&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2a: The Nice Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The truck&amp;rsquo;s engine then shut off and a second later I heard the driver&amp;rsquo;s door slam, telling me the driver was getting out. Would he discover me trapped and spooled up as I was, or just get what he wanted and leave while I hid? I assumed Ms. Becket was doing much the same, but her absence left me feeling abandoned and vulnerable.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Johnson Rope Factory 2b: The Not So Nice</title><link>/stories/2016/01/13/the-johnson-rope-factory-2b-the-not-so-nice/</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/01/13/the-johnson-rope-factory-2b-the-not-so-nice/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continued from &lt;a href="johnsonropefactory.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2b: The Not So Nice short conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I then heard the truck&amp;rsquo;s engine shut off and what I presumed was the drivers door open and close, followed by a nearly identical noise a second time, telling me that there were two people who had just exited the truck. I say nearly identical because the second door had been closed with a gentle touch, where the first had not.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Johnson Rope Factory 2c: Beckett Automation</title><link>/stories/2016/01/13/the-johnson-rope-factory-2c-beckett-automation/</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/01/13/the-johnson-rope-factory-2c-beckett-automation/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continued from &lt;a href="johnsonropefactory2b.html"&gt;part 2b: The Not So Nice short conclusion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2c: Beckett Automation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the rest of the dark conclusion to The Johnson Rope Factory that I hadstarted some time ago, you are forewarned as it might not be to everybody&amp;rsquo;s liking. Constructive comments always welcome, especially with regard to the nature of the ending.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;hellip;I found myself (and my spool) on that truck deck and strapped down for shipping while pondering the irony of my fate, my lust for kinky games in combination with a desire for a new and dominate playmate perhaps my final undoing. I had a foreboding feeling that one day my precious machines could play a part in sealing my fate, but not like this&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Johnson Rope Factory</title><link>/stories/2015/12/15/the-johnson-rope-factory/</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/12/15/the-johnson-rope-factory/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It was the simplest of factories making the simplest of things, low grade rope for clotheslines, and I the saleswoman partially responsible for the resurgence of our industry&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What had been a dying market was making a comeback with people wanting to be clean and green, it being once again fashionable to hang ones clothes out to dry on the line, weather permitting. We had contracted out for some provocative commercials to be shown in the tree hugger&amp;rsquo;s demographic, and the response was overwhelming. A woman every man would like to come home to hanging her things to dry on one of our lines, some quite sexy and promising fun for the lucky man once he purchased and hung it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Secret of the Seamstress</title><link>/stories/2015/03/08/secret-of-the-seamstress/</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/03/08/secret-of-the-seamstress/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The fashion industry was all a flutter over a new seamstress who came onto the scene from nowhere. Her name was Ginger but she preferred to be called &amp;ldquo;The Seamstress&amp;rdquo; by her fans, colleagues, etc. She came out with a line of activewear made from a new form of spandex that she apparently invented herself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her competitors were desperate in reverse engineering her amazing new fabric as it conformed to the body better than anything that came before it.
It was super silky, shiny, and beyond stretchy. Each of the garments in her clothing lines had one size that fit all and it really meant it.
The fabric could be washed at any temperature and seemed impervious to fading and staining. In fact, her competitors were completely baffled as to how she was able to offer it in so many colors, prints, and patterns as conventional dye didn&amp;rsquo;t seem to work on it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Secret of the Seamstress</title><link>/stories/2015/03/08/secret-of-the-seamstress/</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/03/08/secret-of-the-seamstress/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The fashion industry was all a flutter over a new seamstress who came onto the scene from nowhere.
