Kate grimaced as she wiped the eye liner off for the millionth time, leaving her eyes a bloodshot red to match her irritated lids. This was not what she’d had in mind when she set about applying colour to her face. She puffed her flushed cheeks and began again, glancing at her phone to confirm … Continue reading Preparation

Sent Away
Beca watched the train pull away, taking any chance of freedom she might have had with it. She tried to imbue the moment with a certain romanticism, imagining herself the much put-upon heroine, a damsel in distress or some such. She may have even succeeded, but trains were not very romantic these days. The last … Continue reading Sent Away
Twofer
I was supposed to be spanked last night. It didn't happen, and while I'd like to say it was because he simply could not find any reason to spank me, it was simply that we had to postpone our meeting (pesky work). Disappointing at first, but then I realised- this means I get two periods … Continue reading Twofer
Terrible Twos
Acknowledging Imperfection turns two years old today! The patient among you who have been following along have likely noticed that the fits and moods associated with children that age seems to have been started.

Distance Learning: Matriculation
Sarah and David's story began here Sunday night, yet again. They seemed to come more quickly in summer. Sarah remembered when she had looked forward to her Sunday night ritual, when the weeks had stretched long and Sunday seemed to never come. Now they came all too frequently. Sarah composed her weekly report, mentally ticking … Continue reading Distance Learning: Matriculation

As some of you have likely guessed from the lack of regular posts, June is flying by for me. More than half way through the month, I've finally chosen a book- Stacy goes to College by Frank Martinet (who some may know as Flogmaster). His stories were among the first I read after stumbling on … Continue reading Book of the Month: Stacy Goes to College
Supervised Study
“Eyes down, Grace.” Grace sighed at the latest admonishment. This wasn’t working. She stole one last wistful look out the window at the bright autumn afternoon she was missing and returned her attention to her revision. She sighed again. What was the point anyway? She had already failed once, and, though she knew she should … Continue reading Supervised Study
Intensive Coursework: Bananas in Pyjamas
Sarah and Stephen's story began here Sarah swirled the wine around in her glass thoughtfully as she recovered her senses. The wine itself was a comfort, not for the alcohol or simple pleasure of drinking, but simply that he had brought it as he had promised. She had stocked up as well, a frantic last-minute … Continue reading Intensive Coursework: Bananas in Pyjamas
Transformation
“We are very sorry you had to see that, Mr. Davies.” Paul prided himself on control but couldn’t quite keep the glint of rage from his eyes as he replied. “It is not me that you should be apologising to. Had I known what this procedure entailed, I never would have brought Celia here.” … Continue reading Transformation
Intensive Coursework: Too Much, Too Soon
Sarah's story began here Sarah sank back into the sofa and marvelled at the transformation her apartment had undergone. Scarcely two days ago the floor had been all but buried and her current perch had been obscured by an imposing double mattress. Now, the bed had been reassembled, the sawdust and stray screws rounded … Continue reading Intensive Coursework: Too Much, Too Soon
