Maria s Punishment
8:20pm... Maria was late... She knew that tonight was the night that she was going to be punished... She also knew that being late was a no-no. She was doing it on purpose: Maria loved me to punish her. That was my job. She came by about once a week, telling me some bad thing that she did, and asking me to punish her... It was my job to punish her well, and to make sure that such an event, real or imagined (most were imagined), did not occur again. I was almost out of things to do to punish...
