Dim lit room, soft shadowed gloom. Dark as night, shivers of fright. Come to me slave, and kneel before me. I am your Master and fearfully you adore me. Pain is the vessel, it carries the gift. Knowing it is coming makes your spirits lift.
...
Kneeling before him, you look quietly at the floor and shiver in partial fear and anticipation. Your Master looms before you and you hear him pushing it along in front of him with his foot.
"Oh, GOD!"
You feel butterflies in your stomach, you feel a lump of dread weighing heavy on your soul. Oh, what powerful sensations course through your shivering body! Inching closer, you can see it from the corner of your downcast eyes and you release a soft and quiet sigh.
"The box!"
Joy and fear crowd together in your mind. You hear the box stop and your Master walk to stand directly behind you, he leans down and roughly grasps your hair in his hand and pulls you to your feet.
"Thank you Master" you say in a soft and quivering voice and then you wince from the surprise as he cuffs you lightly across the side of your head.
You hear his gruff voice ask "did I SAY you could speak, little one?"
Now, he commands you to look down at what he has brought you. Looking down, you see the box. It is made of hardwood and has been burned to preserve it and make it even harder. On the sides, at the bottom are the irons. You feel your heart rush, looking at the irons.
Coiled neatly on the top is the chain. Bright and shimmering silver links to wrap around you, to fasten you in its secure hug of control. At the front is a snap ring and another strand of chain.
Stepping in front of you, he clasps a collar of black leather around your throat. He jerks it lightly to show you it's strength and then fastens a leather blindfold over your eyes.
