Asphyxia - Creepypasta
Miss Asphyxia. That's what they call this terrible ghost of a young girl that appears in the streets of London. The police is still unable to verify these bizarre reports from people all over the many districts of the city and prefers to dismiss them as a waste of time, trying to convince the reporters that it's just their bloody imagination, however, the consistency of these reports has led to creation of a whole file, including by now so many stories and even amateur sketches and professionally made drawings of her.
The ghost girl appears and vanishes, but her first appearances date to the period of the so-called 19th Century Corsetry Insanity, when girls would be trained since a tender age to wear the strictest corsets and some corsetieres were proud to have young ladies among their models, who could survive having their waists clenched down to 13, 11 or even the impossible 9 inches! Such demonstrations would be, however, carried out in secrecy and only shown to the "trusted" audience, so there's no way to verify it as a fact.
And that was the time when the unsettling ghost made her first appearances. Interestingly, she is not stuck in the 19th century fashion world and seems to keep her looks up to date, recently making use of nylon turtleneck catsuits of extreme density and tightness.
She would materialize in the depth of an old building's arc, in a small passage between houses or in other obscure places, and then vanish without a trace once she was finished. She never took any money for her efforts, like a street performer would, the only thing she took from the audience was sanity. What she made them see could no longer be unseen and she would keep haunting people's dreams for many days afterwards.
Among the many other reports, the police file contained this one, told by an old man who could swear having witnessed the ghost with those very eyes. This is the only story that went public due to incompetence of a police member. Apparently, sometimes the ghost girl appears together with a grotesque BBW and the sheer contrast between the two ladies makes people faint even if they haven't already.
"There appeared a fragile looking young girl, not older than twenty she was. Dressed as a sad clown, like that Italian Pierrot I saw when I was a little boy, you know, her hair and face were bleached, wearing a soft white pajama on her body. She looked very sad but trying to smile, something in her eyes, you know, hoping for the better...
Behind her stood a very large woman, a complete contrast of the girl, she probably weighed three times more, not that I mind big ladies, my own wife... yeah, you're right, officer, let's not get distracted. So this big woman, she threw a carpet on the ground and made the girl lay down, then stepped with her big foot on the girl's belly, crushing it almost to the very ground. My eyes went like that when she went on stepping all over her chest and belly with both feet, but that pajama on the girl made it look like she was a stuffed doll, not anything like a real human body, you know?
I went through the war, you know, I've seen some horrors. This one, I was expecting she'd vomit blood and die any moment, but what do you know? The girl, her face was ecstatic, like, you know, as if her boyfriend was on top of her doing things, not that elephant of a woman crushing and trampling her. I realized I couldn't move even if I wanted to, must be some kind of trance like, you know, the substances that youngsters do nowadays... no no, officer, I didn't try any substances myself, merely heard about... just a random guy in a pub, officer, don't know anything about him, but as you well said before, let's not get ourselves distracted, eh?
So she was eventually made to stand up and loose her pajamas to show off her skinny body without a single trace of an injury. The big woman took some long black cords and began skillfully wrapping them around the girl's body that was already suffocating under layers of the tightest nylon. The cords strangled her even more and buried so deep into her flesh that it looked like she's gonna be sliced like butter at any moment into several pieces, should the cords be pulled just a little bit more. After tugging all the cords to the most suffocating tightness, that big cruel woman made the girl begin a seductive dance.
Surprisingly, she was able to move quite well, although every movement made her experience severe pressure over different sides of her body. The girl took one last cord by herself, put it around her small waist and began tugging on it while rolling her hips like a bellydancer. She kept pulling harder and harder as she continued to dance, cinching herself down to the very backbone as if she had no internal organs in her belly. "Is she gonna strangle herself to death?" I asked myself, my mind acting like a prisoner of war, unable to help my body to flee away from seeing this wickedness.
After rounding up her hips to the max, she wrapped the cord tightly around the waist and tied its ends behind her back, so it ended up looking like a very tight belt wrapped around her very spine, with her skinny ribcage hanging over it and her rounded up lower belly below. She then began rolling her hips in a slow, most seductive manner, you know, because at first I didn't even notice she had much in the hips department but now it made me go wow... and then it started looking oddly hot, erotic almost, I wasn't sure anymore if they were frightening me or what? I'm quite aged but even I got such a bloody... yeah, I know, let's skip that part.
So I suddenly heard people whistling and cheering, even though not a single soul was next to me, but the girl's dance didn't last for too long as the big woman brought an impossibly narrow corset and wrapped it around the girl's waist, right over the cords and nylon. Seemingly everything so far was just a preparation for this final part. She was about to be squeezed into this ridiculously tight, tube-like corset that appeared to be completely incompatible with any human body whatsoever. This girl really had no concept of blood flow or breathing that normal human beings need to live... I mean back then I didn't know she was just a ghost and I still think she looked way too real, I mean ghosts are meant to be transparent? Well, she looked perfectly material, at least to me!
With the best of her strength, the woman pulled the long laces to their very limit and within a few minutes the corset was fully closed without the slighest gap on the back! I didn't know what else to think of what I was witnessing, I was pretty sure that this time anything tighter would be physically impossible, but then this woman brought steel belts and locked three of them along the corset's tube-like stem with steel bolts. She then used a special tool to tighten them up until these belts of steel were also locked, pressuring the corset even more, beyond what I thought was already beyond all limits. The girl ended up having a stem for the waist, which was not wider than her arm, but if you think she also had the corset, the cord and the nylon underneath... I had no idea how she was holding up. Yet she walked around quite normally, showing off that unreal, phantom-like waist from every angle. Then the big woman put a dark hooded robe on the girl and led her away into darkness...
They disappeared as abruptly as they appeared, and only then I regained the control over my body but instead of following the two, I walked away in the opposite direction as quickly as I could."
