It looks old and abandoned. The windows are boarded up. They take my arms again to lead me into the warehouse.Inside, it is filthy. The floor is cover...d in dirt. The walls are falling in. There is a huge mattress sitting in the middle of the floor. A bunch of men are all sitting in folding chairs around it.They lead me to the mattress. One of the men looks at me. “Is she the one?” “Yes,” says the man who came to my house. “This is his wife. He has given her to us to make a payment on his debt.”. "You could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard her say that. I stood there staring at her and she said, "It's true, I love him." How can you stand there and say that when everyone knows that you cheat on him every chance you get?" I can't help it Bobby. I need sex, a lot of sex, and Donny just doesn't give it to me. Twice a week, regular as clockwork, three minutes and then he rolls off, goes to sleep and leaves me hanging. I married him because I love him, but even before we were. No more being mean. Promise. I'll be the sweet little girl you never had."Today, I don't think that was quite what he meant -- I think he meant to emasculate me for just the one day as punishment, with no idea that I'd take it on as my internal role, the core of my very being. But he relaxed as he took some logs out and put them with my clothes, opened the chimney, lit some newsprint and twigs under the fire, starting the fire in earnest. I sat on the couch and watched the old clothes burn. "Please God... just let me get there safely and let him be there!"She didn't see the small rock ahead and her ankle twisted under her as the stone caught under her sandal and she fell, her leg twisting under her in a heap!She cried out in pain, "Oh no! Please not now!"Riko stopped and ran back to her very worried about his mistress. Just then, she saw someone walking up to her in the dark. It was a man. She was frightened but was frozen in pain. She couldn't get up to run. She just sat there.
