Wet Nurse: Fantasy
Feb. 26th, 2010 11:15 amShe nursed her own child as long as she could, but it didn't take very long before the child was full and sleepy and her master noticed. Then he sent for his dogs. She did not want to watch as they suckled at her breasts, but eventually, she did, if only to wince and brace herself for a nip from their teeth if she moved wrong, or to push them away if they started getting rowdy--her master allowed her that much, at least. In time, she could not help herself from noticing the differences in the faerie hounds, their silky ears, and the way their eyes turned to her, sometimes, when the master scolded them, as if they asked her for help. She began to not fear their feeding time so much. She would whisper in their ears, stories of what might happen once her child was weaned.
Inspiration: News of the Weird: In Uganda, "for seven years had been forced to breastfeed her husband's hunting dogs as she was nursing the couple's own children. Farmer Nathan Awoloi of Pallisa explained that his dogs needed to eat, and since he was forced to send Jennipher's family two milk cows in order to win her hand, he felt his demands were reasonable. "
Story Potential: High
Notes: Well, it's creepy enough that it could work pretty well with a dark fairy tale.
