Consider the sack of oranges unsacking themselves and walking around like little round persons investigating the world along with the elaborate growls of its inhabitants. Chak felt Breop's buttery arms around her and smilingly returned her squeezing of her while Ftyd growled in his sleep at the elaborate plot to find the impressionable ants eating oranges and eventually hibernating in them as round sunly houses lumped sackly together.

A cold baby.

A hope caught in the sucked body of a man.

Straw wrapped flannel in a field.

That is night.
That is night.
That is night.

The first night she slept with the egg under her pillow, hugging. She woke with the huge toy in her mouth. Her chest felt funny and she could not remember sleeping. She later found the garage filled with an inch of liquid. The liquid stunk and had to be scraped out. The mother watched the father on his knees for hours scowling with the trowel.

He kissed her, plundering first her mouth, then her ear and the hollow of her throat
He ravaged her mouth with heady thrusts of his tongue, and when that no longer satisfied him, he swept his hands down her neck to shove her gown free of her shoulders so he could strafe her bared flesh with urgent, openmouthed caresses

Discourses surrounding Snuff fiction are foremost concerned with the issue of authenticity, even though there is no known real Snuff film on which to base the tropes expected of these simulations. Clearly, these assumptions have been founded on discourses of cinema vérité, documentary realism and so forth. The methodologies of mediating and constructing portrayals of reality have become increasingly familiar to a mass audience since the mid-1990s due to the rise in what Eric Cazdyn refers to as "reality culture" (Cazdyn, 2002), where reality TV, surveillance footage, amateur porn, and home movies distributed via YouTube have become staples of popular visual entertainment. Faced with the ubiquity of reality in visual media, the pseudo-Snuff film has its work cut out in trying to appear "real."

And if then the tyrants dare
Let them ride among you there,
Slash, and stab, and maim, and hew, -
What they like, that let them do.
