Lethal Experiences - Castor Grey

Amanda wondered what had made her pick the grey-tagged key, but with a shrug headed for the door with the grey panel for a name-plate. Beyond the door was a room resembling any of a million inexpensive en-suite rooms around the world; short passage with a door into a shower room with W.C. leading to a squarish room with a double bed, a dresser, a TV mounted on the wall and a couple of low chairs around a coffee table.

Amid all the familiarity was an anomaly, on the bed lay a dress that looked like it was made of silvered plastic and rather short. Beside the dress was an envelope that when emptied disgorged a single sheet of paper, a pair of silvery ballet slippers and some silvery stockings. The sheet of paper told her that she should remove all her clothes and put on the items provided.

Amanda undressed and put on the stockings and the slippers. She turned her attention to the dress. She was surprised by how flexible the thin plastic of the dress was under her touch and how lightweight. After a bit of struggle she worked out that she needed to dive in through the bottom and feed her head and arms out of the top. Once she had put on the dress, she found it moderately comfortable, but a lot shorter than she had already anticipated. She opened the wardrobe and found a full length mirror in which she could see that the silvery material became like a cone from her upper chest down and it was long enough to cover her modesty, but with only an inch to spare. She made two other observations; the first was that when she bent forward the rear hem would lift and reveal an amount of buttock; the second was that at certain angles light went through the material of the dress, but most of the time it was reflective as if it was polished steel.

A second consultation if the sheet of paper told her to enter the shower cubicle in the en suite and once the door was closed say, 'Beam me up, Scotty!'

Thinking that this was a little strange and a lot nerdy, she entered the shower cubicle and said the famous line that was never said. She heard a momentary high-pitched twinkly whine with a couple of hi-tech button press noises, as her awareness faded briefly. It quickly returned with a similar noise, but she was now in the corner of an alcove looking out onto an empty area the other side of a beautifully laid dining table.

She did not get much time to take this in before there was more twinkly whining that announced the the arrival of her dining companion. When he had materialised, he stepped forward, offering his hand and introducing himself as Gavin. He was dressed in a long-sleeved top in a gold colour and dark trousers. A little below his collar on his left was an emblem of a star-spanning empire.

As Amanda and Gavin shook hands and exchanged kisses, a waitress arrived. She was dressed in a gold metal bikini lined with crimson fabric and a skirt that consisted of a waist-band with crimson panels at the front and back, but not to the sides. After introducing herself as Jenny, she took their drinks orders and assured them that their pre-ordered food would be coming shortly.

Amanda and Gavin enjoyed their meal and each others company. While they finished their dessert they watched four other couples take part in lethal illusions. The first woman should have drowned after being trapping in a box of water, the second was flattened, the third was beheaded and the fourth was burnt to death and came out a ghost; despite these seemingly fatal predicaments, they all seemed moderately happy with their situations.

Even given the warning at the outset that they would be called upon to take part in an act involving some potential fatality of their own, Amanda and Gavin were surprised to be called forward next. While the magician engaged in a bit of small talk, Jenny fetched two identical looking cabinets and placed them spaced about four feet apart. The cabinets looked identical, because they were the same size and were each covered in a large sheet that concealed the details.

"For your challenge, I propose a race. Behind us we have two cabinets that do something that you don't need to be trained to operate. At the end of the race, the loser gets into the other cabinet."

Both Amanda and Gavin seemed a bit wary of this proposal, but did not say 'no'.

"In case you were wondering, the operation of these cabinets is basically turning a wheel until it stops and to prevent the risk of a dead heat, the cabinets are set up so that the winners cabinet can be reversed to accommodate the loser, but the loser's cabinet will lock in place until loser has paid the forfeit."

While the magician proposed the idea, Jenny was plugging trailing cables from each cabinet to sockets in the floor and another cable from one cabinet to the other.

"Shall we take a look at the cabinets?" The magician stepped between the cabinets and tugged on the cloth coverings, which he quickly gathered into his hands and tossed to the rear of the performance area. The cabinets revealed were mirror images of each other; they were clear glass boxes with an opaque wall on the side away from the other and some apparatus at the back, which could not be clearly resolved. The front glass panels seemed to have a pattern of holes. Each cabinet had a large wheel on the rear; this was the wheel the magician had talked about turning.

"Alright shall we get started?" The magician flicked a catch on the side of each cabinet. Standing between the two matched cabinets, he pulled a small knob on each, opening a sliding panel. "To be sure that you know exactly where you are supposed to stand we'll demonstrate by getting Jenny into place; so watch carefully!"

The panel opened access to a narrow space between two sheets of glass with matching patterns of holes. Spanning the person-depth space were four fittings at ankle-level and another six at neck level. Facing forwards, Jenny slid sideways into the cabinet, bending sideways to duck her head under the neck-level fittings. She was quickly standing centrally in the cramped space in the front of the cabinet. The magician leaned down and pushed the outer two lower fittings inwards until they clicked into place locked around the waitress' bare ankles. While he did this she brought the middle two of the upper fittings closer together until they locked around her neck. She then held her hands up, between the fittings remaining on the upper level to allowed them to be locked about her wrists.

"You see, it's all straightforward; so Amanda please take the corresponding position in the other cabinet."

Amanda seemed a bit conflicted about whether she wanted to be in the cabinet; the unknown and unclear nature of the remainder of the apparatus made her nervous, but Jenny's apparent enthusiasm implied that whatever was planned it might even be pleasant. She stepped sideways into the cabinet, but struggled to get herself into position; she reasoned that Jenny had had some practice in smoothly entering the cramped space that pressed both her shoulder blades and breasts, as her breath briefly misted the glass sheet in front of her nose.

The magician and Gavin made quick work of securing her into the cabinet by the fittings that had made her entry into the space so difficult. The magician took hold of the knobs that he had used to open the sides of the cabinet and moved the panels back to the closed position. As the panel touched the frame, there was an ominous clunk of things locking solidly in place and an accompanying beep.

"Those doors are locked until the race is complete and will only open on the cabinet of the race's winner. Now we power up the rest of the cabinet and I tell you what you need to do, because it would not be fair, if I didn't."

He touched a switch on each cabinet and a humming started which quickly faded as a bank of long forward-facing bulbs lit up behind the women shackled in the glass boxes. The light behind Amanda were red and those silhouetting Jenny were blue.

"What you have to do is simplicity itself, when I give the word all you have to do turn the wheel on the back clockwise as fast as you possibly can. When the bulbs have been pushed forward to their maximum extent there will be a buzz and the wheel will lock until whoever has come second has finished. When we have both completed the task of winding the bed of lightbulbs forward through our companions, the one who finished first will be able to unwind the light-spiker to release their companion so that the loser can take her place and experience being filled with lightbulbs for himself."

Gavin and the magician took up their positions behind the cabinets. The magician invited Gavin to count down the start of the race; which he did, then both men began to turn their wheels. Initially turning the wheel to propel the bed of lightbulb spikes forward was easy; the wheel could be turned by the pressure of a single finger on one of the wheel's spokes. But soon Gavin felt the some resistance and heard an indrawn breath of shock and surprise from Amanda. She felt some hot and hard things touch her back and press; she was thoroughly disconcerted by that and a red glow that surrounded her. Out of the corner of her eye she could detect the blue glow from the cabinet containing Jenny without being able to see where it came from.

At the first feeling of resistance, Gavin worried that he might be hurting his dinner companion, but quickly picked up the pace, when he saw that the magician was needing to put more effort into the turning of his wheel, but was not hesitating to push the bed of lamps against the assistant in the slave Leia outfit. After a couple of turns that felt as if the wheel was going to grind to a halt, the going became easier, but still not as easy as the first stage. It soon became apparent to Gavin that the visible length of most of the lamps making up the spike beds was getting shorter. To the audience it appeared that most of the lit up spikes were behind the two victims, but they were taking on a glow as if lit from the inside.

The fact that Jenny was glowing blue served to outline her costume, while the reddish glow emanating from Amanda illuminated the inside of her previously reflective dress making her figure and general curves quite visible.

Soon brighter patches showed on the victims, which intensified until the ends of the lightbulbs emerged from their flesh; in Jenny's case the ends were visible, except one near her crotch, which nudged the front panel of her skirt aside, but was bright enough that no detail could be seen. On Amanda, the spikes emerged and then melted their way through the plastic of her dress.

There were two thuds a couple of seconds apart, as magnetic couplers engaged to lock the beds of illuminated spikes in place through their victims. This was followed by the promised beep.

"Before we find out who won the race, let's go and have a look at the result," suggested the magician. Taking Gavin by the hand and leading him between the cabinets. It was evident that the bed of lightbulbs had been pushed forward by the turning of the wheel until each lightbulb crossed the narrow gap from the plate behind the victims, through them and out through the front face of the cabinet.

Each woman was pierced by many of the bulbs at each of the joints in their limbs (above their trapped ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows and below their trapped wrists), through their torsos (at their crotches, bellies, breasts and bases of their throats). What amazed Gavin the most was the two bulbs that penetrated Amanda above the upper restraints; one emerged from her mouth stretching it into an uncomfortable looking 'O' while the other stuck straight out of her forehead. The forehead bulb seemed to have an ambivalent effect on Amanda, she did not want to look at it, because it was very bright, and close to her eyes, but also the implication that it had been driven through her skull and brain, except she was fascinated by it and kept glancing almost cross-eyed at it.

The magician took the opportunity to show the onlookers what Jenny looked like from the side and prove that she was impaled by the multiple glowing spikes.

"Now that people have had the chance to see what has happened, let's find out who won."

Behind the cabinets both wheels turned freely, but only the magician's had the effect of withdrawing the spikes from the cabinet's tenant. Soon the blue spikes were returned to their original position and the magician released Jenny from her bonds no worse for being impaled by so many lightbulbs.

"Gavin, it's now your turn to enter the light-spiker cabinet." Gavin was nervous about entering the cabinet, but seeing that Amanda was not in any pain he allowed himself to be guided between the plates of the blue illuminated cabinet and fixed in place.

The process of Jenny winding the wheel to push the bed of glowing spikes forward, went much the same as when the magician had been turning the wheel, except that Gavin flinched when he felt the first contact from the spikes.

The magician and the waitress turned the cabinets sideways to show that Amanda and Gavin were impaled on the spikes before turning the wheel to pull the spikes out. It soon became apparent that not all the spikes were being fully withdraw from the occupants of the cabinet. With the spiker-beds returned to their original positions, both victims retained some glowing parts as if some of the bulbs had remained inside their bodies.

Both volunteers had bright eyes and showed light when they opened their mouths. Amanda's entire torso glowed from shoulder to crotch and her back-lit nipples were visible through the holes melted into the plastic of her no longer reflective plastic dress. Gavin's remaining illumination was less easy to see, but seemed to be limited to his shoulders and crotch.

Having been shown to the audience and returned to their dining alcove, Amanda and Gavin watched the final act that used the remaining pair of diners, then retired to Gavin's room.

They enjoyed making love together, especially as the blue glow at Gavin's crotch seemed to add a rigidity to his cock as if the glowing spike had been left inside, and not only the glow.

After an exhausting night they slept and were glow free when they woke, but had another short bout of love-making before the dressed for breakfast.
