Wild Affair on the New Year's Express
And the devils on the altar were two.
They spanked me, humiliated me, made me say I was sorry, made me say I was daddy's little bitch.
They trampled my dignity, crushed my spirit. I surrendered everything, sobbing in the dark.
Afterward, as always, they carried me to the tub, massaged me, soothed me.
But I wouldn't give up.
Hemingway wrote in The Old Man and the Sea: A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
I would never give up.
