Stories of Chiara (long story)
Stories of Chiara Night rituals My name is Chiara, I am 20 years old and live in Rome. Today is a hot summer evening, I am alone at home, my parents are at the beach all week and my sister is out with a friend. The clock chimes eight o'clock -- time to get ready for the ritual that has accompanied me since I was a child before bedtime when I am alone. Under my bed, a large double bed with dresser inherited from my grandmother, is a well-hidden box, the contents of which I have accumulated over the years since I realized my passion for "bondage." Of course, there was a time when I didn't even know it was called that, I simply felt a strange thrill when playing Indians and cowboys among friends I was inevitably taken captive and bound and gagged in a very inefficient way with scarves and scraps of cloth found randomly in closets at home. I never told anyone about it, I simply kept playing the victim and when they proposed to reverse the roles I refused by making up all kinds of excuses.
