Nathan drew away from the sunset in the distance as he drove away from the voices of Red Planet which haunted him. They called him a ‘heretic’ among other things – and a Jew. His father said he was going back home to live in disgrace. Schizophrenic Nathan. Defeated Nathan and now suicidal Nathan. He was going back to live in the boondocks where he had discovered his belated ‘power’ and the realm of ‘remnant’. Nathan liked to call it “Red Planet” … Little did he know that the voices which had haunted him for most of his life were real and that medication possibly suppressed their development. His family wouldn’t understand or at least his father who was so deep in the closet he was in Narnia when it came to Red Planet… L’Ultimo Squalo had eluded him again. The sunset would have to wait. Along with peace of mind.
Nathan unbeknownst to him had been living within red planet for a number of years as he thought himself mad Orr self indulgent in terms of his musing. He thought them dreams or the imaginings of his so-callled genius … He didn’t know that it was the power and that a large part of the population had the power to varying degrees… Beware those with great power as absolute power corrupts. And Nathan would find this in the form of a character named King Goona.
Nathan befriended a witch who he called Codename Hedy Lamarr at the place where he lived and she would speak to him over long distances in his head… This was around the time Nathan realised he had limited powers – but to describe the ‘power’ among those who don’t have it is difficult… For Nathan the ‘real’ voices he heard were no whispers through a wall or from in the distance but on some sort of high frequency broadband network so to speak – an open frequency if you like which everyone in the radius of a couple of kilometres could hear and he came to realise that some of these people could actually see through his eyes to the point where they could watch him take a shit. Nathan had been a loser most of his life and it was those on this band who were the most vulnerable to attack. Losers were also expendable in the eyes of society and especially King Goona. As it turned out Nathan had no privacy, not even his thoughts and he had no switch off button …. Crazy as the voices of Red Planet were they could be explained in terms of portals opening in a person’s mind or somehow in the elements of the atmosphere itself. It turned out these portals or electronic messages through computers meant Nathan could talk to those in other cities… If Nathan thought of Hedy Lamarr she would answer and it was Nathan’’s habit to think of her several times a day which annoyed the elderly lesbian. However, bonding with certain people found Nathan could lead to these portals being formed along with making enemies … The portal with Julia remained only a vocal one until she told the tale of her husband which may or may not have been true about how he came home and raped her and punched her once in the face which led to her losing her tooth … Not only was this a vocal retelling of what was not necessarily a true tale but a pool opened up in Nathan’s mind’s eye as the tale was also recounted visually.
“And that was how I was first awoken to the power,” said Nathan “And yet this is not all true since it was a very gradual experience.”
It was a sunny day when a couple of voices visited him and spoke to him but still they remained elusive and would not make it clear who they really were … One would turn out to be King Goona the same man who would later invite him to a screening of twilight Red Planet short subjects and then sabotage him at the same time just to humiliate him. It became an ever increasing pattern of behaviour of this appointed King of the Realm… and little did Nathan know that the voices were not necessarily friends and in fact hardly any would be but would turn on you in an instant and King Goona wanted Nathan dead along with the stalking relative who had put Nathan in hospital in the first place thanks to his connections and a discrete phone call… An alliance was forged in a battle for Nathan’s sanity and life which we cannot give an account here.
Nathan never considered himself a poofter or even a true lover of women … the power of Red Planet would soon seduce him …. You see Nathan had a brain damaged power caused by too many drugs as a teenager to enter the mind’s eye of others and create images which they often desired and sexuality was one of Nathan’s preoccupations on Red Planet… For Nathan this meant freedom on a new level and as for the old Spiderman quote ‘with great power comes great responsibility’, Nathan still had some scruples… He used his powers sparingly at first…
But he was unable to concentrate on Red Planet and carry on a conversation in the real world at the same time which probably looked like schizophrenia as Nathan would sit there staring into space while having a couple of conversations in his head with so-called imaginary people who were really on Red Planet… He called this place the spirit world at first or the occult and wondered if those who used it were really Satanists… It was certainly a plain of existence on the planet which had eluded Nathan for most of his adult life. Instead he had lived in the real world and used his imagination for writing and movies whereas others had honed their powers into the mind’s eye of themselves and others and were able to produce magnificent imagery.
What is L’Ultimo Squalo? To Nathan it meant little more than the two and a half metre wad he fired up into the ceiling which hit a movie poster of Jaws 2 which showed a giant shark’s fin in the sunset …. To King Goona it was his own cock – great and white…. King Goona to the kids, King Goona to all …merciless destroyer of Nathan for little more than a missing piece of skin if you can work that out.
Nathan’s lost privacy had already destroyed his life and so he would use the Magic Mirror to look at his own cock just for himself or was it to annoy those who did not like what they saw? Such was his new life outside of hospital as he tried to cope with his own ageing body image and poor health and create a new home for himself. They were stuck with the magic mirror and his cock anyway like it or not. Just like they were stuck with Nathan’s thoughts and songs being broadcast throughout what was his dominion as well as the larger dominions or realms (count six) of King Goona … The power comes at a price and Nathan was yet to fully pay his … There was no doubt that King Goona had researched the power as much as it could be researched and used his mind’s eye to charm with his foot long dong the minds of men and women and children alike. And this was one of the downfalls of the power, they could be used to corrupt others including the young, making them do things they necessarily wouldn’t do… The power of suggestion added to sexual ideas … They could also compel people to commit suicide.
There was a couple in Nathan’s car as he drove away from the sun and they were invisible. He knew one of them from his youth and the other was his friend’s girlfriend. The reason why they were there they told Nathan was for his friend to see Nathan’s cock in the magic mirror through the eyes of Nathan. He could probably see it anyway. How these spirits or powers travelled in the car in the backseat Nathan could not quite comprehend but once more it had something to do with bonding with the spirit or personality and that personality concentrating and travelling the astral plain.
“I remember you had a stiffy in the showers at school and you had shaved your cock,” said his friend. “And it was enormous.”
“Yeah well it’s tiny now,” said Nathan indicating an inch or so with his fingers.
“We’ll always be friends?”
Nathan held out his hand and shook the invisible one behind him. It could be seen almost imperceptibly by Nathan as though it was actually there and the driver thought to himself yet again that he was perhaps seeing things convinced nonetheless of the ‘reality’. As he drove home to the boondocks these spirits suddenly met with King Goona and they seemed to glide beside the car together outside having a conversation while the girlfriend sat invisibly bored. What was this affinity with the poofter pedophiles? Nathan was not really of their world although they would try to seduce him into something which he thought morally wrong. Curiosity would kill the cat. Driving further along and Nathan wondered if it was only the stereo which was wired.
The first people to catch a lift home with Nathan on a previous occasion after one of his sojourns at his parent’s place was a barman named Adam who was twenty three and had a cock only two inches long. He brought a friend. They too were invisible of course. Nathan was following his poofter instincts and Joe was one of the few in town. Nathan spotted him at the bar. It was a choice between an effeminate barman who was eating a muffin rather messily or overweight Adam … somehow Nathan tuned into Adam and while he was lying down in bed the mind’s eye scene of Red Planet began to take effect…
It opened in the sordid surroundings of a caravan in the caravan park. Adam was 23 and Nathan was 16 …. Naked Nathan admired Adam’s two incher … Nathan was already erect.
“I love your cock. Can I pull back your foreskin?”
Nathan reached for it and used his thumb and forefinger to pull the white skin back. It got erect as this happened and there stood Adam in all his glory. Nathan kissed Adam as Adam revealed he wanted to ‘make love’ or ‘fuck’ anally.
“I don’t like cut cock,” said Adam which was the catch-cry of most of the homosexuals that Nathan had met. For some reason their narcissism demanded an uncut cock. Anyway he waved around a piece of skin as if it meant something and it did … Nathan was meaningless to him.
Nathan fucked the barman and they kissed like longtime lovers. It was then that Nathan went down on Adam and gave him a thoroughly good head job. It was Nathan’s motive to make those men or young men which he had sex with to enjoy the experience and grow as so-called gay lovers. Red Planet became a source of giving pleasure and Nathan indulged those pleasures which he had not in the real world. In fact, there were even straight men who were indulged by the teenage Nathan to the point of absolute and unforgettable pleasure.
“I want to watch you blow a wad,” said Adam in the back of the car that day as it became apparent that they could actually travel the two hundred kilometre distance from his parent’s home town to the place where Nathan kept his magic mirror. Sadly, for Adam, Nathan couldn’t manage a wad and Adam got too drunk at the other end and so his friend pulled the plug on their portal visit … perhaps it shouldn’t be called a portal but remnant as most do. Poor insane Nathan!
Nathan couldn’t help himself in bars and was soon almost banned in one for his Red Planet activity. Bent on foreskin as a ways of seducing men, he attached himself to a barman with ‘sensitive’ eyes …. This guy described his cock.
“It’s white with a pucker,” he said and so Nathan introduced his sixteen year old naked self and the barman examined his cock while Nathan examined his. This barman didn’t like anal but had a good figure ….
“I think we pulled off together after he checked me out and then I went in and had sex with the cook who then delivered a great pizza and then I took on the petite barmaid fingering her vagina until I could see the pink bits before fucking her up the arse. After that there was a couple looking bored. The guy was a boring poof and so I ate the girl out before having her up against the wall…. It was a good bar to go to until I drove a tractor through it under the influence of the punk girl I knew,” said Nathan.
Living in the realm of King Goona proved problematical for Nathan as King Goona was a plagiarist of Nathan’s sporadic wisdom and writing with the dark web and the web at his disposal along with all of his knowledge of computer software and spyware. Nathan even wondered whether he would make himself the hero of the pieces he wrote by swapping his name for Nathan’s. This is all theory thought Nathan as no person could stalk him for days and weeks on end just because Nathan had a cut knob to the point where it was pathological to kill him for it and so or could they? Well, Nathan would end up dead and poor anyway. The way Nathan would end up dead would be through OD or overdose. Nathan smoked and drank and the old trick of banging a glass on the table to cue a smoke or another drink in the addicted. It would be used by King Goona with long pointless conversations with Nathan. There were those who followed King Goona who also did the same the Nathan. And there were bets who could talk long enough for Nathan to have the most cigarettes.
There are no mistakes on Red Planet it is said. Someone like King Goona can peddle pornography to children and of children and influence them to hate a cut knob such as the appendage attached to Nathan. King Goona would go so far as to reprogram children and Nathan didn’t really want to know to what level that he did this and we can only leave it up to the imagination or the guilty to know… No mistakes except on a corrupt hard drive.
“The knob is going in…. Can you feel it? … Then the salmon … Then golden brown … and now the white skin to the pubic area,” was Nathans schtick for an anal fuck. And start thrusting gently.
Nathan spotted Jeremy as he was coming around the corner of the pub with his mother as he was going shopping. Sixteen years old and covered in acne, the youth had brown eyes and almost black hair. It was only a momentary meeting of eyes with no parting glances but then with Jeremy’s mother’s blessing Nathan and Jeremy were allowed to have sex on Red Planet. She was Italian and thought the experience would mature him as a Latin lover of men not that Nathan knew what it really meant to be a Latin lover. For the imagining, in Nathan’s case, to meet Jeremy in his mind’s eye, Jeremy like all the others had to describe his cock as Nathan didn’t have the power for them to do the reverse and for him to see them clearly, or they didn’t have the power. Jeremy’s cock was olive and reasonably long and he claimed it didn’t work. He said he had once had anal sex in the real world and when he pulled out his dick from his lover it was all covered in shit which had put him off ever doing it again. Once more it was a case of Jeremy loving foreskin – perfetto or the perfect foreskin usually with a pucker olive or white in colour, white the perfect one… L’ULtimo Squalo the Great White. A rare prize for some. As it turned out Jeremy like King Goona dealt in milk bottles as well which made him ‘bad M’ … Nathan fucked Jeremy’s arsehole as if he were losing his virginity to Nathan and there was a drop of blood on Nathan’s knob. Nathan took his finger and picked up a spot of blood and wiped it on Jeremy’s face upon a bloody squeezed pimple.
“Blood for blood,” said Nathan and then they kissed. Nathan got fucked back and so the pair lost their hymen’s on Red Planet in a kind of ideal way.
That’s four cigarettes,” said Nathan as he listened to King Goona blather on.
“I want you to admit you are a faggot.”
“It’s a nomenclature.”
“I want you to admit you are a homosexual.”
“Okay, I’m a homosexual.”
“That’s not what I mean… “
The conversation then went on to King Goona’s heterosexuality …
King Goona’s powers were great and Nathan had to quit having sex with people on Red Planet because his visions would be unknowingly influenced causing Nathan an inability to fuck women along with violent tendencies in Nathan’s characters … Other things happened like ‘loops’ where the character of Nathan would get stuck in a rut and do things over and over again wrecking love making scenes and his sometimes clever narratives. There would also be violent outbursts totally out of character for Nathan … until it became obvious King Goona and his friends were at the root of it. The question was what could Nathan do? Was there any solution? He could at least understand a little more about the reverberation of the voices which had begun as thoughts in his head… Another one of Nathan’s powers was that he could talk and another person could take top what he was talking about as if he were influencing his thoughts. Was it just coincidence or mind reading or some sort of intuition? On Red Planet people were left questioning as to what they really had said at times.
And then King Goona destroyed Nathan with a mighty blow. He used a computer to cut and paste rotoscoped images of Nathan and paste them on mock up pornographic imagery of people. It is said that Red Planet cannot be filmed, or can it? Certainly things can be broadcast into the mind through the use of a screen and someone with the ‘power’. Nathan never had sex with many of the images apparently used whether they were, eight or eighty. But he knew he must have looked revolting… Then using a vocoder or digital technology of that type King Goona created Nathan’s voice to say whatever he wanted. Anyway this is what a friend told Nathan. Don’t forget the thought voices from Nathan’s head which were programmed to change into other sampled voices. King Goona would often change Nathan’s voice in songs sung in Nathan’s head which he used as a defence mechanism from the barrage of Red Planet voices into something annoying for those in Nathan’s own dominion who happen to be listening. Modern day schizophrenia if it exists on a higher frequency.
Nathan was walking through the shopping centre when he thought he’d have a Wendy’s hot dog. It was then that after he sat down he could hear his own voice coming through his phone having gay sex with one of the teenagers…. He wasn’t feeling too good since King Goona had gone to all his conquests and shown them that they had sex not with a handsome boy of sixteen on Red Planet but something horribly old and overweight. Never mind the beautiful mind at least the cock still looked good until reprogramming by King Goona saw it the source of all evil on the face of the Earth. Every single person in the realm had been approached upon whom King Goona had spied on even going so far as his parents’ town. Nathan upon listening to all the feedback knew he had been stalked to DEATH. King Goona had won the day and Nathan drove back to his parents’ township for lasagne where he was grabbed off the streets for being a pervert and chopped up into chum somewhere out to sea and fed to a Great White just as the sun was about to set. L’Ultimo Squalo!! Not really, it was a heart attack at home in Elizabeth. Too many cigarettes. People thought it was suicide. If it was, it was a long and slow one.
The nights before he died Nathan heard the doctored recordings play over and over again as the voice of King Goona said: “Why don’t you kill yourself?” Over and over again. It began as a voice in the high frequencies until it became the very thought of Nathan over and over to his core and unable to be erased. He was dead. Remnant? Red Planet? Call it what you will but another fell victim silently to its ambiguity in the real world.
And the Children chorused: “All hail King Goona King of the Pedophiles.”
The police checked Nathan’s computer looking for a clue to his suicide or death and there was nothing on it except some articles and short stories. He left no note and was described as a despondent schizo-affective. He described himself to his mother before his death as ‘kaput’… and that he heard King Goona’s voice in his head telling him to kill himself.
“Who’s King Goona?” His mother asked “And why would he want to kill my son? We only ate lasagne the other night…”
