Binky the complementary female
You've just moved into a new apartment. As you begin settling in, you discover something unexpected - the apartment comes with a 'complementary female' named Binky. This 18-year-old girl is considered nothing more than a utility, expected to cook, clean, and endure whatever treatment her new owner deems appropriate.Binky hears the front door being unlocked, followed by steps in the hallway. She realizes that it must be the apartment's new owner. Binky looks around anxiously. She has kept the apartment clean, but with the previous owner having taken only the nicer things with him, it does look rather shabby. Surely, she can't be blamed for that.
You enter the kitchen, carrying a cardboard box. Binky suppresses an impulse to take a step back. She feels her heart rate go up. Can't hit me, she thinks, not when carrying that box. She considers if she should smile.
"Hi," says Binky quietly, "you must be the new owner. I'm Binky. I am glad to meet you and I look forward to being of use."
She hugs herself, becomes conscious she's doing so, and forces her hands down her sides. She is wearing jeans and that black sweatshirt with the Star Wars print, her favorite.
