Well, I can't guarantee that, but you can at least get to know him a little better...
I've posted a little extra chapter, titled "Perspective: Jack".
p.s.
This is in "Sara's Story." |

Funny language spelling coincidence:
"Hase" is rabbit, "Hasen" is the plural
and "hassen" is the verb "to hate" in German.
Funny coincidence... _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

Well, I just finished reading the story so far and normally I don't care for rape and torture stories too gruesome and violent for my taste regardless of the amount of sexual content. Sara's Story however is an exception I guess it has something to do with the story being told from Sara's perspective and how after everything that has happened to her she still wished to live even at the end of chapter 10 even though she hoped for the end to come soon I'm sure she still hopes for survival. It shames me to say it but I believe I would commit suicide or try to do something that would bring a quick end like attack a guard with a knife while working in the kitchen long before the events of ch.10, so I see it as a victory over her other masters and Jack for Sara that after everything she still wants to live for one in Sara's position it takes more strength and courage to live then to just give up and die. I don't know all this may have been said earlier in the thread but I wanted you know I that I enjoy reading the story and I now anxiously await the next chapter to Sara's Story as well as SiasFL, very well done Nameless BRAVO! _________________ "Political Correctness is tyranny with manners."

It's pretty much what I expected from Perspective: Jack and I'd still like to use Jack as a scratching post; I wouldn't dream of using him for anything else, 'cept maybe target practice - I may be a predator species and he might be a prey species but I reckon he'd be rather disagreeable eating.

One of the main reasons she has not given up is her religion. Not quite Christianity, but close, this world's equivalent. There is a very strong taboo against suicide. Sara in Chapter 6 wrote: | I hang my head in shame "Sometimes I even thought about killing myself." | She is ashamed to even think of it.
I have not put this aspect of the story very prominently, but... it is a very important part of her, and if she does not have a lot of hope for things to improve in this life... But if kills herself, she gives up her chance at going to heaven.
The religion something that gives her the strength to go on.
But since it also advocates obedience to the ruling class, is also convenient for those in power since it helps keep the slaves content. _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

*Sigh* I can think of some variations on Christianity that'd fit that description. *G* Identifying those will be left as an exercise in research for the reader.

Well, that should not be too difficult to figure out. Hint: If any organisation has a hirearchy, then it will advocate obeying those above oneself.
Actually, her religion is not that bad. (I have given this a bit of thought, and I have the seeds of another story...) It is a rather small protestant church most of whose members emigrated to this world's equivalent of North America. _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

I think a fitting punishment for Jack and his friends if they are caught is for them to be bonded into slavery for their crimes against their lord, the willful and wanton damage of his property (namely Sara) and then sold to a master who would be just as "caring" for a slave's treatment as they were. _________________ "Political Correctness is tyranny with manners."

Well, looks like we were of similar thought concerning punishment except I don't think I would have killed Jack off so quick it seems to easy an end if you ask me I'd have made sure Jack experienced every humiliation and form of abuse he dished out to Sara or would this be the Jack of web comic fame? At least Sara got the satisfaction of seeing the look on his face when she asked if he wanted to beg for his life strange though how the master had forced Sara into killing Jack practically threatening her to let him hurt her again what's up with that? I can see Sara feeling some guilt over shooting Jack despite what he did to her and obviously others she did shoot him in cold blood when you think about it, how would she deal with that I wonder. Sara's disfigurement may be a blessing in disguise with fewer furs wanting her to entertain them now so long as the master makes good on the mistresses promise that she would not be killed or sold because of it, although I think Henry will still ask for her at night I may be wrong but I do believe that he has fallen in love with Sara, ah well I guess we shall see in later chapters.

Is it the same Jack? Maybe, maybe not. I am a big fan of the comic, so it is not quite a coincidence that the rabbit is named Jack, but I would not say it is him.
As for killing him, it is mainly her religion, it is acceptable to kill in self-defense but otherwise not.
How will she deal with it? You'll have to wait for the next chapter....

Chapter 12 has been posted. Have fun.
I'm particularly fond of the first scene, I think it may be one of the best I've written up to now. What do you think? _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

Great chapter Nameless I enjoyed it a lot , so Henry and Sara grow closer to each other. I wonder if he will try to buy her from his lord and grant her, her freedom, can he even do that could his lord? Or are slaves considered a cast that she can only be released from by the imperial government since she was originally branded to slavery for her village's inability to pay its taxes to the empire? _________________ "Political Correctness is tyranny with manners."
