Finally, they began seeing more interesting booths and tables.Finally, they began seeing more interesting booths and tables. Tugging his arm, Flora pulled him over to one that he'd missed. The owner appeared to be selling sculpture, since the centerpiece of her display was a lifelike, ebony statue of a woman. Most of the other shoppers merely glanced at the statue and moved on. When Flora showed more interest, the woman got up from her stool and introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Lori," she said, offering a hand to Flora, while giving Jason the once-over-lightly. "Are you interested in a cocoon?" she asked. "Well, I..." faltered Flora, shooting a puzzled look at Jason. "You mean, waitaminute- that's not a statue?" Jason interrupted. "A cocoon, as I said. My lover is inside. Don't worry- she's fine, just immobilized rather thoroughly. Since each one is made from a mold of the person's body, it is a perfect custom fit... and quite snug." Jason took a closer look at the cocoon. It was jet black, and polished to a high gloss. Tall and sculpted realistically in the form of a thin yet attractive nude woman, the sculpture was possessed of an almost surreal beauty. She had slender almost boyish hips; small, rather pointed breasts, and long, muscular legs. |
