The Storm by marmot In which a foolish, hurtful male is given a new start. The Storm The sky was lit from horizon to horizon by a millisecond blast of lightning. The windows in the Fast Mart rattled a moment later with the peal of thunder. Wendy Carlton looked out into the night, anticipation building within her belly. The Storm was finally brewing, and would soon hit the town of Mountain Falls. She smiled and hummed as she swept her store. Jack "The Ripper" Burns looked up into the sky with a growing sense of unease. He skulked from shadow to shadow, feeling more the hunted than the hunter. Stormy nights like this one promised to be were usually the best for his line of work, and tonight's job would be like taking candy from a baby. So why was there such a gnawing fear in his belly? Wendy counted out change for the nervous pup in the raincoat. The coming Storm, or maybe just the idea of it, emboldened her to suggest the traveler stop for the night at the Motel 8, one of the two motels the local economy would bear, where one of her sisters worked. The pup, until tonight like any typical know-it-all male, had just started his patronizing reply when another deep rumble sounded. He nodded nervously and hurried on his way. Jack crouched in the bushes casing the Fast Mart. His watch read 11:45. In the past hour, the store saw only 2 customers, including the police cruiser about 11:30 just like last night. He would wait 10 more minutes, then start to work. It was gonna be child's play. The store clerk was a babe, too; this promised to be a fun night. Thunder bellowed from the black sky and Jack fought to avoid crying out in fear. Wendy sipped her slushy, listening to the announcer on KRSH FM. Her voice was more hypnotic than usual, and her traveler's advisory held a weighty tone. If nothing else, this told Wendy that her sister expected this as not only a storm but The Storm, which their coven had summoned on Summer Solstice and had been eagerly awaiting ever since. And poor Wendy just had to be alone tonite. "Goddess, please bring me a male to care for," she prayed. "STEP AWAY FROM THE COUNTER, BITCH!" Jack shouted from beneath his ski mask. He clicked the safety off his Glock 9mm. He felt the adrenaline rush as he locked the door and turned the Closed sign around. His eyes never left the babe. Her tits were nice, if a bit small, and God damn was she gorgeous! "We're gonna have ourselves some fun, and if you ARE fun, you just might live through the night," He leered. Wendy stepped back a pace, indulgently obeying the little male the Great Mother brought her. His demeanor, his words, and the bulge in his pants all suggested this little male intended to rape her. That this was not his first such sin was obvious to her, that it was to be his last would soon be equally obvious to him. She looked up into his brown eyes. She even managed to keep a straight face. "Please don't hurt me." Jack smiled beneath his ski mask. This babe really was gonna be fun. In the words of the locals, he had hit the mother lode. He waved the gun menacingly. "Get in the back room, sugar, then we'll talk about it." He laughed. "Who knows? I just might NOT hurt you!" His words and laughter were suddenly punctuated by a loud crashing of thunder. The Storm had arrived. Wendy slipped quickly around the counter as rain started drumming loudly on the roof. She smiled at her male as he looked about, confusion and fear obvious in his motions. Good: he had reason to be afraid. She approached her male confidently, watching his fear grow into fright as the rain intensified into a real downpour. She tried not to be glad when he wet himself. Jack sank to his knees, shuddering, trying hard not to panic. Why was he so afraid? The Woman was coming toward him. Would She help him? He never felt so deeply afraid! He knew that he was very bad, and that he should be punished. Was She going to hurt him? The sky was lit by lightning as thunder again shook the building. Jack's heart pounded in terror. At the next peal of thunder, he broke down and wept unashamedly. Wendy's heart ached with concern for the frightened little male before her, though she admitted a vindictive satisfaction at his sudden change from rapist to victim. She watched as his fear gave way to terror. He huddled under her, moved between her legs as she neared. She gently took the gun from the trembling hands of her would-be assailant, setting it on the counter. Wendy spoke softly, sweetly, soothing her shaken male, as he knelt whimpering at her feet. Jack kissed the Woman's feet all over, begging for Her forgiveness, pleading for Her not to hurt him, asking timidly for Her protection. His voice was near gone from terror. He was paralyzed with fear. She squatted down, Her thick legs on either side of him. He flinched when She put Her arms around him, then relaxed tentatively in Her warm, protective embrace. He heard the Woman speak, Her words a gentle counterpoint to the fierce rainstorm outside. "There, there, my little one. Momma's here, and Momma won't let little, um, Shawn come to any harm. You've been a very naughty male, but now you're my good little Shawn, and I love you, little one. Momma's gonna love you, and protect you, and provide for you, and be in charge of you forever, and you will always belong to Momma. Do you want that, little one?" Jack, looked up into the nicest, most wonderful face he had ever seen. His eyes were swallowed in the gaze of the most important and perfect person ever. His fear subsided as he rested in Her arms. She was waiting for something. For his response. Inside he knew that this was somehow the most important decision he had ever made. He nodded, wordlessly but sincerely. "So mote it be," Wendy said. She sat cross-legged, holding her little Shawn tightly as the storm raged outside. She felt strength course through her as her male diminished in size and strength in her grasp. It was exciting, very fulfilling, and even a little bit frightening. She felt the permanent bond forming between them as she gave him the certainty of her care in exchange for his strength and will. She removed that awful ski mask and noticed his eyes had changed from brown to blue. Jack the Ripper was gone, wiped out as completely as the rest of the little male's memories. Shawn Carlton lay in his Momma's soft lap, feeling Her big, strong arms around his small frame. Momma removed the ridiculously large clothes from him, and held his naked little body to Her. He felt so safe and warm in Her arms as She rocked him gently. The fierce storm outside was a minor distraction. All that mattered was Her soft blue eyes, the sound of Her sweet voice, the feel of Her warm bosom. "Thank you, Goddess," Wendy prayed. Shawn's regression was nearly complete. In the span of a few moments, the male had been changed from a foolish, hurtful adult into a baby. Into her baby. Looking at her infant son cradled in her arms, Wendy felt as though she had never been happier. "Love you, little one," she told her little male baby. At her child's wordless, cooing response, Wendy felt her heart well up with maternal love, and she felt the milk in her large, very full breasts let down. Momma unbuttoned her blouse, and put Shawn to Her breast. He was hesitant at first, then his confidence in Her love and care grew. He grasped Her large round breast in his small stubby hands, stuffed Her entire nipple into his little toothless mouth and sucked hard. Shawn made little whimpering noises as Momma fed him. Momma's milk filled and distended his little tummy and made him sleepy. Soon his soft snoring was unheard over the sound of the Storm.
