YEAR ONE The toddler set on the ground. The light plane from which he had been thrown free on impact was burning fiercely just a few yards away, consuming the bodies of his parents. Miraculously unhurt, and too shocked even to cry, he stared fixedly at the flames. The lioness was sated on hartebeest. The young mammal sitting in front of her evoked maternal instincts rather than the normal desire to kill and eat. The infant made no attempt to flee as she gently lifted it with her teeth by its outer garment and, with her own cub by her side, padded back into the undergrowth. YEAR SEVEN The lioness had died. Long since detached from her pride, the lion she had born and the human child she had reared were now alone in the world. But the lion had strength and speed and the boy had guile. They would survive. YEAR NINE The boy and the lion lived in a cave in a rocky outcrop overlooking a clearing with a waterhole where all the animals of Africa seemed to come to drink. The boy had taught himself to make spears which he would sharpen to a fine point with a flint. He rarely killed animals with them, but could wound them so that they were easy for the lion to bring to ground. Between them they would then drag the beast back to their lair and gorge themselves. Already the boy’s physical development and strength showed well beyond his years. Every waking moment was spent in some form of physical endeavour. He drove himself to be stronger than the strongest ape and quicker than the fastest cheetah. Indeed, he could already uproot medium sized saplings. Tomorrow, he would tackle larger boulders. The boy had developed a basic vocabulary with which to tell the lion what to do as they stalked their pray: the lion understood his words for "wait", "go", "come back", "left", "right" and, of course, "kill". The boy had a name for the lion too. The lion answered to "Ktah". While the old lioness was alive, the boy and the lion cub had been taught how to play with their prey, letting them escape for a while, then felling them again, delaying the coup de grace until the prey was too exhausted and wounded to run any further. The boy lacked the lions' genes which made such activity an integral element of their survival techniques. For him, the play was a source of pure pleasure. He loved the look of fear in a young eland's eyes as they toyed with it. The sense of power - literally life-and-death power - over another living being was exhilarating beyond belief. And never more so than when the prey was another primate - a young baboon, say, or better still a young chimpanzee. The boy’s loins burned with a strange fire when he used his great strength to dispatch a weaker subspecies. Nights in the cave could be cold, but the boy had developed a covering of dark hair all over his body and the lion would provide him with all the additional warmth he needed. YEAR TWELVE The boy was growing rapidly. He already had the frame of an 18-year-old but, with his matted coat of body-hair, could have been much older. His sexual organs were now fully developed and a source of increasing fascination to him. He derived pleasure from stroking his flaccid penis until it became as firm as a rock and then drawing the protective hood of skin backwards and forwards over the crown until a great feeling of bliss overcame him and thick white liquid spurted out of the large head. He could repeat the divine pastime many times but now there was an overtly sexual dimension to the pleasure he derived from trapping small mammals and playing with them, sometimes for hours on end, until either he or Ktah dispatched them. To possess a maimed and terrified chimpanzee, to wound it time and again while the rest of its tribe screeched with fear and rage from nearby trees, and then to tear off its limbs one by one while it was still alive - such experiences brought the boy's penis to its fullest possible erection. On one such occasion, some primal instinct told the boy that the body of the chimp provided a better mechanism for sexual release than his own hand. Having used his flint to cut one of the chimp's legs from its body and thrown it to the patient Ktah as a snack, he up-ended the ape and plunged his penis into its anus. The sensation of having part of his own body embedded within this screaming animal which he would shortly be devouring guaranteed early and generous ejaculations. For all his conscious life, the boy had shared everything with Ktah - his adoptive mother, his cave, his food, his body warmth. He now wished to share the feelings of power, exhilaration and sexual ecstasy which he derived from mutilating, raping, killing and eating animals - not always in that order. First, though, he needed to establish whether a lion could be made to feel the same sexual pleasure from the stimulation of its penis as he enjoyed. The boy had always played rough games with Ktah, occasionally getting bruised and scratched, but never getting badly hurt. One evening, at the end of one such bout of rough-and-tumble, as boy and lion were recovering their breath, the boy gently started to stroke the lion's penis. At first the lion drew back, but the boy persevered and soon won Ktah's confidence. The boy's now expert attentions soon coaxed the lion's penis to a firm, vivid red erection - quite a bit longer than the boy's own though surprisingly not as thick. Ktah lay on its side, panting with its tongue lolling from its mouth, while the boy brought it to a full emission. The boy enjoyed the taste of his own fluids and had no hesitation in swallowing as much of Ktah's as he could manage. Training the lion to rape other animals took a little longer. The boy had to start with beasts which were already dead or at least unconscious, but the lion was a good learner. Whether he performed as well as he did because he derived the same pleasure from the act as the boy, or simply because he was anxious to please the boy in any way he could, he was soon adept at ravaging animals on command. Typically, the boy would wait quietly in a hide, playing with his erect penis in anticipation of the joys to come while waiting for a troop of chimpanzees to pass by. Around his waist would be a crude belt fashioned from creepers to which were affixed his little flint axe, honed to razor sharpness, a couple of short spears and a rudimentary sling, also made out of creepers. When a male ape was within his range, he would load the sling with a stone and let fly. He almost always managed to bring the animal of his choice crashing to the ground without killing or maiming it, which would have been no fun at all. Only then would he summon Ktah. The boy sensed that chimps were closer relations in the animal kingdom to himself than lions or antelopes, and this helped to explain the passion with which he set about them. But he somehow knew that even chimps were not really of his kind, and that the pleasure he would get if one of his own species were ever to fall into his hands would be vastly greater than anything he had yet experienced. It was to be a further five years before such an opportunity presented itself. YEAR SEVENTEEN "Oh Dan, how could you be so foolish? Oh God, what are we going to do?" Dora Casey was now almost hysterical with anger and fear - anger at her husband's stupidity in allowing their jeep to run out of gas while they were miles from civilisation, fear for their lives and those of her two sons as they faced, heaven knows what challenges, stranded in the middle of the African bush. She had never wanted to go on this safari holiday in the first place. It was only Dan's insistence and the boundless enthusiasm of their two sons to see "lions and tigers in the jungle" that swayed her. "I could have sworn I loaded three more cans," Dan muttered. Dora dissolved into floods of tears. The two boys - Damien and Cory - looked nervously at each other. Cory was biting his lower lip and trying not to cry. "Look, we'll be all right," Dan said, speaking more firmly now in an attempt to arrest his wife's hysteria. "We've summoned help on the satellite phone and they've promised to be with us in four or five hours, maximum. We have plenty of water. We haven't seen an animal that can threaten us for hours. There are no lions or rhinos reported to be in this area anyway. We just stay in the jeep and wait. Nothing bad's going to...." "DAD! LOOK!" Shimmering in the heat haze several hundred feet away, two forms were relentlessly approaching the jeep. All four occupants squinted in their attempts to identify what was coming their way. "I think it's a man with a lion," Damien blinked. Longer-sighted than his parents, he soon corrected himself. He felt his loins fill up in disbelief and... "No, I think it's a gorilla and a lion. Dad? There aren't meant to be gorillas in this part of Africa are there?" "Oh my God! Oh my God!" Dora screeched. "We're all going to be eaten alive!" "Stop it at once, Dora. You're scaring the boys unnecessarily. Whatever they are, they'll be more scared of us than we are of them. Just stay put within the jeep everyone. If they do approach, make as much noise as you can to scare them away." The two forms came steadily nearer, the biped at a loping gait, the quadruped trotting at its side. "Dad!" Damien said. "It's not a gorilla, it's not a man either, it's...it's..." "An ape-man! Tarzan!" he breathed in excitement. The figure approaching them was well over six and a half feet tall with the physique of a professional body-builder unlike any the quartet had ever seen. Arms bulging with muscle guarded two massive pecs as large as the steering wheel to which Dan clung. A chest as round as a tree narrowed to an impossibly slim but muscular waist then flared again to quads which could easily crush any beast of the jungle. Two fiery black eyes devoured one of the interlopers after another, mesmerizing the astonished quartet. Lips as thick as its massive brows broadened into a lustful conquering grin. It was stark naked except for a belt made out of creepers from which hung a ferocious armoury of primitive weapons. And it was prodigiously erect, its penis jutting a full foot or more upwards and outwards from its loins, a good 8 inches at the widest circumference. From the inch long piss slit, white precum thicker than slimy cream oozed over a cockhead as large as its swaying ballsacs. With animal openness, it squeezed the cockhead pleasurably causing more manpaste to bubble up. Dora was now no longer the only occupant of the jeep to be screaming her lungs out. The ape-man and lion came to a halt just a couple of feet away from the side of the jeep. He surveyed its occupants with mounting excitement. Yes, yes, he thought, this is what I have been waiting for all my life. This is what I was born for. The big pink female animal in the front meant food, but the three pink males meant much more. They promised hours of ecstatic dominating pleasure. He was now disappointed if he failed to keep a young chimp alive for at least two hours after felling it, and was committed to making the experience of mutilating, raping and eating these little cousins of his last much, much longer. But first he needed them out of this hard box. In two strides, he confronted the vehicle. With fists like grappling hooks, he took hold of the bumper and tossed the occupants unceremoniously to the jungle floor. With a quick gesture, he instructed Ktah to guard his catch while he appealed to the jungle with a mighty roar. Already, he thought of a way to begin his hours of enjoyment. As if his appearance had not already established his superiority, he wanted to show the three just how much strength was in these bulging muscles. He took the jeep into two massive arms and rammed it into a nearby tree. Then planting thighs like stumps, ass cheeks flairing, he proceeded to crush the vehicle into the living bark. Metal creaked and moaned as the colossal Apeman forced the hapless vehicle into shapeless debris. Finally satisfied by his wilful destruction, the Apeman was at Dan Casey's side in two strides. He put his huge hams of hands round the man's throat and lifted him off the ground like a leaf. He planted his huge lips over the shocked handsome white man and plunged his snakelike tongue down the man’s throat. He repeated the gesture with the two boys. His cock raged in lustful excitement. He could barely keep from spraying his seed as his nostrils flared when he felt these slim wiry bodies. None of the males spoke as the Apeman looked from one to the other. So excited was the Jungle beast that he took Dan Casey by the ankle and lifted him up high by the ankle. With swipes of his powerful hands, he peeled away the clothes from his prizes. Noticing a sexual response from the oldest, the Apeman devoured his genitals completely, savouring the new and delicious smells. How easily he could have bitten away those precious organs. But he did not. Growing increasingly impatient with the female’s incessant screaming, he picked up a boulder and crashed it down first on Dora's right leg and then on her left, smashing her kneecap and shin-bone in the process. Just like the female adult chimps screeching in the tree canopy he wanted this parent to be alive and conscious whilst he set about her puny males - alive but totally incapacitated. That much of his strategy he had now achieved. Dora lay writhing and wailing in excruciating pain, but fully conscious of everything which was now about to unfold. The ape-man barked an order to the lion: ("Guard her".) Seeing their opportunity to escape, Cory and Damien ran wildly. The Apeman smiled. How foolish these lads were. They would not get far and the older one showed himself willing for at least some of what the Apeman had in mind... Dan Casey was not so quick to try to run, torn by the dilema of his wife. The Apeman, seeing this, began to hiss strangely. He took the confused man in his huge arms and began to hug him tightly. Whenever Dan Casey struggled to move, he felt himself being crushed by the Apeman’s humungous muscle. He felt his penis being stroked, then his arm being squeezed into a vicelike crevice of muscle. Seeing an awed curiosity in the white man’s eyes, the Apeman placed his boulder - sized bicep in front Dan Casey’s face and his black eyes gleamed in male superiority. A deep rumble of sexual urgency shook the Englishman to the core. The Apeman placed the eldest Casey’s hand on one of his gigantic arm muscles, but growled ferociously when the hand was withdrawn. Not to be denied some exquisit foreplay, the Apeman had to be very careful not to crush the father too soon. Before long, Dan Casey was returning the Apeman’s male caressing quite openly, strangely gladdened when he could elicit some gutteral response. Soon, and to Dora Casey’s horror, the Apeman stood, arms akimbo in a display of male dominance as the father worshiped his muscular mounds openly not missing a chance to try and take the Apeman’s raging cockhead into his mouth. In time, the Apeman would crack open Dan Casey’s jaw with the drooling bludgeon. But for now and somewhat playfully, the Apeman rolled the adult male over unto his stomach - Dan might as well resist the elements - as if to start fucking. But the Apeman merely wanted the eldest male to witness the arrival of a seventh to the jungle orgy. The Apeman held Dan by the hair and Dan’s eyes grew big as saucers as he beheld the horror. It was black,thick, sleek and deadly and moved toward them with amazing speed for such a large reptile. The twenty foot anaconda had misunderstood the Apeman’s intentions, thinking Dan was to be its next meal. Instead, the beast king guided the hungry snake towards Dora Casey with a series of hand signals and tongue movements. At first, it looked as if the cruel red eyes of the anaconda were going to hypnotize the terrified woman who had stopped making her annoying shreiking noises. Instead, as the Apeman wrapped Dan’s trembling hands around his mammoth penis, the hungry reptile began to wrap itself inexoribly around the hapless woman. Both men watched mesmerized as the cruel force of nature wrapped itself tighter and tighter. The Apeman’s grip tightened around Dan’s forearm as the muscular beast tightened its hold. “Snap.” Dora Casey’s frail bones began to break as the Apeman unconsciously cracked the bone in Dan Casey’s forearm by squeezing too tight. The Apeman’s seed shot fifteen feet in front of them, coating the dieing woman and snake with thick white manseed. Realizing it was Dan Casey’s loud yelling in his ears, the Apeman looked at him and smiled. The Apeman continued by crushing the screaming Englishman’s hand around his cock, fracturing fingers and wrist to get out the last flow of spunk from his still erect tool. Dan Casey curled up in indescribable pain as the cruel Apeman let go of his mangled fist. He felt the stinging force of something hot and wet on his back and turned to receive a torrent of piss in his face. The jungleman’s flow stopped a minute later as Dan Casey wept uncontrollably. When he turned back, the Apeman was nowhere to be seen.
