WOLVERHAMPTON

Toby awoke with a raging hard-on, partly because he needed to piss and partly because he was angry. The raging was not just an erotic cliché. He had arranged, too hastily and too messily, a date that evening and had been disappointed. The other man, Dean, had been an exciting proposition: not yet thirty, athletic, sporty, and living in a prestigious apartment block in the centre of town. What’s more, as far as Toby could recall, Dean had instigated the whole affair, chasing after him. Now, when it came to it, Dean returned to the fold of anonymity and remained silent, reading Toby’s messages but not responding to them. Up until then, the messages from Dean had been all about what fun the two of them were going to have and how Toby, dressed in a suit and tie, would be slowly undressing the willing younger man, seducing him and taking him to bed. There was to have been a lot of kissing.

Toby rose from his bed, went for a piss and then came back to wank away his frustrations. He imagined a room full of men, all of them Dean’s age or younger, all of them tied up and trussed like turkeys, all of them moaning in anticipation at what was to happen to them.

Toby was channelling Ted Bundy when he said out loud to the quivering, shivering bundles on the floor, “I’m going to fuck each one of you while the rest of you watch and wait your turn.”

Some of the men were visibly turned on by this threat; others were not yet ready to submit and struggled angrily, but ineffectively, to release themselves from their bonds. Toby walked among them, trying to find the one who was the most resistant to his plans. They had all signed up for this, after all. None of them had been snatched from the street. Toby wished that they had been, that it would have been even more arousing for him. He hated these submissive men with a vengeance for bringing him to the point of murder somewhere in the dark recesses of his mind.

At this point, God intervened, anxious to find out the core of the raging within Toby’s mind. As Toby lay face down upon his bed, his cock digging angrily into the sheets, God hovered above him and entered him from behind. Toby raised his head and groaned gratefully at this intrusion, half expecting it.

“Thank you, Lord,” muttered Toby.

In Toby’s mind, all God could hear was the word, “Annihilation,” as Toby dug deeper into the sheets. Whether this was an annihilation of the men or of himself was as yet unsure. It made little difference. Toby was obviously struggling to come to terms with his new-found angelhood and was fighting, desperately, his own battle with eternity. Toby had been an angel for barely a week and was finding it a very lonely burden. He was thankful that God had noticed and had come back to minister unto him.

The presence of God had softened Toby’s angry cock and within a few minutes he had once again fallen to sleep. Two hours later he woke again, in identical circumstances. This time however, realising the futility of an angry wank, Toby went back to the bathroom, took a piss in the sink and then vigorously wanked off into it, spraying his seed across the white basin before running the warm water tap and cleaning himself. This time he was aware less of anger than of curiosity, as he watched through half closed eyes his own reflection on the mirror above the sink. He saw his own pale face in the throes of ecstasy in those precious moments before he came.

At the instant of ejaculation, however, his eyes closed involuntarily and he never saw his own expression as what was left of his rage and desperation died away.

God was waiting for him in his bed. Toby climbed in and snuggled up to him, but then started shivering uncontrollably, his whole body wracked by nervous tremors. The two of them turned over and God held Toby in his arms for a while, until the shaking subsided and both of them drifted off into sleep.

“The self authors that which exists,” explained God, repeating word for word a phrase that Toby had also recently heard from his own god son, Steve.

“So I authored Dean? Is that what you’re saying?” asked Toby, unconvinced.

“Very much so,” said God. “After all, he is one of your fantasy men, isn’t he?”

Toby had quite a few of these, as God was well aware. They were all under forty, all handsome, all far too young for him. It was a recipe for erotic disaster.

“Then why did he let me down?” asked Toby, unsure where this conversation was heading.

“He didn’t,” said God. “You let yourself down. You deliberately sabotaged the whole thing from the beginning. Your own mind is playing out its various scenarios to show you the reality of the world.”

Toby frowned and scratched himself.

“That means I’ve authored you too,” said Toby.

“Everyone!” said God. “There isn’t a soul alive that isn’t the product of your mind.”

They both went silent.

Toby felt an immense jolt to his groin, a deep sexual pang, an overwhelming desire for connection with anything, with anyone, however grotesque. He wanted a thick juicy cock to feast on, to take his mind off this unexpected conundrum. God had only a very small penis. At least, today it was small. Sometimes it was too big to even get one’s hands around. Toby dreamt of the biggest penis he could imagine and drooled over it for a while.

As he walked across the beach, there in the distance was a naked man, exposed for all the world to see, his erection visible from hundreds of yards away, a proper force of nature. It was a nudist beach and there were others in the distance, men and women, but this man was proudly flaunting his manhood. It deserved that attention; it was magnificent, especially the way it curved upwards. It was saying to the world, “You lot can fuck right off!”

“You’re thinking of Jonny,” said God, stating the obvious. “What is it about him?”

“He’s a rebel,” answered Toby, not needing to think. “He could do anything to me and I wouldn’t mind.”

“What if he just used you and threw you aside?” asked God.

“I’d cope,” said Toby. “That’s his nature. He’d do it kindly, anyway. He’d take me into a cave, push me against the wall, kiss me, turn me around, and fuck me.” Both of them smiled. “I’d come out of there quite grazed, I think.”

God laughed. Then he started to giggle uncontrollably.

“Grazed!” he said. Toby laughed too. They both found words funny.

After they had calmed down, Toby grew serious again.

“Yes,” he said, “It’s funny, but I’ve just realised that there are certain men who could never hurt me, whatever they did to me.” It would be like blaming a storm for getting you wet or a fire for burning you. Some men were elementally out of range. Toby began to think of one or two more men, whom he was especially fond of, but with whom the sexual connection was so strong that it made everything else around it inconsequential.

“I think the sex with Dean would have been terrible,” said Toby, realising the truth of something but not quite yet able to articulate it.

God, naturally, could articulate it, but held back.

“It would have been about more than the sex,” he said, slowly seeing it, “And that’s wrong somehow.” Once again, the desire to be obliterated by a hard, throbbing, insistent cock came over Toby and he leaned back into the pillow, grunting softly. “Sex shouldn’t be a performance,” he said, and his hand went down to his own stiffening member.

“Go on, enjoy yourself,” said God. “That’s what it’s for.”

This time, Toby’s sexual fantasy was less aggressive. He thought back a few days to an assignation he had made with an older married man. They had sat together in the carpark of a local pub and got to know one another. After chatting amiably for about twenty minutes, they tentatively explored each other’s bodies, the man eventually getting his hand inside Toby’s trousers. As Toby’s cock stiffened and grew the other man became more daring, exposing it through the trouser flies and leaning in to taste it. Toby sat back in the seat of the car, a sexual wave washing over him, happy to surrender to this friendly stranger. They had established a safe, familiar bond and now they were ready to go further. In his memory, the face of the other man was blurry, but Toby was keen to see him again, and he could remember what it felt like to stroke the man on the back of his head and neck. Earlier, they had been for a short walk, nothing sexual about it, finding out about each other’s histories, the stories that had led them to this point. Now, in the car, the other man was rubbing Toby’s cock and licking off the copious amounts of precum that oozed from it. It was an action neither wholly human nor wholly animalistic, instead an intermingling of two worlds that had been kept separate for far too long. Now Toby wanted to have the whole of that man in bed with him, naked, both men abandoned to their need for communion.

“You should have made that clearer at the beginning,” said Toby to God, picking up on God’s last statement. “We seem to have made it all about reproduction.” Toby’s cock was about to spurt forth its juice. He lay back and let it happen, sighing with satisfaction.

“Reproduction!” spluttered God, “That’s the last thing it was designed for.”

Now God was feeling horny too and snuggled in closer to the warm body of Toby. He gently rubbed himself against Toby’s back as Toby turned to face the wall.

“Well, that should have been made clearer,” said Toby, reinforcing his point. “That’s all I’m saying.”

“Fine in hindsight,” said God, about to reinforce his point, his own small but very stiff member a physical example of it. “But I didn’t write the damned things, did I?” He was referring to the scriptures.

Now God was getting angry, and it transferred everything to his cock, which had a life of its own, digging into the soft willing skin of his bed partner.

“Fuck! Yes!” groaned God, and he shot a long sticky thread across the eager little body next to him. Toby turned and they kissed one another.

“Well, next time, do it better, that’s all,” said Toby.

They snuggled down and slept some more.

WOLVERHAMPTON

“I hope we didn’t disturb you,” said Toby to his husband, entering the room with a breakfast tray. “You know what he’s like!”

Toby’s husband didn’t mind. He was used to hearing all sorts of strange noises from the other bedroom. Occasionally, God popped in to say hello to him too, but usually it was just a flying visit, as it was this morning, apparently. God appeared when Toby had things on his mind that couldn’t be dealt with in any other way.

Probably, the whole drama in Toby’s psyche was more about what was to happen in a couple of days time than about what had just happened - or not happened - last night. Toby’s husband was unaware of both events, kept in the dark as usual. He knew neither about the thwarted date with Dean nor about the anticipated date with Connor in two days’ time. Connor was another angel, like Toby, and angels were not meant to mess one another about. But Toby was nervous and that very nervousness had made him plan dates with other men, just to avoid the pain of the real problem, which was about having to meet an angel. Toby was already half in love with Connor and didn’t know how much it would take for him to fall completely. His husband was blissfully ignorant of any of this.

Husband or wife, it didn’t make any difference. Toby preferred and felt comfortable in the company of men, but he could easily be sharing his life with a woman. His new friend from the carpark was doing just that. Many of his other male friends, those whom he slept or had sex with, were also doing that, married with children most of them.

Toby, of course, knew perfectly well that God was a figment of his own imagination. This much was clear from the varying sizes of God's private parts as from anything else. Depending upon Toby's mood and fancy, God could be a caring all-embracing deity (smaller penis) or just a little bit vengeful (massive and painful to receive).

What Toby was having greater difficulty with was the prospect that all of the men he was attempting to sleep with or have sex with standing up - he wasn't fussy - were also the products of his own imagination, designed to provide lessons for him on his path into being a living, breathing, fully-functioning angel.

Dean and Connor, chiefly, were the ones currently giving him the most grief. Which meant, from his own reckoning, that he had brought them into focus primarily to punish himself. This required some serious thinking about. Probably his god son, Steve, was the best bet for such a conversation about it.

"Why is pain the essence of image?" Steve had asked him. Toby had got so far into it himself and was trying to get things clear.

"It is the image I have of these men that hurts me every time," explained Toby. "So the image, as well as causing pain, must be born of it."

They looked at it together and realised that human beings were the only creatures in the universe that said, “I exist,” to both themselves and to others. Flowers didn’t do that, nor cats and dogs. Cats and dogs were just there. They existed. They adjusted and adapted to their environment. But they didn’t claim special status.

“Connor represents to me an ideal sort of man,” Toby explained, “But that ideal is based on a reaction to my own loneliness.”

“Why is he so ideal?” probed Steve.

Toby wrinkled his face, stopping to think before he spoke. They were having their conversation at a distance, over text messages, so there was plenty of time to stop and think before replying.

“I thought you’d already slept with Connor,” said Steve, before Toby had a chance to reply. “How did that go?”

Toby now could happily spend the next half-an-hour resurrecting the episode when God had invited three angels round to his house. Connor had leapt on Toby, like a dog let off the leash, and, like a dog, slobbered all over him and overwhelmed him with his brute animal power. It was an act of pure sex. Therefore, it was now very difficult for Toby to resurrect the act in his memory. When sex is like that, one just doesn’t remember it. All Toby could be sure of was that the two of them went at each other for a good half-an-hour before coming up for breath and allowing the other two admittance to their world. Toby was left only with the impression of a lovely long body, with different smells in all the right places, and a face made for kissing.

“It went too well,” admitted Toby. “That is why I am so nervous about seeing him on my own on Wednesday. I know that I am going to fuck it up.”

“That’s another image,” said Steve.

“Then how shall I meet him otherwise?” questioned Toby, knowing that this was now getting to the core of the issue.

“As an angel,” said Steve. “As what you are, which is nothing but an angel.”

Toby wanted to scream back at his god son, but repressed the urge.

“But what’s my message?” he wanted to shout. “An angel is a messenger. What is my message?”

God had already explained all this to Toby. He had gone over it thoroughly. He had made it extremely clear what the message was and also why he, Toby, had been chosen to deliver it. What was totally unclear, in Toby’s mind, was the manner of the delivery. Toby wanted to use his cock and balls when it came to someone like Connor. God wasn’t bothered. As long as the message got through, that was all that mattered. And God had explained this part of the puzzle too. But now, left alone, Toby was starting to become shaky and doubtful.

His mind went back to that room of young men, tied up and at his mercy, his victims. He let out a long sigh and felt the muscles around the top of his legs tighten. He squeezed in his sphincter muscle at the same time, which heightened the sense of excitement. Was Connor also his victim? Was this the game he was playing, unconsciously, darkly? At thirty-five years old, Connor was exactly half Toby’s age.

God crept up and placed his hands on Toby’s shoulders, pressing down hard into the tenseness he found there. For five minutes he kneaded the muscles around the head and neck. Toby relaxed into it, knowing that sometimes, when God returned for real, it was best to keep quiet. He felt the breath of heaven on the back of his neck and could smell eternity in his nostrils. God’s arms entwined him and held him close, reassuring, comforting. Where there had been tension and anger in his groin there was now only a tremendous sense of warmth and yearning. It was not the usual yearning for completion with which Toby was so familiar. It was instead a yearning that was itself already complete, that had its own life and energy completely separate from that of Toby. This was the message, inexpressible, simple, unique, everlasting. The wave of orgasm passed through his entire body.

Chapter Two

The next morning he awoke feeling completely free and completely lost. They were not two different states of mind, but complementary. The one determined the other. As he pulled back the covers from his bed, he noticed a resistance that hadn’t been there the night before, a heaviness, and a smell he didn’t recognise, of stale sheets and smoke. His eyes adjusted to the dimness of the room and he was shocked to find himself in a strange bed. He sat up and peered all around, trying to find something familiar, anything to jog his memory, a clue to his location. A car revved its engine loudly in the street outside, waking the neighbourhood with the selfish assertions of its owner. He threw back the covers of the bed, stepped over to the window and looked outside. He recognised the street. His car had gone past those railings opposite only three nights ago. He was inside Connor’s house.

Cautiously, he crept to the doorway and opened it, stepping into the small narrow hallway outside. There were three other doors, all closed, and a stairway leading down into darkness. He was naked, but not cold. The room was warm, though as he moved into the hallway he felt vulnerable. In the bedroom there had been no sign of his own clothes, only a pile of unfamiliar things that must belong to Connor, a pair of jeans, a black T-shirt, socks and pants.

One of the other doors was slightly ajar and he pushed it carefully. It led into the bathroom, though there was no bath, only a shower, with a sink and toilet to one side. He pulled the light cord and closed the door behind him. He had no memory of any of this house, never having stepped foot inside. He had driven past only as a way of gaining more information about Connor before his planned visit on Wednesday. The street was quite neat and modern, the houses all newly built, just over a year old probably.

He urinated into the toilet and wiped himself with a tissue, wondering whether or not to flush the toilet, whom it might alert as to his presence. Where was Connor? What had happened to him? Had they had sex? Had they even met? He had no memory of anything. The thought passed through his mind that maybe he had killed Connor and that his body was lying somewhere in another room of the house, possibly downstairs. He let the thought pass through his mind without any reaction, neither fear nor shock nor anxiety. It was just a thought. But where was Connor? Alive or dead he must be somewhere.

And then he found out. As he moved across to the wash basin and looked up into the mirror, there he was, Connor. He was Connor. He hadn’t noticed before because their body shapes were fairly similar, but their faces were unmistakably different. Again, no fear or shock or anxiety came to him. This was what was happening now. This was who he was. He touched his own body, felt the young skin against his fingers, the skin of a thirty-five year old man. His hands were smoother and paler than they had been for years. His hair was darker, almost black. His face was longer, leaner, hungrier looking than his other Toby face. He opened his mouth and looked at his teeth, whiter than they had been for decades, no gaps, no fillings. Connor had cared for his teeth, even though as a smoker his mouth had been abused.

Still naked, he stood back from the mirror to gain a better picture of his whole body. It was the same picture that had attracted him on the website they shared, where they had met and communicated. He touched himself on the stomach and allowed his hands to wander down into the fold of his groin. He knew now that he was alone in the house. He stroked himself and enjoyed the sensation of the slowly rising member in his hands.

Back in the bedroom, with the light coming through from the window, he lay on the bed and continued to enjoy the sensations of the new body he had been given. He stroked himself along the side of his legs and chest, luxuriating in every tiny frisson of touch. Reaching over to the pile of discarded clothes, he took Connor’s socks, drawing them to his nose, inhaling the day-old scent of sweat. His cock hardened considerably at this, delighted at the opportunity to play like this, for the first time. Then he took the pants and did the same thing, overcome with pleasure at what he found as he sniffed deeply into the soft cotton. It was like taking a snort of pop pers, he thought, so powerful was the rush of sheer sexual suffusion.

A phone at the side of the bed buzzed with an incoming message. He reached over and picked it up, his other hand caressing his firm cock. He was looking forward to the experience of orgasm from the younger body, expecting a marvellous display.

The message was from Toby.

Were they still on for the meeting later that morning? Toby was due at eleven o’clock.

Connor looked again at the phone. It was now half past eight. He put back the phone and lay back on the pillow looking up at the ceiling. In his mind he found he had new memories. When he thought of work, for example, an office block appeared within which he seemed to know every room, including the space designated to him. He froze for a minute, taking it in, his breathing halted. He tried again with the word 'family' and he found faces to which he could put names and associations, even a few feelings creeping in. He gasped for air as his breathing resumed.

He again picked up the phone and scrolled through until he found the page where he'd been messaging Toby. There among the texts were one or two photos. He looked at the face picture and knew that Toby was who he had been up until the moment he woke up this morning. But nothing at all now came back to him of Toby's past life, not a jot of it. Connor stared at the photo of the older man, recognised its sexiness, but everything else had faded.

It was ten to nine. Connor sent a message back to Toby, providing him with his full address details, saying that he was looking forward to seeing him at eleven o'clock.

Although Toby had driven up and down the street a few days ago, he had no idea which house was really Connor's as they all looked the same.

Connor got up off the bed, found a few clean clothes and went downstairs to find some kind of breakfast. There were enough items in the kitchen cupboards and fridge for him to put together something acceptable - bread, butter, jam, with instant coffee and milk - but he didn’t really know what he liked. His mouth felt strange, bitter, probably as a result of last night’s final cigarette, which he assumed he must have had before bedtime as there was a discarded cigarette end in an ashtray by his bed. By now, he was much more aware of the body he now carried with him. He could tell it was slightly taller than before and much slimmer. His fingers were longer, thinner, and he kept running them over his head to get familiar with the contours of his face as well as the feel of the thicker, rougher hair. Whatever he was now, he knew that he was neither Connor nor Toby. It was a rebirth. And was the body of Toby undergoing the same sort of process? This is why he had responded to the text and invited Toby over. Neither of them were going to be what they had been the day before.

At this realisation, a pang of sexual desire shot through him, undirected, vague, but powerful. It went straight to the centre of him, both physically and psychologically, and he almost doubled up with the intensity of it. He had an image of two men pulled together as two magnets are pulled together, unable to resist, and then, turned about, unable to connect, separated by an invisible gap, however desperately they tried to reach one another. Except that now the gap had been obliterated. The two bodies had not only connected, but had in some way interchanged at a fundamental level.

He found a half opened packet of cigarettes sitting at the side of the sink, crumpled the packet and threw it into the bin. There was a small mirror on the wall by the kitchen door. Connor walked over to it and looked again at his own face. His eyes were brown, deep, intense. His whole face was longer than before, thinner, leaner. His features, generally, were attractive. He again opened his mouth wide and looked inside. Yes, the teeth were good, much better than his older teeth, solid, white, larger too, to fit the rest of his new face, his bottom set much more prominent than before. The consciousness that was Toby still existed within his head, but only in a dreamy way, with very few definite features. He knew only that he was not who he thought he was. It was a mind in limbo.

The sex, when they came to it, was hot and passionate. First, they talked, and Connor found himself involuntarily providing a lot of details about himself, his family, his friends, his job and his home life. The information was all there, sitting in his mind. He had been in the flat for just a few months and was still in the process of decorating it. Previously, he had been living and working up north, in Liverpool, renting a large duplex apartment. This place felt tiny in comparison, he told Toby, but it was extremely convenient for the town, which was a ten minute walk away. Once he’d got his rooms sorted with proper office space - he worked from home - then he’d be fine, settled. He told Toby that his reticence at meeting new people was very much to do with a relationship that had turned sour, though, as he discussed this, remembering some of the details, the sourness wouldn’t come through as a feeling. It was just a memory of what happened, with no strong emotions attached.

Toby had known that Connor was nervous about meeting again. Indeed, Toby himself was nervous too. Their last encounter had been more of a dream than anything else, arranged as it was by outside influences. This time there were just the two of them, the older and the younger man, separated by a gap of thirty-five years.

“So, the sex,” said Toby, “What do you think?”

They were sitting side by side on the sofa. In answer to the question, Connor nodded, reached over and pulled Toby towards him, kissing him full on the lips. They remained kissing like that for the next few minutes, deep kisses, full-throated. Parting a little, they maintained eye contact and conveyed to one another their intense desire for one another. Connor pulled Toby on top of him, and the older man pressed down on the firm, eager body, putting his arms around Connor’s tight, slim waist.

A few minutes later they were both naked, except for their socks. The room was bright with a view of trees from the window. The curtains were wide open because they were not overlooked. Toby was sitting on Connor’s lap. Connor was lying back against the sofa, his hips moving up and down, deep inside Toby. It wouldn’t be long before he came.

Hot, passionate and brief, but satisfying for both men. Perhaps twenty minutes had passed between their first kiss and their final redressing, prior to Toby’s departure. It was both the end and the beginning of something for each of them.

With Connor’s seed inside him, Toby now felt somehow completed. On the drive home, he tried to rationalise this feeling, but gave up halfway. It was impossible to rationalise. The two men had used each other to escape briefly into another dimension of existence. That was all. That was their sex.

WOLVERHAMPTON

The following morning, Toby again woke up in a strange bed. It was a much smaller room, rectangular and cell-like. There was a curtained window behind him with sunlight bursting through the gaps at the side. The bed was large and nearly filled the room, with just enough space on the left hand side for a tiny table on which there was a small lamp, a clock and a phone. The room was extremely scruffy, the bedsheets dirty and at the foot of the bed a chair was piled high with clothes. In a cupboard behind the chair, clothes were hanging down, crammed into a small built-in wardrobe space.

Toby pushed the dark blue pillow behind his back and sat up. He looked around for clues as to the personality of the regular inhabitant of this room. Apart from the general atmosphere of untidiness there was very little to go on, though he noticed another table, in front of the wardrobe which had upon it a collection of deodorants and colognes. A rack of shoes stood by the doorway, with about six pairs of shoes, all in very worn condition. A thin and not very savoury duvet covered him.

Again, he was naked. This time, however, he noticed that his socks were in place, one short and one long. He shifted his body over to the side of the bed and made his way into the narrow corridor outside. The bathroom door was open, with a view of the sink and toilet. Above the sink, the mirror. And in the mirror, another face, another man, someone in his forties, dark, swarthy, bearded, with strong black eyebrows and dark brown eyes.

Toby returned to the bedroom and sat and waited, his heart beating much faster this time than the time the other day when he had experienced his own transformation into Connor. This was unexpected, though he vaguely recognised the man and guessed who it was and where in town he was located. He turned and pulled back the curtain, looking out on to a walled carpark, with trees behind the wall. He was in no mood to eat and decided to remain where he was until the inevitable happened.

Sure enough, there on the phone was the message from Toby, arranging to visit at twelve o’clock. It was now ten thirty. He felt rested and assumed the man had been working a late shift the night before. His message to Toby had said that he was available only until half past one. The phone also gave the name of the man who was now sitting on the bed. It was Vincent. He was Vincent. This time though, Vincent was not inclined to play with himself. He sat for a while and then went for a shower. He found enough clothes to make himself presentable and made sure his body was clean and fresh all over, with a liberal application of cologne. Vincent knew that Toby would be polite and would find him adequately attractive. He also knew that Toby would overlook the shabby nature of the flat and the untidy state of the bed on which they would later be having sex.

Vincent stood a few inches higher than Toby, which for Toby was always a turn-on. They were no sooner in the flat than Vincent was leading the way to the bedroom. Vincent stood at the foot of the bed, waiting. Toby shook his hand. There were very few words spoken. Vincent seemed to understand what Toby was saying and asking, but his responses were short and blunt, and not always intelligible. He stood there waiting for Toby to initiate something. Toby walked up to him and held him in his arms. Vincent leaned forward and kissed Toby on the lips. Because of the height difference, Toby had to stand on tip-toe, but he remained in that position for a while until it became too uncomfortable. Toby sat on the bed and pulled Vincent towards him, burying his head in the man’s cotton T-shirt. Vincent removed his top, displaying a dark, hairy chest. Toby again buried his head in the warm soft belly. It felt good against his face.

The two men then together removed all their remaining clothes, except their socks, and Toby kept on his pants. Vincent lay back on the bed and Toby climbed beside him. Although they spent the next hour together on the bed, it would be difficult to describe what passed between them as sex. Even though Toby played around with all of Vincent’s sexual organs, there was less response from Vincent than when Toby just rubbed him gently across the nipples with his hand. This was what Vincent indicated he wanted by holding Toby’s hand in his own and mimicking the action. For most of the hour, Vincent just lay there, though he would move to any position that Toby suggested without resistance, even at one point lifting his legs into the air so that Toby could get access to his backside. Toby enjoyed the feel and the smell of the other man, but there was no passion and there was no sense at all of threat or danger, which sometimes Toby found to be the most exciting element in his love-making. At one point, as they snuggled together, warmly and cosily entwined, Vincent began to snore. It was difficult for Toby to know whether this was because the other man was bored or super relaxed. He didn’t know whether to take it as an insult or a compliment. Having the choice, he took it for a compliment.

“I thought it was all a dream,” said Toby, explaining to God his feelings about what had recently been happening to him. It was the day after he had met Vincent and the smell of the other man’s after-shave was still somehow on his fingers.

“But you know it isn’t a dream,” said God.

Toby sighed. His remembrance of the two recent events involving Connor and Vincent respectively was getting vaguer with each passing day.

“Did I morph into them for a few hours then?” questioned Toby, wanting to get some grip on the logic of what to him were highly illogical events.

It appeared that on each afternoon, after leaving the homes of both Connor and Vincent, Toby had had the same intense memory of having woken on those mornings in the bodies of the two different men. It had happened twice now on the car journey home.

“It’ll happen now every time you make a date,” said God, not really adding much clarity to the affair. “First there’ll be the experience of the new body, and, then, later, the memory of that experience.”

Toby realised that he had already lined up two or three possible dates for next week. He now felt a little embarrassed about it, not sure that he should tell God of the plans for his love life.

“Kevin, Stuart and Freddie, aren’t they?” said God, getting in first with their names.

Toby gulped. It was his own internal version of a double-take.

“They’re not really new dates, you know…” Toby tailed off, realising that he was wasting his breath.

God smiled and chucked Toby under the chin.

“Alright,” said Toby, “Why? Tell me why.”

“To protect both of you, that’s why,” explained God. “Primarily, to protect you though.”

The kettle clicked off to indicate that the water had reached boiling temperature. Toby made himself a cup of instant coffee and poured the boiling water over a teabag for God, who liked it strong with a dash of milk.

“But I can’t get my head round it!” moaned Toby, still in need of a more satisfying explanation.

“It’s your own fault!” said God, not angrily, but sternly. “You have these beliefs that we are all one, don’t you?”

Toby nodded, a little shamefaced.

“Well, then, why complain when the evidence comes along?” God picked up his tea and took a sip. “Ah! Heaven!” he murmured to himself.

Toby was still not happy. He was anticipating what might now happen to him over the course of the following week.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake, just have some fun with it,” spluttered God.

Chapter Three: The Menace

Stuart was the first to respond to Toby’s messages. He was an attractive lad in his late thirties, slightly shorter than Toby, a bottom guy at heart, slightly chubby, but very sexy. They had originally planned to meet about two months earlier, but first Toby and then Stuart had been ill with mild flu-like symptoms. Now, both recovered, they were keen to finally get into one another’s arms next Friday.

Kevin and Freddie had as yet sent no reply to Toby’s messages. In the meantime, Toby had arranged an extra date with a new man called Daniel, which would mean a forty minute car drive on Wednesday. There was also a half-hearted arrangement with a submissive south asian lad, called Ranj, but Toby doubted that they would ever actually meet in person. It was an ongoing flirtation only.

There is no such thing as an experience, only our interpretation of it. What is unresolved in that interpretation gets put into memory. The whole of life and death together is experience. This is actually what we are going through. Breaking it down into bits is not experience, but is instead an escape from it by thought, which can only capture fragments and never the whole. Thought wants to be whole and tries to achieve this wholeness through accumulation, which it calls experience. But thought is only whole when it is absent.

“Could we say we have gone wrong by looking at the content of thought rather than the movement of it?” queried Steve one day, over the internet messaging system.

“Who is saying that we have gone wrong?” replied Toby. “Thought is saying this, isn’t it?”

But what if there is no right or wrong at all in any field of life, other than in the technological field where accuracy in measurement is necessary? A wrong measurement there may be catastrophic. And, psychologically, it is an obvious fact that there is no right and wrong. There is only what is. What is is neither right nor wrong. The fact that I am violent is neither right nor wrong. But any idea that I should be something else - calm and peaceful, non-violent, caring - immediately brings in notions of right and wrong behaviour, of morals, and all of that. So it is ideas themselves that are the wrong movement, because they take us away from the facts. Ideas are measurement without accuracy. The very word 'accuracy' means 'that which is done with care', but we label, judge and condemn ourselves and others without any regard to care at all.

Toby didn’t see himself as a cheating husband or even as a promiscuous man. Toby liked sex with other men. That was the fact. Those who judged him had the problem with the fact, but he himself had no problem with it at all, except perhaps for an occasional tiredness that came over him if he had overindulged in it. Generally, though he was practical and tactical, limiting his new encounters with men to no more than two a week.

What he didn’t know at this moment, however, was that one of these planned romantic rendezvous was about to cause him some difficulty. He was going to encounter a menacing situation, somewhere in the course of this chapter, and what he made or didn’t make of it would have a significant impact on the rest of the story.

Yet another man entered the picture, Tony, an older man keen to tender to Toby’s needs and to keep him in a state of heightened sexual arousal. At this point, Toby considered hiding his online profile from the world and allowing himself some breathing space. Perhaps it was the arrival of the dark nights that was making him so impulsive, so eager to try a wide range of different men. It felt like he was fighting against the encroaching darkness, physical and psychological, knowing all along that it was a vain fight, but unable to stop himself from continuing the battle.

The thought of these five or six men, waiting their turn, brought him into a state of rampant excitement and arousal that he couldn’t endure or postpone for another hour. He searched his online contacts and found the telephone number of a man who was willing to help him empty his balls there and then. It was all over in about five minutes and Toby felt immediately better. Toby had merely breathed heavily and moaned as the man on the other end of the phone described all the things he would like to do to Toby’s body. The most thrilling part of it for Toby was that the man encouraged guys to his home, gave out his address details freely, and had dozens of recommendations from satisfied visitors. Usually, the guys crept in through an open side door and found the man asleep in bed, and then all sorts of things happened, described in great and joyful detail. Toby knew that if that man lived just a little closer, he himself would be walking through that door.

Regaining some sort of sense and perspective, just a little, Toby sent a message back to Tony, recommending that the two of them meet next month at the sauna. It would put the whole thing in a better setting.

Toby couldn’t quite adjust his eyes to the darkness of the room and get his bearings quick enough. A door had opened and a figure was standing over him. It was a man with his trousers round his ankles, his cock sticking out above his trunks. Toby was lying on his side and the other man was creeping closer. The man was inches away from Toby. He could smell the thing in the other man’s hand.

“You gonna clean it for me, then?” whispered the man.

Toby froze, his eyes darting everywhere, looking for clues. It was a strange bedroom, quite large, tidy, nothing seemingly out of place, except for this half-naked man and his smelly cock.

The other man was tall, over six feet probably, and strong, much too strong to fight off. He had tattoos running down both his legs. From what Toby could see of his face, he was a handsome young guy, perhaps about forty, no more. The cock was firm and strong too, about seven inches of it, its foreskin pulled right back. It was now almost against Toby’s lips as the man bent in to get as close as possible. One part of Toby wanted to laugh at the ludicrous figure of the man, with his trousers at his feet. He leant up and rested on one arm, looking the man in the face, hoping for some sort of compromise.

“Go on!” urged the man. “I’ve kept it unwashed today, just as you said.” That fact didn’t need explaining. There was a mix of odours. Toby swallowed hard. He had just realised where and who he was. He would have no choice but to play along.

Toby maintained silent eye contact with the other man for a few seconds, during which he found himself responding positively in the groin area. The sheer good looks of the other man were going to be enough to get him through this, he thought, and his own cock twitched at this realisation. He licked his lips and was about to start the cleaning job when he had another thought.

“Please!” he begged. “Please! I can’t!”

The other man took a step back.

“What the fuck!” he muttered. He began to fumble for his trousers.

“No!” said Toby. “You’ve got to take me by force! I’ll do anything I am made to do!”

The man stopped, unsure, and let his trousers drop back down to the floor. He again moved in close and rubbed himself against Toby’s face. Toby moaned and turned away his head. The other man took hold of Toby and turned his head back, opening his mouth with his fingers. With his hair held tight, Toby was made to lick and clean the thing, gag ging as he did so. The man roughly pulled at Toby’s hair and got him to sit up on the edge of the bed. He shook his feet to free himself of the trousers, kicking off his shoes as he did so. His black trunks also came off.

Toby was completely naked and was amazed to find hairs all over his chest. He was also aware of a short beard upon his face. A quick glance at his fingers gave evidence of a man in his fifties, a heavy smoker. This was the man who had helped him on the telephone to empty his balls earlier that afternoon.

The man left Toby in quite a messy state, as had obviously been arranged. Toby, lying on his back, felt around the sides of the bed for something to help clean his face and put his hands on a small dark towel, which had been tucked under the pillow. Wiping himself off, and about to rise from the bed, he was disturbed again by the door opening. Another figure came towards him in the gloom, a little startled at finding Toby awake.

This time the lad was barely older than a teenager, perhaps twenty at most, his hand fondling whatever was inside his grey jogging bottoms. He came and stood at the side of the bed and masturbated furiously above the reclining body of the man on the bed. Toby lay back and waited. In just a few seconds a shower of fresh semen hit him across the chest and face.

As the young man departed, he muttered a perfunctory, “Thanks, mate,” and closed the door behind him.

Toby looked desperately for a clock, trying to work out whether it was early morning or late evening. Finding none in the room, he again cleaned himself with the towel and got up off the bed. He turned on the light by the switch at the door and searched for some clothes. His eyes blinked with the sudden change from dark to light. In a top drawer he found pants, socks and a T-shirt. A pair of jeans was lying on the floor at the foot of the bed. He pulled them up over his legs and fastened the buttons.

Tentatively opening the bedroom door, Toby peered out into a bare corridor, at the end of which was a half-open front door. Above the only piece of furniture in the hallway, a long rectangular table, a wall clock told him that it was eight thirty.

He was about to look for some food, - his stomach indicated that it must be morning - when the front door moved and yet another man entered. The new man was much older than the previous visitors.

“Hi, Mart!” called out the new arrival.

Toby stood still, and, as Mart, smiled.

“Hi!” he said, not quite knowing what to do next.

“You going out?” asked the other bloke, a man in his fifties or sixties, dressed in a postman’s uniform. “You got time for me?”

Toby, as Mart, guessed what the other chap wanted. This must be the rush-hour traffic, he thought, men on their way to work and wanting to start the day satisfied. He beckoned for the man to come into the bedroom.

“I’ll just have the usual, then,” said the man, unzipping his trousers and taking out his erection. It stood invitingly proud of his postman’s red uniform. The man leaned back against the wall. Mart knelt down and got to work on it. At the point immediately before orgasm, the man grabbed Mart’s head and forced himself deep into his throat, not giving him any chance to back away and breathe.

“Fuck, mate, that was hot!” said the older man, zipping himself up and making his way out. “I’ll see you next week, then. Thanks!”

As the man made his way down the corridor, Mart followed behind. He closed and locked the front door, but first looked out to gain his bearings. The door was on the side of a large semi-detached house, with a parking space right outside. There were several people walking along the road at the top of the drive. Lots of traffic went past in the few seconds he stood there.

“Liar!” said God.

Toby blushed.

Both of them fell silent.

“Get on your knees! Now!” ordered God.

Toby did as he was told. They were in the sitting room and had been talking about what had happened at the house with the open front door.

“Take it out!” commanded God, standing up close to Toby.

Toby trembled. His whole body started to shake uncontrollably. He lowered God’s trousers and exposed the deity’s huge, dirty penis. It hung there limp and uninviting.

“Make me proud, boy!” said God, nodding his head. “I know you too well, you little slut. Your excuses don’t work with me.”

Toby couldn’t stop shaking. His excitement was too much. He had been complaining about having been forced to service three men in the space of about ten minutes. He had blamed God for making him submit to a disgusting act of fellatio on an unclean cock.

“I’ll show you unclean, laddie,” murmured God, threateningly. “Go on! Get to work, bitch!”

Toby nudged the thing with his nose. It smelt of stale piss and ripe cheese.

“Wait!” said God. “I want to enjoy this thoroughly.”

He pulled up his trousers and walked over to the sideboard and pulled out a drawer which contained an assortment of items.

“Get stripped now!” he barked. “Everything!”

Toby quickly removed all his clothes, including his socks. Socks left on usually meant a hard smack from God’s right hand.

“Bend down,” said God. Toby lowered his head as God attached a leather and metal collar around his neck.

“And hands behind your back,” he added, fastening Toby’s hands together with a pair of handcuffs.

God leaned down and whispered in Toby’s ear. “If anyone’s dirty in this Godforsaken universe,” he said, “It’s you.”

“Yes, sir,” whimpered Toby, knowing he now had to be careful not to invoke the wrath of God by even just one word out of place. He looked down and could see the precum dribbling out of him, dripping down on to God’s best shagpile carpet. He trembled in anticipation of the punishment.

"Damn!" said God, to himself. "I can't find the book."

Usually, when they played these kinds of games, God allowed Toby to inhabit a younger version of himself, somewhere about thirty five years old. Today, however, without the book, it was not quite possible, unless God went to look for it.

"Can't be arsed," he said.

Toby cursed silently and received a swift slap across the cheek.

"Sorry, Sir!" he cried out.

Thwack! Another blow hit him on the other cheek. God hated the word 'sorry.'

Toby hung his head and waited.

"You'd better lick that up, and quick," grunted God, pointing to the carpet. Toby bent down and used his tongue and lips to suck up the small puddle he had made.

When he brought his head back up, God's cock was right in front of his nose.

"Get to work then," demanded God.

Toby knew full well that none of this was real. It made no difference. He gagged and spluttered and almost threw up. Every one of his stomach muscles tightened. His eyes watered and he sobbed quietly.

"Good boy," said God, soothingly, making Toby sob louder.

Another reason to regret not having the book, the chief reason from Toby's perspective, was that the book allowed God to transform himself into anything else he wanted to be. Sometimes he became the most stunning, good-looking man in the whole of creation. It was only the good looks of the man in the darkened room that had got Toby through his fellatio ordeal. He had been hoping for a similar saving grace now, but was sorely disappointed. God remained resolutely God.

When it was over and God had tucked himself back in his underpants, Toby was told to go and make the hot drinks. He was obviously meant to remain naked and collared, though his handcuffs had been removed.

Fortunately, the rooms of God's cottage were all warm.

By the time Toby got back to the sitting room with the tray of tea things, God had been upstairs to change. He was wearing a long striped Arabic gown. In his right hand was the book and around his left hand a string of beads.

Toby's face lit up. He couldn't help grinning and licking his lips lasciviously.

"Patience, oh, perpetually horny one," said God. "Tea first."

"I need to tell you something. You are going to face a test of your faith," explained God. "I am giving you your reward in advance, as I have no control over the outcome."

Toby looked up and put down his teacup. God always insisted on the best china set being used when he was at home, though he didn't mind drinking from mugs elsewhere.

"Test?" queried Toby.

"Yes," said God. "Someone you're about to meet will not be whom you think they are. They will try to use you."

Toby was about to ask another question when God silenced him.

"Don't ask me any more," he insisted. "That's all you need to know."

Both went silent and finished their tea.

"Now!" said God brightly. "Who would you like me to turn into?"

Then God had a second thought.

"Make it a good one," he recommended, "Because this may be the last time ever you have sex with total abandonment."

Toby's brow wrinkled with immediate concern. It couldn't be that bad - could it? - whatever was about to happen to him in the next few days.

"I don't know," said God. "Like everything else, it is all up to you."

"You called it a test of faith," said Toby, remembering. "Why faith? You know I don't put much store in faith."

God pursed his lips.

"You... We all put much more store in faith than you realise," said God. "That's the point of the test. To see the difference and step out of it."

Toby shuddered. God's words struck a sombre yet honest note. He knew how easily he himself got caught up in the illusion of existence. It happened to him almost minute by minute. Only at those times when he was totally attentive did he get a glimpse through the veil. Those moments did not last long.

"Anyway, forget for the moment that your immortal soul is in great danger..."

Toby rolled his eyes and got a sharp slap to his cheek, for his cheek. Dressed as he was in just his collar, he was still very much God's property.

"...And just be a little kid in a sweet shop."

God looked carefully at Toby to see how seriously he was taking all this.

"What do you want me to be?" God asked. "Tall, short; fat, thin; smooth, hairy; top, bottom?"

It was a difficult decision. Toby ran through a lot of crazy options. He considered those men he'd slept with recently, a few more from the past, some men he'd seen on TV or in the movies, even men he'd noticed in passing on the street or at the local supermarket.

"Or do you want pot luck?" asked God.

That was what he was going to get if he didn't decide fairly soon.

"Dean!" shouted Toby, the revelation hitting him. "Dean, please."

"The man that got away," said God, not without a hint of cruelty. "Alright, easy enough."

God opened the book, which had a green and gold pattern embedded in its cover, and started muttering to himself. His left hand shook to stimulate the beads he was holding.

"Close your bloody eyes!" God commanded, raising his hand as if to deliver another blow to Toby's face.

He did as he was told and waited.

A sound like the hiss of steam escaping from a pressure cooker filled the room. It also felt considerably warmer.

"Quick," said God. "Get some clothes on!"

Toby turned away from whatever was happening in front of him and grabbed his clothes from the chair in the corner of the room. He slipped on a jumper and pulled on his trousers, without putting on any underwear. He closed his eyes and made his way back to where he'd been standing. The hissing sound had ceased and the whole place was filled with a deep, eerie silence.

Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He opened his eyes and peered into the face of Dean.

The sex between them couldn’t be anything else but amazing. Dean stood a couple of inches shorter than Toby, his handsome face enhanced by a neat beard and moustache. His dark brown eyes shone brightly as they gazed into Toby’s, full of warmth and affection.

“What’s this?” asked Dean, touching Toby’s collar, which was still in place around his neck.

Toby reached round and unfastened it, and then fastened it around Dean’s neck.

“It means that I own you now,” said Toby. “You have to do everything I tell you to do.”

Dean’s face was alight with surprise and pleasure at the prospect of serving Toby. Equally, Toby was just as delighted. It would be nice to play the dominant role for a change.

Dean had appeared stark naked, as expected, and his whole body rippled with muscles, probably far too many for his own good. Here was a man who spent a considerable amount of his leisure time keeping himself in shape. Toby surveyed the figure of the man who now belonged to him. His gaze lingered on the slowly developing organ in the centre of his body. It was very impressive, long and shapely. As it lengthened, the foreskin retracted to expose a fine, tasty-looking head. Dean’s body was covered with hair and Toby relished the thought of running his fingers over every part of him.

“You can undress me now,” said Toby.

Dean pulled the sweater over Toby’s head and cast it to one side. Then he unfastened the belt around his trousers and lowered them to the ground. Toby stepped out of them and both men were now naked together.

“Turn round and bend down,” ordered Toby.

Dean did so and received from Toby a loud and painful smack on his buttocks.

“That’s for breaking our date,” explained Toby.

Dean shook his head vigorously to indicate that he understood.

“Do it again, Sir,” he pleaded. “I don’t deserve your mercy, Sir.”

Toby stiffened with excitement, his cock once again dribbling on to the carpet. He raised his hand and gave Dean a swift and sharp crack on his backside. Then he pulled him towards him, pushing his cock between Dean’s legs. He reached round Dean’s body with both hands and rubbed them up and down his torso, finding and luxuriating in all the hairy areas of the younger man. As he rubbed his hands across his nipples, Dean gasped out loud and gave a moan, his knees buckling a little with the thrill of it. Dean’s head twisted round towards Toby’s and the two men kissed.

Whether Toby had been making love to Dean, to God or to just another version of himself was never going to be clear, no matter how many tales were told or philosophical articles written. What mattered was the affection generated and the fun that they shared. Anything else was irrelevant. Whether it was three minds, two minds or one mind turned in upon itself was unimportant.

“Joy and compassion are out of our control, but fun is not,” explained Toby to his god son, Steve.

Steve asked, “Can you elaborate?”

“Fun has the same root as ‘fond’ - and it is there in the word ‘fundamental’ too,” wrote Toby.

“But why is fun not out of our control?” queried Steve.

“When you are literally fond of everyone, no exceptions, then life must be tremendous fun, mustn’t it?” replied Toby. Then it went quiet between them.

Toby had great fun screwing Dean, holding on to him as he leaned across the sofa in God’s sitting room, allowing the sexual pressure to build and ebb several times before giving in to it and releasing the pent-up frustrations of the last few days into the body of the younger man. Toby had collapsed on top of him and both men fell into the soft fabric of the sofa. Toby curled up into a ball and waited as the bodily shape of Dean disappeared and God re-materialised.

God picked up the collection of Toby’s clothes that were scattered around the room and brought them over to him.

“Bet you’re hungry after that,” said God. “I know I am. I could eat a fucking horse.”

“Sorry,” said Toby, sniffily, “I’m a vegetarian.”

“Clever arse,” replied God. “Anyway, I’ve got very little in.”

God stood still in the middle of the room and looked thoughtful for a few seconds. He went over to the fireplace and switched on the small electric fire which stood in the grate. Slowly, the bars of the fire began to glow bright red.

“Back in a second,” he said to Toby, who was getting dressed.

He walked out of the sitting room and into the kitchen. Toby straightened and patted himself, sitting down on the sofa to put back on his socks.

Soon, God re-emerged with another tray of tea things, on which also sat a butter dish and a plate of English crumpets. He put the tray down on the coffee table, picked up the plate of crumpets and bent down by the fireplace. He then used a small extendable brass toasting fork to prepare their snack, three crumpets each, toasted by hand in front of the glowing bars of the electric fire.

“Very 1950s,” said Toby, remembering similar scenes from his own childhood.

“1850s, actually, this,” said God, raising the fork in the air, with a provocative gesture.

“Fork me,” said Toby.

“I shall,” said God, “Next time.”

Toby smiled and blushed a little, squirming at the thought.

Once one has had sex with God, everything else does kind of pale into insignificance. Toby was lucky. For him it was a regular occurrence. He didn’t really understand why it happened or what he himself had done, if anything, to instigate the affair. The whole thing was a vast puzzle and there were just as many painful parts to it as there were pleasurable. Toby enjoyed every aspect of God’s sexuality, which ranged from the totally submissive to the totally dominant. Usually, God preferred to play the playfully cruel and brutally dominant role of master, which always turned Toby to jelly. This too was Toby’s preferred role in bed, the utterly submissive. But as he got deeper into the many acts of submission, Toby found a counter energy building that allowed him access to his own darker and crueller side. Then they swapped roles, usually with God taking on the form of a much younger and much more helpless male personality on which Toby could vent his primeval rages and desires with wild abandon. Sometimes Toby was shocked by how far God would permit themselves to go with this. Fortunately, it remained private to them and created a bond between them that perhaps few beings would ever know.

“By the way, who told you to take off your collar?” asked God, standing over Toby with a plate of freshly buttered crumpets.

“Huh?” grunted Toby.

God moved the plate from his right hand to his left and gave Toby a smack across the face.

“What the hell!” said a startled and angry Toby.

God stared down viciously at the man on the sofa. Toby stared back at him defiantly.

“Test!” said God. “I said there’d be a test.”

“What the fuck are you on about!” Toby was genuinely at a loss to comprehend what was happening.

“Good God!” said God, feeling less good than God had felt in years. “You took off your collar! You put it on me!”

“But… But…” spluttered Toby. “Dean! It was Dean!”

“Dean!” shouted God. “Dean? The man that got away? There is no Dean, you stupid cunt!”

Toby shook his head, not wanting to hear any of this. He sat as far back in the chair as he could, not knowing what might happen next.

What happened next was that God calmed right down. He had that ability. He could move from sublime rage to infinite compassion in the blink of an eye. This, however, was not yet quite infinite compassion.

“You see it now, don’t you?” said God softly.

“Yes,” whimpered Toby, feeling more foolish and exposed than he had ever felt before.

God breathed out a long sigh. “Oh, Toby!” he murmured, “I do love you so.” He reached over and stroked the man’s face tenderly, fondly.

“I’m so… I’m so…” Toby was at a loss. If he now apologised to God, that would make things ten times worse. “I’m so stupid!” he said, landing on a better alternative word.

“Like all humans, yes,” agreed God. “Here, hold this.” He offered the plate of crumpets to Toby. “I’ve just realised what your punishment must be.”

God raised the hem of his gown, exposed his penis, wanked it for about two minutes and then shot a load of sticky cum across the plate of crumpets.

“Tuck in!” he said. “Bon appetit!”

Chapter Four:

Chastened, Toby began the very same evening to write down his own list of rules. It was a very short and simple list. Toby called it his Rules of Engagement:

I am the world

The world approaches me

No secrets

No template

No interference

Each of these five rules made perfect sense to Toby, and later he would have the opportunity to talk them through, either with God or with his god son. For the moment, it was enough that they had been written down and were there to be looked at when he felt wobbly. For Toby, feeling wobbly usually meant feeling horny - the difference was negligible.

Toby agreed to stick to the principle that anything he’d previously arranged before he wrote down these five rules ought to remain in place. He felt he had no right to disappoint any of the men he had already planned to meet. There were by now four possible dates awaiting him, three this week and one in the following week. They were men ranging in age from 33 to 66, with a 48-year-old and a 55-year-old in the middle. They were a mix of fetishes thrown in as well as a variety of sexual roles, incorporating bottom, top and versatile guys. It was going to be a busy week.

There were one or two other men waiting on the side-lines, half arrangements that may or may not fizzle out over time. Toby thought it best to keep quiet with these men, allowing only them to make any further moves. This was difficult for Toby, as he enjoyed the flirtation stage of each rendezvous as much as the actual execution. As a precaution, he immediately considered deleting every photo from his online profile that might offer sexual titillation.

“No interference,” said a voice. “That’s one of your rules. Deleting a picture of your cock is interference.” This voice was Toby’s own voice, of course, its wobbliness and horniness unmistakeable.

He fell in love again the next morning. A guy in Ireland, unreachable, untouchable, unbelievably good-looking and sexy. A love without boundaries overwhelmed him. He felt its power deep in his stomach, spreading out to every other part of his body and mind. The desire to consume and be consumed. The urge to merge, as a songwriter or two had put it.

It wasn't just the photos and the videos of the man that got to him. It was also the written profile, the effort that had gone into it, the humour and the seriousness, the need to connect. And the man was into older guys. Tall and strong and powerfully endowed, a heavy cummer.

Toby wilted into his chair in the cafe where he was sitting, unable to breathe or think or feel. Perhaps he was having a stroke. He was the right age for it.

"Fuckin' eejit!" thundered God.

All eyes were on Toby's table in the corner. A large group of friends on the next table, a mix of white and black faces, fell silent. A family group, three tables away, turned to look, two women, a man and a child. In the far opposite corner too everyone had gone quiet, alarmed by the outburst. Fortunately, in the adjoining room, the noise of chatter had drowned out God's voice.

"Shhh!" urged Toby. "Shhh!"

"Don't shush me," said God, speaking in a softer tone. "Everything bad or embarrassing you bring upon yourself, lad."

"Lad!?" thought Toby. This was a new one.

"May I remind you of Rule. Number. Two?" God's punctuation mimicking that of Toby's, who had just sent a message to the Irish man he had fallen in love with: "You. Are. Beautiful."

Toby's face was bright red. His embarrassment was doubled by God's perspicacity on top of God's visibility and audibility in his favourite place, his inner sanctum.

"In what way is sending a love letter to a stranger a way of waiting for the world to approach you?"

Toby had no answer. His embarrassment was turning into anger. God had cornered him in one of the few places where he felt truly at home. Fortunately, none of the cafe staff were nearby to witness the explosion. The other customers would all soon enough forget about it. But it could have gone very differently.

"Fuck right off," said Toby, emboldened. He felt surprisingly calm. It felt very good to swear at God. "Fuck. Right. Off."

God's face was a picture.

"Oh!" he whimpered, shrinking into his seat.

Later, Toby added a sixth rule to his homemade list: "The rules don't matter." He was tempted to write, "The rules don't fucking matter." He thought about it. He liked the second version better. The expletive stayed in.

Toby thought immediately of Jonny, the man on the beach, the man of the, "Today can fuck right off," attitude. He imagined an extremely hot scenario where the two of them were joined in the cave by the six-foot-six Irishman. They would rip Toby's clothes off, tearing them into shreds so that he would have to walk home naked, maybe with only a bit of driftwood to cover his modesty.

That had actually happened to someone Toby knew, another sexual renegade, who had been made to run naked to his truck after his clothes had been cut from his body by a randy barber. These two new characters were now also in the cave. Toby was surrounded. Four men waiting to devour him. Toby wanted to drown in cum.

"Any more drinks?" asked George the waiter, coming up to the corner table.

"No thanks, George," said Toby. "We'll be off in a minute."

The four men formed a circle, placing their hands over each other's shoulders and moved in upon Toby.

"Go on!" urged God. "Tell me more!" They had changed their minds and had ordered more drinks, this time a pot of tea. George had just set them down on the table.

For some reason, the four men had entered the cave naked. It was not that surprising really, as the beach was popular with nudists...

"Naturists," interrupted God, not wanting to offend woke sensibilities.

...was popular with naturists. Outside, not too far away, heterosexual couples and families were playing on the sands.

All four of the naked men were very well-endowed. This was just a matter of fact, not something added for sexual titillation. They were all firmly erect and rubbing themselves against Toby's willing tender body. In the darkness of the cave, Toby could have passed for a man in his late forties.

He could feel the position of each stuff penis against him, one at his belly, one in the small of his back, and the other two pressed hard upon his thighs. The men's hands were all over his upper body, squeezing and fondling his flesh, kneading his skin between their fingers, tweaking and stimulating his nipples. He could barely breathe and felt he might faint with the sheer excitement of it all.

Lips were fastened upon his lips, other lips biting into his neck, another mouth nipping at his shoulders and another pair of lips paying great attention to his nipples, the centre of Toby's sexual universe.

Toby moaned and begged and pleaded for release from the ecstatic power coursing through his body. His whole mind burned bright as a flame, clearing away every trace of debris, of regret, of shame and guilt. His own cock stood out proudly, shingles with it's own special glory.

The Irishman bent down and took the length of it in his mouth, slobbering down greedily on the living, vibrant, throbbing proof of Toby's existence.

"Oh, fuck!!" he yelled, but it was not yet time for release.

"That's more like it," said God, encouragingly. "Now I'm really getting a sense of male cameraderie."

"Oh, fuck, yes!" whispered Toby. His breathing was a series of short, sharp pants by now.

While the Irishman continued working on his cock, Jonny was keeping his mouth occupied with deep French kisses. One of the other men was digging into the cleft of his arse cheeks with his tongue. The other man continued rubbing his hands over Toby's nipples, sometimes pinching them, sometimes flicking them with his finger tips. This was the barber, the most sadistic of the four. Toby was in torment, his eyes closed, his face flushed.

"Please!" he murmured, as loud as he dared. "Please!!"

"Not yet," said Jonny and God together. "Not long now, but not just yet..."

God watched carefully as Toby went through the process. It was actually a sexual exorcism. Fortunately, because of the outburst earlier, the other people in the cafe kept their eyes off the small table in the corner of the room. God's fury had kept the sightseers away, not attracted them.

Toby was leaning back into the depths of his chair, his head almost hanging over the edge of it. His eyes were closed and his mouth was open. By some miracle, he managed to keep the noises to a minimum. He gulped and panted, as though gasping for air and water at the same time.

God was grinning widely and his eyes looked right through Toby into the heart of the man's turmoil.

Toby's turmoil was no different from God's. It was indeed the turmoil of the universe brought into sharp focus through the lens of one particular human being. The energy running through Toby's body was the result of the environment acting upon him; the energy running through his mind was his eternal search for an outlet, a way for the man to give back this energy into the environment.

Toby opened his eyes to see God looking straight into him. God was the sadistic barber; God was the man whose clothes had been cut away from him while he sat tied and bound in the barber’s chair; God was Jonny, the supreme force of nature; and God was the Irishman, the trigger for this remarkable episode. God was every archetype of man that Toby had ever known and encountered in his life. Many more faces appeared before him as he gazed into the eyes of God, names half forgotten, names all too painfully recalled, many questions never answered.

“Haji!”

Toby cried out, unable to prevent himself from speaking out so loud that every head in the room turned to look at him.

He collapsed on the wet sand of the cave and waited as each man in turn delivered their load upon his aching body. He curled up into a ball and held himself round the knees, tight against the floor of the cave. The smell of saltwater and sea was in his head. The sound of wet splashing liquid and the feel of it warm upon his skin, on his chest, on his back, on his face, the beautiful smell of it as each man came and then disappeared.

Soon the tide would turn and, then, later that evening, the cave would fill with sea water, washing clean the sand and the stones among the sand. Toby’s body would drift off into the depths of the cave and he would be absorbed into the ancient darkness of the rocks.

Toby shook his head and sat up straight. God poured him a fresh cup of tea and handed it to him. By now, they were the only two people left in that room of the cafe. It was close to four o’clock and, outside, the gathering of a few clouds made the sky darker. In an hour’s time it would be dusk proper, but this now felt exactly like dusk, a psychological twilight.

God spoke in Arabic: پس چه ترسم کی ز مردن کم

Toby sat up straight again and his whole face brightened. His eyes were wide with wonder. He had seen the whole thing, not just the pain of himself, but the answer to all pain, which was also himself. There was nothing outside of it. He clutched at both his arms with his hands and hugged himself tightly.

God watched carefully, breathlessly. The moment would not last forever, but while it shone he could enjoy its light.

Later that evening, Toby recalled a dream he had vaguely glimpsed on waking that same morning. At the end of the dream, he and an unknown woman were chanting into their separate microphones to a disparate and unseen audience. All he could remember about the words of the incantation were the final things he said, which were, “The sea… Sea… See…” He woke up after that, and his brain quickly pieced together the rest of the dream, which was about a place far away where a teacher, long believed to be dead, was once again walking among and teaching to his disciples. Or was Toby the teacher? It was by now all too blurry to be sure.

Toby was at his desk, typing up his diary, having dried himself from a hot bath. He rested for a while, his head in his hands, enjoying the scent of his freshly washed palms and the feel of his fingers against his own face, which felt soft and smooth. To a blind person, how old might Toby’s face feel, he wondered? It was difficult to say. He remembered an occasion, about thirty years ago, when he’d made passionate love to someone in the anonymity of a sauna’s dark room. The two of them must have spent at least an hour together and had done everything possible, savouring every moment, blissfully happy in their combined erotic explorations.

At the end, Toby had been eager to see the other man in daylight, though the other man was less keen. Touching him all over, exploring his face with great care, Toby reckoned that the man could be no more than thirty years old and must be very beautiful. The truth was very different. The man was closer to sixty than thirty. Nor was he a very attractive looking man. But in the pitch black room he had been the perfect lover, the ideal, the dream man par excellence.

“Put the two together,” he said to himself. “The beauty of the darkness and the painfulness of the light. The blissful softness of anonymity and the sharp stings of exposure.”

“It’s time to tell me all about it,” said God, who had entered softly from the next room.

“Haji?” asked Toby.

“Yes,” said God. “Haji.”

Then what should I fear? I have never become less from dying.

One may as well start at the beginning, thought Toby.

"As in, 'Let there be light'?" mused God.

"As in, 'Out of darkness cometh light'," countered Toby.

"Hmm," murmured the divine one.

"All I can remember - and it's really vague - is that we were talking about pain," said Toby. "And I said something that stopped everyone in their tracks."

"Even Him?" asked God.

"Everyone for a moment or two went completely silent. Then he spoke."

"Him?"

"Him."

"And that was the start of it?" God asked.

"That was the first time we both realised we were on the same level, away from the others," explained Toby.

Toby paused to reflect, wanting to make sure that what he said next was as accurate as possible.

"'Can pain be aware of itself?' That was the question I posed that kept them all quiet," said Toby, nodding to himself that it was close enough to the actual words he had used. It was nearly five years ago but he had never forgotten the effect.

"Can pain be aware of itself?" repeated God. "Good. I've got it."

One should hope so. If God himself didn't get it then there was little hope for the rest of us.

"After a moment or two, he - Him - came in with his shocking evaluation of the question. It was for him a painful revelation, we could all tell that. I knew then that our paths were irrevocably fixed together," added Toby. "It was like an orgasm without the sex."

"Which is also painful, I suppose, in its own way," suggested God.

"Exactly!" said Toby, pleased at God's quick grasp of the complexity of the thing.

Thought being aware of itself was one thing, an interesting philosophical enquiry maybe. But the question of pain being aware of itself put thought into another place altogether, wiping it away, in effect.

There were sitting in the car together, having driven out for the morning into the suburbs of Birmingham. They had taken a late breakfast at a familiar and friendly cafe. Now they were pulled up outside an avenue of trees, all the colours of autumn hanging from them.

They were all fifty years younger than him. One of them was extremely good looking. Toby focussed on that one lad alone. He felt an energy beginning to run through him. He breathed slowly, without trying to harness or change the energy in any way. God took his hand and squeezed it tightly. The energy enveloped him. Because he wasn't resisting it, the energy was no longer sexual. He could have been looking at a tree or a mountain, or a horse or a dog. It was an awareness of something other than him, but without him at the centre of it.

"He's beautiful!" Toby said.

"What would you do with him?" asked God. "Be completely honest."

"I would hold him by the hand and tell him that he is a beautiful man."

"And?" continued God, wanting more.

"I would want him to listen to me. If he doesn't listen to me then it becomes sexual, because that's all I have left," said Toby, explaining it to himself as much as to God. If the man didn't listen to his words, all he had left was his body.

"So it's not sexual until then?" queried God.

"No, not at all. His fear of me makes it sexual." Toby was seeing something new. "Then there's a great distance between us, which one hopes sex may diminish. At least, that's how it feels." But Toby knew right then that sex never worked that way. It merely created more distance.

“Celebration,” said Toby. “It’s a celebration. Two minutes ago, there was nothing to celebrate. But now there is this. I am just the witness to it. That’s why I would want to grab him by the hand, look directly into his eyes, get to see the soul of him, and celebrate the simple fact that he is a beautiful human being.”

“Do it!” said God. “Do it now!” The four lads were gathered nearby, looking at something that one of them was holding. There was a bench beside them and it seemed that they might soon sit down upon it.

Toby could feel only the sound of his heart beating between his ears. It was as loud as a drumbeat. He vowed to himself that if they sat down on the bench, he would go up to them.

The friendship that began over that question - “Can pain be aware of itself?” - lasted for two years, during which time Toby and Him had many recorded conversations and even wrote a long book together. Eventually, they met in person and the joy upon being in each other’s company was palpable, obvious, natural and freeing. They hugged each other so tightly, at that first moment together, that nothing else existed but their friendship. So freeing was it that it completely changed the character of Toby. He was from that day breathing a different air, seeing a different landscape, touching a different dimension of existence.

The four lads sat down on the bench and one of them shared cigarettes with the others. Only the beautiful man declined to smoke. Perhaps they were on a lunch break. Or were they college students? It was a half-term holiday this week, so maybe not.

Toby and Him spent a week together that first time in the company of Toby’s husband and two other friends, who had flown over from America. They were meeting in Belgium, No Man’s Land, in a large house that they rented for their time together.

Then, at Toby’s request, a few weeks later, they spent another week together, but this time just the two of them. Toby flew out to stay with Him in his shared flat in the heart of the big European city.

“I’ll let them finish their smokes,” thought Toby, “And then I’ll go over to them.”

Toby: I think in any relationship we’re more afraid of ourselves than ever we are of the other person.

Him: Hm-mm.

Toby: Because something in a relationship is asking us to stop being who we are.

Toby: Which is: who we were.

Him: Something in a relationship asks us to stop who we were. Is that what you’re saying?

Toby: Because who I am is all based on the past.

Him: OK.

Toby: And where there’s a past there’s a future.

Toby opened the car door and closed it again behind him. One of the four lads had stubbed out a cigarette on the pavement. None of them were talking at this point. They were sitting, finishing their cigarettes, or looking out at the traffic and the trees beyond the traffic. Behind them, a magnificent row of beech and birch trees, all colours, oranges, yellows, reds and browns. As Toby walked over to them, a few leaves fluttered down across the path.

Toby stood in the front of the bench and smiled at each man in turn. They raised their heads to look back at him, expectantly. The beautiful man was sitting in the end position on the far left, the furthest away from Toby.

“It’s a lovely afternoon,” said Toby. “I was just telling my friend how beautiful the trees are.” He nodded towards his car, but from where they were sitting it was impossible to see anyone else inside the vehicle.

“Yes,” said the beautiful man, speaking first out of the four, “I was just looking at them myself.”

“It’s a good day to be with friends,” continued Toby. “You are lucky people. I can tell you all like each other.” The men smiled and nodded.

“How can we help you?” asked the man sitting at the other end of the bench. He too was a beautiful young man, - they all were, - now that Toby had got close to them.

Toby smiled and looked up at the trees.

“I don’t think you can,” he said. “I only came over to tell you something, and that’s all there is to it, really.”

“I’m sorry I dropped the cigarette…” began the third young man, the one sitting next to the very beautiful guy.

“No, no,” interrupted Toby, “It wasn’t about that. I don’t mind that at all.”

He fell silent, feeling embarrassed yet oddly emboldened by his embarrassment.

“I am seventy years old,” he said. “Perhaps I’ve got twenty more years left. Probably, I’ve got less years left than the years you have been alive.” He reckoned they were seventeen, eighteen, nineteen.

“Make the most of it,” he said. “Have fun every day, if you can. And, if you’re not having fun, find out why and change it.” He nodded, smiled and then caught hold of the beautiful man’s outstretched hand, offered as a friendly parting gesture.

“Thank you,” said the beautiful young man. “That’s a nice change in itself, to hear that, mate. Thank you.” The others murmured in agreement. Another one of them stood up and also shook Toby’s hand.

Toby nodded and stepped away, as if to make his way back to the car. Really, it was to give him the courage to make his final statement.

“Also,” he said, “I am… I am… I…” He coughed and spluttered a little, not sure what words to use, and not sure how it would come out of him now.

“What is it, mate?” said the beautiful young man, looking straight at Toby. The others were quiet, waiting.

“I wouldn’t say this to a group of girls,” said Toby. “If there were four young women sitting here, I wouldn’t bother them with this.”

He frowned and rubbed his hand over his face.

“It’s because you’re men and I like men,” he said, raising his voice. “Do you get it?”

“Gay, you mean?” asked the beautiful young man. The other three lads perked up, sat up, wondering where this was leading.

“No!” said Toby, forcefully, “Don’t call it that. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s the right word, but the wrong word too.” Like all the other words we use, Toby thought, every single one of them.

He stepped backwards towards the car.

“I like men. But don’t be afraid of them, if you have those feelings. Have fun with your feelings too!” he shouted, getting it clear at last. “I have!”

A sudden gust of wind blew a flurry of leaves across from behind where the lads were sitting. One of the young men reached out with his hand to grab a leaf as it fluttered down in front of him, bright orange.

“You’re a beautiful young man,” said Toby, directing his words at the same man. “I just had to tell you that. I don’t know why. You’re fucking gorgeous!” The other three lads laughed, cheering on their friend, half teasing, half congratulatory.

Toby turned back towards the car and walked on, not looking back.

Chapter Six: Matteo

Toby turned first to Matteo, a Brazilian rent-boy, as a way of shoring up his emotions in the wake of having fallen in love with Him. It was about six months after the realisation that he had fallen in love with Him. He had never fallen so deeply and so horribly in love before. Toby and Him were about to meet for the third time, in England, with Him staying as Toby’s guest. In tow, he was bringing with him a young woman who was a girl and a friend, but not a girlfriend, as he made clear to everyone who asked. Like I am a boy and a friend, but not a boyfriend, considered Toby, to himself alone.

Matteo was smaller than his pictures on the website suggested. Toby was expecting a man of at least six feet tall. But when he opened the door, dressed in red and white shorts and a white vest, Matteo stood just an inch or two shorter than Toby. None of that mattered. Toby was instantly smitten. His dark brown eyes, his trim moustache and beard, his smile, his soft ruby lips, everything about Matteo was delightful.

Without any social niceties, Toby was taken by the hand and led upstairs. Once inside the bedroom, Matteo pounced on him and began to undress him. Toby was too startled to resist, having expected some initial period of shyness to exist between them, a space in which he would have begun a conversation. Toby wasn't bothered about the sex. It was the desire for male company that had brought him to the door.

There was a large mattress on the floor without it's usual base. A white built-in wardrobe ran along one wall. On a wall in the far corner by the window, a huge dildo stuck out, attached by suckers. It was a clean room, the sheets looked fresh. By now Matteo had removed every item of Toby's clothing except for his black trunks and socks.

"You need smaller socks," said Matteo, removing a black sock from Toby's right foot. "Like mine, see," pointing to his own ankle socks. Toby nodded and smiled. Then he was pushed back on top of the mattress and Matteo climbed on top of him.

The first thing Toby had done on entering the bedroom was to give Matteo a bunch of bank notes, which was quickly pushed into a drawer. He wanted the lad to relax, knowing that he already had his payment. Probably it was about £120 he handed over. Toby felt glad he lived in a world where men could do this with other men. But today it felt like the money didn't matter, that Matteo would have jumped on him regardless of being paid or not. Everything about Matteo's actions, including the obvious indications from his impressive penis, led Toby to believe that Matteo was enjoying himself as much as he was.

Eventually, the impressive penis found its way inside Toby. It entered without a single stab of pain, probably because Toby was so relaxed. Matteo gave him a good pounding. Toby felt fulfilled, honoured and vindicated. This had been the right move. After a while, Matteo removed himself from Toby and stroked their two penises together, rubbing them fast then slow then fast then slow, until Toby could resist no longer and subsided into the throes of orgasm. His legs jerked upwards as he came, his cries of pleasure loud and shrill.

Later, they had tea together downstairs in the kitchen. Matteo had a range of better class teas, in little packets and boxes, which touched Toby.

“I would like to see you again,” said Toby.

“You get a crush on me?” laughed Matteo, putting his finger right on the pulse. It must have been obvious from Toby’s face and body language,

They saw each other four more times. The first time, they drove out to a nearby village and sat in the garden of a large pub, drinking lager while Matteo smoked a cigarette. Afterwards, they found a secluded walk up a hill and into some fields where they sat down side by side.

“You can abuse my cock, if you wish,” said Matteo, smiling at Toby, lying back on the grassy bank, his impressive penis outlined against the soft fabric of his shorts.

But Toby was content with the man’s company and their talking and the scent of the cigarette smoke. A few minutes later, a group of people walked past. Toby imagined them catching sight of him with Matteo’s cock down his throat.

The second time, they drove even further out and found a country pub beside a canal, where they sat outside, drinking lager and eating chips. They shared stories and Toby got to learn more about the life of this man, his passions and his hobbies.

For the third and fourth times, Toby’s husband joined them and they went for meals at two different local restaurants, eating pasta and pizza and fancy desserts. Matteo revealed even more about himself, about broken love affairs, family life and his skills of photography and drawing.

Later, when he returned to Brazil, they kept in touch and Toby sent small amounts of money to help with things like medical emergencies. They were friends now, and Toby dedicated one of his books to Matteo, sending a copy over to him. By loving Matteo, it made the pain of losing contact with Him more bearable.

“This all needs to be made so much more clearer,” insisted God. “We can’t keep calling him Him. It starts to look silly.”

Toby knew he was prevaricating. But he also knew that to go straight to the heart of the pain would be enough to cure it forever. He knew that as an absolute fact. It would be like going to the dentist and having a bad tooth removed.

“Ah!” said God, perking up. “So you enjoy the pain. That’s what it means.”

Toby knew that ever since he had lost contact with Him he had turned to sex as a cure for the pain of rejection and loss. He had surrounded himself with it at saunas, in secluded woods and in strangers’ houses. Matteo was just the first of the many men he had encountered in the period since he had lost Him and all that Him represented.

“Like I said, it starts to look and sound silly!” interjected his lordship.

It was this issue of what he represented that held the key to the secret of Toby’s pain and his ultimate salvation or destruction. Perhaps they were going to be the same thing. It was the man’s otherness at so many levels that gave the clue. Facing that would be the apocalypse. All the sexual activity with men and the talk about that activity in all its different erotic guises was just Toby’s way of avoiding the truth.

Toby made a quick decision: no more Him, no more evasion. From now on, he would say the name directly: Abbas.

When Toby was very young, maybe just five or six years old, he remembered a fascination with an older boy who lived in the next street, Billy Thompson. Billy was probably a teenager by that time and, in the later years of Toby’s childhood, he was rarely visible. He wasn’t part of the group of neighbourhood friends that all played together. He didn’t go to the same school as them. He was instead an exotic specimen of distant masculinity, the first sniff of it for Toby. It was the start of a desire for something close-by but far away, near at hand but also forbidden. In Toby’s mind there was very little distinction to be made between Billy and Toby’s own father, whom Billy somewhat resembled in looks. At that time, Toby’s father would have been about thirty-seven years old, which is exactly the same age as Abbas when he and Toby first met.

Abbas is an Iraqi name and means lion, primarily, apparently. For some reason, Toby had always associated the name with Abba, which meant father in Hebrew. There was yet another meaning discovered as he researched it: the name also meant stern and austere. Toby felt that all three meanings fit very well with the man he had known.

“At last!” said God joyfully, “You are finally getting to the nub of things now. It’s only taken till chapter six.”

He snuggled in beside Toby and kissed him on the neck. This morning, God was looking especially handsome, radiant. Toby felt a warm glow inside himself as the deity lay beside him.

“Tell me some more about Matteo, though,” urged God. “I liked him. Why didn’t you have sex with him again? You missed a chance there, didn’t you?”

The first time had been perfect; there was no need to repeat it. That was the essence of the story with Matteo in the bedroom. Toby knew that anything more would have been superfluous. It was only when something felt missing that Toby sought sex. With Matteo, there was nothing missing. In Toby’s own mind, Matteo felt like a complete person. Maybe, in the future, if they were to meet again, things could change.

“Well, anyway,” said God, truthfully, “It’s making me feel horny. Shall we do something about it?” He licked Toby’s neck and nibbled his ear. They had sex a lot, but they had never made love. That would be a step too far.

“I fancy a nice warm cunt and big breasts this morning,” moaned God, turning Toby’s face towards him. “Please, I really need it,” he added, giving him a look of sublime desperation. “I have the book ready.”

“And the face too?” asked Toby.

“Of course!” said God. “Don’t want to look at your ugly mug.”

Secretly, Toby really enjoyed this, but he never wanted to admit too much. Over the many months they had known each other, God had changed not only himself but also Toby into all sorts of human shapes. When the mood took him and God wanted a woman, with the help of the book Toby would change gender. They had tried all sorts of strange combinations, some more exciting than others. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall was one of the less successful pairings. God had really enjoyed himself, Toby not so much.

“And what about you?” asked Toby. “Who the hell’s face shall I have to look at this morning?”

“You won’t be disappointed!” teased God. “I have it all worked out.” He jumped out of bed and picked up the book from the windowsill.

“Don’t do Matteo though,” warned Toby. “If you do, I’ll push you off.”

“Understood,” said God.

As God made the incantation, Toby could already feel his own body changing, his skin becoming softer, his hips, buttocks and breasts larger, his face and hair longer, his penis shrinking back inside his belly, a new vagina forming. Sometimes, he got out of bed and looked in the mirror, but wasn’t keen this morning. He fondled his breasts with his hands and enjoyed the warm, soft, pliable feel of them against his palms. His skin was much darker than normal.

She wriggled against the bed sheets and felt the thrill of the fabric against her skin as she pulled the duvet over herself, luxuriating in the exploration of the new sensations. By now, she was a complete female form. She turned to one side, facing the wall, not wanting to see what God was up to. Soon enough she felt someone slip in beside her, a tall hairy body snuggled up to her and a stiff hungry penis stabbed at her. There were kisses on her shoulders and neck as fingers ran down her back, squeezing tightly onto her buttocks.

They would remain like that for several minutes until God decided to turn her over and reveal himself to her, climbing on top of her with his hands at either side of her slim dark body. She kept her eyes closed as her body was moved into position. His face was directly above her. She could feel his breath on her cheeks. His hands held her arms pinned against the bed. She tried to move but couldn’t. God was in one of his rougher moods. It was going to be a bumpy ride.

"You bastard!" she screamed, fighting to free herself from the grip of hands and the weight of the body upon her. But he held her tight, refusing to back down, determined to go ahead with it. His long erection was pressed hard against the entrance to her pussy, moving up and down, seeking admission.

"No!" she screamed, "Get off me now!" But God was in no mood to withdraw. There was fire behind the eyes and steel in his cock, the hardest and fiercest she had ever known it. Curved like a scimitar it was desperate to get inside her.

His mouth came down on hers and stopped her cries. She twisted her body, but his strength was too great. His tongue went deep into her mouth, his breath smoky and dark, tasting of scorched earth. His dark eyes, almost black in their darkness, bore into hers, expressing infinite tenderness as well as wild anger. The two emotions were inseparable.

Her struggles subsided and she gave in to the waves of pleasure descending upon her as he plunged into her body, building up a slow intense rhythm of determined and desperate fucking. Grunting and groaning like an animal in pain he rode her with a fixed and final purpose.

"Darling!" he muttered, "Please forgive me. Please!" and his whole body juddered with the power of orgasm. As he shot his seed into the depths of her body, he raised his head so that he could look deep into her eyes. Where he saw surprise and shock, she saw only cruelty, a cruelty extending over centuries, the cruelty of everything masculine and powerful.

"Damn you to hell," she whispered, bitterly. "You've gone too far this time."

For a long time, they sat side by side in total silence on the bed. Toby was fuming, near to tears. God, too, was near to tears, realising that he had gone more than one step too far. Their sex games often got rough; that wasn't the issue. They often involved non-consensual scenarios; that too was not the issue. The issue here, the overstepping of the mark, was that God had used the body of Abbas to force himself upon the female form of Toby.

In that guise, Toby thought of herself as Tobi. And, as Tobi, she had experienced some very tough and unforgiving partners. Genghis Khan had been one of them. He stank. Others had been less recognisable, though they were always someone from distant history. God had a wide portfolio to draw upon.

This time, however, it had felt not only like a physical violation - something which Tobi usually quite relished - but an awkward attempt by God to bring about some sort of psychological catharsis.

"Why do you never make love to me?" asked Toby, his question surprising himself as much as God.

"It's always a fucking game for you."

They remained silent for a few more minutes.

"I was making love to you," explained God meekly. "In my own way."

A few more minutes passed.

"I want you to do it again," said Toby. "Except next time I remain as me. I want you to make love to me as Abbas." Toby looked away. "Can you do that?"

God nodded his head, but did not speak. He took hold of Toby's hand, but Toby shook it off.

"In a minute," said Toby. "Give me a minute."

Toby put his hands together and squeezed them against his stomach, making fists as he did so. He could feel the tension ebbing and flowing in alternating waves throughout his body. His head ached, perhaps the start of a cold. Finally, he lent into the body next to him and reached round it with his arm, drawing it closer.

"When?" asked God.

"I don't know," said Toby. "Surprise me."

Realising what he'd just said, he laughed.

"A nice surprise, I mean," he corrected.

God nodded and stroked Toby's hand, which this time stayed within his grasp.

The following morning, they were again sitting together side by side on the bed.

“I would very much like to try an experiment,” said God, out of the blue. “Would you mind if I turned you into Matteo?”

Toby frowned and thought about it.

“Why?” he asked.

“I feel sure that Abbas would really be able to let himself go with someone like Matteo…” explained God, not wanting to trigger Toby too much with the introduction of the name.

“Abbas?” he queried. “What do you know that I don’t know?”

God explained the roots of Abbas’s repressed sexuality and the links back to his own father, who had died at a pivotal age for Abbas. He had begun to see male friendships with older men as a way of replacing his father. But even before the father died, the homosexual yearnings were there, for lads of his own age. The death of his father merely pushed Abbas to take a path of sublimation.

“You, as Matteo, must force yourself on Abbas,” added God, “Otherwise, it won’t work.”

God rubbed his eyes and stretched his shoulder blades behind him.

“You saw what he was like with a woman, real anger and terror going on there,” said God. “With Matteo, pinning him down, making him submit to it, I think we’ll see a very different thing happen.”

Toby frowned again, puzzled by what God was implying.

“You make it sound as though you’re not part of it,” said Toby.

“I’m not!” admitted God. “I am just a cipher. When whoever it is I turn into gets all fired up in the downstairs department, that’s me out of the picture. It’s only at the point of orgasm that I can get back in.”

“Why haven’t you told me any of this before?” asked a bemused Toby. “I’ve always assumed you’re just acting.”

God laughed.

“No, it doesn’t work like that. Besides,” he added, “I’m a lousy actor.”

“So that really was Abbas earlier?” asked Toby, getting more and more lost in the logic of the explanation.

“Yes,” said God. “That was all Abbas, psychologically and sexually as well as physically.”

“And what about Genghis Khan?” Toby spluttered, not believing what he was hearing.

“All Genghis,” said God. “Until, as I said, at the point of climax and I can come back in.”

“And what if he didn’t climax!?” demanded a stunned Toby.

“Then we’re both fucked!” laughed God. “But, fortunately, none of your lovers has ever delayed the moment for much more than a quarter of an hour. They have all seemed fairly desperate to get it over with.”

Toby shook his head in disbelief. Was he being paid a compliment here? It didn’t really sound like it on second hearing.

“He was really rough!” said Toby, referring to Genghis. “At one point I thought he might actually kill me.”

“Oh, yes, he definitely wanted to,” said God. “It’s a risk we all take.”

“For fuck’s sake!” exploded Toby. “You knew that?”

“Only a little at the start, but by the time his cock took over, it was too late for me to back out of it. Once his cock took charge, I was no longer in control. It’s always like that.”

“And what if Abbas wants to kill Matteo? Have you thought of that, oh, great and mighty one?”

God shrugged his shoulders. In his mind, if such an emergency arose, he supposed he would have to resort to the resurrection gambit.

Chapter Seven: Magi

God’s warning to Toby that it could all go horribly wrong if they went ahead with their proposed project fell largely on deaf ears. Not only were they putting themselves at risk, but the Book itself was also in danger. By testing its powers to the maximum, it could fail to work ever again. Indeed, everyone tied up in the enterprise was treading in unfamiliar territory, including any readers or witnesses to the tale. There could be a cataclysm with no tomorrow at the end of it. It would be the conclusion of the story literal as well as the story fictional, with no more chapters in the Book of Revelations, just a long, cold, empty silence.

Toby heard all of this, got the gist of it very quickly, nodded in agreement, but, as his head was filled only with an ideal image of Abbas and the possibility of redemption, it went in one ear and out the other. He would rather gamble the fate of the entire universe for one glimpse of his beloved’s face shining down in benediction upon him. This was his reality and, thus, it became the only version of reality, Toby having got God on his side. The fact that Abbas would actually be gazing upon the face, not of Toby, but of Matteo, was a mere technicality. At least Toby would get to know some more of the truth about the man who had come to him out of the blue, conversed with and cared for him at length, and then cruelly rejected him for the crime of falling in love.

This was Toby’s summarised version of events. It is clear enough. It is perhaps a common occurrence among men, far too frequent to be noteworthy. They get close; they get too close; they run away.

At heart, Toby couldn’t understand all the fuss. This was God’s show, after all. Surely he could put things right by altering time or pausing time or creating a new dimension, or by doing whatever else might be necessary if there was any hitch.

God, of course, knew differently. He had been here before, more than once. He had created so many different versions of the universe that he was at a loss to remember all of them. Each one had failed at some point in their millennial lifetimes, chiefly due to the behaviour of the creatures brought into existence. Astral physics, and all that side of things, had never been the real issue. It usually came down to something very simple, like his subjects being unable to sustain boredom. Not surprisingly, this was God’s own fatal flaw. Bored with his own company, he kept trying over and over again to summon up from the primeval mud and matter of the universe just one or two worthy companions.

“But you’ve got me!” said Toby brightly.

God shook his head in disbelief.

“So you’ll give up all thoughts of Abbas and Matteo and Dean and…” - and God continued with a very long list of all the men whom Toby had slept with and been smitten by.

Toby pulled a face.

“Then you shouldn’t have given me a dick!” he complained.

“I tried that once,” said God. “Androids. Robots, essentially. Not a spark of humanity in them. I created a whole civilisation that went on for centuries and centuries without a single war, argument or cross word, the most marvellous technological achievements, magnificent architecture, the lot.”

He shook his head again.

“I had to close it down in the end. I was so fucking bored!”

By his estimation, there had probably been close to a thousand of these experiments. Some of them he was very ashamed of and vowed never to tell a living soul about it. But at the back of his mind, he hoped that one day he would find someone who understood what he had been trying to do, even the darkest stuff.

Toby, his mind-reading abilities honed by his recent intense interactions with God, perked up.

"What darker stuff?" he asked.

The following day Toby had errands to make in a neighbouring town. It was a forty minute drive through slow traffic. The weather had picked up and the sun now shone almost too brightly, dazzling his eyes as he drove south. He put on his sunglasses and played a few music tracks as he drove. One of them stuck in his head, so that later, as he walked into the high street, he burst out singing, quite involuntarily.

"The evening breeze caressed the trees, tenderly..." he began, in a warm tuneful baritone.

A man sitting on a bench nearby sat up straight and looked directly at Toby. The sudden movement alerted Toby, and he stopped singing. He walked on, but cautiously looked back behind him after a few paces. The other man was following him. He was a homeless guy in a black and grey tracksuit, his lean, unshaven face covered by the hood.

By the time he got to the entrance of the indoor shopping mall, the man had caught up with him and was walking by his side. Toby could smell his odour, a mixture of cigarettes and stale sweat. Unnerved, Toby stood still and waited. The other also stood still and stared at Toby. His eyes were dark brown, the most beautiful thing about him, almost as though they were not a part of the rest of him.

"You're one of them," said the man in a calm monotone.

"Pardon me," said Toby. "What do you mean?"

The man looked him up and down, his face expressionless. His eyes burned into Toby's. They were now standing face-to-face in the middle of the mall as a steam of shoppers passed by on either side. Although only a Wednesday, for some reason the town was much busier than usual.

"You're an angel," said the man, "Your singing gave you away."

"Oh!" said Toby, startled and unsure what to say or do.

"Make love to me, please," said the man.

From the tone of his voice, he could have been asking for money or directions to the station or any other mundane request.

Toby felt a tightness in his chest and an urge to cry. His sudden pity for the man was overwhelming. He could do nothing but stare back, his blue eyes looking deep into the brown.

"None of this is real," said the man, as Toby took hold of his hands and pulled him closer to him.

They put their arms around each other and kissed. The sensation of sexual arousal was so intense that Toby was sure he was about to faint. There was not one part of his body unaffected by it. Even his fingertips felt on fire, responding violently to the touch of the other body. It was like being in the middle of an electric storm.

A crowd of people continued to walk past them, oblivious. The homeless man no longer smelt of homelessness. His breath was clean, his clothes were fresh, his whole scent was pure.

"You must forgive God all his mistakes," the man whispered into Toby's ear. "Even his darkest thoughts are from a place of goodness."

It was clear at this point that Toby himself was the truly homeless entity. And because there was now no place on earth that he could call home, everywhere mattered. Home had been an illusion all along. He shuddered with the enormity of it, grabbing tight to the body of the man in front of him. The other too shuddered, relieved of his desperate loneliness.

They stood alone, the shoppers gone, the mall empty, the streets outside deserted.

"Thank you," said the man.

"I love you," said Toby.

"I love you," said the man.

By uttering the word they had added something else to its meaning, something that could never be taken away. The mystery of love endured with each utterance.

God had blushed, his face going bright red. He had coughed nervously and had fumbled with something from the coffee table, adjusting a gardening magazine.

“What darker stuff?” Toby had repeated.

God had pursed his lips and had blown out a long slow breath. He had wriggled in his seat.

“Subs-and-doms,” God had said, blurting it out as one whole word.

He had then explained to Toby that he had once created a world where everyone was either a submissive or a dominant male. There were no females. There was no reproduction. Everyone was created as Adam had been created, as a fully-functioning adult. Except there were about five million of them, a mixture of submissive and dominant males, each with a lifespan of about fifty years.

“And?” Toby had prompted.

“They all more or less turned out to be psychopaths,” God had confessed, “Even the most submissive ones.”

“Eww!”

“I had to let it run its course, but I was so glad when it was all over,” God had admitted. “Needless to say, there was not much in the way of glorious architecture and so forth. Even the technology was basic, to say the least. The best they came up with was discovering the secret of creating perpetual motion.”

“Oh,” Toby had said, “That’s something, at least.”

“No, not really,” God had explained. “They used it to build a fuck machine that would never stop.”

“Who are you, really?” asked Toby, before the man walked away and vanished into the darkness of the evening.

“I am one of the magi,” he explained. “We take many forms, rather like the angels.”

Toby knew that in God’s eyes the magi were creatures of rather dubious repute. They were outside of his control, which was the real issue. The angels, most of them, just did what they were told. Whereas the magi created their own rules and rituals, endlessly changing them so as not to be tied down to any restrictive practices or traditions.

Apparently, they had made love for about ten hours, which is why the streets were now empty.

“You have been given ten extra years of life,” said the magus, “Because you made love to me without hesitation.”

He looked around him to make sure there was no-one else nearby. Only in the far distance was there a sign of humanity as a couple of d*unks staggered off in the direction of the train station.

“We also have the power to shorten life,” he said, solemnly.

His dark brown eyes sparkled in the glow of a street lamp. They were by now walking towards where Toby’s car was parked. The man had stopped Toby by the arm to convey the seriousness of what he was saying. He looked deep into Toby’s eyes.

“What God told you yesterday, about his experiments,” continued the magus, “That wasn’t the full truth of it.”

“What do you mean?” queried Toby. “I don’t understand.”

The magus took in a deep breath, unsure of whether or not to commit himself to the revelation. He again looked at Toby and held his gaze for several seconds.

“God can be a real evil bastard,” said the magus.

Toby kind of knew this already, having encountered many of God’s less savoury characteristics.

“They didn’t just turn out to be psychopaths, by accident,” said the magus.

Toby could feel his heart beating faster, knowing what was to come next.

“He did it deliberately, programmed them as psychopaths,” the magus explained.

“And they ended up killing each other?”

“Eventually, yes, but it took a long time, decades,” said the magus. “And that’s not the worst of it.”

“Oh?” said Toby.

“Five million psychopaths. And five hundred who weren’t.”

Toby’s blood ran cold.

“Do you see what I mean?” asked the magus. “Five hundred men who were neither submissive nor dominant, just anxious to survive. It was a cruel experiment.”

Toby couldn’t take it all in, half believing and half disbelieving what he had just been told, dismissing it immediately for its grotesque absurdity yet struck by the very logical possibility that it was all true.

“None of it was real, but all of it was true,“ urged the magus, anxious now to disappear into the night, aware that he had said too much.

“That is why you must forgive God. If you don’t, it all becomes real again. And what is real is false.”

In the distance the clock on the church tower began striking eleven. It was starting to drizzle. Toby felt cold and alone. He looked around for further signs of human activity, but there was no-one about. When he turned back, the magus had gone.

God was sobbing inconsolably. His secrets were slowly coming out into the open and yet he knew there was even worse to come out. But what could he do? He was sick and tired of starting over and trying again. He had been doing that for far too long. It wasn’t self-pity that had brought him to tears, just the realisation that he had never really cried before about anything. It was the novelty of the sensation that impressed him, watching his anger turning in upon itself and producing liquid. He dabbed at his eyes with a monogrammed handkerchief. The initials were OMG.

Toby crept in as silently as possible and heard the sound of sobbing as he turned from the hallway into the sitting room. God was sitting in the kitchen with a cold mug of tea in front of him, half finished. There was a half-eaten cheese and tomato sandwich on a plate next to it. The sight of the sandwich made Toby feel suddenly very hungry. He realised he’d had nothing to eat since breakfast time.

“What are you doing here?” asked God, querulously, annoyed at being discovered in such a delicate condition, but secretly delighted to see Toby.

He dabbed again at his eyes, hoping he didn’t look like too much of a mess.

“Are you finished with that?” asked Toby, pointing to the sandwich.

God nodded and so Toby picked it up and began eating.

“You lied to me, then,” said Toby.

“No,” said God, truly shocked at the accusation, “I only held back some of the truth.”

“Big fucking difference.”

God rubbed his hands through his hair, scratching his scalp with his finger nails.

“There’s worse to come, anyway,” he blurted out, and was inclined to start sobbing again, as a distraction, if nothing else.

“Don’t bother telling me,” said Toby. “I have to forgive you, apparently. It’s best if you don’t say anything else.”

God of course knew all about the encounter with the magus.

“But I want to tell you,” urged God. He paused and frowned. “There is no-one else I can tell all this to.”

Toby raised the hand that was not holding the sandwich and shook it furiously in God’s face.

“Too fucking bad,” he said. “I don’t care to know.”

He finished the sandwich and wiped clean his fingers with a paper towel that was lying on the worktop. He took a deep breath and did his best to calm down.

“Look,” he said, “It’s best to forget and not forgive, rather than the other way around, isn’t it? If you don’t tell me any more, I have less to forget.”

“But…” began God.

“But nothing,” interrupted Toby. He made a gesture of finality by swiping his hands over each other, a sign that everything was over.

“How long did it take to create a world like that, anyway,” asked Toby, curious about the evolutionary logistics of it all. After all, his own world was fourteen billion years old and counting.

“You really want to know that?” said God, surprised. He had been expecting quite a few other questions.

“Yes, just that,” said Toby, “Then we can let the matter rest.”

“Overnight,” said God. “I had the idea in the evening and by the time I woke up the next morning, it was all done.” He seemed pleased with himself.

“Five million?” asked Toby.

God looked very sheepish all of a sudden.

“Well, five million five hundred,” he said. “To be exact.”

Again, he felt like sobbing. He was revealing things about himself that had lain dormant for millennia. Toby just listened without reacting. That alone was enough to set God off again and he reached once more for his handkerchief.

Chapter Eight

It was about a week later when God finally surprised Toby with his gift. After a drive out to the Malvern hills to view the autumn colours for the last time, they settled down on God’s sofa as he reached for the book instead of the TV remote. The book was hidden at the side of the sofa, next to the magazine rack. God had memorised the spell and only needed to be holding the book in his hand for it to work. Within less than a minute, both God and Toby had disappeared and in their place sat Abbas and Matteo. They looked at one another in surprise. For Matteo, it was the surprise of realising that what he had been dreaming about was finally happening. Although his body was different, his mind was still very much Toby’s own mind. This was how it always happened for Toby, whichever form he took on.

For God, however, it was very different. Having no real mind of his own separate from the rest of the universe, once he transformed into another human shape, the regular inhabiting mind of that shape always came along with it. It was the mind of Abbas that now stared at the body of Matteo which now secretly held the mind of Toby. Usually, in these situations, the sexual excitement of finding an attractive partner readily available was enough to distract the surprised visitor from asking too many questions. What God had neglected to do, in this case, was to provide Matteo with any decently enticing clothing. Matteo was still wearing Toby’s clothes, and they sat rather loosely about his slim younger body.

“Is this an acid trip, man?” asked a stunned Abbas, standing up in shock and looking around at his unfamiliar surroundings.

“Where the hell am I?”

Matteo smiled and stood up too, offering his hand in greeting.

“Just go with it, Abbas,” he said, improvising wildly. “I am as lost as you are.”

“Who the hell are you?” demanded Abbas, angrily. “Where the fuck am I?”

“Do you believe in God?” asked Matteo.

“Fuck, no,” spat Abbas.

“LSD? You believe in LSD,” said Matteo, suddenly inspired. “It’s like that.”

Abbas stepped over to the window and looked outside, expecting to see some semblance of normality, some hint of the city in which he lived. He saw only a wide lawn leading to a narrow lane and fields beyond. As he peered to left and right, all he could see was the countryside. He opened one of the side windows and felt the cold air rush in. It smelt strange and fresh, invigorating, but definitely not city air.

While he was busy at the window, Matteo took the opportunity to divest himself of his baggy jumper and vest, leaving him bare chested. He thought about removing his trousers too, but hesitated. Abbas had by now moved away from the window and was starting to explore the rest of the building, peering into the kitchen and then the hallway. Quickly, he ran upstairs and looked in the two bedrooms and the bathroom. Given this chance, Matteo pulled down his trousers and laid them with the rest of his clothes. He was left wearing only the boxer shorts that Toby had judiciously chosen to wear that morning. They suited him better than trunks or briefs would have done, certainly for this occasion.

“Who are you, man?” demanded Abbas as he stepped back into the sitting room.

Matteo decided to run with the truth and see what happened. At that moment, he could think of no other options.

“Hi,” said Matteo, in as jolly a voice as he could muster, “I’m Matteo. I’m working as rent boy. I was asked to come here to entertain you.” He smiled one of the warmest and cheekiest smiles the cottage had ever seen. “Do you like what you see?” He struck a model’s pose, emphasising his backside. He winked at Abbas. “We have fun, yes?”

Prior to this rude awakening, Abbas had been asleep in the flat he shared with his girlfriend. He had been writing for a while, followed by a period of meditating, and, finally, feeling tired, had laid down for a nap. He was dressed in nothing but his underwear too.

“Who the fuck set all this up?” asked Abbas, finally growing more conscious of his own nakedness and looking around for something suitable to wear.

“He’ll be back soon,” promised Matteo. “He told me to wait for you here and - pow! - here you are.” By now, Abbas was barely a foot away from Matteo. “I was asleep and… you just appear.”

Abbas looked at the pile of neatly folded clothes and thought about putting them on, but realised they would not fit. Abbas stood a good six inches above Matteo.

“I can get you a robe?” asked Matteo. “One upstairs.” He pointed to the ceiling.

“You’ve been here before?,” asked Abbas.

“Oh, yes,” said Matteo, “The men who live here, they like me very much.”

“Yes, get me a robe, please,” said Abbas. “Is there a phone?”

There was no phone in the house, neither mobile nor landline. Toby’s phone was in his car, but he wasn’t going to admit this.

Matteo ran up the stairs and hooked God’s own robe of the back of the door. It was the one he usually wore for magic occasions. It felt appropriate. It was also very Arabic in design and colouring. When Abbas saw it, he looked stunned. He took the robe from Matteo and held it up in front of him.

“I’ve seen this before,” said Abbas. “I’ve seen this many times.”

“Where?” asked Matteo, puzzled.

“In dreams,” he explained, “In lots of dreams. It is my father’s robe.”

Abbas slipped his arms into the robe and tied the rope around his waist. He sat down on the sofa next to Matteo. He turned to look at him.

“Why are you a rent boy?” he asked, seriously. “Why are you here?”

“I am here for you,” answered Matteo. “I like to have sex with men and some men pay me. Not all of them though.” He grinned mischievously. “You don’t have to pay.”

Abbas looked Matteo up and down, examining his body and scrutinising his face. Matteo was tempted to reach out and make contact with Abbas, to touch him on the leg or arm, but he held back.

“I wish I knew what was going on,” said Abbas.

“You will, when he comes back,” said Matteo, knowing that when God returned it would be because Abbas had already disappeared.

“Who?” asked Abbas. “Whose house is this?”

This time Matteo looked Abbas up and down. Then he took the risk of taking the other man’s hand.

“Don’t you know?” asked Matteo. “This is the house of God.”

Whether it was because of the words being spoken or because of the physical connection itself, the holding of hands, a change came over Abbas. He softened in all respects, from his body posture to his tone of voice, everything within him relaxed. Matteo even wondered if this was God playing some trick.

“I don’t know why I’m here,” said Abbas softly, almost shyly, as though taking for granted the fact that he was indeed in God’s house.

“It’s the same for me,” admitted Matteo. “But it is a nice house, yes?”

He smiled and looked around the room at the white stucco walls and the neatly arranged furniture. From the outside, one saw only a traditional English country cottage. Inside, it was rather different, much more eclectic, with elements of many foreign design influences. The furniture was all handmade and expensive, various types of wood, very little metal. Only the shape and size of the leaded windows gave a clue as to the origins of the place and its history.

“Will you please come upstairs with me?” dared Matteo. He held his breath, hoping for the right response.

WOLVERHAMPTON

Once, when they were together at Abbas’s flat, during the week they spent alone, he and Toby had actually laid down upon the same bed, side by side. They had remained there for at least half an hour, meditating, the only sound having been some ambient music playing gently in the background. At the time, Toby was sure that something important had happened, that in some way they had swapped minds for a moment or two. Later, as he waited for his plane home, Toby had felt within him a different kind of mental energy, strong, assertive, confident. He was sure that he had been altered in some way by the experience of meditation.

He had fallen in love not only with Abbas’s sharp and unusual intellect, but also with his soft, childlike innocence, which all too rarely came to the fore. For most of the time, Abbas had a stern, no-nonsense exterior. But sometimes, caught out by a joke or a funny situation, he would reveal a completely different side of his character, one which was irresistibly attractive because it left him looking vulnerable and tender. These two sides of him could switch suddenly, and whenever the childlike Abbas came to the fore, Toby took advantage of it.

This, in effect, is what was happening now, as the two of them sat on the sofa. Matteo was playing into the hands of the childlike Abbas, the one who trusted the world and who saw joy in simple things and who was eager to help.

“Will you, please?” repeated Matteo.

“Huh?” murmured Abbas, frowning, but only because he was puzzled, not angry.

“Come upstairs with me, please,” said Matteo.

He rose from the sofa and took Abbas’s hand, pulling him up. Abbas stood up and, still holding Matteo’s hands, followed him out of the room, into the hallway and up the stairs to the floor above. When they got to the stairs, Matteo had to let go of his hand as the flight was too narrow, but nevertheless Abbas followed behind. Matteo’s heart was beating very fast by now, with a whole mix of emotions coursing through his body.

He opened the door into the spare bedroom, which occasionally Toby had slept in. As Abbas walked in behind him, he turned round and took hold of his head, pulling him down towards him and kissing him. Matteo closed his eyes and waited for the response, half expecting a slap or a punch or, at the very least, a violent push.

Instead, Abbas responded with interest and leant into the kiss, not pulling away from it.

“You have amazingly soft lips,” he said to Matteo. “I have never felt lips like this even on a woman.” Abbas closed his eyes and held Matteo close, allowing their kissing to continue.

Then he laughed and said, “I could get used to this.” He looked at Matteo. “I can see why people pay you for your time.”

They resumed kissing. Matteo felt the warm familiar surge of arousal in his abdomen. He pulled at Abbas’s arm and led him to the bed. They lay side by side, facing one another. Abbas moved in for another kiss. He had begun murmuring contentedly.

“How did you know my name?” asked Abbas, out of the blue, suddenly opening his eyes and looking directly into Matteo’s eyes. Matteo felt a slight change of atmosphere. He realised he had to be very careful now.

“They told me to expect you,” he said. “God and…” - he nearly said ‘Toby’ but stopped just in time - “...and the other man who visits here.”

Matteo’s mind was racing to work out the best scenario. So far, he had kept very near to the truth. He could hear lots of different questions being raised in the confused mind of Abbas.

“I only sleep with married, straight men,” he said, completely surprising himself. “They try it with me to see what they like and what they don’t like. I am clean. I am a very clean man.”

This seemed to satisfy Abbas, who now started looking thoughtful, as though running several options through his mind.

“OK,” he said, “You can suck me off, if you like.”

Matteo liked this suggestion very much. As Abbas lay his head back on the pillow, Matteo began caressing him between the legs through the material of the robe, pleased to find a good firm erection already evident. He gently pulled up the robe to reveal Abbas’s underwear. The shape of the curved penis was raised up inside the black cotton fabric. Matteo lowered the pants and moved in to perform fellatio.

“And then I might want to fuck you,” added Abbas. “Are you OK with that?”

As Matteo, he was OK with anything. As Toby, however, he was aware that this bedroom scenario was gradually starting to resemble what had happened the other evening, when he had been taken by surprise and had been forcibly penetrated by Abbas while in female mode. This was not really what he had been hoping for, dreaming of a much more romantic encounter.

“Yes,” he said, “That would be very nice.” He felt it best to go along with whatever Abbas requested, allowing him to guide the experience. “Anything you want, I will give you,” he added, before going back to suck on the beautifully shaped cock.

At this last remark, however, Abbas tensed. Matteo could tell that the other man wanted to say something.

“I’d like to tie you up,” said Abbas, softly, shyly even, not sure of what Matteo might answer.

Before he replied, Matteo went through all the possible outcomes of submitting to this request. None of them seemed highly favourable for him. Most of them were tinged with danger.

“Yes, please!” he whispered eagerly, contrary to everything his own common sense was telling him. “Yes, please, Abbas.” This was Toby’s self-destructive instinct operating at full throttle.

Abbas’s flat in the big European city was on either the fifth or the sixth floor - Toby couldn’t remember - and the room Abbas occupied had one large window which opened into the room. Abbas would sit by this window early each morning to take his first cigarette of the day. Toby would watch him from his camp bed at the other end of the room. A fall from this window would probably prove fatal for even a young able-bodied man, thought Toby. It looked out onto a courtyard surrounded by identical blocks of flats. Below, there were bicycles tied up to railings and a few scraggling flower beds in-between the communal pathways. A few metal benches were dotted about.

Their week together had been intense and revealing. They had reached a point in their relationship where each man thought they understood the other a little better than before. Toby had been as honest as he could be about his feelings for Abbas, and the other man had listened calmly and openly. At the end of the week, after a lot of visits to cafes and coffee shops, each with their own distinct romantic twist in Toby’s mind, they parted at the railway station as Toby boarded the evening train to the airport. It was on the flight back home that he felt convinced that his mind had been taken over by the spirit of Abbas.
