I love the metaphor (?) of her ordinary clothes being the real bondage. And this from someone who isn't into ponyplay at all! Five stars.
Much obliged, joy_of_cooking! Without going crazy on symbolism; yes, the clothes can be seen either as bonds or as a hull (or both). They may represent what's holding Miriam back and blocking her from happiness.
Wonderful speculation, detailed and inventive, of the inner life that would animate such a creature. The speculative process itself mixing empathy with objectification. A pleasant sort of idyll for a reader in search of Eros.
@all:
I am pleasantly surprised by how well the concept and the narrative angle are received. It's great the story found a readership that puts so much thought into the topic. Glad you enjoyed it!
