Heavy Hemp

The stiffness and heft of the heavy hemp rope weighed heavily on her body and spirit.  

The rope was rough and utterly unyielding as it bound her erect, not like the smooth white cord that I normally use. With only a single coil it constricted her rib cage, preventing her lungs from expanding fully. Perhaps for that reason, she was surprisingly quiet as I worked nearby. Or perhaps it was that with even the smallest movement the rope bit into her and punished her for the transgression.

 

 

Though absorbed in my work, I watched her closely as her head dropped lower and lower. I took her down as she drifted into unconsciousness.
