Dubois body stiffened when, looking over the rim of his glass, he noted Lila Ross, enter the bar and walk in his direction, however, it wasn't with nervousness, but excitement. Apart from the night he'd snuck into their residence, this was about to be the closest he'd come to the woman, and this time she'd be awake, and although he'd seen her naked, with her legs spread, and sopping pink cunt, exposed to his eyes, he'd been unable to touch.

Not so much from the thought of fucking her, but for the fact that the green

Mark smiled when she did, and shot her a self-deprecating shrug, as if to say that she'd caught him out, when Lila commented about his being sorry.

"Truth be told, I'm not that sorry, I don't know your husband, though I do know what it's like to live an unhappy marriage." A lie, and if he was to hear about her divorce before Tom, then they were even, because Lila Ross would not yet be aware that the Detective's superiors had already decided to remove his badge and gun, and kick him out of the force. The man would be lucky to obtain a job working security at the mall, and after the divorce from Lila went through, to continue the comfortable middle-class existence that he'd become accustomed to, and who would he blame for that? No-one else than the bitch now sitting across from Mark Dubious, smiling and flirting with a strange man. Tom Ross was just fortunate that Mark was here to ensure those assets would never need to be split. He'd need to have a chat to Tom about

"Hopefully, the evening will lead to a memorable experience for both of us," Mark replied, making his intent obvious, but never being too forward about it, or attempting to pressure her, and waiting for Lila to empty her glass, before he did the same with his, and turned back to the

    It was a fucking wild goose-chase. The stalker had planted the email address, and buried it deep in his communications with his last victim, and whilst the Detective spent the entire night interrogating a wheelchair-bound retired schoolteacher, the incident with Lila was filed away at the back of his mind. Eventually, not long before the break of dawn, they'd departed Harold Greer's apartment complex, and he and Jarrod parted company. Only when Tom was alone again did the evening's events come back to prey in his thoughts causing queasy, sick sensation to return to his stomach, and for his throat to tighten tightened in fear.…

    Knee's scrabbling in the dirt, and his chest heaving, Oxenham felt the bile rising in his throat, mingled with the bitter taste of alcohol from the previous evening's soiree as he reacted to the sight of the mangled woman. Why had he agreed to come here, what had he expected? In the back of his mind were the reasons he'd explained to his lover, but right at this moment, they seemed a distance away. It had only been his ego talking, yes let's go see a dead body, it'll be fun, and a way to prove myself, not just to my employer, but also to my lover. However, what the man couldn't have known was that there was a big difference between reading about the vile acts, and hearing about a woman's inenstimes having been ripped out, and actually seeing…

    According to Psychologytoday.com, the term “Desire” derives itself from the Latin word Desiderare, meaning, ‘To long or wish for’. Desires are often regarded as sexual, lustful urges for pleasure and satisfaction. However, our desires can be a result of personal insecurities that we may feel and in turn, we desire to feel secure and comfortable at any costs. A Streetcar Named Desire written by Tennessee Williams is a play that displays the theme of “desire” in many scenes but not only in a sexual way. Desire is shown within the play through Stanley’s desire for power and control, Blanche’s desire for security and her desire to live in a fantasy world.…

    Death in A Streetcar Named Desire Tennessee Williams uses the theme of death continually in the play ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ through the use of dramatic imagery and literal references. The characters of Blanche and Mitch are used the most frequently to express Williams’ own obsession with death. Though neither of the characters actually obsesses about death, Blanche’s life has been smothered by the deaths of those she loves and the coming death of Mitch’s mother is an obvious motivation for his actions. Blanche first voices the theme of death in the very first scene whilst discussing the fate that has befallen Belle Reve.…
