The literary sites get very snotty about what you can write and what is prohibited making it impossible to be truly free and creative.  The commercial porn sites pander only to the wankers and that's ok, but I believe that this will also be the birth place of a new literature.  So your encouragement and contributions are needed.  If you do this you will be playing a part in supporting the Nifty archive.

The sky was gray and the dreary landscape looked abandoned.  There were some people here and there but they were tucked in or hidden out of sight so as not to call attention to themselves.  How the world got this way not important other than to say that the collapse resulting a domino effect that dragged everything with it.  It had all but ended the upward surge of civilization.  The chains that held things together had been broken into pieces.

"You know there is only a few things in life that really count, one is food, one is staying dry and plus, a few other things,"

Spoken by Raif.

MINIVAN APOCALYPSE

Part 5:  Family.

The room was black when Max and Newt both woke up to a scraping sound at the door.  Max searched around in the dark for the small pistol but couldn't find it.  Then they heard the door swing open.

"It's ok guys, it's me Raif."

Newt and Max still couldn't see him but they felt him moving around in the room.

"You should have told us before you came in, I might have shot you with your own gun but I couldn't find it!"

Then they saw light from a green crystalline bic lighter.  Raif lit a large white cylindrical candle. 

He laughed, "That the first lesson about havin' a gun, is knowin' where it's at.  If you can find it, you might as well not have it, but if you had, you might have shot me." 

Once the newly lit candle was positioned,  Raif lay on his mattress next to Max and Newt.

"What happened?"

Newt was just as curious, "Yeah, what happened?"

Raif said, "Nothing happened."

Max said, "Who were those guys you went with?"

He replied, "Take my word for it, you don't want to know.  They're from Vengeance, one of the warring clans and they run things around here.  At least from this town up to the interstate, but that could change overnight.  On the other side of the interstate, it's the River Clan.  They aren't at war right now but they use to be."

Raif produced an entire pack of cigarettes and a litre of Coke.  He lit a cigarette and passed it to Newt.

"They got everything over there, food, electricity, clothes, girls, just about anything you could ever want."

Max said, "Where's there?"

"The Vengeance Clan moved into the Mall and took it over and made it into a fortress. They surrounded the Mall buildings with a circle of wrecked cars three deep.  There are snipers and guards so don't go anywhere near it or they'll pick you off just for fun."

Newt asked, "Who were those guys?"

Raif acted like maybe he shouldn't say. "I've known them for awhile.  They wanted me so I went with 'em."

He started taking more stuff out of his bag.  "Take a look at this."

Raif proudly held up a small can of tuna.  "We'll save this for something special."

He pulled out half a dozen cigarettes and gave them to Newt who greedily took them.

Raif said, "I got two more packs."

Max said, "Are they like, the rulers of the Vengeance Clan?"

Raif laughed, "Fuck no, they are just a couple a fuckin soldiers and when they are inside they do what they are told.  On the outside, they are motherfuckers.  If they had any real influence, they would have girls instead of me."

Max asked, "So what happened?"

Raif looked a little annoyed that Max hadn't put two and two together.

"Look, we gotta eat don't we?   So I sold myself to them!"

Both boys were silently looking at Raif.

He answered again, "They took turns fucking me!  And if you must know, it wasn't pretty."

Raif continued organizing his loot until,  suddenly,  he seemed to lose interest.  He stopped for a moment not moving or speaking and then quietly lay down on his mattress with his back to the two boys.  He was isolating himself not from his two new friends, but from the world.

It was Max that acted first.  He crawled onto Raif's mattress and embraced from behind sealing in the warmth of their two bodies.  He was followed by Newt, who on hands and knees, wormed his way between Raif's skinny arms and legs and lay in cuddled contentment. 

They had become one.

When the light crept into the gauzed window, all three boys slowly became awake.  Each of them knew the other was awake and they encircled each other in a warm erotic knot.  Raif facing the little Newt, held him by his back and then kissed him deeply.  Newt was startled because neither his previous owner, or Max had ever kissed him in this way.  Newt looked up at Raif and then continued with the luxurious kiss.  

Raif turned his head towards Max and said, "Max, if you want to fuck me, it's ok, you can do it."

Max included himself by looking over Raif's shoulder at Newt.  Raif turned towards Max and defying his resistance, kissed him deeply as he had just done with Newt.  Newt watched them and then intruded by kissing Max for the first time.

Max said to Raif, "You want me to?"

Raif said in a strange hollow voice, "Yeah, I do."

It was a beautiful entangling  between three boys.  Raif embracing Newt, Max embracing and preparing to penetrate Raif.  And in a strange contradiction Raif was bringing Max and Newt closer together. It went on slowly and sweetly for hours with one the center of attention and then the other in turn.  It reached completion with Newt cuming last having been also been the first.  It cemented the three into one.  They had become a family.

Once it became light in the small room the three boys still naked, tended to each other.  Raif had a hidden and somewhat feminine nature that Max and Newt took to as a nurturing.   This was something that was absent from their world.  Even though they had been cast together by complete accident there seemed to be purpose in coming together and all silently agreed. 

Raif sat behind Newt and taking a pair of rusty scissors, began to even up the small boy's chaotic hair.

He spoke while he did it.  "I worry about my sister Fran more than anyone else. I have no idea where she is."

He looked towards Max and said, "She'll be your age by now.  I even dream about her and then wake up scared about if she's okay."

He looked down at Newt and then back at Max. "You know you don't hardly see no girls or women out there because they all get all owned, all except the old, the ugly and the sick or the dead.  Guys lock em up behind closed doors like property.  A lot of guys aren't satisfied with one so they collect them to trade or sell or to have if they get tired of the one they got.  They work them like slaves.  I heard someone say that they don't have rights, but what the fuck are rights?  If you asked me to describe what is rights, I wouldn't know how."

It be nice to have a girl with us but we'd get to like he and make her part of us and then some gang or clan would steal her away and maybe kill us gettin at her.

Newt sat up, "Someone tried to steal me once, right Max?"

He went on."I saw a lot of girls at the Vengeance fort when I was there and I kept looking for my sister but I didn't see her."

The three shared Newt's small can of fruit cocktail.
