Payment In Full

Our next 'Story of the Day' is Payment In Full by imreadonly2 which has been recommended by LSF member, opb:

"Anybody wanting an explanation of the expression 'hoist by your own petard' need look no further than this story. An unassuming title belies the treasure beneath as a woman engineers herself into a situation which delivers much, much more than she bargained for along with plenty of laughs for us as we enjoy her predicament safe in the knowledge that she cannot complain.

There are no great philosophical insights here, just a healthy dose of schadenfreude (actually it's a pretty good example of that as well) and a small comment on the predilections of beetles.

It's well worth a read if you like your heroines trussed and spanked and subjected to other indignities, and in particular, being hoisted by their own petards."


Synopsis:

Part 1 - As a gift to her boyfriend April gags and ties herself in an exposed manner to the furniture, leaving him a note instructing him to punish her. But when her boyfriend doesn't show up, her neighbors are happy to oblige and extract revenge for her previous teasing of them by filling in.


Part 2 - Self-bondage, unexpected visitors, and the most irritating, persistent beetle! Part Two features April listening to the Mexican gardeners working outside and receiving a subsequent visit from Bertha Mae, an unpleasantly malicious church-lady type with a score to settle!

I read it long ago and go back to it from time to time when I want to have a good laugh again It's absolutely hilarious!

I loved that story.

It's so nice to see the return of Story Of The Day! "Payment In Full" is a great choice.

grea !

Good story indeed.

Thank you opd, and everyone.

This was actually inspired by a true story a friend told me about putting herself in bondage for her boyfriend, who then called and left a message on the answering machine saying he had car trouble, and her sweating out being discovered.

She also said she was discovered in bondage by her father in law once, and he didn't seem in any particular hurry to leave, taking his time to express his amazement, before offering his gagged daughter-in-law a very lengthy and protracted apology for violating her privacy, moving around to touch her on her wrists and ankles and asking her repeatedly if she was "sure you're all right" while she nodded frantically, very much wishing him to leave! But it's impossible to be too thorough in these situations, I think you'd agree.

The beetle was actually inspired by something in one of the Blue Moon books, where the girl is strapped down for punishment, and her spanked bottom is greased with salted kitchen fat. The window is left open, which allows some boys to watch her, and a swarm of summer flies discover her and enjoy breakfast off her freshly spanked bottom. Richard Manton has a good time describing her disgust, and her wish that she had a tail so she could whisk the horrible beastly things away! But of course they are in charge, and she is not, and she finally gives up and in exhaustion lets them enjoy themselves.

I wasn't thinking this would be hit but I'm delighted that so many have discovered and enjoyed this rather bizarre tale.
