After the thorns came the cut. Not a punishment this time, but a coming together.
Miss accidentally cut her finger, so she felt I should share with her. I was excited, but worried that I could not do it. I really wanted to know that I was sharing what she felt, but deliberately cutting myself was a new experience. I had pierced myself before, but taking a knife to my skin, especially on a nerve alive fingertip, would take some screwing up of courage.
I tried a knife, and it just slid across the comparatively tough pad of my fingertip. I tried harder, but it's amazing how resilient skin can be. I tried another couple of knives with the same result. I would need much more pressure to break through.Then I remebered Miss had said it was a serreted knife she had cut herself with. I found one and slashed quickly at my finger. Instant pain and a welling up of blood. Whew! A big smile and a sense of relief. I had done it! I still feel it now, and feel closer to the one who owns me. Thank you, Miss
