Sit down! Stand up! Punishment!

One October day in Paris, under a blue sky, sunny in spite of the season, I headed for Madame Lule's dungeon. After climbing the steps, I found myself facing the door, which Madame Lule opened without even knocking. The door opened and, looking at Madame Lule, I saw something different from the last few sessions. She was wearing a wig with short black hair, which confused me for the first few moments.

- Madame Lule: Come in, are you all right?
- K.: Yes, I'm fine, thank you.
After answering him, I noticed that the expression on his face changed, as if it wasn't the expected answer. 
- Madame Lule: There's something missing!
At the time, I was thinking back, trying to find what was missing by recalling his texts, his sound bubbles on his site and on the ferule. All of a sudden, in a split second, a memory of one of his "Hello, les Oubliettes!" sound bubbles popped into my head, and I remembered hearing "Oui Madame" in the background several times. From there, I decided to answer her again.
- K.: Yes, I'm fine, ma'am.
Watching the expression on his face change, I knew at once that I'd found the missing word. After leaving the bathroom, I headed for the Cruel Boudoir.
Madame Lule opened the door and asked me to kneel down in front of her armchair. 

- Madame Lule: Today I'm going to teach you slave positions. Do you know them?
- K.: No, I don't know them, but I remember searching the Internet for Gorean slave positions after reading one of the tasks in the Malendrier.

To begin with, Madame Lule asked me to do the table position. Judging by the name of the position, I immediately understood what I had to do, and did it without a hitch. Next, I had to do the inspection position. Likewise, from the name, I quickly found the position where you stand with your legs apart and your hands behind your head.
She then ordered me to perform the nadu position, by which time Madame Lule had put a glue on me. I tried to remember the positions I'd seen furtively a few months earlier, but couldn't recall the nadu position. Having no idea, I decided to perform the only position I could remember, which was the kneeling position, sitting on my heels with my hands on my thighs, palm up. From the surprised look on Madame Lule's face, I realized that I had luckily achieved the nadu position.
After that, I had to do the waiting pose, in which I stand with my arms behind my back, and the attention pose, which is similar to the waiting pose, but with my arms at my sides. Naturally, I tried to memorize them so as not to make any mistakes later on, but Madame Lule decided to spice up the exercise by adding a new constraint. She asked me to take a chair, place it opposite hers and explain that from now on, the meaning of the words "sit" and "stand" would be reversed, and if I had the misfortune to make a mistake, I'd be punished.

Mrs. Lule: Do you understand?
K. Yes, I understand.
Madame Lule: One word missing. 5 strokes of the cane on your bottom. Count after each stroke as you thank me!
K. 1 merci Madame, 2 merci Madame, 3 merci Madame, 4 merci Madame, 5 merci Madame.
Madame Lule: The table!
I lowered myself to my knees.
- Madame Lule: You've taken too long, punishment! That'll be 5 strokes of the cane.
- Madame Lule: Inspection!
I hurried off at the risk of being punished again.
- Madame Lule: Sit down!
To avoid being punished once again, I hurried to sit down, but in the next tenth of a second I realized my mistake and quickly stood up, but it was too late.
- Madame Lule: You hesitated, punish! That'll be another 5 strokes of the cane.
- Madame Lule: Humble!
- K. (in my head): Humble? Have we seen it? What's the position?

At that point in my head, it was blackout. Quickly memorizing the different positions, inverting the meaning of the words "sit" and "stand" while not forgetting to add "Madame" at the end of my sentences, I was lost, the mindfuck was starting to work.
- K.: I don't know.
- Madame Lule: Punishment! Times two! One more word missing! That'll be 10 strokes of the cane.
After a few minutes and countless punishments, Madame Lule announced: 
- Madame Lule: Your buttocks are getting quite red, so I'm going to change the punishment.
Madame Lule brought out a box and a remote-controlled electrostimulation machine.
- Madame Lule: This remote control will be my new way of punishing you. Sit down on the chair. On your feet!
I stood up, but unfortunately I'd made another mistake.

- Madame Lule: I'm going to have to punish you!
Madame Lule pressed the button on the remote control and sent me an electric shock.
 - Madame Lule: Sit down!
This time I stood my ground and made no mistakes (for once).
- Madame Lule: Get up!
- Madame Lule: Sit down! Be careful!
K (in my head): Sitting means standing. What's that again? Are your arms behind your back? I don't know, uh.....
- Madame Lule: Too late! Punishment and this time I'm increasing the intensity!

After a few electric shocks following my many wrong responses to her orders, Madame Lule asked me to sit down and tied my hands to the chair legs.
- Madame Lule: Sit down!
- K: That's not possible, Madame.
- Mrs Lule (laughing): Oh dear, I'm going to have to punish you again!
