The Community Chapter 1

A new story I've had floating around in my mind for quite some time...  

“Charlotte, I’m really not sure about this. You know what everyone says about this place.” Alice said to her friend from the front seat of the car. Charlotte rolled her green eyes and looked slightly annoyed.

“Come on, Alice. You know this is gonna be a fun time! We won’t stay for long and become addicted to it like everyone says happens. I just wanna pop in and pop out.” She said back with a tone of excitement. The official name of their destination was “Community of Fetish Exploration.” Or if you were anyone that had some idea of pop-culture references, “Kink Land” was what you called it. 

It popped up seemingly out of nowhere in the year 2020. In the middle of the mid-west, far from any kind of civilization, a community of a few hundred kinks lived in their own houses. Everything and anything you could imagine was there. Foot fetishes, people wanting to fuck balloons, every kind of furry, and even those that would walk around completely wrapped in tight black latex.

The weirdest part about it wasn’t always the fetishes, but rather how people would almost never leave. They weren’t trapped, they just simply didn’t want to leave the curious community. “Fetish Fever” they’d call it for those who did get out. “The second you get a taste of what it’s like there, it’s even hard to THINK about wanting to leave.” One women said on a 60 minutes interview about the place once. Never-the-less, it only drew more curiosity from around the world. People were practically flocking to the sex-filled city. 

Alice and Charlotte had never really been on the kinky side, but they only lived 20 minutes from the community. It was memorial day weekend, and they had a few days to kill before heading back to work. The two had been best friends since elementary school. Practically anything they did, it always had to be done together. Naturally, with practically a global land-mark not too far away, they thought ‘what the hell’ and decided to finally check it out.

Alice felt some more nervous bubble up inside of her once they saw the sign for parking. A man in only blue overalls directed them down a dirt path, which eventually lead to a large dirt lot. Hundreds of cars were lined up, with streams of people walking toward the community.

“I’m really hoping we don’t go crazy or anything.” Alice said with a meek smile, adjusting her tank top. Her plump breasts were sweating in the heat. Charlotte let out a short snort of a laugh.

“Yeah, okay! Come on, are you really going to believe people on the internet? As long as we stick together, and don’t take any drugs, we’ll be totally fine. Like I said, I just want us to check it out, then we’re home by like 7.” She said, trying her best to calm her friend’s nerves. Alice wasn’t really convinced though. As someone who had just graduated college with a degree in phycology, she knew that this place had something strange going on in the background. She’d done her research well before heading here. The best advice she seemed to get was the same thing her friend had just told her. Don’t take ANYTHING anyone had to offer you, and you should be okay.

The whole thing had some what of a ‘county fair’ feel to it. There were plenty of flashing lights and buildings that the two could see in the distance as they parked. There were even some rides that whirled and twirled “Kinkers” around. Almost exclusively carnival-fetish people went on those though. Next to all the fun looking buildings, lines of houses on a hill overlooked everything. 

“That’s where all the different fetish people live.” Charlotte said, pointing at the hill as they got out of the car. “That big house in the middle is where they all coagulate and have their meetings I guess. I’m not sure, I think I read that somewhere.” Charlotte said to a clearly still nervous Alice. Her friend just shook her head in response.

“Yeah, I read that too.” She said, trying to think of any reason to head back home. The two didn’t speak much while they walked up to the front entrance. “ENTER HERE” A large neon sign said with an arrow pointing to an entrance kiosk. They were about 30 feet from there when Alice tugged on her friend’s short skirt.

“Charlotte, come on. This is a bad idea. What if we get messed up or something while we’re in there?” She said quietly. She didn’t want the man wearing a spikey full head mask and black banana hammock hearing her as he walked by. Charlotte just sighed.

“Listen, Alice. We’re going to be completely fine. Here, how about this. If at any point you or me feels even SLIGHTLY weird. We’re out of here, okay?” Charlotte said, grabbing her friend’s hand to comfort her. It always worked. Alice let out a slow exhale, then nodded her head.

“You promise?” she said with big eyes. Charlotte nodded back.

“I promise. Now come on, let’s check this place out!” She said, tugging on her friend’s arm. The deal they just made calmed Alice’s nerves for the most part. She liked how she could call this off at any point. 

“Come on, Alice. You got this.” She thought to herself as they walked up to the man behind the ticket booth. 

The man had a bald head, and rough looking face. He was completely naked in the rather hot looking booth. He did his best to give the two ladies a smile.

“Well, hello. Welcome to Kink Land! We just here for the day?” He said with a smoker voice.

“Yes! Just two please.” Charlotte said to the man. He rummaged around in a desk for a few second before pulling out two blue tickets. ‘DAY PASS’ read in gold print.

“Here you are, that’ll be $100 for both.” He said, sliding the tickets across the counter. Charlotte fished a bill out of her purse, and handed it to the man. The two grabbed the tickets, their legs started moving them toward the gate before the man spoke up. “Oh! If this is your first time, might wanna go check out the Big House over there first! It’ll make your experience a lot more fun..” He said, pointing toward the large house on the hill. Charlotte looked at Alice.

“Wanna check it out?” She said curiously. Alice shrugged in response.

“Yeah sure. Guess we could do that first.” She said plainly. They entered through the turnstile. The two started making their way over to the hill.

The first impression they got off the bat was that this place was really all about one thing. Sex. They passed tons of carnival games, strange tents with sweet smelling smoke coming out of it, and a plethora of people just doing whatever the hell they wanted to each other, practically anywhere. Some people were decked out in full costumes, while other’s were naked with weird markings on their bodies. Anything and everything seemed fair game.

“Wow this is crazy.” Alice said to Charlotte when they passed a man in a detailed lizard costume. He had a tray of white pills that he was handing out to other around him. 

“Fuck yes, Drives!” One girl yelled, popping it instantly in her mouth. An audible “MMmmm!” left her mouth the moment the pill hit her tongue. Overdrive pills (Or ‘Drives’ as they were known by most) kicked your fetish into overdrive. It essentially overtook everything in your mind. All reasoning was out the window when you were high on the pills. Each one pushed you to go even farther with your fetish. Some spent their days just taking pill after pill in the community. Essentially, they were throwing their old life away, and replacing it with a constant kinky sex filled fantasy. Alice had read briefly about them before. She knew full well to steer clear of them. 

The two increased their pace to the large house in the center of the hill. The craziness seemed to die down once they got closer to the houses. There were still people around, but it was less of a free-for-all. The click clack of their shoes were obvious due to the hot pavement underneath them. They wasted no time getting to the front entrance of the house.

“After you…” Charlotte said to her friend, grabbing the metal bar handle, and pulling the heavy door open. Alice almost wasn’t ready for what greeted her eyes. 

Dozens of groups were scattered around the edges of this great hall. Some had their own table, bean bag chairs, or simply a rug for them to sit on. “Welcome!” was painted in red paint on a white canvas hanging above them. To the right of them another sign read, “Welcome to the Big House! Make yourself at home. You are encouraged to explore the fetish houses here. Be safe, and as always, have all the fun in the world!” 

“Jesus, how many fetishes are there in this world?” Alice said to Charlotte, but she was already walking away from her toward the groups. “Uh- Hey! Where are you going!” Alice yelled out, Charlotte spun around.

“Uh, to explore? Like the sign said!” Charlotte said with a little giggle at the end. Alice just shook her head at how gung-ho her friend was suddenly. “Loosen up a little, Al. You might have some fun!” She said, turning around to walk toward a group of people dangling pocket watches in front of one another. Alice let out what seemed like the millionth sigh of the day.

“I’m way in over my head…” She thought, taking in a deep breath. The air was rather sweet. It seemed almost to… relax her in a way. She took in another breath, feeling another small piece of her anxiety fall away. She made note of that, and started scanning the room. “Okay that’s bondage…. Probably hypnosis over there…. Some kind of chains and whips thing…. Spitting fetish is a thing?.... oh… are those…. Diapers?” She stared at the group of people laying or crawling over a green rug. One women had her legs spread wide open, and her right thumb planted right in her mouth. “Jesus… they really do have everything here…” She reasoned, as she started randomly walking toward some groups…
