Liana at The Castle Pt.5

Liana is humiliated in the street, and all but overwhelmed by the implications of being owned.

This was how it was going to be; she was going to have to find a way to love it. She had, to, or it would destroy her absolutely. Her heart felt as if it were being seared and crushed, at the same time; an actual, physical pain in her chest, which demanded physical action, which demanded change, which demanded relief from the intolerable pressure— it just had to be borne; swallowed, accepted, leaned-in to, suppressed. She had to smile at Anne-Marie; offer herself, be pretty, be desirable. She had to open her cunt, because that was the part of her than Anne-Marie wanted, the part of her that Anne-Marie used.

Justine, Pt6.

The second incident takes Justine by surprise and overwhelms her…

Oh dear, silly girl. You have ruined the rug, and wasted my rather expensive and very hard to get nail varnish. Now, you have to decide something. Do you want me to punish you, in which case I will take all responsibility, or do you want me to call Mme. Creux and tell her of your several failings? [Read More]

Justine, Pt7.

Deeply disturbed by Chanxin's abuses, Justine knows she must do something— but finds herself frightened and weak, and with conflicting thoughts.

She would ask for a meeting with Mme. Danika at the earliest moment. Mme. Danika would make things right. If Sir Stephen was the head and the captain of the group, she was the backbone. If Mme. Danika would listen to her, she would be safe. She would go to her, as soon as possible, and say that she had decided, for personal reasons, that she needed to go home. [Read More]

Justine, Pt8.

Justine receives an impactful lesson in pragmatic philosophy, delivered by Mme Creux.

Simply, stop trying to be your hero, stop thinking about the possibility of it, even. That’s all it takes. Step in to your reality; that you are not required to be a hero, not capable of it; that you can relax into the role you were born to— that of an extra— a walk-on part— a plot device in the story of others, who are real heroes. Everything will be simpler, I promise you. [Read More]

Moth— Part 2, Chapter 1

Ms. F. wastes no time in introducing Paige to her new status, through raw humiliation, crude degradation and intimate pain.

I was in awe of her effortless domination, dismayed and delirious, too, at how easy I was making it for her, at how welcome her dominion over me was, how it fit, so perfectly, into the sick flaw in my character which she had so ruthlessly revealed, so skilfully manipulated [Read More]

Justine, Pt9.

After a day of finding calm in service, Justine serves dinner for the first time.

In the dining room, with everything changed, bent right over in an explicitly submissive pose, knowing that it was forbidden for her to object to, or obstruct, any sort of manipulation, that each of the people around the table would see just what was being done with her, would see just how weak, how vulnerable she was, how could she cope?

Incantata Fiammina— a complicated character

Various aspects of Ms. F.'s life are implied or described in stories here. This is an attempt to make sense of them.

The Ms. F. character was used in several early stories, without any attempt at coherence. This short piece attempts to force some believability onto what is, frankly, a mess of THW’s’ own making. [Read More]

The Story of Odile Pt18.

Odile understands that she must give up on herself, but finds it hard to sustain.

Nothing mattered but Him; in His presence— even His servant’s presence— she was nothing; nothing but need, and vulnerability. She was on a knife edge; would always be on a knife edge, must always offer herself to that knife edge— between being discarded, and being abused. [Read More]

The Story of Odile Pt19.

In the minivan, demeaned, Odile finds herself transported.

She was nothing, and she would be tightly, claustrophobically controlled, and she would shamed in public, and violently raped, and made to experience intensity; sexual, despairing, agonising, humiliating, suffocating intensity. And one day, one day, perhaps, it would destroy her, as He had told her, but it would be worth it, for occasional moments like those. [Read More]
