MIMI – IN SHOCK AND DENIAL<br/><br/>Both Masters talked as I enjoyed the other puppy eating me. They chatted away in French and then Master Randall asked me something but I was too far gone for listening and talking. When I was finished Master untied my splayed knees from the milking machine frame and led me around in a small circle. I looked at the other dog who was now sitting up in the usual dog position.<br/><br/><em>That's The Club's dog-sit up position! I've seen some normal dogs in the park and in the street sit up but they don't stick their boobies out quite like that, or spread their knees to expose their parts quite so much!</em>Obviously different owners had different postures but The Club's 'sit' command required the most exposed position I'd ever seen. I had a fear then that this dog had come from The Club too which meant… which meant… she could probably think and speak.<br/><br/>My heart sank, though there was a small germ of hope there too. If she could talk we could be friends and share our adversity together. I looked in the pretty golden Labrador's face.<br/><br/>And froze.<br/><br/><em>I know this face! I know it! It's… God, it's you!</em>My mind lurched and I felt all the blood drain from my face. I shivered.<br/><br/><strong>"Lily? Is that you? Lily? It's me! Uh… I'm…"</strong>Suddenly I had no idea who I was! I couldn't say my own name! It was a complete blank.<em>You awful men! Why have you blanked that out?</em>I could remember daddy and mummy and nee-chan and nii-san quite clearly, their names too. Only… What was our family name? That wouldn't come either. This sudden weird discovery was a shock, and frightening, but not as big a shock as seeing the face before me.<br/><br/><strong>"Lily? What are you doing here? How can you be here?"</strong>She looked different of course but it was her for sure. The ears and differently cut hair and… I looked down… The much bigger chest.<em>Much</em>bigger. Horrid men had done things to her as well! She was pierced as I was. And her sex pierced too I saw then looked quickly away with shame for staring. It was still her! My mind began to come apart. This was too weird and shocking. How the hell did she get here? In my surprise all my talking was in Japanese which Lily knew since she had spent those months in Tokyo studying Asiatic Culture. It was how we had met, she had taken a room in our dorm and stayed for six months.
