Oh, sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking. On the cross!
What I'm thinking right now is maybe, how good it is that I have the footrest to push against!
On the cross.
Really, you can do anything you want.
I should take your suggestion? I should take anything, whatever you want.
Watch me struggle until I give up, and sink, and faint.
Watch me come back, and rise up once more, but at some point I'll be going completely under.
I should take anything, whatever you want, I wouldn't even know then.
You could decide whether you'd like to pull me back from that edge,
or watch me go over it.

I suggested to tell me the names and become my slaves... Both of you... Working at my house...
You refused... You prefer the hard way...
So...
Now you are realize...
What can i do now? I don't want to bring you more sufferings... I look at you for a while...

Now that's anguish.Like this one... of course they don't forget to remove them soon after...
You make it beautiful to watch, and also impossible to watch. I've never been good at watching such a struggle, so almost optimistic, as if this time, you can push up and get a breath, and it will all be fine. You have your footrest, after all. But we all know you'll faint. You'll go under.
And if it's a dream, you'll wake up, and if it isn't a dream, we have to wake up.
Meanwhile you struggle and we all stand and watch, because it's you, and we tell ourselves that you're not gone yet.
The cross tempts us with a sensual, erotic beauty, showing it all to us, tantalizes and takes away, but oh so gradually and painfully. You're still alive. Maybe there's a chance for you, for something.

Is there no instant of doubt or regret? Not now, not this moment! -- though I'm sure it will come.
But even if I grow weak ... the cross will hold me.
It's stronger than me.
It keeps me from falling.
If I had chosen the other way, I would not have had this pain rending my body.
But I would have condemned and hated and tortured myself for the rest of my life.
That, too, would be a cross to bear.
That too would be torture unto death.
So I've chosen to be condemned and tortured by someone else.

... poured together with ecstasy and well stirred
No fair ... Malins appears more stretched than I am ... that gives me more leeway to squirm, twist and writhe. I demand that she be given the same freedom to suffer as I !!!!
Strength Malins ... your head has fallen ... don't pass out on me now ... we are in this together, even if we must hang here all night ... we will never ever give in!!!

Have we begged?
I think not.
We still have some dignity.
Let time pass, let the cross slowly crush us, and we'll lose it.
Then we will beg.
Probably just for water though ... or for someone to make an end.
By the time we start begging we wouldn't be good slaves anyway. Too broken, too far gone.
We may whimper, we may cry, we may scream in agony, we may shout words of encouragement to one another, even though we know it is futile. BUT WE WILL NEVER BEG!!!

Water?
Sure... I have some...
Someone to make an end?
No... I didn't think so...
...stubborn as always and under all circumstances...

She will get the water, and you will not... All honest...No fair ... Malins appears more stretched than I am ... that gives me more leeway to squirm, twist and writhe. I demand that she be given the same freedom to suffer as I !!!!
... and a long long night of suffering to look forward to for both of us!
