The Daily Ritual - Anonymous

He logs on and immediately checks his Friend List to see if She is online. As the realisation sets in that Her name is greyed out and She is not online his heart sinks. There is nothing else on his mind but Her, it doesn’t matter that his list is full of other people online, the only person he wants to talk to is Her. He sits there alone quietly sorting his inventory out the way in which he has done so many times before, every so often checking his Friend List to make sure he hasn’t missed Her log on. Each time the excited flurry to click on the tab fades away and he goes back to his inventory. She is constantly on his mind, desperate to see Her, desperate to hear Her, desperate just to be in Her presence. The presence that makes him feel so loved and so safe.

Finally Her name pops up at the bottom of his screen and his heart skips a beat. An hour or more may have passed, but that no longer matters. He immediately for the last time rushes to his List and brings up the IM window. As his fingers begin to whir away on the keyboard, starting with the usual greeting moving onto how Her day was etc. his mind begins to race with endless possibilities and outcomes to today’s encounter. But before he can think another thought he is kneeling at Her feet. Looking up in admiration, his eyes locked onto Hers never wanting to leave her side again.

As Her eyes seem to look deep inside him, down to his soul, all of his thoughts fly out the window and are replaced with an inner calm and happiness. He watches anxiously as he sees Her hand reach to Her side and pull out a long chain leash. He begins to fidget slightly and bounce with excitement as Her hand moves towards him. The leash clips firmly into place, the familiar sound causing him to smile from ear to ear. For him now the day has truly begun. He is ready to take on the world and it doesn’t matter where or what they do now, just as long as he is connected to Her in mind and leash.

Just as he thinks the day couldn’t start any better, Her voice rings out over his speakers “Come on... let’s go and sit at Dominion”. As Her body silhouettes against the sun through the window and the voice he loves so dearly says his name, he has but a second to allow his excitement to run through his mind before being teleported. As they arrive at the edge of the circle a feeling of pride takes over, ready to be displayed at Her feet. He can’t help but beam with happiness, as he cosies up close to Her feet. He thinks to himself "This is the life".
