Jane is 17 and two years and three months older than I. Mom and Jane constantly argued and I was sort of the third and left out. This constant conflic... came to a head one night. Mom had been telling Jane about the benefits of nudism and that Jane should be a nudist in the house first and get use to the idea.Jane growled "you just want me to walk around naked for Tom to see; I am just going to be his little slut and show him my goodies every day?"Mom stared hard at Jane "you just have to learn. She looked fat; indeed, she looked pregnant.“I think,” she told Bill who’d just come in from putting the dishes to soak and was getting his own suit, “that I show in this dress.”“Ihm hmm,” he agreed. He kissed the bulge in her stomach. The gesture was warm, but the words weren’t what she wanted to hear. Well, she’d wear that dress and depend on her robe.When she got to the robing room, though, Gladys Hagopian was there before her. She greeted her warmly, but Carolyn could see her eyes take in. She did not expect such old men. It seemed so much more degrading that they will be watching her.Gonzales moved his hands from Natalie and began to let her handcuffs hands come down. Her feet fell flat to the floor, relief covering her face, as her wrists were no longer straining to hold her weight. Her hands reached her waist, the chain hanging loosely now. He reached down and opened her handcuffs.Natalie’s head hung down as she rubbed her wrists, the feeling returning to them. She did not. Then, one afternoon just as it was getting dark, she noticed an old lamplighter. Why he should suddenly catch her attention she had no idea, but she felt compelled to watch his slow progress down the street. There was a lamp outside her house and when the old man reached it he seemed to look right at her. Did he give her a half-smile and a slight inclination of the head? Every evening after that Lucy eagerly watched for the old lamplighter coming down the street. She always thought she saw him.
