When two halves of a pebble come togther...They become a whole as these two have done...A sincere well done to the Author
That was one of the best stories I've read in a long time. It had a good plot and a great ending. I enjoyed it all the way throught.
Thank you so much for the wonderful story! It was really amazing. The world you created was very original, and the characters were all very real and compelling. I really cared about your main characters, and that can be hard to accomplish in a short story. Just beautiful!
Thanks again for a voice, tone and depth that is sometimes lacking here. What Hapens to Rose now? Do they work together to free others? I would read more!!!!
good all around, good center, love not just a bunch of slush. good ending, though annoying, stories should always end with reader wanting more
I loved the story. You could feel the character's and I was captured in the tale the entire time. Brilliant work. <3
Thoroughly enjoyed Your story. I have read several of Your works and have enjoyed them all.
The characters and themes are cleverly woven into compulsive reading. Thank You for Your stories.
I absolutely love the surreal quality of this story. Now I'll go and read the rest of them. Thank you.
Im not very sure i agree with the concept behind your story...but it was written very beautifully! being a women myself, i could never imagine myself becoming a slave willingly and even enjoying it! however, in saying that, this story really gave me a perspective into the minds of those that do practice this sort of lifestyle. it was truely insightful to say the least. well done.
Absolutely loved it from beginning to the end! There is nothing like belonging to a loving dominate...
There are four main elements to this wonderful story andf three of them could make this a piece of non-fiction.
ELEMENT 1 - SLAVERY:
The Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution bans slavery EXCEPT as a punishment for a crime. So as I write this comment a judge could be committing a criminal to slavery!
ELEMENT 2 - CORRUPTION:
Even in the best of societies there will always be a few corrupt politicians and others who wield power.
ELEMENT 3 - SLAVES LOVE:
There is a well documented phenomenon called The Stockholm Syndrome which describes the behavior of kidnap victims who, over time, become sympathetic to their captors. The name derives from a 1973 hostage incident in Stockholm, Sweden. At the end of six days of captivity in a bank, several kidnap victims actually resisted rescue attempts, and afterwards refused to testify against their captors.
ELEMENT 4 - BRAIN WASHING:
This is the only part of the story that makes it fiction. Despite many attempts by various governments true btrain washing has never been totally sucessful.
So from the above it is clear that this story could almost be someones experiances. All i can say Rosemary/Alice was lucky to find such a wonderful and loving Master ...... oh if i could only find such a Mistress. Thank you PassionStJohn for such a great read.
I love how you compacted so much depth and emotion in one short story. Love it!
Im amazed!.. it aroused me, almost even made me cry... U are extremely talented... so much love, pain, passion, agony... in this story.. Im delighted! :) great work.. i luv it!! Infact i made a new account only to comment :)
Looking forward to more such works :)
Im trully thrilled..
I've looked and searched for stories such as this .
I just wish I was a series
Bravo sir
Well thought out story although her Master seems a little stupid at times re Paul. Very much enjoyed this. Surprised it's not more popular but there again the author has not published or updated profile in a long time.
Author with same name publishes on Smashwords though and some stories are recognisable from here.
Finding the Way Home
Taken as a captive, given a phony criminal record and sold at auction, Rosemary becomes a favored pet of her master who is investigating corruption in the judicial sentencing to slavery. Although Master imposes his will with a firm hand, her position with Master evolves into one of a favored pet. When she kills Paul one of master's cronies who tried to rape her, Master sets her free and returns her to "real life." Master is ready to go public with the corruption in the system and she is a slave no longer.
Returned to real life, Rosemary decides to return to Master. There is some precedent for this twist. Some captives taken by Native Americans never readjusted to white society. Some died in "freedom." Others returned to the tribe.
In literature, Cedric's jester Wamba the Witless in IVANHOE, turns down manumission. "What is freedom? What use can I make of it?"
Passion presents an interesting concept:
