She smiles sympa<strong>the</strong>tically.<br />

This type <strong>of</strong> chatter about <strong>the</strong> state <strong>of</strong> each<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r’s bums is quite normal at <strong>Woody</strong>s. It’s hardly<br />

surpris<strong>in</strong>g, really, consider<strong>in</strong>g that on any given day<br />

an average <strong>of</strong> half a dozen gals are required <strong>to</strong> bend<br />

over for a thrash<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> one k<strong>in</strong>d or ano<strong>the</strong>r. A good<br />

deal <strong>of</strong> gab on <strong>the</strong> gossv<strong>in</strong>e relates <strong>to</strong> who got what<br />

from whom and all <strong>the</strong> gory details.<br />

Nixdown is always amongst <strong>the</strong> most curious.<br />

She is a ra<strong>the</strong>r strange cove <strong>in</strong> some respects. When I<br />

first arrived at <strong>Woody</strong>s I suppose I was a little naïve<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> ways <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world. Over <strong>the</strong> years I had read<br />

<strong>the</strong> occasional article <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> papers and magaz<strong>in</strong>es<br />

that referred <strong>to</strong> an eclectic strata <strong>of</strong> society who<br />

<strong>in</strong>dulged <strong>in</strong> BDSM activities. I never really paid this<br />

subject much heed and I suppose I imag<strong>in</strong>ed this<br />

community was comprised <strong>of</strong> dodgy characters<br />

lurk<strong>in</strong>g about <strong>in</strong> darkened dungeons, ty<strong>in</strong>g each o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

up and beat<strong>in</strong>g each o<strong>the</strong>r with whips. I was quite<br />

stunned when Nicola Jane quite openly announced<br />

that she was a member <strong>of</strong> this community. She did<br />

not fit my mental model <strong>in</strong> any shape or form.<br />

Nixdown is a t<strong>in</strong>y little th<strong>in</strong>g. She does not<br />

stand five feet tall, although she strongly disputes<br />

this, and must weigh a hundred and five pounds. She<br />

is stunn<strong>in</strong>gly beautiful with flaxen hair, blue eyes and<br />

full pouty lips. Although she eats like a horse, dr<strong>in</strong>ks<br />

like a fish and smokes like a stack she has an<br />

hourglass figure. I have known her for nearly six<br />

years and have never known her <strong>to</strong> do any exercise<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> periods <strong>of</strong> physical education we are<br />

required <strong>to</strong> attend as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> curriculum.
