What Is This All About?

These are my diaries as a Bane – T-6101 – in Second Life, part of The Banishment Program headed by Marine Kelley.

It is based on an online novel called Eudeamon.  It is available for free at www.evil-dolly.com/Eudeamon.doc.

Marine’s description of the story on her blog does it such justice:

“Eudeamon. A novel about... it's difficult to explain. It's about unconditional love, of course, loneliness, rebirth... and a flavor of latex. It's not a fetish novel, and is certainly not meant to be erotic (there are like a handful of such paragraphs). The story is brilliant, the background, rock-solid. Available online for free, it's quite long (91 pages) but you'll read it in one day like I did. The author should really start to write books for a living if you ask me. Don't hesitate to congratulate her… Now why am I talking about this novel? Well, because the book... shook me a little. In a positive way. It's definitely food for thoughts, the kind of book that makes you think about yourself, how you perceive others, what your kinks really mean... It gives you a glance about sub-space, about isolation, despair and how to transcend them, about the limits of human sanity. Like meditation. I feel better now that I've read this book although I cannot clearly point out why. But who cares. Read this book, and you'll know.”

I read the book and the main character really stuck with me.  Marine and The Banishment Program staff have undertaken quite an effort to bring the story to SL.  I could not resist but to experience Katrina’s experience.

So, these are the diaries of T-6101… my experiences as a Bane.

I hope all my friends (most of whom I did not have an opportunity to fully say goodbye to) know how much I love them and that I apologize for leaving so abruptly.  I hope you will understand and that you will still be there when my sentence is over.
