Oh, now Giles and Buffy are n the belly of the beast and have begun to find out just how beastly it is!

Oh, how humiliating for Spike for Buffy to see him that way!

 Save him Buffy! I can't wait to hear more!

*stumbles out of the bathroom, looking quite gray, wiping my mouth* this has gotta be the most disturbingly detailed, horrifying account of torture towards Spike I've ever read. This is far worse than even Reposession's darkness. My reasoning is because the torture occurs in the present rather than as horrible memories of the past. I'm truly shaken by this possibly due to the clinical point of view presented by Maggie Walsh.
I fully admit that I love h/c and angst-ridden stories so, Mabel, please understand I am not bashing your story. You've succeeded where many others fail in sucking me into the story from the first sentence.... you're perhaps a bit too successful...
I will continue to read your story because I'm praying the Spuffy that follows this torture happens soon and is sickeningly sweet. That will hopefully wash away the burning images of Spike's torture from my mind. (Thank god for the RSS feed so I can see the instant new chapters are posted!)
