&lt;p&gt;We drove for a while, my disorientation rendering time and distance as mere abstract concepts. Eventually the smooth road noise changed to a gravelly crunch for a while before the car drew to a stop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was raining even heavier, quite torrential. I felt the heavy drops hitting my rubber shell as if I were stood beneath a particularly powerful shower.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Storage Unit</title><link>/stories/2018/03/20/the-storage-unit/</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2018/03/20/the-storage-unit/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Abandonment. It&amp;rsquo;s not for everyone - peoples life experiences can make
this a no go for many people. Thankfully not for me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is a true story about a fantasy I had, that was brought to life earlier
this year. This won&amp;rsquo;t be a super long story - because there wasn&amp;rsquo;t a lot
that happened. It just took time, lots of time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I told my hubs about a fantasy that I&amp;rsquo;ve had for years. a fantasy to be
handcuffed, leg ironed, naked, locked up somewhere and just left.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>All I want for Christmas... is to be tied up</title><link>/stories/2017/01/31/all-i-want-for-christmas...-is-to-be-tied-up/</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/01/31/all-i-want-for-christmas...-is-to-be-tied-up/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It was Christmas Eve, and Imogen was getting excited about her plans for the Festive period. But she was also extremely nervous about the train of events that she was about to set in motion. Yet these two conflicting emotions only seemed to make the task ahead ever more enticing, as she braced herself for her trip into the unknown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;****&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imogen had always loved Christmas. When she was very young, the bright lights, the decked out Christmas tree, the carol singers, the anticipation of Santa’s visit, the smell of roasting turkey and the family opening presents in front of the fire, were for Imogen – as they were for most children - a time of magic and delight. As she’d reached her late teenage years, the allure of alcohol fuelled Christmas parties and time spent with her friends had all added to the joy that she experienced throughout December.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
