Trapped Within

Trapped Within

By Geoffrey Wilkins

Down the river-walk live all the outcasts and forgotten people. It is also where the whores work.

Sandra is a transsexual, she used to be Stanley and worked in a metal factory. He felt he was a woman trapped in a burly hairy man's body, so he became a she.

He knew what he was getting into, he knew she would never get a decent job or be accepted in society and yet he had to do it. She wasn't sorry about his decision, just a little frustrated with her new life.

After a few months she ran into some friends, they didn't recognise him

She flirted with one. A co-worker from the factory, a tall man called Nick. He had always liked Nick, but never could do or say anything about it. Now it was different. She slept with him, she had never felt anything quite like it.

She looked down at the man below her, pleasured to the point of ecstasy and rolled over beside him. She decided to tell his friend that it was him.

The look of horror on Nick's face she will never forget, not the scorching pain when he beat her and scarred her with his marital ring.

She spent all her money on booze and stopped trying to find work. She now understood really what she had become. Now all she had left was to blow the labourers for a few dollars and spend it all on drinks and drugs.

A car drove in and stopped in front of her. It was Nick. They parked in a dark street and had sex again. After it, he became disgusted with what he had done and strangled her to death. He kicked her out of the car and left her there as he drove away.

Several years later he died of AIDS.
