Pet Shelter

She heard the clatter of

two of everything and knew

she would eat alone again and her

collar felt suddenly

tighter on her slender neck

heavier than her heart in which she

knew they were tired of her and had

found a new pet

some slutty schoolgirl like she had been

eager to learn and to

submit to Sir or Madam

happy to be safe and secure

permanently sore and aroused

and she couldn’t help but

stir her buttocks against her heels to

jolt the double-plug within her

always-available but now

neglected innards as she

wondered whether there was an

Old Pet’s Shelter somewhere for

girls like her or whether she would have to

pretend to be what

passed for normal in an

otherwise empty world.
