Nightmare Stare [Chapter Ten]

I open my eyes.
I see my sheets.
I see the edge of my bed.
I see my wall.
I roll onto my back and see my ceiling.
I see the cobwebs in the corners swaying softly.
This is my room, my reality again.

I roll out of bed, still not completely sure if I'm home.
I check the master bathroom, its mine.
I pass the door to The Forest of Lost Souls, its just as decrepit as always.
I check my daughter's old room, still flooded with body parts.
I pass the bathroom, it still smells of formaldehyde.
I open the garage door, and see the angel, still just a head.

"Hey, Victor! Where've you been?" She asks as I walk up to her.
"In the forest." I say, acting as non-sealant as I can.
"Oh," She says. "so what's the plan for today?"
"I think we're going to give you a torso today." I say knodding my head a few times.
"Very cool." She says with a chuckle. "But before you do, would I be able to get something to eat? I'm kind of hungry."
"You have no stomach." I say coldly. She frowns.
"Then why do I feel hungry?" She asks.
"How am I supposed to know that?" I ask more as a statement.
"Well, you're building me and," She pauses, preparing for my reaction. "you're God."
"I'm not God." I say. "I'm just a guy."
"No, last time we talked you said you were God." She says, I grumble to myself. "I'm sure if you wanted that rat over there to turn into a cockroach, you could do it."
"I highly doubt I could..." I say, I walk over to the rat. "I doubt I could just wave my hand and it would turn-" As I waved my hand the rat turned into a cockroach. I look down, defeated, walking back to her.
"What's wrong?" She asks as I bend down and start sizing up the neck and shoulders.
"I just wish I knew what to do." I say.
"What do you want to do? I mean, you're God! You control everything." She says, then she pauses. "Ummm, Victor?"
"Yes?" I reply.
"Can I have a name?"
"Like what?" I ask not looking up.
"Something beautiful." She states, I can hear the plea in her voice. I sigh and lean back, sitting down. I sit there for a while, just thinking. I think about my ex-wife and daughter; Tiffany and Molly. I shake my head.
"I can't think of any." I lie.
"I don't believe you, just say them, I'll stop you when I find one I like." She smiles, I can't help but smile back.
"Okay, hmmmm." I say. "Molly?"
"Nah."
"Megan?"
"No, thanks."
"Elizabeth?"
"That's a horrible name."
"Arabella?"
"That's okay." She smiles, but I can't tell I still haven't found it.
"Abbigale?"
"Meh, its okay."
"Anabel?"
"That's pretty, but no."
"Ummmm, Audrey?"
"That's beautiful!" She screams, and smiles. "Hello, Victor. Its very nice to meet you, my name is Audrey."
"Hi, Audrey. How are you today?" I can't help but smile.
"Great! Now, let's finish this body of mine!"
"Okie, doke!" I say and move back to the torso.
"One more thing, Victor..." Audrey says.
"Hmmm?" I say, not looking up.
"Can I ummm, have big breasts?" She says, somewhat ashamed. "I just, uh, like the way they look." I chuckle to myself.
"Yes, Audrey. I can give you big breasts." I roll my eyes then stand up.
"Where are you going?" She asks.
"Going out." I say. "I have to find a new torso for you." I start to walk away, then turn back. I pause. gathering my thoughts. She looks at me with a slight smile. I want to warn her about the trees, and the spider heads, but I choke on my words. I turn back to the door. "Keep the light on for me, darling." I leave the garage.

Now, to find some D cups.
