The Harsh Writer

Moth — Part 1, Chapter 1

Her internship a disaster, she is a moth to the flame of the imperious Ms. Fiammina.

Last updated: February 12, 2023 - Split into chapters.

I considered myself incredibly fortunate to have got a job there. McQuarry were very influential management consultants, and I had been totally overawed by the selection process after applying at a graduate fair event. I had been about to give up, when after a seminar, I had a short encounter with her in the corridor; I confessed my fears, and she talked to me a little. At the end, she had simply smiled at me, and said; ‘Don’t give up. Pretty thing like you; be nice to have you around. I’ll be rooting for you.’ [Read More]

Should THW make Audio versions of some stories?

It was an idea - it was rejected!.

Last updated: February 4, 2023 - Confirmed not happening - also, test hidden image approach.

THW got a bit interested in getting AI text-to-speech services to make audio version of these stories, but this was very clearly not wanted. So it won’t happen…. [Read More]

The Story of Odile Pt10.

Andrew humbles and belittles her as she kneels. She is taken beyond herself; alternately ecstatic and overwhelmed.

Last updated: August 3, 2023 - drink picture added.

She was degrading herself, humiliating herself, she knew. And she pushed herself to it, transfixed by her own willingness, her own neediness to give him everything she could possibly give. [Read More]

The Story of Odile Pt9.

Dismissed, disposed of, made to kneel, Odile goes through trauma, and defeats herself.

Last updated: January 27, 2023 - added shoulder strap pic.

All these tumultuous, enormous feelings! All this thinking about sexual violence and degradation, mental and physical cruelty, pain and humiliation— not as abstractions, as she wrote about them in relation to the art she studied, the often strange perversions of the artists whose lives she knew so much about— but as things she knew were to be inflicted upon her; not as a singular event, either; promised her as an intensifying process, explicitly intended to diminish her as a human being!

The Story of Odile Pt8.

Andrew tells her he will have Maya. Odile has no choice but to accept. Andrew overcomes his doubts. Odile is shocked to find herself cruel.

Last updated: January 22, 2023 - added picture of Odile, posing.

In her mood, at that moment, this simple little speech seemed unbearable; heart-rending— this casual anouncement that he would choose to use another girl for sex when she was there in front of him, so desperately, urgently available, offering herself so carefully, so completely; terribly needy as she was for the transcendence of sex with him [Read More]

The Story of Odile Pt7.

He is casually, cruelly, smilingly relentless; she learns to crush herself.

Last updated: January 6, 2023 - General refinements throughout.

Everything Andrew had said to her about diminishment, about undermining her own worth in her own eyes— all of that, which had been hard enough to hear, to think about, to accept as an idea, now crashed in on her as reality. [Read More]

The Story of Odile Pt6.

Andrew tells her what he means by 'hurt'.

Last updated: May 12, '25 - added Maya picture.

I am happy, too, to see that I have made good on my promise of earlier— to see that I have, now, truly hurt you. Yes, I imagine that your tight little ass will be sore, but that will heal— it is not my meaning. [Read More]

The Story of Odile Pt5.

A great deal can happen, between a limousine, and the entrance to a dining hall.

Last updated: April 24th, 2024 - general text refinements, added paragraphs.

She would be Andrew’s whore. She would accept it. In return for that fleeting, paradoxical feeling of safety, which, after all, was in some mad way connected with being treated like a whore; she would let Andrew have her. [Read More]

Law Firm Whore Pt.2

Left in desperate limbo, then abruptly taken a level down.

Last updated: December 31, 2022 - text refinements.

There was the need in me for something— by this point almost anything— to happen. Anything that would make my experience real, make it mean something— even if that turned out to mean something terrible, I needed it. Equally, though, there was the despair in me that anything, ever, would happen— so solid was the stone wall that seemed to have been built between the events of that afternoon and the daily life of the firm. I had no possible way of imagining just what would happen within the next few hours. [Read More]

Party Favour Pt.1

A good time girl doesn't want the music to stop.

Last updated: 9 December, 2022 - Minor edits, refinements.

‘It is over for us. Over now. I won’t be here tonight. You won’t see me again, little American girl.’ I cried for two days. And then I called a number of a man whose house we had been to for a party. A slightly creepy man who had given me his number after watching me watch a live sex show. [Read More]
