In The Friday Knight Writers' Lounge <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FKWLounge/>, Lady Friday admonished me to work on a story. My response follows: Slave Driver Whoosh! Crack!! The sound of whip on flesh. A scream of agony, echoing. Leather biting into naked flesh. A whimper from the lowly slave. The laugh of a demanding Mistress. The flickering glow of torches. A dark room, dimly lit. A heavy oak table in the center. Four naked men sit working. The Mistress flicks her whip. "Write damn you! Write!"
