You are flipping through stacks of pictures while he plays chess on the computer. There are photographs of his old band in the studio, his ugly bowtie and cumberbund combo from senior prom and him with that awful, grown-out haircut sitting on some rotting log.
The pictures stick together, tacky with time and dirt and tape. Fuzzy photos of him as a baby in a big, red wagon. Pictures of hollowed out grocery stores, black and white images of sculptures and lampshades.
He joins you on his bed, bending it with his weight, as you are nearing the end of the pile. He twists a lock of your hair, looking at them with you, and you love him so much you wish you could have loved him at eight and twelve and twenty-two.
An out-of-focus shot of a sunshine-filled window rests between smiling faces from a toddler’s birthday party. His bed, the one your are resting on right now, is in the foreground, just a large smudge in the belly of the window’s light. Woven into the wrought-iron bars is the sash of his bathrobe. The one you see hanging ont he back of his bedroom door.
Your guts stop churning.
Your pulse drives wildly into the base of your skull.
“Who did you tie up?,” you manage to mutter, dizzy, hoping he’ll say he staged it all. Merely a scene for a snapshot.
He sighs as he says it, pitying you. “Marcy.”
All you can think about is how Marcy, his ex, considered herself a brilliant chess player.
And how he will never tie you up again.
(Thanks be to Torrez, who saved this story from near extinction.)

That don’t sound like no fiction to me!
you totally ripped that off from a chick at this website I hang out at.
Ah. Now my comment is not so relevant.
Jay,
Please tell me how to secure a job wherein I sit and surf weblogs all day for money. Also, how to reach enlightenment.
Thank you,
Brittney
Also also, is Jeremy gay or does he really just *like* those little, bitty shirts?
Well, to have this job you have to:
a) enjoy not making enough money.
b) enjoy typing descriptions of used cars all day.
c) enjoy dealing with quasi-human sales reps.
Also, it was my impression that you gals enjoyed and encouraged Fergutron to wear the “cute, tiny little shirts.”
i’m on my second job in a row where all i do is surf the web all day. apparently what you have to do is get a position that NO ONE ELSE IN THE COMPANY UNDERSTANDS. you must sow confusion.
this is not to say i don’t sometimes have to work 80 hours in a week. but there are also lulls aplenty.
Brittney, I really like your blog. You are neat. Thank you.
Brittney rules. Someday we’ll all say we remember her when she was just a bartender with a blog, not some famous fancy schmancy best-selling writer with hundreds of books and magazine articles to her name. The Jackie Collins of the 21st century, so to speak, only with talent.

Congratulations, w–I mean, t. You’ve just been BANZORED!
Enjoy looking in from the outside, you petty fuck.
*hugs and hearts*

Oh, yeah, the part about Jackie Collins was definitely a joke. I almost wrote Stephen King instead of Jackie Collins, but despite his decline into formulaic sameness (which he acknowledges) I still respect him as a writer.
The part about Brittney having the potential to achieve success as a writer was no joke. She’s got the talent–it all hinges on her willingness to work at it. Lots of people can write, but few really have the talent to make it as a writer, and fewer yet have the drive to make it happen. It’s really up to her to decide whether it’s worth the hard work and sacrifice required before “overnight success” occurs. Is she up to the challenge? I hope so. Time will tell.
Hrm. Bondage is not really something one dabbles in. If someone is binding you up on a regular basis, you can be pretty well assured they have done it before, and that your roles are fairly well cemented.
I’m not sure how our hero (?) in the story is supposed to be surprised that their bondage partner has (gasp!) done it before.
Not to mention if you’re being tied up you are submissive and therefore not likely to question your partner, much less change the way the acts are performed. Unless you were never truly submissive and were doing it for novelty only, in which case you wouldn’t be offended because it wouldn’t be personal. It would be like being offended because they had juggled with someone before.
I’m just saying.
HOW you write is usually pretty entertaining. It’s WHAT you write that I think often needs some reflection.
For Rent,
Uh, that sorta made no sense.
Relax–it’s just a story.
I was gonna blame the early morning hour for my post’s lack of understandability, but it still reads fine to me now. *shrug*
Let me winnow it down to the main point:
I’m not sure how our hero (?) (the girl) in the story is supposed to be surprised and/or offended that their bondage partner (the guy) has (gasp!) done it before.
Someone who is into bondage being surprised and/or offended that their partner has done it before just seems to be a bit of a stretch.
Unless I’m missing the point. Which is possible. Besides, it’s just my opinion, which should probably be ignored anyway.
Rent:
Who said the girl looking at the pictures is “into bondage”? She’s just a girl who found evidence or just a reminder of her boyfriend’s previous sexual escapades. For people in relationships, that kind of stuff can cause stress. Most people don’t want to think about it, even though they secretly dwell on it at times. What is so hard to understand?
Watch a Kevin Smith movie sometime. Clerks or Chasing Amy.
Brittney:
I didn’t read any maliciousness in t’s now-deleted post–I thought he or she was just commenting on my silly Jackie Collins joke. Maybe there’s a personal backstory about which I’m unaware, but banning t based solely on one flippant remark seems a little extreme. But then again, you’re the webmistress, and I know you’ve got thick enough skin not to go off on someone without a good reason.
Sometimes we forget that something like this can be a first-time experience only on the first time that it is experienced. This doesn’t mean that it cannot be unique or special. Good story :-)
In the kitchen no pan really is nothing like All
Clad Cookware to help all cooks - even not clad in aprons. Steel clad
cookware is not all the same. There are other kitchen commandos like iron
clad Le Creuset
cookware with its pans and pots in vibrant colors. The Le Creuset
french oven pot is a great help. True the Calphalon
One pan sets and calphalon commercial pots are wonderful too clad in
steel as they are.
