Black Gloves and Blacker Stars - A Giallo Narrative of the King in Yellow

The narrator and his lover (the implied listener) have both read the notorious play The King in Yellow. It may have driven them both mad, but it also seems to have altered reality itself, in ways both subtle and jarring.

I write you this record of how our relationship has changed, both as a reminder of our original purity, and an acknowledgment of my own madness. Is it possible that our memories are correct, even though we know them to be false? Is it possible that today was not as it was yesterday? That such changes have been made as to negate our ability to find certain things uniquely nightmarish, but to instead accept them as normal and right even though we know they are not?

There were witnesses to what I did. When I dragged you against your will, crying, to the bench in the park and bent you over it, hitching your skirt up, I was completely out of control. I will admit this. My appreciation of your beauty, long in the shadows, seized my mind, and I will say I had no power to resist it, although this must be cold comfort after the bruising fuck I gave you in public.

No one tried to stop me. Some stopped and politely watched. Others pointed and laughed. A police officer walked past, and he gave me a polite nod and appreciative glance at your partially bare form. Your tears, previously able to drive me to do nothing other than comfort you, merely aroused me. I came inside you, simply because I wanted to, and because I could not fathom doing anything differently. It was a very natural, if savage, act. You came as well. Don’t deny it.
