The Big Bang Theory.

The Big Bang Theory!

O-> O+ <-O O+ O->

She pulled it out gently 
from inside his white drawers 
wrapping her fingers 
around it in a tight grip.

Holding it snugly 
in her hand she gazed at it 
caressing the length of it.

She boldly stared at the tip 
running her finger over 
the hole and closing her eyes 
worried it might explode 
in her hand without warning. 

She gingerly slid her finger 
around and under and over 
its most curved part 
then lowering her head she slid it 
into her mouth several inches.

Closing her lips as it entered 
she tasted its tang, 
a bit of warm oil caressed 
her tongue and she swallowed it.

She trembled as she slid it 
all the way in and held it there. 
the excitement and fear was palpable 
she knew what was to come, 
and was sure the end was near.

Suddenly she pulled down hard 
near where she gripped it 
only to hear a loud 
and disappointing click in response. 

She pulled harder five more times 
in desperation and still 
found no satisfaction. 

Removing it from her mouth 
she realized the gun was empty.

Her husband knowing how she'd been 
despondent over her recent loss 
of a baby they had sired 
had the foresight to wisely
remove all the bullets 
and put them somewhere safe. 

She placed the gun back 
in the white drawer and sighed. 

Slipping under the sheets 
she chased a dreamless sleep 
living to see another day.
plus three more lovely children, 
as she traveled forward 
down a road that had 
led her past her 
route .44 Magnum to hell.
