the lust

lust ('l&st)

A perversion of the noblest of human emotions, Lust is the basest and most disturbing of the sins. Where love is coupled with a desire to share equally between partners, Lust is intersted only in taking for itself. It is a petty and selfish thing, and it revels in the degradation of others. While not as outwardly dangerous as some other sins, Lust is easily the most perverse, warping its hosts into animalistic mockeries of their former selves. Lust joins a man and a woman together into a single, two-backed beast, a simbiotic organism with a physiology based on selfishness and desire.

The male half of Lust is a constant consumer, a taker without sympathy or shame. It feeds on its female half to compensate for its own lack of substance. It binds her with leash and chains to elevate its own sense of power and importance. Tubes run from the woman's exposed brain and breasts to a mask strapped to the male half's face, from which he liberally drinks and feeds. He cannot speak with his mask on, but he has no desire to; communication is an aspect of love, not Lust. His eyes remain uncovered so that he can revel in the degredation of his prize.

The female half's eyes are covered; the female aspect of Lust has no need of its eyes. Its ears, however, remain pristene and its hearing sharp. Unfortunately, this does her no good because of her male counterpart's inability to speak. All that her exceptional sense of hearing rewards her with are the sounds of her own cries.

One-sided though this relationship may seem, the female half of Lust gives herself willingly to the male. She does this for the sensations of protection and belonging that the male gives her, and, to an extent, because she knows that in being dominated she and the male will be eternally bound. A single organism, the male half can never pull itself free from the female once joined.
