Jane’s needle was blunter. She could not get it to
break the skin. She repeatedly had to jab the
point at the other nub. She poked and prodded
the needle into his meaty flesh. Each failed
attempt brought a terrified whine from her throat,
each stab made him wince, hiss with pain. His

she pushed and pricked at the hardened nub with

more viciously, she put a finger on the other side
of his firm nub to hold it, squeezed him between

pushed the needle in.

Tarzan’s head was back on the trunk, neck
arched against the grinding ache. His face
contorted with the pricking of the needle jabbing at
his hardened skin. His muscled upper body was
tight with the pain of her jamming the needle into

pained and crackling flashes of arousal up his
cock. Unwanted pricklings burst with each stab at
the tip of its head. Sweat formed on his brow, his
whole body a taut mass of straining muscle.
Breath held, ragged grunts escaping his tightened
throat.
A cry erupted from his pain-closed throat when
she broke in. When her needle broke through his
pain-hardened nipple. A cry of relief. Followed by
a loud inward hiss of pain as her cactus needle
ripped through nerves, set his chest on fire and
smacked thunderbolts to his balls. Shudders of
lighting flashed to the tip of his shaft.

Distressed at the pain she was inflicting, Jane
looked at her lover, sobs bursting on her every
short gasping breath. His face was covered in his
sweat, twisted with the unstoppable burning in his
crutch. His chest rising and falling. Covered with
his sweat, the pain she had painted him in. Fast
and hard came his every tortured breath.
His groin exposed, his cock hard. And Jane saw
Kwami’s eyes alight with fire. A tongue licked at
his lips. And in that moment, she knew this was
not over, there was more to come.


(Jane’s intuition is right. There is, much more.
But she’ll wait for another Variation.)

Others, the younger ones especially, wanted to
hear his cries. Desperately wanted to be the first
to make him cry out. Frenetic beatings at the
burning arse, rabidly lashing away without a
break. Wildly slashing at his pain-streaked arse.
A stinging bite sending the apeman jolting into the
trunk. His groans lifted to grunts that then shot to
pained gasps. But sounds of pain that were

frenetically slicing into burning flesh. Whipping
and lashing, sweat pouring until the attacker
collapsed and could do no more. Till they had to
hand the apeman over, tired out, gasping for
breath and laughing with friends at the frenzy of
their attack.

Jane could scarcely see for her tears. She’d cried
out several times at her lover’s shouts of pain.
She’d called out to Kwami pleading for him to
stop. But Kwami just stood watching, his eyes
ablaze with the sounds of pain shooting in the air.
His eyes filled with the crimson flaring on Tarzan’s
naked backside.

Jane thought Tarzan must have taken over a
hundred swipes there. She saw Kwami - unable
to stop himself - extended his hand towards
Tarzan’s sweated punished skin. Hot, crimson,
burning bright. And then in mock play-acting, he
whipped his hand away as if he’d touched burning
coals. Some of Kwami’s men roared out at the
joke. Jane bit down a sob. A joke at Tarzan’s
suffering expense. They were slapping arms
around each other’s shoulders, were bent over
double laughing at her lover’s hurt. And the next
man, encouraged, slashed with added ferocity at
the crimson backside. Roars of laughter burst
from the circle of cruel men. Triumphant over her
helpless Tarzan’s suffering.

But worse, she’d noticed worse. She’d seen a
terrifying look in some men’s eyes. At the sight of
Tarzan’s whip-lashed backside, the shuddering as
shock disabled his body. And she could not fail to
notice how that sight had brought bulges in some
men’s loins. This celebration of Tarzan’s sweated

violently from side-to-side. His apeman’s body
riven by absolute pain.

Jane knelt at Kwami’s leg, her hands clutched
over her ears so as not to hear any more the pain
erupting from her man.
“He’ll not need those again”, he threw down at
her.

Kwami showed her again what he was made of,
the man she would serve in his hut. His power-
punch again crunched at the captive’s pain-loaded
balls. Tarzan’s cry flew up into the air. Birds took

utter agony would not be drowned out. His tight

torment, torture-riven in every nook of his body,
ripped apart by the pains of hell, his bawl burst
long and curdling. His yells of agony were ripped
out of every torment-flooded muscle in his body.

“Please! No more!”
Kwami looked down at Jane sneering for this
woman slobbering for her hero. Her arms were
wrapped tight around his leg. Her face pressed
against his buttock, her hot imploring tears wet
against his skin. He threw another glance of
contempt at his captive. Eyes screwed tight with
his pain, mouth wide open in a silent scream of
pain, shoulders and chest shaken with the pain
ripping through him. Tarzan defeated. The lord of
the jungle vanquished by him.

Jane overcame her horror of this monster torturing
her man. In terror for Tarzan, she clutched at
Kwami’s leg sobbing, begging for mercy, pleading
for her man. She offered any, anything if he’d
stop. She gasped, she felt again a tenseness in
Kwami’s leg. Horror-struck, she felt Kwami’s body
lift. Jane shot out another cry. “No! Please no!”
She saw in her mind’s eye his arm raised, the
knuckled fist poised. She saw razor-sharp her

inside. And she feared for him when these
monsters started again.




Note:
That’s it, the final Variation. The unplanned one,
the one inspired by Tom Mellish’s scene
(Message 1390). My heart-felt thanks to Tom for
the help. I’ve never “done gut-punching” before.
Without him, it wouldn’t have happened. The
power of interaction between group members!.

Variation 11 turned bleak. Some of the other
Variations too were pretty devastating for our
hero. Increasingly so towards the end, perhaps a
bit too much for some people’s taste. Sorry, I
don’t mean to offend - but our boy does live on.

He’s now on the beach.
And time for some R&R. He’s on the beach.
Time to stretch out, feel the hot sand under his
back. Time to listen to the swish of the surf. Time
to let the sun work its wonders on his injured skin.
But, as we have been repeatedly warned, our boy
is about to face the ultimate challenge of his life.

First a word of caution.
Remember the structure:
One beginning, one end and each reader chooses
his preferred Variations in the middle. The ending
cannot take into account the multiple options that
each reader will choose. For example, the ending
cannot allow for whether this last gut-punching
happened – and the consequent damage carried
forward into the ending. And every reader is
entitled to his own choices.
Take pity on the author, you have to carry forward
the effects of your chosen Variations into your
own fantasy version of the ending.
