First Bath

I had to try out the new bathtub.

A First Night Alone

“Send me a risqué picture,” he said. It’s all new. How much is too much? How much is not enough? I was alone in the house for my first overnight. This felt daring enough. This time.

Contrition

It was bound to happen – overdue, really. 12×5, cold, with the heavy cane. Frankly I’m surprised I’m not a whole lot redder, as much as I was wincing, yelping and jumping around.
