The Cop and the Secretary (A Tentacles of Chaos Story‪)‬

Detective James Arbuthnot is just trying to do his job – close out the file on an investigation that is no longer relevant. The woman, Anna, who disappeared, is back home; everything seems to be back to normal. Then Karen opens the door of her condo. Arbuthnot thinks she's pretty but fat. Karen decides to give the officer a different perspective – and an experience of the Other.

This short story describes Detective Arbuthnot's attempts to interview Karen, a potential witness to the disappearance of her friend, Anna. Despite his best efforts, the detective is distracted by thoughts and fantasies of a sexual nature. Are they his thoughts and fantasies or is Karen exerting a strange influence on him? While Arbuthnot is not exactly a politically correct modern male – as you will see from his internal monologue – he is a dedicated police professional. This encounter – and much else – is also described in Being in Time, Bound in Space, the second book of The Tentacles of Chaos.

This story is graphic in nature and is intended for adults only. All characters depicted in sexually explicit scenes are over 18 years old.
