Mixed Emotions

[BattlesandDeaths]

          The two men faced each other, fists clenched and anger raging.  They had been lifelong friends, but the newly introduced presence of a woman made their hormones broil.  

          The fought long and hard.  Their bulging muscles throbbed, and flexed as they struggled against each other.  The woman merely watched on.  Their coveting of the woman's hand matched with their passionate jealously for the other fueled their rage.

          Jake had gotten the upper-hand, beating Corey against the fence.  Corey turned away, sparing his handsome young face from the onslaught of Jake's fists.  After a couple of minutes, Jake grabbed the spear out of the woman's hands and rammed it through Corey's back.

           The spear pierced all the way through the man.  Corey's body arched backwards as the spear plunged through his bowels and out of his gut.  Jake shoved more of the spear through for good measure, bringing Corey up on his toes as pain ripped through his gut.

          Jake went to the woman, leaving his former friend bleeding profusely with the spear through his handsome young body.   

          Through his anger, Corey was able to regain his thought.  If he couldn't be with the woman, he would be with Jake.  He slowly turned to face Jake whose back was turned to him.  Corey then began running at his handsome companion.

          Jake heard the footsteps and turned to see Corey charging him, but was too slow to dodge the sharp tip of the spear.  It drove deep into his abs.  Jake let out a loud yell and Corey winced as the spear that was sticking out of his body penetrated into his friend's gut.

          The two stood there, facing each other.  Their bowels burning with shocks of pain.  They stared into each other's eyes.  Sensing the pain, hurt, desire and lust.  Their bodies began failing and their knees buckled as the two fell to the ground.  Corey tried to push himself up and off the spear, but it was too much.

          Finally, the two succumbed and died, their bodies pressed against each other.  Neither had won the woman, but they had won each others' companionship.
