Chapter I
It all started during lockdown where me and my group of girls were unable to meet up due to restrictions on meeting people outside of your own home. The lockdown seemed to last forever so I was searching for things that I could do to pass the time. Having always had a love of jewellery I found it an ideal time to experiment as I wouldn't be seeing anyone for a while. I started off with experimenting with rings and bangles and then stumbled across a steel collar. I didn't know what it was at the time but loved the way it looked. Waiting the 3 weeks for it to be delivered felt like forever, but also made me really look forward to it arriving.
The day it arrived I was in a bit of a bad mood, was really getting fed up with my own company, that was until a knock on my door, there was the postman with my parcel in his hand.
"Let me know if you need a hand putting it on," he said, winked at me and gave me my parcel. I embarrassingly snatched the parcel off him and closed the door, noticing that my Eternity Collar wasn't discreetly packaged.
My usual daily routine would be to go out for a walk to the local park which has a lake, and walk around it and grab a coffee on the way back. Just as I was on my way out I went to pick up my keys and saw the parcel sitting there, I thought I may as well open it now that the embarrassment has gone. I picked up the beautiful cold shiny and very solid steel collar, it really was stunning. I picked it up and without reading the instructions, placed it around my neck, oh my god, the weight of it was amazing. I looked in the mirror and it brought a huge smile to my face. I was just about to put it down and go out for my walk and thought maybe I could wear it out and see what it's like to wear for an hour. I couldn't see how it fitted together as there didn't seem to be any sort of fitting, so just put the two sides together and there was a click at the back. I looked in the mirror and turned it around to see if I could work out how it fitted together but could no longer see where the joint even was. I put on a hoodie and went for my walk, thinking that I'll work it out later on how to get it off.
All through the walk I was aware of this thick heavy steel collar around my neck, and it was just for me, no-one else could see it under my hoodie, and no-one would ever guess it was there.
On my way back I called into the coffee shop to grab a drink and a cake, on my way out of the coffee shop I heard a voice saying, "well did you put it on?"
It was the postman that had handed me the collar earlier in the day.
I said, "I've tried it on but I haven't worked out how to undo it yet."
"Well the offer still stands, let me know if you need a hand," he replied.
When I got in I had forgotten all about the collar and the fact that I didn't know how to undo it until I took my hoodie off. I was reminded by a quick glance in the mirror that the cold shiny steel was still very securely around my neck. I spent the evening trying to find out how to remove it and searched on the internet but didn't find any answers. Then one of my friends Facetimed me, I had to quickly put my hoodie back on and make an excuse that my heating was broken.
I went to bed with the collar still very securely and heavily around my neck. Thankfully, still in lockdown I wouldn't be seeing anyone for a while so it was fine, I had time to sort it out.
I was awoken first thing in the morning by a knock on the door, in my rush to get to the door, I'd forgotten about still wearing the collar.
I answered the door, it was the postman with another parcel, as he handed it to me, he said, "the collar really suits you," winked at me and off he went.
This time I wasn't embarrassed by what he had said. I was always the dull and average looking one out of my group of friends and was never really noticed by anyone, yet purely by accident I was noticed by someone. I still couldn't work out how to take the collar off but it wasn't a priority, only my group of friends would comment on it and they wouldn't be seeing it, or me, for a while.
The next morning there was a knock on the door, suspecting that it would be my friendly postman bringing me more junk that I don't need off Amazon. I answered the door with my collar proudly on display, and it was my postman.
"Nice to see that you still have the collar on."
"I might have to take you up on the offer of helping me to remove the collar as I have no idea how it comes apart."
"Rather than removing the collar, how about adding more metal to complete the look," and off he went on the rest of his deliveries.
As much as I had always loved jewellery, all I had ever had pierced was my ears, 2 sets of holes in my lobes which I don't even wear anything in. I had thought of getting the top of my ear pierced but was told it hurts, I would have liked a nose stud but it would be way too visible. I rooted through one of my drawers upstairs and found some hoop earrings, managed to get one pair in easily enough but the 2nd set had closed up.
Next morning was a Saturday and I was waiting for the postman to see if he would notice the hoops. He knocked the door but didn't have a parcel this time, he didn't even have any post.
"Just checking the collar is still on, nice addition of the hoops too. It's a good start, lets see how you progress over the weekend and I'll check in on you again on Monday."
So I had 2 days to continue the progress, I didn't even know what he was expecting to see in 2 days, so I searched the internet for ideas. I thought I'd give the 2nd holes another go, a little push and pop they went in, stinging a little on the way in. I looked for other ideas but even if I was adventurous enough to want to add to my new total of four piercings, there is nothing open in lockdown. All I could do was gather ideas and dream about what else I could do when lockdown lifts.
I spent the entire weekend looking on the internet for various different additions that could be added to my existing four piercings. I had seen many different jewellery options to even make my 4 existing ones look different. I saw all sorts of different things to put in them, and one thing caught my eye, they were tunnels that you could see straight through your piercing.
Monday morning came and there was a knock on the door, as expected it was my postman checking on my progress over the weekend.
"So you only managed to add another pair of hoops to your original pair, unless you have added metal to other hidden places?".
"Well I have ordered some more stuff to change what I already have but I can't add anything new as nowhere is open," I explained.
"I can help with that, that is if you want to push your boundaries even further," and off he went to finish off the rest of his postal round.
Did I want to? All I know is that it has all that has been on my mind ever since he suggested it after putting the collar on. Is it the collar changing me or is this something that has awoken from inside me, either way it is not something that any of my group of friends would like or would even think of participating in.
Chapter II
So the usual early morning knock on my door was the postman, this time with a number of parcels.
