*rubs her shortened hair nervously* Been out for a couple hours now, had to go and see Mistress and beg forgiveness. The experience was almost a nightmare for me - not being able to be with my family was the worst pain I have yet to experience in SL. Yet... there is some small, dark, repressed part of me that wants to go back there and hide. That part of me IS NOT ME... but it is that seed of doubt in all of us. ... "Leave me alone!" "Why does it hurt so bad?" "I can't do it!" "I'm so scared!" ... That is the Bane in all of us. Many people don't understand the allure of Banishment. Some see it as a cry for attention. Some see it as running from problems. Some see the kink. at: Cloud 9 Island (143, 207, 131)
