obody's sure who started the awful thing that happened in
Sleepy Willow Cemetery, but I have reason to believe it was
Mrs. Emmaline Pride. You see, Mrs. Pride was ninety-two years
old, and since her heart had gotten pretty weak, and her children
never brought her grandbabies home to visit, and she was terrible
bored with Reverend Murcheson's sermons, she had taken to
her deathbed. Well, one afternoon a couple of the widow ladies
from Sleepy Willow Methodist were sitting death-watch with
her, and just as Mrs. Pride --who seemed awfully spry for
a dying woman-- was about to pass on a bit of gossip about
who planted the baby in little Amy Gurtner's belly, she choked
on one of her own hostess cookies, died, and went to Hell.
Now, there's some debate about the why of it, but most people
seem to think Mrs. Pride earned her ticket downstairs by breaking
a couple of commandments with old Dan Peyser back when she
was just a girl. The story goes that Dan's daddy loaned him
to Emmaline's daddy Emmett to help bring in a crop of wheat,
and that Dan encountered young Emmaline in the barn one evening.
Emmaline was an early bloomer and had herself the kind of
shape makes men think with their hands, and Dan was said to
sport a twelve-inch dick with an oversized knob on top the
size and color of a ripe beefsteak tomato, so Dan and Emmaline
decided to celebrate their natural talents by climbing up
to the hayloft for three falls, no time limit.
Thing is, while Emmaline was on her hands and knees with her
nipples scraping the hay and Dan churning her butter from
behind, he gave her an overly enthusiastic poke and she fell
out of the hayloft. Before they could disconnect, though,
Dan squeezed his ass-cheeks together, which swelled the head
of his pecker near to the size of a grapefruit, and it stuck
tight in Emmaline's pussy and stopped her fall. Dan just laughed,
snagged hold of her ankles, and went right on polishing her
pipes, which is why, when old Emmett came into the barn a
minute later, he found his darling daughter dangling upside-down
from the loft, moaning crazily and chewing her own nipples
while Dan juked her out like a post-hole digger.
Emmaline was a quick thinker, though, and when she noticed
her daddy standing there bug-eyed, she managed, between groans
of pleasure, to stammer the word "rape", which spurred Emmett
into vengeful action. He dashed out of the barn, scooted up
the ladder outside, climbed into the loft behind Dan, and
sheared the top of Dan's head right off with a rusty shovel.
Dan's final heroic act was to pitch a massive pelvic spasm
that hoisted Emmaline up by her pussy, flung her back over
his head into the loft like a rag doll (with a small thunderclap
of broken suction as their genitals regretfully parted company),
and splattered her head-to-toe with one last, prodigious load
of procreative gravy. Then he grinned back at her with his
brains dribbling down his shattered forehead, said, "You're
the best, baby girl," gave a rakish little salute, and keeled
off the edge of the loft, deader than Elvis.

nd that's why Mrs. Emmaline Pride found herself standing stark
naked on Hell's doorstep with cookie crumbs on her bosom.
She looked around for a moment, didn't see any way out of
the cave, shrugged in resignation, and pushed the doorbell,
which tipped over a candlestick, which set fire to a string,
which broke, releasing a bowling ball, which rumbled down
a chute and dropped onto an old-fashioned fireplace bellows,
which blew ninety-nine unhappy yellowjackets up Adolf Hitler's
ass.
After the shrieking died down a bit, the door opened and Mrs.
Pride found herself eye to eye with both Beelzebub (who was
seven feet tall, red as the pecker she'd rode in on, and horned
like a goat), and his permanent erection (which was as long
and thick as one of his arms and thus hovered, drooling, a
few inches in front of his pointy chin). "Afternoon, Mrs.
Pride," Beelzebub said, "Step on inside and we'll have ourselves
some tea and cookies."
Following him up the hallway, Mrs. Pride couldn't help but
notice the way the Prince of Evil's dick kept thumping him
on the chin as he walked. When he'd finally escorted her into
a proper little sitting room and they'd occupied chairs on
opposite sides of a steaming tea-kettle and a plate of sugar
cookies, she gestured at the ridiculously intrusive organ
wobbling gently in front of his face, blushed at her own brashness,
and asked, "Isn't that thing a bit uncomfortable?"
Beelzebub smiled until the corners of his mouth tucked themselves
behind his earlobes. "You tell me," he said, and leaping up,
he threw Mrs. Pride over the back of her chair, plunged his
Promethean root into her pussy, tucked a tea bag up her butthole,
and reached for the kettle.
"Wait,"
Mrs. Pride groaned as the relentless piston of demonic gristle
compacted her sweetbreads. "Let's talk about this!"
"Nothing
to talk about," Beelzebub snorted over the rhythmic slapping
of evil scrotum against condemned thighs. "This is eternal
damnation, not musical comedy."
"But
what if I was to show you a special trick?" she pleaded.
And being something of a trickster himself, the Devil stopped
pumping and said, "I beg your pardon?"
"I
spent most of my life milking the sap out of stud bulls on
my daddy's farm," Mrs. Pride said with a lewd wink, "and I
discovered a special trick, something you're bound to like."
The Devil narrowed his eyes skeptically. "Show me."
Mrs. Pride glanced down at her body, eroded by ninety-two
years of gravity and hard living. "I can't, not like this,"
she said. "These old bones won't take it."
"Easily
fixed," Beelzebub said, and snapped his clawed fingers. An
odd shudder ran through the hanging flesh on Mrs. Pride's
bones. For a moment, she seemed to age in reverse, wrinkles
and liver spots shrinking and disappearing, and then she just
exploded into youthfulness like a kernel of pink popcorn.
Ligaments sang like harp strings as her skin drew taut over
smooth muscle. Her waist tapered over a fertile swell of hip
and buttock as if turned on a lathe. The dangling flaps of
her deflated breasts filled up like wineskins, her nipples
sailing north on an incoming tide of ripeness to crown the
upper slopes of the fattest, creamiest-looking pair of belly-smackers
that ever blew out the cups of a brassiere from the Woolworth's.
Golden hair tumbled down in sumptuous waves until the final
curl licked the crack of her heartbreaking ass. Transformed,
Mrs. Pride dipped a finger into the flaxen muff between her
thighs, tasted herself, and grinned. She was eighteen again,
and sweet as honey.
"Oh
my goodness," the Devil muttered.
"That's
much better," Mrs. Pride said, and she squatted down and gently
dragged her golden mound up the underside of Beelzebub's boner,
which wept a wobbling, translucent tear of joy. Reaching the
top, she wrapped her heavy breasts around his plutonic maypole,
her pouting lips just a hair's-breadth from its oozing tip,
and she looked the Devil dead in the eye and whispered, "Ain't
it?"

Beelzebub
felt a bit short of breath. "You mentioned a special trick,"
he grumbled, feigning irritability to cover the tremor in
his voice. "What do you want in exchange?"
Mrs. Pride reclined on her chair and parted her thighs. "Set
me free," she said. "Send me back to the world, young as I
am now, and I'll fetch you a legion of adulterous men." She
raised her legs and miraculously crossed her ankles behind
her head. "I guarantee the trick will make you shoot like
a cannon," she said, smiling wickedly as she teased open the
swollen lips of her honey-pot with a gleaming fingernail,
"but let's work our way up to that. Deal?"
"Oh
my goodness gracious yes," Beelzebub gasped, and snorting
out a fetid gust of brimstone, he dug his claws into her buttocks,
hoisted her sweet ass into the air, and socketed his brawny
red axle in her pussy. Mrs. Pride reached up, grabbed his
horns like handlebars, and matched him stroke for stroke.
He sucked one of her breasts halfway down his throat, and
she caught her other nipple between her teeth and shook her
head like a terrier killing a rat. He smacked her ass with
his thrashing tail, and she captured it in a delicate fist
and corkscrewed the leathery arrowhead into her asshole. Deeper
and deeper he pumped, Mrs. Pride's guts metaphysically shifting
to accommodate his pole until her neck bulged on each in-stroke,
and all the while she moaned the nastiest things he'd ever
heard in his eternal life.
Pretty soon, Beelzebub could feel Hell's legions massing in
his bloated gourds, and he knew his time was short. "The trick,"
he cried as their bodies crashed together with bruising force,
"do the trick!"
And with that, Mrs. Pride shoved her slender hand way up the
Devil's ass, fished around 'til she found whatever she was
looking for up there, and plucked it like a banjo string.
The Devil made a noise like a steam whistle, his ruby eyes
spun like pinwheels, and he unleashed a roaring torrent of
satanic syrup that flung Mrs. Pride across the room and pinned
her to the ceiling for a few seconds. Eight times Beelzebub's
convulsing organ heaved geysers of evil sluice into the air
while he bawled like a newborn calf, and finally, when the
steaming stuff was pooled an inch deep on the floor and the
draperies were completely ruined, something pretty awful happened.
For the first time in all of eternity, the Devil's dick went
limp.
And suddenly, in every corner of Hell, the snakes stopped
biting, the bugs stopped stinging, the maggots lost their
appetites, the screws fell out of the giant scissors, and
the chains and padlocks melted like chocolate. A great whooping
cry of joy went up, and all the damned souls who'd ever sullied
the earth with their sins -- the Cains and Bundys and Amins
and Sinatras, and Mrs. Pride, too -- shrugged off their now-toothless
torments and stampeded for the exits.
And Beelzebub, falling to his goatish knees in a pool of his
own slime and cradling his exhausted crank like a fallen comrade,
listened to the diminishing roar of a few billion feet running
upstairs and sobbed, "Now we're fucked..."

nd I'm here to tell you the old boy was right. I had just
tossed my second spadeful of dirt onto Emmaline Pride's coffin-lid
in Sleepy Willow Cemetery when I heard a rumbling sound, and
I straightened up to glance around just as two-thirds of the
tombstones in the graveyard fell over all at the same time.
A skeletal hand broke through the turf about ten feet to my
right, and then graves were busting open all over the yard,
and dead people were staggering around the cemetery in various
stages of decay, dismemberment, and shameful undress.
Even worse, if my memory of the burial plot map tacked to
the wall in the tool shed was any good, most of these dessicated
residents were among Sleepy Willow's less popular former citizens.
There was Frank Stubbs, who was twelve when he shot his daddy
in the back of the head and thirteen when his mama bore his
first wall-eyed, three-fingered whelp. And behind Frank was
old Emil Cauters, whose surviving kinfolk discovered that
his canning shelves were stocked with pickled hands. And Wanda
Sue Jenks, whose preferred method of breaking off love affairs
involved sticking an icepick in some poor fellow's ear. And
over by the big oak tree was old Doc Wakely, who took a shotgun
to anybody who came to his door for help during the influenza
epidemic. And there were many more of them, but not a one
you'd expect to see in Sunday school.
I would've taken off running right then if not for the lid
of old Mrs. Pride's coffin flying open and the juiciest girl
any man ever laid eyes on leaping out of it, naked as a shaved
cat on its birthday. "Hey, Digger," she said, and I recognized
Mrs. Pride's voice, which still had ninety-two years' worth
of rust and grit and warble in it. I wondered for a second
if I was imagining it, but one look at all those worm-eaten
folks scratching and stumbling around in the moonlight convinced
me that my hearing was probably the least of my worries.
"Miz
Pride," I stammered, falling to my knees alongside the grave,
"what in God's name's happened to you?"
"Everything's
fine as fiddles, Digger," she said, standing up in the coffin
and brushing dirt off of the fattest, sweetest-looking titties
I ever saw. "We're just back, is all. Now why don't you act
like a gentleman and offer a lady your hand?"
I hated to admit it, but she had me there. Mama raised us
boys to be gentlemanly, and a quick, relieved glance at Mama's
undisturbed grave suggested that her advice had been right
enough. Little as I wanted to get close to anybody who'd just
popped out of her own casket, Mrs. Pride looked peachy pink
and plain delicious in the moonlight, and she gratefully took
hold of the hand I reached out to her.
And pulled me down into her open grave.
I landed on my ass in the coffin because there was nowhere
else to land, and Mrs. Pride thumped down on top of me. She
was laughing -- which didn't quite seem in tune with the current
goings-on -- and just as I was about to ask why, she crammed
one of those glorious tits into my mouth and started unbuttoning
my dungarees.
"Something
went wrong down there, Digger," she muttered as she fished
my pecker out of my pants, "but I guess a deal's a deal, and
now's as good a time as any to get started." I couldn't figure
out what she was talking about, but then her ass went up and
her head went down, and she scooped up the knob-end of my
dick with her tongue and slurped it into her mouth.
Now, I might've been scared, and I might've been confused,
but Mrs. Pride could've given a straw scarecrow a knotty pine
boner if she'd halfway set her mind to it. She had my poker
pointing at the moon in short order, and then she clambered
up and screwed her hot pussy onto it. I filled my hands with
ivory tit-flesh that bulged out between my fingers, and worried
her nipples with my teeth and tongue until they were as firm
and plump as bing cherries, but none of that diminished my
urge to climb out of that grave and put several miles of mindless
sprinting between me and Sleepy Willow Cemetery.
Mrs. Pride was moaning by then. "You wanted this, didn't you,
Digger?" she sighed. "A stiff pecker always tells the truth,
and you're going to fall just like the rest of them." And
with that, I started getting a vague idea of what she might
be going on about, and wondered if the tombstones were tumbling
in all the other graveyards in the world. I didn't think for
a second that I could stop what I believed was happening,
but I knew right then that I was going to have to do something
I really didn't want to do.
"Climb
on up here, Miz Pride," I said, "and take a seat on my face."
"Digger,
you're so wicked," she said with a funny pinch of guess-I-was-right
in her voice that only made things worse, and then she slipped
off my dick and scooted her knees up alongside my ears. I
had some doubts about what I was planning, but when she reached
between her legs and skinned her folds back so I could get
at her pussy-button, I saw the graveyard dirt under her fingernails
and knew I could do what I had to. I grabbed the cheeks of
her ass and pulled her golden mound to my lips, found her
gumdrop, and sucked it onto my tongue. Then I flicked and
stroked and circled that sweet little button until Mrs. Pride
was hunched over the head-end of the casket, humping her pussy-meat
into my mouth and screeching like a cat with its tail caught
in a wringer.
And that's when I reached up and slammed the coffin lid with
all the strength I had, and snapped her beautiful head right
off of her neck. And even though her corpse was still grinding
and creaming against my chin, I knew that Mrs. Pride was already
plummeting back down into Hell and landing with a gooey splash
on the soggy carpet in the Devil's parlor, where one look
at her was bound to put the steel back into Beelzebub's bone.
And then I laid there in the dark between Mrs. Pride's thighs
and begged for God's forgiveness while my stupid, sinful,
truth-telling pecker spurted against the sweet, cold curve
of her backside.
By the time I managed to haul myself out of the grave, the
sinners of Sleepy Willow Cemetery were reburying themselves
for the trip back to Hell, and all was quiet except for the
scratch of fingerbones on dirt and an occasional rasping,
clicking cuss of disappointment. I found my spade and laid
in six feet of hard-packed dirt between the late Mrs. Pride
and the world I live in.

hings have been pretty quiet since then. I just about lost
my job because of all the ruined graves, but eventually the
town elders realized I couldn't have made such a mess all
by myself, gave the whole business up for unknown, and told
me to just fix it. It took me two months to pack it all down
smooth again, and another month to get in a good lawn of grass.
Even so, every single one of the sinners' tombstones got broken
on the night they clawed open their graves, so the cemetery
will always look a little snaggle-toothed from now on.

The
sinners stay dead, at least, but every now and then, late at
night, the earth trembles a little under Sleepy Willow Cemetery,
and I know our Mrs. Pride is still down there, matching the
Devil stroke for stroke. And I wonder, of the two of them, who's
tormenting who. |
