Short Story: The Binding of Billy


 "Get rid of your fuckin' shirt Billy!"

"Josh, are you going crazy or something?  Put away that gun!"

"No fuckin" way dude.  I've been waiting years to take revenge on you!"

"But why take my shirt?"

"Because you are going to be bound with ropes, hung up, and left to sweat for the bugs.  Now, drink this!"

"No way."

Josh fired a shot at Billy's feet.

"Drink this or I'll blow your knees off!"

Billy took the drink.  It took only a moment for him to drop to the dirt."

-----------------------------

Josh turned Billy around onto his back and pulled his arms together.  He crossed his wrists and tied them tightly with hemp rope.  Taking his crossed wrists he pulled them behing his head and tied them tight to his neck.  Each of his bent arms he bound, roping around his biceps and forearms.

He pulled of Billy's boots and socks and depantsed him, leaving him only in his undershorts.  Dropping a rope around a strong tree limb, he hoisted Billy up by his ankles.  Shoving his socks into his mouth, he tighly taped gagged him.



Billy hung knocked out.  His head was a few inched off the ground.  Josh opened the gallon of honey and dapped a paint brush in it.  He began painting his feet with the honey, the down his legs and thighs, swirling it into the hairs on his legs.

He worked the honey into his chest, back, arms and wrists, they took the bucket and put his head into it, covering his hair and head.

Then he sat back and took a nap.



---------------------------------------------------------


Billy's gagged screams woke up Josh.  He just sat there and smiled, taunting Billy as he desperately struggled to free himself.

It was dusk and getting dark.


Swarms of mosquitoes began to awake in the woods.


Josh aimed a bright light at Billy...


..started the camera, cracked a beer and watched him squirm, sweat honey, gag scream as the bugs began to devour the honey on him.
