    Invincible

     

    ——-

     

    And just like that, I open my eyes and mouth in a silent scream, gasping to discover that I’ve been lying with my head hanging upside down off the foot of my bed. I’m sweating profusely which may explain why I’m on top of my comforter instead of under it. I’m out of breath and panting, glad that it was just a weird nightmare, but something is amiss.

    “Open your eyes.”

    I quickly sit up to a woman’s voice coming from the side of my bed. I grab my head in reaction to the blood that had gathered at the top and was now quickly making its way back down to the rest of my limbs. I steady myself on the edge of the bed with closed eyes as my breathing returns to its normal pattern and my blood pressure decreases.

    “Open your eyes.”

    The familiar female whispers to me again. I look towards the nightstand and see a digital voice recorder has replaced my iPod on my alarm clock.

    “Beeeette.” The voice cajoles. “Open your ey-” I shut it off before she can finish her curt demand.

    I grab my TV remote next to the clock and like déjà vu, my morning routine begins again. But this time, I am wary of my surroundings.

    What started off as a recurring dream quickly devolved into an unsettling nightmare that still had my waking conscience reeling from its effects. But alas, here I am, still invincible. I can’t help but wonder what my therapist would say about it. Of course, she would just ask me what I thought the deserted city meant.

    I can only surmise that the empty street represents the loneliness in my life. I’m no shrink so it’s about as much as I can come up with. I’m about to turn 33. I’m successful, well-educated, and single, though I’ve never had any trouble in the ladies department. In fact, I’m quite lucrative when it comes to bedding beautiful women. I smirk at the thought, but a tremendous amount of financial wealth and good looks contribute to the cause.

    I run 3 magazines and a worldwide publishing house. It’s how I afford my trendy New York apartment and classic cars I love so much. My life is envied, wished for, and dreamed of by the average Joe Sixpack in America. Most days I actually fool myself into believing that it will last forever. Because that’s what being young is about, right? Secretly, yet naively, thinking that you will be the one person in the history of mankind who will live forever. Yes, my mortality is a myth. I’ve never believed in cautionary tales. Bad things happen to people who aren’t blessed with my wealth and privilege. I am, in a word, invincible.

    1. Enjoyed your story even tho i know nothing of vanilla sky.This epihany that BETTE finally has regarding her company and the warning from a trusted friend makes for an enjoyable read.TINA appears to be the alter ego of BETTE the uncanny ability to read her and is spot on in that drawing.BETTE has some life altering/style changes to make so let’s see what happens becuz for a one off you left a lot unanswered yet it was thought provoking in a good way.

      • Thanks for your comment, Dunn! Perhaps not having seen the film makes for a better read, although I know what you mean by all the unanswered questions. Even though this is a one-off, I have not completely ruled out possibly coming back to it in the future for a follow-up. There’s no plan to do that right now, but it is always an option. I appreciate you taking the time to read it and offering your feedback!

      • Perhaps I prefer my readers not to have seen the movie. It’s definitely a weird one. But I thought these scenes of a hopeful budding relationship worked with Bette and Tina in those roles. Glad you liked it!

    2. Not seen Vanilla Sky but don’t feel it detracted from finding this story fascinating. I really enjoyed the read and hope that you do consider it as a base for more as this budding relationship between my favourite couple certainly has potential.

      Thanks

      • Don’t think I’ve ever had anyone comment that my stories were ‘fascinating’ so thank you for the compliment Sassy! A follow-up isn’t completely off the table, but just not actively in the works at present. Appreciate you taking the time to read.

    3. Waittttttt! No way!!! I love Vanilla Sky and the older one Abre los ojos! What can I say I can’t resist a naked Penelope Cruz (>ω< )!!!

      It wasn't THAT weird to me tbh, I freakin cracked up and cried my eyes out when Penelope said to Tom "I'll see you in another life when we're both cats."

      Ahhh old movie, good times! Didn't think I'd see the gay version of the story. Nicely done!

      • Hahahaha! I suppose the best reason to watch those films would be a naked Penelope. She’s not really my cup of tea, I’m more of a Salma Hayek fan, but she was great in these films. Like I said, I have a love/hate relationship with it. Thanks for reading, hope I did the story justice since you seem to be the only one who has seen the movie so far.

        MEEEEOOOOOWWW!

    4. yeeeeeeeeessssss….. you know how long I have agonised about seeing this piece come up…. I miss you my friend. I feel we have resumed our game of tag… you posted… I posted too! guees it’s your turn again ;0) xx

    5. Brilliant, as always, Mell. I have missed your amazing storytelling. I hope you will give us more, if not this story, something else. Oh wait!! Don’t you have something else you’re working on? Like just a chapter or two left? OMG, you do…. Yay!!
      Look forward to whatever you write.

      ps
      Salma Hayek? Nice.

      • Yes, Salma Hayek. I can’t quite put my finger on it (but I can definitely put my finger in it :p), but I have a thing for slightly older women. Just something about them I can’t get enough of. And thank you for your very kind words, even though they aren’t very subtle. I’ll try to write something or two somethings when I can.

    6. GREAT!!! I know and a like Vanilla Sky (with Tom Cruz and Penelope Cruz) . Vanilla Sky is a Hollywood remake of another great movie – the spanish movie “Abre Los Ojos” (with Penelope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega) And I like so much your story , Invincible with Bette and Tina :))) THANK YOU!!!

    7. I loved this new version of Vanilla Sky,
      I saw the movie however vaguely lenbro
      some scenes, it would be interesting if you
      continue to write its version.
      All Stars.
