A quickie in the same world as "The Director," just for fun. I haven't thought too much about willing prey, but it's not hard to see how likely it would be with Queen Becky.
But willingness doesn't mean it's easy or fun.
EDIT: Now about 5.5k words. I wrote this originally on a whim, and tried to keep it brief. While I captured most of the action, I think I missed a lot of the detail and emotional response that were important when I imagined it. Hopefully this version is a little more impactful (and not full of quite so many typos!)

Nice to see more of this setting.
Now lets see Becky's perspective of herself and the world that serves her.

That's less likely, since Queen Becky belongs to someone else. :)

A wonderful vignette to round out Beckyverse a little more! The setting has the firmness of premise and the nuance of its internal workings to qualify as a subgenre of its own, although the original story is fully self-sufficient. Thanks for the treat, anyway! Particularly the revivification of the old Director's endearingly harassed daily routine!
Excellent exchange between Becky and her self-styled tribute; her languid way of dominating the conversation and keeping the guy on his toes, even though ostensibly he has prepared himself for the worst, is utterly lovely, and the descriptions of the intimacy between the two is as intriguing and suspenseful as anything in the mother story.
The cramped car interior analogy had occurred to me a couple of weeks before the reading, it's very apt! With or without the walrus!

Thank you for the kind comments and suffering through the typos! The muse for this setting and I have been talking about it at length, more than usual since before I wrote the other story, so there are other concepts percolating around in my head surrounding it, but I don't know that they'd necessarily make for a good story. We'll see! They're more... metaphysical, maybe?

Metaphysical exploration would be good; that's how the genre boundaries become its new dimensions!
Happy to learn new things are brewing for this setting!

One of the best swallowing sequence I ever read :)
