Belinda Stewart-Wilson
(a request by @deeperinmypower)
“Do you remember why you’re here, Belinda?”
The voice spoke from the screen in the ceiling, the screen with the beautiful light, the spiraling colors that seemed to drag her down, down into their depths, or was that up into their heights?
“Yes, that’s right, to rescue your daughter.”
Had she said something? It was hard to remember, hard to think of anything but the lights–the lights! She’d come to… to… swirling blues and greens, down down into depths of–concentrate! She’d come to her daughter’s house… no, her daughter’s boyfriend’s house! Named, named… something, something that began with P, what was his name, P, P for purple, like the purple spiral spinning slowly before her eyes, inside her head, pulling all her thoughts into itself–
“Do you remember why you’re here, Belinda?”
His name didn’t matter, what mattered was that her daughter had dropped out of school and started living with some, some, some man, and that was bad because, because… dancing lights that swayed, dizzy dancing lights–it was bad! And she had to bring her daughter home!
“Yes, that’s right, you came for your daughter.”
And the man, whatsisname, P-something, or maybe something that started with M, it didn’t matter, but he let her in, and there was her daughter, kneeling, naked, staring at a screen. Belinda remembered talking to her, then pleading, then shouting, and when there was no response, she turned to look at the screen, and…
“Do you remember why you’re here?”
The screen, the lights, they were doing something to her! They’d done something to her daughter, her daughter Sandra… Sonya? Stephanie? Something that began with S, anyway. It was so hard to think, and so easy to just watch the lights.
“Yes, that’s right, you came to be with your daughter.”
The lights on the screen did something to S… s…. to… to her daughter. And now they were doing it to Bel… B… something beginning with B. Getting into her head. Making it hard to think. Changing her thoughts. Programming her.
“Do you remember why you’re here?”
Yes, that was it. That was what was happening. She was being programmed. But she could fight! She just had to hold on to who she was and why she was here. She was B… or wait, didn’t her name start with an S? Or was that someone else?
“Yes, that’s right, you came to join her.”
The lights were so distracting, so confusing, but she was clinging hard to who she was and why she was here. She had to think it through carefully. Her own name. Started with S. And there was someone else whose name started with S. And she was here so she could join… other S. But they were being programmed by M…
“Do you remember why you’re here?”
She did! She remembered, and she clung to that memory as the rock of solidity, the one thing that no amount of programming could take away from her. She was Slave, and she came here to join her daughter Slave in being programmed by Master.
“Yes, that’s right…”
The colors swirled. The voice spoke. But it didn’t matter. Slave knew who she was and why she was here.
