Excerpt from Dear Vito
By Mickey Z.
"Oh my God, Samantha, you are fuckin' incredible!"

Hemming's eyes are closed tightly now and he has no idea that Davey has entered the room. In his left hand, Davey holds the remote control to the stereo. In his right hand, Davey holds an open can of Drano (not sure where he found it but hey…). Aiming the clicker to increase the volume of the music just as Samantha intensifies her oral ministrations, causing Hemming to open wide in a bellow of passion. Davey drops the remote and rubs himself before pouring the entire contents of the Drano can into Hemming's open mouth.
Hemming begins to gasp, choke, and scream in utter agony. However, it is all drowned out when Davey grabs the remote and clicks the volume up a few more notches. Samantha continues to fellate Hemming as Davey calmly watches the display of tortuous pain. On the TV, Ruth St. Ruth (remember her from CPR for Dummies?) is seen lying naked in a bed of one hundred dollar bills.
Hemming spits blood to the ceiling and begs for mercy, his body straining and tugging at the handcuffs to no avail. He stares directly at Davey, his plea for help nothing more than a silent mouthing of words while Samantha's head bobs up and down between his legs like a piston. With one last sorrowful look towards Samantha, Hemming dies.
Samantha doesn't even notice. She is lost now in a netherworld of sexual deviance and she continues her oral assault on Hemming's still-erect member. As Davey begins to unzip his pants, the thugs inch towards the room, guns drawn. They kick in the door.
Two bullets strike Davey in the head and chest. He is propelled backward by the force, bounces off the far wall and then back towards the bed until his dead body lands crossways on Hemming's chest. One of the thugs yanks Samantha away from Hemming's crotch by her hair. The other thug turns off the stereo. The TV can now be heard.
"You can stop now, hon."
"But he didn't come yet," Samantha pleads, straining violently to get her lips back down between Hemming's lifeless thighs.
"I'm sure you're good, baby," the thug chuckles, "but not that good. This one is a lost cause. Now take a walk before you get yourself in more trouble."

Samantha, dazed and covered in Davey's blood, pulls on her dress and leaves.
