This is NOT a fiction short story.&nbsp; It is an article postulating a theory about the possible origin of John Willie's obsession with bondage.&nbsp; However, it includes an excerpt from A.E.W. Mason's detective story, AT THE VILLA ROSE, first published in 1916, in England.&nbsp; Also, there are two of Willie's photos.<br /><br />Disclaimer:&nbsp; I did not write this article or create the illustration or photograhs.&nbsp; All copyrights are retained my the author and artist.&nbsp; I believe these to be in the public domain but if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.
