Subject: STORY "Images 23" (NC, extreme cruelty, Long) My "Images" (a term I stole from Suki) are short ideas, images, and sketches. They are generally cruel and nonconsensual and of interest only to sickphuxs, so please read no further if such doesn't appeal to you. The Images are impurely the products of a warped imagination, and should not be seen as a reflection of the scene, nor should they be imitated by anyone not interested in a protracted term as the ward of the state. Steven S. Davis --------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I thought you might perhaps enjoy a quick image I prepared for a femsub spanko friend. ************* Pondering a punishment image (aka "A Study of System Responses to Stresses of System Extremities" (another friend of mine asks for scientific sounding subject lines in zir emails)). It starts with me telling you that if you aren't going to use your hands to type away on your project, then other uses can be found for them, and grabbing you by the hair and bringing you to tiptoe and making you walk on tiptoe to a table where your hands are strapped down on the heavy table in front of you (with your palms against some leather belts with sharp, heavy studs which were prepositioned on the table), and your legs are pulled back and apart and tied in place and your skirt and slip and panties are cut/torn off you, and you're blindfolded and made to wait for the torment to begin. But not for very long.... It starts with a few strokes of a flexible steel ruler across the back or your hand. Then a couple strokes across the back of the other hand. None of them particularly painful. But as the strokes keep coming - 2L 2R 3L 3R 2R 2L 5R (and so on, trying hard to avoid sticking to any pattern that would allow you to guess which heand will be hit next or how many times it will be hit) - the sting accumulates till you are squirming and whimpering nicely. Somewhere in this series a few quick strokes begin finding the backs of your thighs and your upper arms. Then there's what seems a massive blow atop your left hand, pushing the soft palm down hard against the sharp, hard studs. Followed by a few quick stings with the ruler and them the rubber mallet wrapped in cloth crashes down on your right hand. A few quick strikes with the mallet, LRLRLR, have you squirming and twisting and your knees trembling and nearly failing until a leg goes between your knees and pushed you upwards, then your hips are grasped and you are slided and turned against the bare leg between your bare legs before your hair is pushed away and teeth clamp hard of the back of your neck and shake your head and pull you up as far as you can stand before releasing you, and a rough rope goes round your waist, then something is tied to the front of it and then you feel a smooth rubber hose being pulled between your legs, taut against your pussy, and the end of the hose is fastened to something, and as it remains taut against you it's tucked back and forth and pulled side to side a few times. "Now, slut, if you don't want to stand, then you can ride". And then something stingier, some sort of crop, perhaps, begins striking your thighs, front, back, and inner, and then it begins finding your ass, striking one check or the other, then it works across your shoulders as the hose is pulled back and forth, and sometimes a hand finds its way in front of you and slides between you and the hose to rub you for a few minutes while I'm biting the back of your neck and then kissing the bite marks. And then that stops, and you hear me move in front of you and then there's nothing for a long moment. And then nothing for a longer moment. And then your face is slapped, both sides, several times, not real hard but still it stings, and then the riding crop finds the back of your hands and works them over before moving up your arms, hurting them severely until you can't help but ask for mercy, and then I put my hands over yours and lean down, much of my weight pressing your hands against the studs, the pressure fluctating as I lean from side to side, and I keep this up till you're crying unreservedly and then stop leaning on them, but before you can stop crying enough to thank you, I've taken a very small hammer and begun tapping your knuckles. This scares you more than it hurts you - though with your hands as they are, it hurts a lot - and you plead pitiably for mercy so I go back to pressing your hands under mine and tell you to thank me for it, reminding you that both the small metal hammer and the large rubber mallet are still at hand, and you thank me through your tears, and then I move behind you with a hairbrush and begin spanking you hard and for a long time, before dropping cord holding the rubber hose and taking a cane to put some welts on your ass before I take a wide paddle and beat your atop your welts till your sobs convince me you need mercy - whether you deserve it or not is irrelevant - and I switch to spanking you with my bare hands, at first hard and quickly and w/o interruption, and then intermingled with stroking and squeezing your burning asscheeks and rubbing and massaging your wet pussy. And then between the spanking and the squeezing you feel one foot being freed, then, after a long while, the other, and then some more spanking and fondling and then I'm in front of and grapping the hair behind your head with one hand and pulling your forward to kiss me and kissing your face and mouth and neck while unbuckling your hands and then pulling you off the table and pushing you onto the floor and then the short rubber flogger begins finding your back and your ass and your thighs and the place between your legs while you plead for mercy and I step away from you to get my belt and a coupe strokes land across your shoulders and I say "you want mercy, bitch ? Crawl over here and ask for it properly" and you crawl towards me, feeling for my feet, and finding them sink to your belly and begin kissing my foot, and after a suitable amount of time I take you by your hair and pull you to your knees and make you walk on your knees after me as I back up into a chair and sit back and spread my legs and bring your head to me so you can pleasure and placate me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dance More a vision, perhaps, than what I generally mean by an "Image". I'm seeing two women. They're friends. They're in heels and hose, elbows cinched and wrists cuffed behind them and their wrists attached to overhead chains so that they have to bend forward. Each woman's ankles are bound together, with ropes that are snug against her stockings but which allow a few inches between her ankles, so she can take small steps. They are facing each other. Each woman is in a head harness and the head harnesses are linked together by very straps which make them keep their heads up and look at each other, each woman's face a foot away from the other's. At first they are ball gagged, and left to stand looking at each other as their arms and legs and feet and jaws begin to tire and ache. After a time nipple clamps are hung from each woman's nipples, and after some more time weights are added to the clamps. They are paddled in turn, not all that severely, but enough to redden their asses and make the weights from their nipples sway nicely. Then the straps between their head harnesses are detached, and the ball gags pulled from their mouths. Then they are shown a very thick, long two headed dildo. The dildo is pushed deep inside one woman's mouth and down onto her throat, before she is moved forward so the other end is deep inside the other woman's mouth, but not in her throat, and the straps to the head harnesses are attached again. The dildo is wide enough not to allow either woman to breath through her mouth. It's long enough that, as the women are fastened together, it will be inside one woman's throat always. While it's there, that woman can't breath, and the other woman can breath through her nose so long as she doesn't panic or cry. In order for both of them to survive, the woman who can breath needs to hold still and make her mouth and throat as loose as she can while the other woman grips the dildo in her mouth as tightly as she can and makes several small steps forwards, pushing the dildo down her counterpart's throat until it is out of her throat and she can then wobble a few steps backwards (with her mouth loosened and the other woman holding) until she take some breaths. Then they have to repeat the process in reverse. Bound as they are they can't move quickly, so neither woman can take more than a few breaths, and they most keep moving constantly, which trying to hold back their fear and deal with their fatigue and the pain in their feet and legs and backs and arms (their arms having extra stress applied when they move) and their ever shorter breathe. And each must deal with her own desires to push push the dildo down her friend's throat and then hold it there, allowing her to breathe and condemning her friend to death - and with the fear that her friend is fighting the same impulse. Each change of steps in this dance the bent, bound women are doing requires not only exertion and pain and trying to hold it together and stay in control despite the fear and fatigue and pain, but a huge act of trust, as neither woman, aceepting the dildo down her throat, knows if she's drawn her last breathe. She has to trust her friend will take the dildo back in a few seconds and give up the joy of breathing so that her friend can breath. But she also knows how much she hates to take it back each time, how horrible it is when the dildo blocks her throat, however short the time, how much her lungs are burning - and that her friend is suffering the same way. What she doesn't know is how long her friend can hold back the horror; she does know that when her friend cracks and betrays her, there will be nothing she can do to save herself (as there would be nothing her friend could do; they might struggle some, but the one who could breath when the struggle began would be sure to win). So each woman keeps up her precarious dance, wobbling forward and back in tiny steps, watching her friend's face when the sweat in her eyes allows it, and trying to see if her friend's eyes will show her intent and dreading that her own eyes might show her wretched desired while each woman wonders how long she can last and how long her friend can last and when, and if, their captors will spare them this agony and terror, and the horrible choice. ***** In the versions in which they are spared the choice, their ankles are untied and spread (stretching and straining their arms even further) and locked in spreader bars, and while their aching legs and hips scream from having to stand so spread in high highs) people stand behind them and push them closer together until both women's throats are blocked, and then the people begin to fuck them from behind, while the captive women do all they can to move their cunts as sensually as they can upon the intruding dicks, whether flesh or fake, hoping desperately that their intruding captors will come quickly, and praying that if their captors come, then they will allow their captives the chance to breathe again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Wages of Brattiness A friend posed this question: what response would be appropriate if she were bratty enough to put her dominant's favorite batch of clothespins beyond reach during his visit. My response follows: ***** The first thing which comes to mind is to go out and buy some more just like them. But perhaps they aren't easily replaced. In that case, we'd have to estimate how much more severe were they than clothespins we can obtain (and, of course, add a brattiness penalty). Or, if the number of replacement pins required is less than 169, we'd use 169 clothespins. Why 169 ? Because I used to think it would be fun to tell a woman I was going to get gross with her, and bring out 144 clamps. This became 156 (baker's dozen). And then 169, because I wanted her to be aware just how very unlucky she was, so she'd get 13 squared clamps. Now, how to use them. I do like the idea of including clotheslines into this. And the object is to teach you that the wages of brattiness is extreme pain, and to teach you what all submissives and all captives need to be taught: you can be certain of one thing (well, slaves and submissives should be certain of at least two things, the first being their owner/dominant's respect and care): that however much it hurts to comply, it will hurt more to resist. So I'm seeing you taken out to some private spot, one which gets a lot of wind. You'd walk much of the way, with your hands tied and your high heel shod feet hobbled at the ankles, and being urged to greater velocity by the merciless application of a cane to your ass. When we get where we are going, you have to strip. Then your hands, released so you could strip, will be tied above your head so you can receive a flogging. You're blindfolded first, so you can't see from where the blows come, as I circle you, striking you arhythmically and unpredictably, sometimes stopping to stroke and fondle you, or to pinch your welts. Continuing for a long time, until you are marked all over from shoulders to knees. Then you are retied in a standing spreadeagle (and back in your heels again). Clotheslines are strung up around you, and sheets and towels hung from the lines (note: the 169 clothespins that will be counted are those that biting into your skin, any others used in a supporting capacity don't count; this means that clothespins placed on clothespins, either as additional weight or to make them squeeze more tightly the special spots under their bite, will not count against the 169). Clothespins are then attached to the sheets, and their partners, at the ends of cords of varyng length, are applied to your skin, with great care taken to be sure the cords are taut and that the pins are biting into either some carefully squeezed flesh (ie to get some very thin skin between the tight grip of these clothespins (I did mention that they would be tight gripping ?) or on some very sore spots where the flogger bit your bare flesh. You'll have clothespins *everywhere*. Many of them, especially the ones biting thin bits of skin, linked in zippers so that when a strong gust hits the sheet to which they are connected, the pull is distributed and the pins less likely to pull off. Most of the pins will be attached to sheets and towels. Some will be attached to the ends of tree branches. All these will move and pull as the object to which they are attached is blown by the wind. A few pins will not be attached to another clothespin. The one's on your ears will not be. Nor will the the row of pins on each labia. These rows of clothespins will, however, be supporting windchimes. And the long cord dangling from the pins securely clamped on your hit will be attached to the plastic parachute taken from a toy paratrooper, which will occasionally catch a gust of wind. Oh, and BTW, the clothespins that do pull off will be reattached. Not always to the same spot they came off, but very often to the spot where another pin had been up until a few minutes earlier. So when will the torture stop ? Well, not before you (not necessarily in this order): 1) Sob. Not merely cry, but sob 2) Scream 3) Beg for mercy. Piteously, at length, and in a way that I consider sincere. 4) Apologize. Repeatedly. 5) Swear never to do this again (please note the narrowness of the promise, and that it does not foreclose future brattyness of other forms) 6) Tell me what wonderful things you will do for me if I stop the torture. Oh, and not before I have enjoyed your suffering sufficiently (expect to be there for a very long time, my dear). When these conditions are met, I'll start removing the clothespins. The 169 clothespins. For reasons which I'm sure you'll understand, you will not be untied until a long time after the removal is complete (well, not completely untied; a way would be found to lower you w/o releasing you). ___________________________________________________________ A Fireplay Image [Written for a hot friend] I'm getting an image of you keeping two fires going, with a naked man tied spreadeagle on the ground between the fires, as you fondle and scratch and pinch him and periodically pull sticks (some sharpened) from (or place them in) the fire, and prod him in various places, with the sharpened sticks, or beat him with them, or pull hot sticks (sometime trailing hot ashes, sometimes with the top bits aflame; sometime when the ends of the sticks catch fire you pass the flame back and forth along his sides and his inner thighs and near the soles of his feet and much closer to his testicles than he is able to bear with stoicism or equanimity) or use very warm wood to manipulate his hot woody (perhaps sometimes using metal tongs to twist and squeeze his cock and balls, and sometimes dropping a set of tongs in one of the fires (as you move from one fire to another, you are frequently crawling or rolling over his prone body) while, carefully concealed, there's another set of tongs chilling in ice, and when he see you put on the "hot objects glove" and retrieve the hot tongs from the fire and playfully wave them around his balls so he can feel the heat, and then sit on his belly, your back to him, as you fondle his balls and then pinch one testicle out and hold it steady as you pick up the hot tongs and brandish them where he can see them then slowly move your hand towards the target testicle while teasing and taunting him, and then dropping the hot tongs and picking up the icy cold set and squeezing that ball. {with proper credit to John Warren for the "substitute cold for hot" idea} ---------------------------------------------------------- "Not till she's 18" I think that a recent idea of mine might be appealing to you. It involves kidnapping a sexy young lady on her 18th birthday (because we would *not* want to be doing anything involving sex or cigarettes with a minor) and securing her to a special sort of chair with her legs raised and spread and her arms outspread and attached to a pole (turned so the insides of her arms are facing up) and there's a thin wooden board between her legs (well, it would be between her legs if her legs weren't stretched out in front of her). She's left tied to the chair for several hours (hmmm... alteration: we take her when she's 17 and make her wait a few hours until she's 18 before we start doing anything with her (it means we have to cut and pull away her clothes after the time of her birth has come). Then we torture her for awhile. She's very pretty, so when the pain becomes more than she can bear, she offers her sexual favors in exchange for mercy. And is shocked to find that we don't intend to fuck her, just to torture her until she begs for death and then kill her, so her sexual charms are useless, and she has absolutely nothing to bargain with. "I'll do anything you want" means nothing when she's already doing exactly what we want her to do: suffer (but it's still really sweet to hear). As it happens, we know that she smokes, so during one of the "let her rest so she doesn't go crazy or catatonic before we're through with her" breaks, she's offered a cigarette, and being so eager to accept any hint of kindness (silly girl) that we seem to be offering, she accepts. So we put a cigarette between her lips and let it dangle there, and occasionally hold it for her so she can inhale and then blow out the smoke (and we flick the ashes onto her bare skin). Until the cigarette is nearly done, when one of us takes it by the filter tip and puts it out by crushing the hot tip into the skin of her upper inner arm. And then we offer another cigarette. And since she's a smart girl - someone who would likely have gone far in life if she were going to make it past her 18th birthday, which she isn't - she gets the game: she can choose between having a cigarette put out on her bare flesh every few minutes (and on sensitive bits of flesh (inner arms, palms of hands, inner thighs, the arches of her feet, the back of her neck; her breasts and labia and clit, naturally; and, of course, her face (while holding a mirror up so she can see it better, and better observe (when her eyes are open again and the tears clear sufficiently) the effect on her fine facial features), and having us resume our tortures. If we've done it right up until then, she'll accept the cigarette (if we haven't done it right, then we will do it right so she does accept the next offered cigarette). Of course, as time goes on, we'll be crushing the cigarettes sooner and sooner (but by that time the effect of having to smoke so much - she's not a heavy smoker, she just smoked some because it made her seem more on the edge - will be making her sick). So eventually, sick and unable to bear another cigarette crushed into her skin, she'll refuse the offered cigarette. And we can start torturing her again. Until she begs for death, and then torture her a bit more (no topping from the bottom allowed !). After which we'll lay her on a table, strap her head down, and drip hot wax (from tapered beeswax candles held at a low height; sure, she'll blow some out, but we'll have plenty of them) over her nose and screaming mouth until the accumulated wax makes it impossible for her to breathe, and she suffocates. And then we turn to her bound and gagged best friend, who's been watching the whole time, and tell her that it's her turn tomorrow, and leave her alone in the dark dungeon with her dead friend (but with some candles burning for light) to think about what is to come. ------------------------------------------------------- "A Femsadist's Diversion" It's not as if you'd enjoy taking a man into the desert, making him strip, tying his hands behind him and tying a cord tightly around his balls and walking him around in the hot sun for a couple hours (his only water being what you decide to allow him to lick off your boots, or whatever else you might wish licked), until you decide to stop at a cactus, which you'd make him kneel facing it and then bind him to the cactus, not tightly so he'd be pressed into the spines, but snuggly enough that he can't get loose and can't move away from them more than an inch or so (with the leash to his balls fastened around the cactus, with the effect - among others - of making it certain he can't stand up or sit down (and taut enough that you could, if you wished, take a stick and "strum" the leash to make him make pretty noises (well, noises which a pretty female sadist might enjoy))). And then come up behind him and pour water over his head and neck and shoulders, then dry them, and start stroking him and kissing his neck and the sides of his face while reminding him what's going to happen if his cock rises, which it's going to do because you are going to keep kissing and stroking him until his penis is punctured by the pins of the cactus, and there's nothing he can do to stop this, because he's under your power and his body will do what you want it to do, not what he wants it to, and no matter how much it may hurt him. He's powerless, and you're going to be merciless (until he does what you want), and while he may try to resist you, you will prove irresistible. And those pins will pierce him, while you lean across his shoulders giggling at his pain and his powerlessness, before untying him from the cactus and shoving him down (his hands still tied behind him), and shoving a dildo up his ass while using your favorite non-animant toy on yourself, turning and twisting that dildo with him to make him gasp and groan as much as you gasp and moan, until you're satisfied. After which you'll be merciful, and take him back to your vehicle (only moments aware, despite the hours of walking), where you will clean and disinfect is punctured penis, then put him in the back seat and be sure to hit plenty of bumps while taking him back to where you are <dumping/keeping> him. Or maybe to where his clothes are, so he can walk back himself. Of course, when you tie his balls-leash to the back bumper and start to drive away, that's just a joke. Not that you'd find any of this enjoyable, of course. Or even a brief diversion from your toils. ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Fencing in the Pet" I've been having some interesting thoughts of you and electrified dog collars. Making you put on garter belt and stockings, with the collars placed on your thighs where the electrodes will be pressing into the bare flesh. But I'm not thinking of you being tortured like that girl in the story (at least not right now). What I'm thinking about is using "invisible fence" technology in such a way that, if you go past where you are allowed to go, your left thigh will receive a strong shock. And if you go into a spot that is forbidden to you, your right thigh will receive a strong shock. If you don't withdraw, the shocks continue, and if you don't withdraw within some (short) period, the belt around your waist will deliver disabling shocks to you. And you'll be collected to receive punishment (*now* I'm thinking of you experiencing what the woman in the story experienced). Oh, and if either thigh collar is removed, the waist belt will disable you (and send a signal that you were a bad slave and should be punished). And the waist belt (which can't be removed without a combination you don't have, and attempting to remove it will result in ... well, you know) will have a device like those used in house arrest, so your location is always known. Of course, neither you nor I have enough space to make this very interesting. I'm imagining you as a guest at a nice sizeable estate. Oh, and here's an interesting side to all this: you won't know, moment to moment, where you can and can't go. Oh, you'll know that some places are always barred to you. You know that you can't go near the border of the estate. You know you can't go near a car. You know you can't enter any room which contains a telphone. Not that you want to leave. This is not an NC fantasy of that sort. Despite the sometimes cruel games we play with you, you don't wish to leave. I just want you to understand - to know with absolute certainty - that you cannot leave. No matter how much you might wish to, you would be incapable of getting out of the estate or or summoning any help. The only way you could ever leave is by going to the owner of the estate (me, as it's my fantasy) and asking very nicely. Then you might be allowed out. Possibly without the belt and collars. More probably with them on, and knowing that there was a timer on them and/or a distance setting, so you can only go where you were given permission to go, and can only be gone for as long as you were allowed to be gone. And since I'd miss you while you were gone, when you got back I'd chain you quite securely so you had to stay where I put you for a long time. But aside from those known limits, you'd not know where you could go and be sure not to get a shock. The range that you could walk would be constantly changing, and areas which weren't off limits would be changed to off limits w/o you knowing it. Not while you were in them (if you receive a shock while stationary it would be me letting you know that I'm thinking about you); well, one exception: sometimes staying in your room would not be an option. But the room you stepped out of minutes ago, if you attempt to reenter it you might get a shock to your right. And you won't know if you can enter the garden, or if so how far into it you can go (I'd try to have your favorite parts far inside it). Or if you can approach the brook on a warm day, or sit in the arbor on a sunny day. You might find yourself inside an invisible pen on the lawn some warm, bright summer day, unable to step more than a few feet in any direction without a shock; you might even find that your thigh-collars have to stay a certain height, so you couldn't sit down. No, my dear, I wouldn't make your life unrelenting misery. Most of the time the collars would be uncomfortable and perhaps embarrassing (did I mention the short skirts you'd have to wear ?), but not painful. You'd generally be allowed to move about freely, within the known limits. But you'd be reminded often enough that you were under control, and that you can be toyed with and there's nothing you can do about it. Because you're a slave, and your owner's plaything. How often is often enough ? Often enough to be sure that you never for even a moment forget that you are owned. And that nothing you can do will change that fact. --------------------------------------------------- Some thoughts for/of a femsub friend I was flicking channels a few days ago and saw an American Justice segment on kidnapping. One segment concerned an Exxon executive who'd been kidnapped, blindfolded, chained, and locked in a box. So far standard enough. What struck me is where they took him next: to a commercial storage facility. I have often had fantasies about putting slaves literally "on the shelf" and making them wait there (bound and blindfolded, of course) until I was ready to use them again. But putting someone in storage was an idea which hadn't occured to me before. I wouldn't use their method, of course. I'd given some thought to simply taking someone to a storage location and locking her in. I seem to remember some such locations which were just about the size that could accomodate a chair and a woman sitting on the chair (with a couple water bottles at her feet). Some are rather larger, and could allow her to move about. But I don't want her moving. I do rather like having her hands cuffed behind her and her chained to the wall by her neck. But I can't leave someone standing like that for a long time. Sitting on the floor chained by her neck is safer but still not safe enough. And chained around the waist with several feet of slack is fun but not fun enough. What I decided that I wanted is a nice strong (with padding) suspension harness, which I could put her in and hang her up, with the weight and strain distributed over her body. Not hung terribly high. Just high enough that even if she stretched her legs and reached down as far as she could with her toes (lovely image, that) she couldn't quite touch the floor (if she could, of course, then I'd elevate her a bit higher, as the optimal situation is her outstreteched toes oh-so-close to touching the floor, but not quite making it). My romantic and my practical sides were in dispute after this. My practical side wants her in the skimpiest bikini legal in her locality, with her hands locked in leather cuffs in front of her, but otherwise free so she could reach up and remove the blindfold and pull the release cord with would drop her unto the wrestling mat on the floor, and with her purse (with cash, ID, driver's license, car keys, handcuff keys, and key to storage garage) by the door, and herr car just outside (so if she wished, or if she needed to, she could get out). She'd be given a password, and told to go with anyone who had a key for the storage site and had the password. When they came for her, she'd be taken, blindfolded (and being distracted so she'd not know where she was going), to a secure destination (i.e. "scream if you want to, dear"), and fucked. Only after her master's cock was moving within her would she hear her master's voice (certainly an interesting variation on the old RCA slogan/image), so she'd know this was ravishment by her master rather than rape by a stranger (but if she thought for a short time that it could be rape (and wondered for a long time if she might be raped), that's not so bad (for her; mileage varies)). And when she'd been used sexually - used without regard for her pleasure, without interest in her orgasm or lack of one (actually, lack of one at this time would be prefered, but the pretense is that her reaction is irrelevant, as she's an object being used), used as her master's sex toy - she'd be taken back to storage and hung up again, to wait to be summoned again. When summoned again, she'd be taken out of the harness, and left standing blindfolded (the thick blindfold she'd be wearing would also provide eye protection), arms folded and bound behind her, waiting for the whip to find her again and again and again, until she was on the ground crying, at which point she'd be used again. And again and again, with whatever instruments are available for use on her (hands and tongue and other tools if/when other instruments wear out). But this time (well, after the first usage, anyway) with attention to making her come again and again and again. My romantic side wants much of the same, but wants to start with her naked and her hands locked to the body harness, and with her blindfold part of a locked head harness she can't escape from. And wants her with way of releasing the harness, and no way out of the storage even if she got her hands free and reached the floor. Her ankles would be closely hobbled and there'd be a bit in her teeth to take away kicking and biting as means of resistance. And there'd be no passwords and no warning about people coming for her; when they did, she'd go with them because she had no choice, and any resistance she offered would make no difference whatsoever. She'd have no way out of the suspension, and if she could get down, no way out of the harness/handcuffs/hobble/head-harness, and if she could get out of them, no way out of the room, and if she could get out of the room, the problem of how to get anyplace naked and w/o transport or money. My romantic side doesn't want her choice and freedom and any possibility of resistance or refusal removed because she'd escape if only she could. But rather because I want her to feel, and to know, the impossibility of escape. I want her to feel totally powerless and utterly helpless, to know that nothing she can do will alter her fate. To know that anything at all can be done to her. And that the only reason she isn't going to be harmed (hurt very much, but not harmed) is not because of law or fear or morality or because of her inalienable rights or because of anything that she can do. Her captors are not the sort to be cowed by such things, so no law will keep her alive and whole if they want her dead or dismembered, and there is *nothing* that she can do to stop them from doing whatever they want to do with her. She is going to survive unharmed for one reason and one reason only. Which is that that captors and tormentors - who hurt her so cruelly and with such immense joy in her pain and powerlessness, and who revel in her squirms and pleas and tears - her captors and tormentors love her. And every minute that she thinks she is hanging alone and forgotten in that storage garage, they are thinking of her and aching at the thought of her and wanting her so badly, but exercising restraint so as to induce her to feel what they want her to feel, to feel the objectification and the powerlessness. Whch, of course, my practical side also wishes her to feel, that combination of utter powerlessness and complete safety, the knowledge that there is nothing at all she can do to protect herself, and also nothing at all she needs to do to protect herself, as she is totally safe in her captivity (well, safe from death or lasting damage, physical or emotional; safe from harm; decidely not safe from restraint, pain, and sexual use). But my practical side worries a bit more about unforeseen events, and so would sacrifice some of the thrill for additional safety. Because she's much too valuable to risk losing. ----------------------------------------------------------------
