Dear Shoeblossom,
As an artist of sorts, I remember reading that the writer William Burroughs spent his final years, after his debacles in New York and Tangier, in very quiet Lawrence, Kansas.
It wasn't as exciting as Mexico, where he'd shot Mrs. Burroughs' head off while playing "William Tell" with a martini glass so precariously placed...but it was time.
I was once an industrial designer, and retired to Grand Island, Nebraska, which is in the county seat, and is pleasant and relatively cheap.
I was born in Omaha, and grew up in Lincoln, but spent much of my time creating business miracles elsewhere, and was happy to return to simpler climes.
James Baldwin had to leave Harlem for France to write about...HARLEM. And I got away from all the businesses, and have now completed my greatest industrial design. I have created...Marsalis.
I bought one of those seven thousand dollar "Love Dolls" that are so popular with the incel communities. A gorgeous thing, a tall redhead with bright green eyes, and tits out to--well you can imagine.
But, given my masochistic tendencies, I didn't want a limp mannequin to play with, and since I have some skill in robotics, I seem to have created an android Domina!
I won't go through all the machinations that I had to go through. But I've spent years going to various dominant professionals. I've been thrashed in Paris, skewered in Switzerland and denied in Poughkeepsie.
Most of my experience pre-Marsalis has been cerebral and masturbatory, which is a sad thing, but of course one wants a fantasy that follows a script. There's only a certain amount of spontaneity a submissive can tolerate, no?
"What do you want me to hit you for?" I remember my first wife, Estelle asking me. I finally got my buxom hausfrau to take me over her knee, and administer the paddle to my bare bottom, but of course what ended up happening was...
Estelle ACTUALLY tried to get me to do more housework and give her the credit card more by scaring me with the threat of excessive punishment!
That's not a fantasy, is it?
The fantasy is, I am the servile oaf obeying a dominant wife's every whim--not being allowed to watch sports, or hang out with the guys, spending time in the corner when not getting my ass flogged , and only being allowed a paltry orgasm a month with lots of excessive teasing.
But when I'm not into that "space" I enjoy my life, and have many interests, and certainly don't want to waste more time than maybe a couple hours a week serving a beautiful woman, or at least what I created.
This morning, I pressed a few buttons on my remote, constructed from a neighbor's discarded Iphone and beautiful statuesque Marsalis strode into the house and smiled at me cruelly.
"Lionel, you bad, bad boy. This place is a shithole." The voice comes from a domina friend of mine, and Marsalis is programmed with a vocabulary of three thousand words.
"Y-yes ma'am." I began trembling slightly and rubbing my hands together nervously.
Marsalis came closer, and I sniffed her perfumed cleavage.
I had dressed her the night before in a bright blue tube top and shorts, and armed her with a wooden Ping-Pong paddle, and of course the dreaded strap.
I certainly don't want to clean the entire house, I have a service for that, but just for the fantasy, I can do one chore, it's about an hour on Marsalis's battery.
"I told you to keep this place clean, didn't I? Drop your pants."
