PREVIOUSLY: Penny has been completely deprived of vision, hearing, smell, and taste, disoriented with her hands tied behind her back. Walked to a waist-high guardrail along the edge of the castle parapet, she has just been pushed over it. NOW:
Penny screamed ineffectively, silently, unheard even by herself and alone in her silence, as the combination of the shove in her back and the yank down on her leash propelled the top half of her body forward and down, and her center of gravity out beyond the rail, out beyond the relative safety of the edge, over the abyss.
As her head and shoulders plummeted down, gravity and the bar at her hips lifted her feet from the solidity of the platform and she went flying! Inside her guts, the blind eel that dwelled there somehow connected to her emotions, and spasmed violently.
Until a moment later a sharp pull on her ankles stopped her from falling further. It was so solid, so unyielding, her mind recognized she had not been caught by human—or even demon—hands. Her bonds must have caught on something! But that half-thought was about all she had in her and her body was out of control already, her deliberate mind having shut down and ceded control to the basest and most animal instincts, things so deep and distant she could not even recognize them as parts of herself. Like foundry workers around an exploding furnace they were shouting soundless orders and alarms, flashes of sweaty muscles and hurrying silhouettes and panic-filled eyes rolling in trapped sockets, they made her body jerk and twitch in every direction, trying to free a hand, trying to catch on something else besides her ankles, trying to fall feet-first, trying and failing to do something, that would make a difference long after her will and intentions had shut down and closed their eyes, bracing for impact.
She flopped and jerked and twisted like a fish tumbling out of a net onto the deck of a boat. In her absence, her body was trying to exert any slight degree of control that would allow it to survive and choose, if not with any specific haven in mind, simply to change what was happening already through no decision of its own. Her body would take any fate other than the one her mind had told it to expect. And her body would not give up, even without her mind to help.
It was several seconds before her reason could realize she still wasn’t falling, and work out they must have chained her ankles to something when they spread her legs. With another lost expression, Penny sobbed and fell limp and ragged, her waist and her very life held by a solitary narrow iron bar, her momentum over it checked by her ankle cuffs, her arms still bound behind her back, emphasizing their uselessness and Penny’s own ineffectiveness as a living thing.
Penny screamed. Penny screamed and wept, shaking and sobbing, her sense of balance telling her gravity still roared and slavered for her, wishing to snatch her away like the jaws of a wolf.
At first, Penny hardly registered, hardly had the room to register, that her dress and underskirts had been thrown over her head, before she was shocked and focused by something cold and hard and wet. And the instant it touched her—
She felt absolutely nothing at all.
Nothing.
At.
All.
Not her own weight, lying on the narrow bar and tugging on the ankle chains.
Not voracious gravity, trying to devour her.
Not the hot and humid air pressing tightly around her.
Not her own heartbeat.
Not her own breath!
Not even the darkness and silence of her world.
A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E N-O-T-H-I-N-G-N-E-S-S.
And so Penny learned what complete and utter forlorn terror really was.
Was she dead?!
She must be dead.
But even death shouldn’t be so lonely and isolating. So… naught.
She knew without a shadow of a doubt that she would go mad. And not slowly: soon. Maybe she already was.
Her mind was certainly thrown to mad thoughts without anything real to anchor it in any way. Thoughts like these, that were real because they were the very world she was experiencing, raw and immediate, nothing esoteric about them:
What was happening to her body?! Inside her own body?! Her mind knew because it remembered. When it was aware, it had rarely even realized how thoroughly it knew it was alive every second. It felt its own breath, felt its own heart, sometimes even heard them or felt the rise and fall of its chest; sometimes smelled and felt the slick moisture of its own sweat. Now, she could not even tell if her body—if she—was still there, or had ever really been there. She didn’t know if she had ever even had a body at all. Perhaps it had all been her imagination. Or was her body being destroyed, inside and out, continuing the assault every sense she’d had, had been screaming at her to report? It had to be; her senses were gone, unless reality was actually gone—and she had no way to tell. Was she even now, falling towards the sea of devils and demons below, who would tear her to pieces for all eternity, over and over again? Or had she died, and these were the last seconds of her consciousness, mere seconds stretching and lasting in a final desperate effort to cling to life?
She couldn’t say which was more disconcerting, more upsetting and unreal: the loss of her body, or the loss of her world. Because without her senses, she had nothing. She had imagined she was lost with the mere departure of her sight, hearing, taste, and smell. What she wouldn’t give to return to even that half-state of being! To be without even touch, even balance?… Without anything, really. Without the senses she had taken for granted, and the things they brought to her, reality itself did not exist. She felt no gravity, and it was gravity that had connected her to this world all her life, like an umbilical cord to her mother, without her even realizing she felt it: a sense of up and down, right and left, solidity. Without the pull of the world she was utterly untethered. There were no people. There was no sun, no wind, no earth, no wind, no fire, no air, the very elements themselves dissolved, if they had ever existed at all.
Oh, Domina! She thought, her mind crying where her body no longer existed to weep. Her Domina!
For the first time in her life, she felt a perfect clarity, a perfect certainty:
Penny knew, absolutely knew, with every shred and fiber of her being, that only her Domina could bring her back from… if she had had shoulders, she would have given up and shrugged. She was nowhere. There was nowhere to bring her back from. But only her Domina could pluck her out of this absence and bring her back to reality, the world, her sweet smell, her soft skin, her warm love, bring Penny back to Penny herself, from this awful nothingness.
Oh Domina! Please please please please please please bring me back to you! PLEASE don’t let go, I know there is a golden spiritual umbilical thread between us, connecting us always, unbreakable and forever! There has to be one because I need it, I need it so badly I can still feel it, because it’s the only thing that exists for me here! The certainty you care about me is complete. I don’t know why, I can’t understand your ways and wiles, and—and maybe I don’t need to. A part of my soul knows I probably don’t want to. But do need the fact that I know. That you cared about something you perceived in me, with senses I don’t even possess, senses that must be able to find me now! I just need to know you are going to bring me back to you!
You’re going to bring me back! And that’s what I want, more than anything, to be back in your world, back at your feet, back where you want me. Back where I BELONG. I know it now! Please hear me! I’m sorry for having been so slow and suspicious. I’M SORRY!!! PLEASE!!!
I love you! I need you! I am NOTHING without you! Not without you!
Please….
