Virtual Jill
Darkness.....................pain........................the sound of ragged breathing...............her own.......................arms and legs tingling like thousands of tiny needles playing over her skin.............. slick sweat covering her skin.................. awareness slowly returning............ eyes opening......to darkness....or not quite darkness.......a gray screen before her eyes........the screen....what was it about the screen?
Memory.........fragments........slowly returning.... THE SCREEN!
Even as the thought crossed her mind, it lit up....a single word in glowing red
letters//

Followed immediately by another....

Desperately Jill tries to reach the keyboard........a hissing fills her ears....
her arms go numb...and her legs.....it all comes back....how it began....and her
mind spirals downward into terror....
The box was already waiting for her when Jill got home from work. A plain brown box about the size of a small suitcase. "Gee," she thought to herself, dragging it into the apartment. "Somebody will think I'm moving bodies of something." The BONK-O label was prominently displayed on the return address tag. No doubt about it. Her first on-line purchase had arrived.
Jill was impatient to open the box and inspect her purchase, but she made herself wait until she had showered and changed and was ready to tackle the project. A paring knife made short work of the tape and twine and the outer layers of shipping paper. Within a box was revealed, simply marked BONK-O VIRTUALITY SUIT.
The box was no barrier to her. Jill quickly popped open the pasteboard flaps and withdrew a heavy package of materials secured with layers of bubble wrap. She unwound the wrap and found the instruction manual. The virtuality suit required that she add an enclosed graphics card to her computer. "Well, crap," she said. "Now I gotta be a geek too." She located the couple of screwdrivers she needed, unplugged her PC, and spread out the instructions on the kitchen table. Soon she was busy with the installation of the card. It fit easily into an open slot in the motherboard, and connected to the sound and graphics card already in place. Finally she closed up the machine, plugged it in, and restarted it. Her system's startup routine quickly found, accepted, and initialized the card.
"OK. Let's see what the installation does." Jill dropped the startup CD into a drive and closed the drive door. The screen went blank briefly and then the install menu started, indicating that the software was downloading into her hard drive. While she was waiting for the installation to finish, Jill started opening the rest of the package, the suit itself.
The virtuality suit seemed to be in five pieces. There was a single piece body suit rather like a one piece bathing suit. Also included were four sleeves that appeared to be designed to fit around her upper arms and thighs. These were connected to the main suit by coaxial cables. A separate set of leads led from the suit and would plug into the connectors on the card she had installed. The suits and sleeves seemed oddly made. The outer fabric was like a stiff treated canvas. On the inside was a separate layer of some rubberlike material set in wide flat ribs about four inches wide. The arm and leg sleeves were made the same way. "How very odd," she thought.
Two more pieces completed the suit. One was a pair of goggles with ear buttons that plugged into her audio/video output. The other was a single right-handed glove. The glove connected to her mouse port and it was imbedded with circuitry.
Jill noted that the program had installed, and on the screen was a welcome
message and a menu:
welcome to bonko virtuality
please select one
user select
random
timed session
pre-programmed session
"OK," she thought to herself. "That part looks pretty good. Let's just have a look at the manual." The instruction book appeared to be simple. The suit was to be worn right against bare skin. It was full of sensors that reported her pulse, respiration, and temperature to the card. The goggles would show her the vr scenario, complete with sound. The glove would allow her to manipulate the controls that would appear on her virtual screen and set up and direct each session.
"All righty then," she said to herself. "Let's just try thins thing out."
Jill quickly stripped off her clothes and began to put on the suit. the one-piece fit from neck to hips. She slid her legs into the openings, then wriggled her arms into the stiff suit. A series of thick Velcro straps closed the suit together up one side. The suit material overlapped slightly and the straps allowed her to pull it snug. Next she stepped into the leg sleeves, pulling them up her thighs. The arm sleeves followed. She connected the sleeves to the suit with the leads and plugged the main lead from the suit into her computer.
"Seems OK so far."
She pulled the control glove onto her right hand, carefully adjusting the fingers. She flexed her fingers experimentally, and waved her hand at the screen, noticing the cursor tracking up and down in response to her motions. Finally Jill slid the goggles over her eyes, fitted the audio buds into her ears, and attached the leads to the ports in the suit.
The led screen in the goggles lit up, showing the startup menu.
She raised the glove and saw the choices light up in succession as her contact points passed over them.
She chose user select and pressed the control. A sub menu appeared.
adjust suit
select opponent
modify cycle
Jill chose adjust suit. Immediately the inner lining of the suit responded, slowly inflating until it perfectly matched her skin. "Hmmmmmm. That's interesting," she thought. "It tailors itself perfectly to the wearer." The suit was tight but not uncomfortable.
The menu reverted to the original selections, and she next chose select
opponent. Another menu appeared.
anaconda
boa constrictor
Burmese python
reticulate python
random selection
"Hmmmmmmm. That's pretty interesting." She activated the Burmese python option.
Now the menu read:
10-15 feet
15-20 feet
20-25 feet
over 25 feet
and another menu
light
medium
heavy
and another
bestial reactions
deliberate intent
calculating intelligence
"Verrry interesting!"
Jill cycled back to the main menu. She was about to examine the random selection options when she momentarily lost her balance. Jill stumbled. She made a grabbing motion with her right hand to catch her balance. Before her eyes preprogrammed session lit. A voice spoke through her earbuds. "Congratulations! You have chosen one of the Virtual Simulator's pre-programmed experiences, chosen at random from among the items already designed by Bonk-Ko. For the duration of your experience, the Bonk-Ko Virtual Suit will be in complete control. Enjoy your virtual experience!"
"Omigod! I gotta stop this this," Jill thought to herself. Even as the thought crossed her mind, she heard a soft hissing. The cuffs circling her arms were inflating. Before she could respond, they quickly became so tight that circulation to her arms and hands was gone. They fell uselessly to her sides. "NOOOOOO! Gotta get away from the computer."
The hissing began again. The thigh cuffs inflated, squeezing off the circulation
to her legs. She dropped helplessly into her chair, arms and legs useless. The
image in the goggles dimmed and changed. The suit began to play a scene of a
huge coil dropping before her eyes. It looked to be almost a foot thick. A loud
hissing filled her ears. The snake image seemed endless. Suddenly she felt
pressure around her stomach. The inner surface of the suit was slowly inflating.
imitating the pressure of a huge coil circling her body. Jill tried looking
down, and the goggles showed her the image of a thick coil slithering around her
body. Even as she watched, as second coil curled up over the first below her
breasts. The suit contracted perfectly simulating the weight of the snake's body
on hers. She began to sweat in the suit. A third coil passed over her breasts
and the pressure suddenly increased, squeezing them painfully.
"Owwwwwwwww! It hurrrrtssssss!"
The pressure continued to grow, steadily squeezing. Jill started to have trouble
drawing her breath. The suit captured the labored sounds of her breathing,
amplified them, and played them back to her. Her harsh gasps filled her ears.
"Uhhhhhhhnnnggggggg....... Noooooooooo"
The image of the snake was relentless. The coils kept squirming tighter and
tighter. The suit imitated the imagery perfectly.
"Hnnghhhhhh.....Squeezing soooo harrrdddddddd nowwww......Uhhhnnggggg"
Now another pressure passed over her hips, curling in a line along and between
her buttocks, tracing their curve, down through, and up. The inner ribs of the
suit inflated faithfully to imitate the action of the coil, pressing inward upon
her buttocks, expanding between her legs, pushing up and in over her lower
belly.
"Uh.....uhhhhhhnnnngggggggg....."
The expanding coil between her legs began an obscene rippling action, squeezing
in waves over her sex, squeezing and stimulating at the same time. The sensation
was irresistible. Her body squirmed and shuddered as the intensity of the
stimulation increased.
"HUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH......AGGGGHHHHHHHHH......NOOOOOOOOOOO......."
Wave after wave of sensation exploded through her body. She hardly noticed the
quickening contractions of the suit as it squeezed harder and harder. It was
only when she realized that she could not inhale that Jill fell from pleasure
into terror. She choked and gagged. Her tongue seemed to fill her whole mouth.
Her eyes seemed about to burst from their sockets, so great was the pressure.
The vision before her tortured eyes, the sliding and enveloping giant coils began to fade. Consciousness fled shrieking. Her body fell limp in the chair. With a series of soft hisses, the suit began to deflate. The cuffs deflated. Still unconscious, Jill drew a shuddering breath. The computer clicked...........
