Abby’s heart pounded as she stared at the product on the screen. Just a few weeks ago she would’ve never considered this purchase. Adam had suggested a similar one just a few months before and she’d shot him down. But now she had to try it. She hastily hit the button to place the order before she changed her mind.
It was a few days later, Abby and Adam were sitting in the living room watching tv. The very quiet Saturday afternoon was interrupted by a knock at the door. Abby knowingly stood up to get it. “I wouldn’t do that, it’s probably the missionaries again,” Adam says,”Besides this is my place I should probably get the door.”
“Actually, I got you a little surprise and figured I should have it sent here, wait right there,” Abby replied a little nervously. She opened the door and saw the box leaning to the side of the door. She hauled the surprisingly lightweight box into the living room to a curious Adam looking over his shoulder. The box looked pretty thin, and flat looking.
Abby leaned it against the back of the couch, “There it is.” She still looked nervous. Who wouldn’t be. She was more than likely about to face one of her major fears very soon, and willingly so. The box was the sign that there was no turning back.
Adam was very outwardly confused. “What is ‘it’?” Adam asked. The box was unmarked other than the shipping address, and its shape offered no hints of its contents.
“Go ahead, open it,” Abby replied sheepishly.
Adam walked around the back of the couch and popped open one end of the box. Reaching in he pulled out two pieces of wood shaped almost like furniture feet with notches in their middle. Upon inspecting the other contents he finally realized what it was. “Really?”, he exclaimed in genuine surprise.
He pulled the contents out and assembled it. When it was done it was clear to see. It was the adjustable Zopper stock for Adams jigsaw “trick”. Though originally meant to saw through the assistant’s neck this design allowed for just about anything to be placed in and sawed. “I thought you said absolutely not to this,” says Adam.
“I’m not totally sold on it, but I figured since I like being sawed in half it might be worth trying some…. other things,” Abby replied. “Well go ahead and get it,” she said, knowing that Adam would want to try it immediately.
He’d barely waited for her to finish before he rushed to his closet to get the jigsaw and main stock. He returned with those tools in hand. “So should we go ahead and try it on one of your legs like I’d asked?” Adam said as he returned. He looked at Abby’s wonderfully shaped legs as he said this, he admittedly really wanted that.
“No,” she replied, “let….let’s just go for it.”
This left Adam speechless.
You see, Abby had always been afraid of things that felt constricting on her neck. She’d even rebuked Adam's gift of a very nice choker necklace at one point. The thought of her not only letting the stock go over her neck, but also losing her head in the process was out of left field.
She took a throw pillow from the couch and threw it down in front of the stock. “Are you sure”, Adam was finally able to say.
Abby said nothing. She kneeled down on the throw pillow and leaned herself forward over the stand. Her neck sat perfectly on the curve. “You’re going to want to move your hair,” Adam remarked, “I know you weren’t looking to get a short haircut right now.”
“Yeah,” she sighs, having had her brave moment stolen by Adam’s suggestion. She was watched intently by Adam as she proceeded to tie her hair up in a ponytail before again assuming her position with her neck in the stock.
Adam slowly placed the jigsaw frame over the back of Abby’s slender neck, being careful not to make her too uncomfortable. Though her face showed that this care didn’t matter as a slight look of fear started to become apparent.
“We don’t have to…,” Adam starts only to be interrupted by Abby quickly cutting him off.
“I bought it, didn't I? Just hurry up and do it already.” She was trying to sound calm but clearly wasn’t.
Adam hesitated, but he finally lined up and started the saw.
Abby’s heart was now racing as the saw now roared closer to her ears. What was she doing? This is so stupid, she thought.
Luckily, or unluckily, she didn’t have much time to think as the teeth of the saw bit into the side of her neck. This felt different. Where the saw at her waist had felt smooth and so good, this tingled. Not to say it was painful but she definitely wasn’t deriving the same pleasure at this point. She could feel as the saw reached the vertebrae in her neck since there was no immediate rush of pleasure to cover it this time. However, as she felt it cross halfway through that familiar feeling finally arose. Now distracted she didn’t notice as the saw finished traveling through those bones in her neck. She would have been totally unaware that she had been effectively decapitated, had he not felt herself fall forward onto the carpet.
Adam gasped as he realized their mistake. Magicians never actually needed that bucket or pillow in front of their chopper but the young couple here definitely did. Abby’s head rolled forward for a bit before rocking back and forth and coming to a stop.
The heavy breathing told Adam everything was okay. He apologized profusely as he rushed to pick her head up from off the floor, fearing that he’d really upset her this time given her silence.
As he picked her up he realized that though she was breathing heavily she had a big grin across her face. He brought her head up to his level and looked closely at her. “That was incredible,” she finally mustered. She instinctively began to lean in for a kiss before realizing that she couldn’t. The stock shook as her now headless body moved slightly.
They were now both distracted by Abby’s body, with its neck still sitting in the stock.
“I guess I should get out of this thing,” Abby said. Adam watched intently as Abby’s neck stump rose above the stock. It was perfectly flat and capped with clear milky white skin like the rest of Abby’s body.
“Well this is way easier than making just my legs walk,” Abby declared triumphantly as her body approached Adam and Abby’s head. Adam just stood there awestruck as his girlfriend’s headless body stood next to him while he clutched her detached head.
Adam absent-mindedly moved Abby’s head under one arm and reached out in front of him. He stroked the part of her neck he had plenty of times before. He moved to stroke his hand across the new skin at the top of her neck. Abby breathed in as he did this and simply said,”whoah.”
Adam snapped out of his state of shock and lifted Abby’s face to his and gave her a peck on the lips. “I’m sorry, I got a bit carried away,” he said, staring into her hazel eyes.
“That’s okay, you can get as carried away as you want,” Abby replied as she looked over at her body.
Adam knowingly glanced over. Something about her slender neck stump emphasized her small but perky breasts. She looked great in her tight black T-shirt and short-shorts. She’d look just as good without them…….
