&lt;p&gt;I opened my eyes feeling sore, but well rested. The room was dark, I was laying in bed but had no idea which part of the house I was in and what time it was. I must have drifted off after our little session yesterday. I tried to move my hands, but found them still tied behind my back. Light pressure on my neck let me know that the collar was also still on. I was very thirsty and my bladder was also reminding me that I needed to take care of business.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Mirror in the Dark</title><link>/stories/2023/12/10/a-mirror-in-the-dark/</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2023/12/10/a-mirror-in-the-dark/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="chapter-1"&gt;Chapter 1&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hello, my name is Alice Turner, and I&amp;rsquo;m here for my appointment,&amp;quot; I introduced myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The clerk at Clone Unlimited Corp gave me a puzzled look and then glanced down at her monitor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh, yes, right… Ms. Turner? I see you in our schedule, but Dr. Stevenson is not in his office at the moment, and I&amp;rsquo;m afraid you&amp;rsquo;ll need to wait for a few minutes. Fifteen at most. I apologize for the inconvenience,&amp;rdquo; the clerk replied.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Mirror in the Dark</title><link>/stories/2023/12/10/a-mirror-in-the-dark/</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2023/12/10/a-mirror-in-the-dark/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="chapter-2"&gt;Chapter 2&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was finally time. I was about to live through my fantasy. So why did I feel so nervous? My clone was already downstairs, patiently waiting for me, and I was having cold feet. No, this is what I had been dreaming about for months now, and so much was already invested in this crazy plan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I slowly made my way downstairs and stopped at the basement vault door. The door was unlocked, and as I pushed it open, I saw my clone happily sitting on one of the sofas, waiting for me with a big smile. I closed the door and locked it with a digital lock that I had installed as the first thing in my basement renovation project. The new lock could be opened and closed either with a key card or a passcode, as well as controlled from my laptop upstairs. I opted to use a key card instead of a code, and the heavy mechanism slammed shut.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Tackling the Debt</title><link>/stories/2020/05/04/tackling-the-debt/</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2020/05/04/tackling-the-debt/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="chapter-1---the-first-dollars"&gt;Chapter 1 - The first dollars&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just broke up with my boyfriend. I loved him very much, but there was no other choice. He took it badly and said that I should have told him earlier about my problem; he was a hundred percent right. I shouldn&amp;rsquo;t have started dating him three months ago, but I did. I lied to get close to him because I needed affection, support. I shouldn’t have allowed love to enter my heart in my current situation, but I was weak, and I needed someone to sleep and cuddle with before it was all over. I used him, and I was very sorry about it. I would carry this mistake with me for as long as I lived. I hurt him, like I did to all the others.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Jane Times Five 2: Plus One</title><link>/stories/2015/05/17/jane-times-five-2-plus-one/</link><pubDate>Sun, 17 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/05/17/jane-times-five-2-plus-one/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="janetimesfive.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jane Times Five&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: Plus One&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Is it ready yet?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;No, not yet, but Jane says it&amp;rsquo;s getting close. Just be patient.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;This waiting is killing me.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Except for the color and style of their hair, the three women standing by the door were identical to each other. They were, in fact, clones, three of four created by gifted scientist Jane Morris to help with her work. Physically, mentally, they were exact copies. There were, however some differences, other than the obvious hair color.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Jane Times Five</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/jane-times-five/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/jane-times-five/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&amp;rsquo;s Note&amp;quot; This story was inspired by a set of private messages exchanged on the forum between myself and Lady Jane.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ladies, I&amp;rsquo;ll be gone for three days this time, so you&amp;rsquo;ll be taking care of things until I get back. I know you&amp;rsquo;re already familiar with your jobs, but let&amp;rsquo;s go over them, just to make sure.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
