The Story of S Pt11.

Mark has Essy give him her despair, undermining her completely, and then introduces her to a bookโ€ฆ

He held her, then, curled on his lap, and said to her; ‘Cry. Cry now. I want to hear your pain and shame, your fear and despair.’ [Read More]

The Story of S Pt12.

She begs him not to be merciful, he tells her something appalling.

It was terribly hard, but she did not lose control; kept her head up, her eyes down, looking at his shoes the whole time, with a strong and powerfully affecting feeling that he was staring at her opened sex, sure that she was ugly down there, her labia so puffy from the multiple abuses of the day, the vulnerability of her position eating into her, the horror of all this being her reality, now, forever; the astonishing neediness in her for it all to be true, the sucking vortex of neediness in her; trembling, shaking with it all.

The Story of S Pt13.

Mark imposes a terrible warning.

It took forever; time stood still; she wailed, broken, lost, ruined, the whole time, not even in direct response to what was being done to her; that violence, that pain, that shame was only the surface of what he was doing to her, which was taking everything, degrading everything, removing everything from her; utterly devastating.

The Story of S Pt14.

She exists through a period of dissociation, only brought back to life by a promise of despair.

She was over. She was sure of it, certain of it until, the day after that first meeting with Francesca, when she had realised thatโ€” far from being overโ€” she had been in a cocoon. That the days after Mark had left her, when she had felt so detached, she had been changing. Changing insideโ€” like a caterpillar which had disappeared, gone into a shell, collapsed into mush, and been reborn as something else. [Read More]

The Story of S Pt15.

Francesca initiates Essy with an astonishing and devastating series of abuses.

It would be hard; she would be degraded and abused, frightened and shamed, but it would be a life of strong colour and vivid contrasts, and she would never have to worry about what to do next. It would not be her responsibility. It was appalling how eager she was for it all. [Read More]

The Story of S Pt16.

Essy faces despair; she and Luly contemplate the terrors of submission to cruel sadism. The inevitability of terrible suffering. Then they walk towards it.

It’s impossible, isn’t it? To know that they’ll have the power of life and death over us; pain and joy, terror and peace, and that they will use that power to destroy us, in service of their horrid sadistic perversions. To know that we’re going to ask them to be merciless as we surrender to them. [Read More]

The Story of S Pt17.

Essy is made to present herself to Paul (aka 'The Mechanic'), another member of the Cabal. He is especially unnerving.

Essy’s belly is turning over itself with fear as she arranges herself for him, in a pose deliberately set by Madam to make her own weakness and vulnerability unmissable, striving to maximise her signal that she too is a girl who can be damaged, brutalised, doomed; possessed by the horrible thought that she must try to inflame him so that he will do something terrible to her, too.

The Story of S Pt18.

Paul takes Essy through the cool, formalistic Voluntary Commitments, taking special care to have her understand that she is the only one who will be controlled by them, not her abusers. Especially not himself.

The โ€ฆ first part is the commitment itselfโ€” what โ€ฆ what can be done to me; what I commit to do, or allow to be done to me. The second part is the boundaryโ€” when and where the commitments are to be honoured, how far they can go. The third part is the โ€ฆ the enforcement commitment, where I say what is OK to be done to me to coerce me to meet my commitments. [Read More]
