Tales of the Rope

Chapter 29: Halloween Tricks and Treats Continued

I’ve often wished that adults could go out trick or treating. Not that I crave the candy as much now, but it would be a wonderful way to parade around in public in outrageous costumes and flaunt my bondage. The cowgirl trick would work well. Also the prisoner costume with handcuffs. The legirons would make it hard to get from house to house. But perhaps I could wear one of those pairs with longer chain so that I could walk pretty much normally. Would clink a lot, though.

There are other possibilities. I could be dressed as a mummy with wrappings around my body. Legs would have to be left relatively free but my arms could be well bound with rope under the wrappings and no one could tell. A hunchback leading around a scantily clad Esmeralda who also happens to be bound up would be fun, but perhaps a little too literate for most people.

I would love to make a costume of a skimpy dress, half torn off, and a portable pillory. What I mean is two pieces of wood with half circle holes cut for my neck and wrists. The two pieces would be put together and locked with padlocks on each end. My hands would then be held up at head level and securely locked in place. I could walk around but it would be very awkward to have to carry around that pillory. Would look very nice, though. Maybe someday I’ll get someone to make the portable pillory so I’ll have a new costume for parties.

But the biggest Halloween thrill I ever had I’ve saved to tell for last. For two years in a row I was displayed completely helpless before hundreds of people!

I was a member of a youth organization which shall remain nameless because most of its members weren’t into bondage and would be outraged that a few of us used one of their fund raising events to play bondage games. Besides, I still like that organization and would say nothing to hurt it.

Come Halloween each year, this organization would set up a “Haunted House”. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a Halloween tradition. You take a house or some type of building with rooms and turn it into a haunted house. Each room has displays related to the Halloween theme. There’s always a Dracula who rises out of his coffin when people walk by. There are usually some graves and ghouls, a mummy or two, witches, and werewolves. The place is keep rather dark to heighten the effects and scary music or sound effects are played. The idea is to frighten children. The adults are a little harder to scare but enjoy looking at such gory, monstrous scenes.

male friend of our little bondage club named Nick who we asked to help us. He was generally considered a nerd in school but we knew that he was really just shy. Through our help he discovered that there were

on a Friday night that year, with the haunted house opening on the previous Saturday night. I was picked to be the first mummy. All three of us got there early to set up our display, and also because we wanted everything in place before the adult supervisors looked in. The haunted house was in an empty house and we had a small bedroom to ourselves. But we had to be careful that no one saw our special preparations. The fact that the mummy was going to be tied up under the wrappings was our secret. If we got caught, we figured we would just say it was a joke to keep the person playing the mummy in place and feeling like a real mummy. And

wrists were crossed and tightly tied. My elbows were tied to each other but not touching. When a girl’s hands are tied crossed with rope running both horizontally and vertically around her wrists, you can’t pull her elbows together. The rope around the wrists tightens up as the elbows come together and it usually prevents the elbows from coming more than a few inches from each other. In this case, my elbows were tied together but not so tightly as to make

We had cut several old sheets into strips of cloth, sowing ends together to make pretty long strips. Those were wound around me from ankles to neck. That included being wrapped around my bound arms.

I was helped into the Sarcophagus where those ropes fitted exactly into the holes made in the wood. From behind the wooden board, Nick and Gail tied the rope from my ankles to that from my elbows. They did it tightly enough so that my ankles were pressed against the board, as were my arms. Then the tied the rope from my neck collar
