Guess What Day It Is!

‘THUD!’

Adagio and Aria flinched as the door in front of them heaved slightly towards them, the slivers of light that peeked around it and the frame shifting in the darkness they found themselves in.

There was a moment when she was distracted… Where they tried to make their escape. Perhaps if the two had split up at least one of them would have made it, but something… perhaps love or even fear kept the women’s hands firmly clasped together.

The two women had tried to take their leave. To go far, far away… But either planning, dumb luck, or the sheer amount of material at her disposal, every window and door was blocked. Blocked by things Adagio and Aria did not have the time or stomach capacity to get through.

‘THUD!’

Aria swallowed as she felt her heart pump fast and her chest and her inside roils like thousands of tiny little pinpricks dancing through her digestive system. Although she had always considered herself the strongest of the three Dazzlings, somehow she couldn’t help but wrap her arms around Adagio and hold on tight finding the odd comfort in the pair of arms also wrapped around her and the abundance of hair that filled the closet. “That door will hold, right?” Aria said in a frightened, if barely hopeful tone. “Just… Or I mean… She’ll at least get bored and move on to something else… Toddlers have more focus than her…”

‘THUD!’

After a lengthy pause, Adagio shook her head. “I don’t think so, Aria… Not today…” Adagio chuckled in a dark tone that sent shivers down Aria’s spine. Aria had heard all manner of smug and even outright evil laughter from Adagio, but this was utterly unlike anything Aria had heard before. The laugh sounded… hollow, defeated even.

Adagio continued, “We were fools not to pay attention to the signs… We knew she could be a tad obsessive and unhinged but…” Adagio sighed heavily. “Everything was right there in front of us and we stupidly went on thinking we’d be safe…”

‘THUD!’

The women’s bodies tensed as they somehow huddled together even closer than before, both let out pained groans as the pressure on their insides built. Still, they clung to each other in the near pitch-blankness of the tiny room.

Adagio spoke in a soft tone, barely above a whisper “It was just… the perfect storm… the perfect combination to finally send her off the deep end…”

‘THUD!’

The tense feeling of pressure outside the door and inside Aria seemed to only increase, and her heart continued to race in her chest. Out of ways she thought she’d go out this was… was… Okay, this was admittedly pretty near the top of untimely ends she could have expected. Regardless, this might be her last opportunity to share her true feelings with the woman holding on tightly to her. “Dagi… Adagio… If we don’t make it out of this… I just want you to know… That I hate you… but damn if I don’t find you strangely sexy.”

Adagio paused momentarily then looked at Aria with wide, surprised eyes. “That’s the best thing you could have said to me…”

Aria nodded and held onto Adagio tighter. “I know Adagio, I know…”

With on more solid ‘THUD!’ the wood splintered and the door fell eschew out of its frame. The two women clutched each other all the tighter as it was slowly opened, light flooding into the little closet around the silhouette of a woman with a ponytail and a wedge-shaped item held in her right hand.

Adagio looked up at Sonata with a pleading look as Aria buried her face in Adagio’s mass of curls. “Please, Sonata…” Adagio said. “Just… Let us have a breather… A few hours at least…”

“No…” Sonata said in a cold whisper. “Time is running out, and you two still have so much to finish before we’re through.”

Although Aria couldn’t see, she was sure Sonata was smiling. Smiling that mad smile beyond all reason and sanity. She heard the crinkling of paper and that’s when she accepted that her fate was sealed.

Maniacal laughter poured from Sonata’s mouth and spilled out into the tiny closet, overflowed into the house spilling over hallways littered with taco wrappers and sauce packets. It flowed over tables, desks, and counter every inch covered in tex-mex, street, and even the dreaded fish taco.

Against her better judgement, Aria glanced up at Sonata and felt the spicy pit in her stomach grow even bigger. There was no mercy, no chance of respite in Sonata’s eyes.

In fact, there was nothing… Nothing but tacos.

Happy National Taco Day on Taco Tuesday Everyone!

There is no escape!
