Excellent story! Exactly what we have come to expect from Simon Grail.
However, I would prefer a different ending. One in which Rachel is
discovered by Ian naked as in the story but embarrassed by her
memories. In her bed after leaving hospital, while seeing to her rest,
Ian is bitten by the serpent and becomes a sadist forcing her to tell
him every sorted detail which he recordes.  Fearing being declared
insane, Rachel succumbed to his demands and becomes his reluctant sex
slave. He coerces her to relive the painful nipple and labia piercings
again without anesthesia.  On a camping trip he ties her over a log
and brands her buttocks again deeply. Ian takes total control of
Rachel's life with a sudo-marriage, finally turning her into a true
masochist and impregnated her with 8 children. Rachel lives out her
days as a his sex toy, plaything shared discretely with friends and
colleagues,  humiliated naked on many Holliday outings.   5 out of 5
