All Comments on 'Goodbye, Master'

...is there is nothing in human perception worthy of it.

To begin, your writing is very good. You chose a unique way of telling this story. I guess you made it very believable because I can't imagine what kind of asshole Master would dismiss a loyal, well trained, slave. Unless He was training her for someone else. That is the only part I can't find believable. But I know, it takes all kinds. Good luck and nice story.

I suprised myself when I followed the lure to BDSM, as I thought I had no interest in the subject. After much consideration I came to understand it's the deep, soul stirring emotion invoved that so fascinates me. It's a story like this that captures me.

As for why this Master would cast her aside for another, well, he is a man, afterall. Perhaps she should have given herself to a woman.

And quite realistic. I was a dom in the bdsm scene for a few years, and this is one of the things that made me pull back from "playing the field."

I quickly learned that if you take a woman's submission in any real way, you're going to hurt her deeply if a long-term relationship doesn't work out. And, that bond can form after only a few sessions, literally, a few "dates." I came to think of that particular moment as "communion," a sort of mingling of the spirit that can take a 'play' session out of play and into something real and bonding in minutes, and you don't realize it until it's done. It can also happen over the internet, via chat channels. A sudden meeting of the minds where two minds move as one, and *wham* someone's in for hurt if there's no prospect of longevity to it.

And, while it's very popular to blame men for all the world's woes, I think it's simply a thing that dominants have to learn the hard way. Some never care that they cause serial heartbreak. I saw the same thing with female doms I knew, and their female submissives. Others quickly realize that they're playing with people's hearts, and sometimes, with damaged-people's hearts, and they change their behavior. It's not about men or women, it's about having to learn by doing, which is part of being human.

I caused a woman some heartache before I figured it out (which caused me considerable heartache as well), and after that, I decided to stop taking on submissives I didn't plan to at least consider keeping for the long term. In short order, I found my wife. We've been married 15 years now.

Such a saddening short story. Loved the description of the room and her surrender of the time she spent there.
