Funraiser

Chapter 1

It was another great shopping day on Horston street in Manehattan. Warm buttery yellow sunlight covered the ponies strolling down the street. Some ponies stopped to gawk at the fine items on display in the windows while another pony looked at them.

A grey coated, blonde maned and tailed unicorn with green eyes was checking out the plots of the cute pegasi mares that walked by him or checked out the items in the stores. He knew he should be at his desk designing new puzzles for Curiousium Products, or Curio, but Puzzlesolver, Puzzle for short, had lost his inspiration. Puzzle was out of fresh ideas for cool puzzles and games. This was his dream job but today it just seemed like Snoozeville.

When he was a foal, Puzzle showed a great interest in puzzles. As a colt he even made his own puzzles and games. One of them attracted the interest of a salespony for Curio, it did not take long before Puzzle got his dream job. Puzzle’s cutie mark was of a puzzle piece.

Puzzle was not too concerned about his loss of inspiration, slow periods were pretty common for him. His remedy was to just go with it for a while until the ideas started flowing again. A bit of partying at the local singles bar seemed like a good way to spark some ideas.

While Puzzle was thinking about partying, his hooves led him down a dark side street. He took a look at the decrepit buildings and wondered how he got here. This is the type of place that a pony could get robbed or worse, Puzzle fearfully thought. Seeing a dirty blue stallion lying in its own filth while it drank from a bottle of hard cider did nothing to make Puzzle feel safer. While Puzzle looked around for a way out, his eyes fell upon a Curio store. His fears about being robbed evaporated while he cantered to the store.

He stopped in front of a store with some interesting items in the windows. A lot of the items were worn, but they carried their age gracefully. Let's see what I can find here, he thought.

Inside the store, it was dim and cozy. Puzzle wondered if the storekeep kept the lights on low to hide the flaws of the items. Something about this store seemed out of place. He again thought about heading home but curiosity got the better of him.

He inspected a set of shiny alphabet cubes that were made of dark rare woods. They were so shiny, Puzzle could see parts of his face reflected on them. At sixteen hundred bits, these blocks would go right into a safe or a fancy display. No foal was going to be chewing or abusing these expensive toys.

The other items looked good too, but their prices were definitely beyond Puzzle's wallet. He had an expense account but only for buying work related items or research. The pretty things in the front of the store were not in his price range.

Puzzle was looking at a Chutes and Ladders board made out of mahogany and other rare pale woods, when he heard a discreet cough. He looked up and saw an elderly pegasus stallion looking at him from over the counter. The stallion was beige with faded blue eyes and dark brown mane and tail.

"How can I help you Sir?" The storekeeper asked.

"Do you have other games and puzzles?" Puzzle asked with curiosity.

"Yes," The storekeeper pointed his left fore hoof at a ebony and ivory chess set.

It featured Celestia and her court versus Nightmare Moon and her court. There was no price tag. Puzzle had a pretty good idea that the chess set was beyond his means.

The storekeeper showed Puzzle a gold and black puzzle box. For a second, a voice inside Puzzle warned him to leave but he ignored it. The way the light slid around the different raised areas and slunk in the cavities entranced Puzzle.

A familiar warmth started to kindle in his groin. This was something he wanted. No, desired a lot like a willing pegasus mare. Puzzle looked away to regain his composure, but each time he would look back, the desire would grow again. He thought about taking the puzzle box home and rubbing himself on it. Again Puzzle tried to calm himself down. Even taking a few deep breaths did not work too well.

"Would you like to purchase the puzzle box. Sir?" The storekeeper asked discreetly.

Puzzle was sure he heard something in the storekeeper's voice. Maybe a bit of hunger for a sale or something else. Puzzle knew that if he could afford the box, it was coming home with him like the mares he hooked up with.

"How much?" Puzzle asked.

It was going to be dear. He just knew it.

"Eight hundred bits Sir," The storekeeper replied politely.

The price was too expensive for Puzzle's wallet but OK for the expense account. The next few minutes were a blur like Puzzle’s mind just fast forwarded to the part where he was galloping home with his new infatuation. He tried to remember what happened in the store but the memories faded like fog on a sunny day.

Puzzle's Apartment

Finally, it was in his room. He toyed with drinking a brandy and turning the lights down low, but this was not that kind of party. Bright lights were needed so he could see what he was doing.

The box was covered with studs and or buttons that needed to be pressed, clicked or pressed and slid. He would have to press, click and slide the buttons or studs in the right sequence and the box would open up to him like a willing mare. His hooves were too big to handle all the studs and buttons. Puzzle would have to use telekinesis on the box.

Puzzle used his telekinesis to push a button.The box made a harsh noise that hurt his ears. He pulled a notepad and a quill next to him so he could take notes. After getting a few bad notes, he got a good one, the sound stroked his ears.

Most of the night was spent getting the box to open. If he made a mistake, the box would go to the default cube form and he had to do everything all over again. After hours of fussing with the box, Puzzle knew he was getting close to solving it. There were two buttons left to press, if he got this one right, the other one would open the box. He touched it with his telekinesis, a sweet chime stroked him but not only in the ears but parts south of there. Puzzle was glad his coworkers could not see him in this excited state. He hit the last button and a chime sounded. It went to his core and Puzzle exploded and kept on exploding. The orgasm went on for a while.

When Puzzle came out of his afterglow, he was lying in a pool of cold sticky semen. The box now looked like a diamond. The top rotated and slid down. Black metallic chains spewed out of the top. Puzzle felt barbed hooks tear into his legs and lift him up until he was spreadponied halfway up to the ceiling. The pain was so bad Puzzle could only gasp and pant in agony.

The room shook and cracks appeared in the wall in front of him. Pictures of his family and friends fell down and shattered their frames with a crash. The windows in his room started to emit darkness. A doorway appeared in the middle of the wall. Puzzle coughed when a breeze smelling of rotten candy blew on him. All he could see was shadow for a few seconds then he saw a pink pony walking through the darkness. Broken candy canes stuck out of her bald pink head. Cold blue eyes looked back at Puzzle. She walked up to him.

"You have opened the box and now we will have FUN," The strange mare said with a mix of malice and glee.

There was too much hunger in that statement.

"W-w-who are you?" Puzzle asked with fear.

"Oh, did I not introduce myself? You can call me Canehead. We shall explore Fun together," Canehead said with a giggle.

The chains jerked. It hurt so bad, Puzzle almost passed out. Then they relaxed and started to lower him to the floor. They stopped when he was just above Canehead. He could smell her scent.

It was a mix of frisky mare and candy with vile things mixed in. Some of the scents were attractive. Puzzle could feel himself getting aroused again. Canehead touched him with her left fore hoof. Puzzle was almost ready to explode again.

The chains lowered Puzzle so his face was inches away from Canehead's. She grinned and it was like being hit with a bat of crazy.
Puzzle's mind was under an onslaught of images involving ponies, candy, torture and pleasure. Ponies having their intestines turned to strawberry flavored ropes. Eyes dunked in boiling hot dark chocolate and given back to their owners to sear their heads. Other ponies being dissected by sharp shards of peppermint. It was too much, he screamed.

Puzzle found himself standing in front of Canehead. The chains were gone. He did not remember how he got on his hooves.

"Are you ready to come with me? We have all eternity to explore Fun together," Canehead said with such grim happiness.

"No, no, no!" Puzzle screamed.

"They all say that but after a while they start having Fun," Canehead said with glee.

"Can we work something out?" Puzzle asked, desperation filled his voice.

"Why? I want you," Canehead said with a lecherous smile and wink.

That look added more fuel to Puzzle's fear.

"H-h-how about I find you ponies that are willing to play with you?" Puzzle offered with a desperate note in his voice.

Canehead thought for a second.

"If you find me ponies to play with, I will not take you," Canehead said with a grin.

"Lets seal this with a kiss!" Canehead said with enthusiasm.

She jammed her face into Puzzle's and forced her tongue through his teeth. It was horrible, there was the taste of rotting candy and other disgusting things being thrust into his mouth. Some of it excited Puzzle to the point of him exploding into orgasms again. Behind the orgasms, he knew he was damned forever.
