Chapter
Ten
The
guy started yelling, "She got blood on me," and more.
While they were busy outside her shed, Wren took a piss in the bucket,
which was getting full and stank as the piss in it fermented. Everything
stank in her shed, so much, she couldn't get used to it. She stank,
her blanket stank, the bucket stank and she was out of toilet paper.
Whenever
she thought about where she was and what she was doing a moment
of confusion set in. What was her life hadn't always been like this
and she remembered bits from a dark past. An awareness, for just
a second, of a road through a southern pine forest which went on
forever, narrow, straight with intersections every now and again
but the car she was in never turned.
Brad
used to tell her how much was in the can every night when he had
her inside, before feeding her and sending her out again. Seven
dollars, ten, twelve, eight fifty-seven, nine even, and once eighteen
dollars and thirty-six cents. Five dollars was twenty, ten was forty
plus all the others who put in pennies and rocks or didn't even
bother. Say two hundred times a week at least, maybe several times
that. A thousand times a month. Numbers that didn't mean anything
since there was no definable past in her life anymore. Incidents
occurred in the present, a fucking or a beating, and the present
was all she knew.
She
did remember the first time with Brad, but that memory was overlaid
with all the other times and was blurred.
A
key opened the lock, the hasp slammed against the door and Brad
stood in the bright light. "Come on," he said.
She
crawled after him, not looking over her shoulder to see how many
were waiting for her by her shed. The young girl was there; she
did see her, watching, standing just outside the yard in the tall
weeds, staring.
Maybe
the girl wasn't really there. Wren couldn't be sure.
"Inside,"
Brad said. "You fucking stink. You know that?"
He
made her stay in the kitchen, left her and she heard voices; then
he came back. "Stand over there."
She
stood by the wall with no window, facing him.
"Fuck,
Wren. You're a mess." He pushed her against the wall and felt
her cunt. The bloody fingers were waved in her face. "What's
this?"
She
drank with her eyes his face, his lips, a glutton for anything after
her dark shed.
"Answer
me."
"My
period," she whispered. She hadn't talked since when, except
in her dreams. She talked all the time in her dreams.
"Make
me some coffee."
She
looked about the kitchen but didn't know where to begin. "I
love you," she said.
He
slapped her. "Dog shit, dog shit. Whoever gave you permission
to do anything except be the town's fuck hole?"
She
smiled at him, crying. It was hard to explain but being touched
by him made her happy. She wasn't sure if he even remembered where
she was when she was in her shed, wasn't sure if he cared. Cared
enough to keep her, cared enough to discard her.
"Make
me some coffee."
"I
don't know how." Anymore. She didn't know anything.
Brad
scratched his bare chest, left her.
She
looked out the window at her shed. There were men waiting. She wondered
what they thought of their few minutes with her, of her shame.
"Come
here," Brad said. He tugged her leash and she followed, dropping
naturally to her hand and knees.
She
saw a bare foot with red toenails hanging off the end of Brad's
bed.
"Turn
over," Brad told the woman on the bed.
Wren
waited while Brad fucked the woman on the bed. When he was done
he pulled Wren up onto the bed and pushed her head down onto the
woman's cunt. "Eat."
The
woman wasn't Laura, shorter, red haired, heavily freckled, and plump.
Wren licked and sucked Brad's come from her. The woman didn't move.
Brad
left them and Wren heard him hammering outside. "Get off,"
the woman said. "Get off me."
Wren
knelt on the floor. The woman dressed, leaving the room and coming
back as she put on clothes, a bra, panties, stockings and slip.
A dark blue dress that buttoned down the front. The woman came back
wearing shoes and said to Wren, "Tell your boyfriend I've gone."
The woman left her and Wren heard the door slam.
Not
once in all this time had Brad ever used her cunt. He used her mouth
most often, but half the time cuffed her ears and stopped before
coming. It seemed the longer she spent in her shed, the less she
saw him or his friends.
Brad
made her kneel in the kitchen as he drank his coffee, watching her
intently. His shirtsleeves were unbuttoned and fell back on his
arms as he drank.
"I've
a mind to," he said. He left her, taking his cup.
She
wanted him to bring her stick. She could come without it, only liked
it because of the look on Brad's face when it was in her. His casual
interest, easily distracted.
"Come
on," he said. He held a jumble of cotton line in his hand.
She
followed, crawling more slowly than he walked, trying to keep up.
He
led her to the wall outside next to the spigot. "Your hands,"
he said. "Stand up, you fucking slut."
She
rose and offered her wrists crossed, keeping her head bowed. Brad
quickly tied them. "Over there," he said.
There
was a hook on the wall of her shed, about six inches from the ground.
He forced her to bend, her roped wrists snagged the hook and she
was compelled to remain bent over.
Brad
washed her as the men watched. The hose's hard spray went over her
whole body but focused on her ass and cunt. She was left to dry,
heard more pounding and the men talking.
Sometimes
Wren thought, I'm tired of this, and began to make plans to leave.
That happened less and less frequently now. She wanted Brad to like
her. She imagined them both talking early in the morning over breakfast
before he sent her out to her shed. She imagined pleasing him by
her diligence and her openness. Brad would take a moment to caress
her before locking her shed door behind him and going back to bed.
Brad would handle her breasts with a smile, a secret they shared.
She
was made to sit on the wood bar, legs fully extended, on her toes.
Her wrists were hung from a hook on the eaves of the house high
over head and she looked out into the yard. After a moment she had
to settle her weight on the wood bar and it cut sharply into her
cunt. She rose back onto her toes and stayed there as long as she
could.
The
bar was supported by legs, four of them, two in back of her and
two in front. The lumber was old, brown and sturdy.
"Look
at me, dog shit."
Wren
raised her eyes. Brad's pale eyes stared back.
"Look
at them."
She
faced into the yard. The men clustered by her shed. The girl stood
off by the side of the house in the tall weeds.
"You'll
say you're sorry. You'll beg their forgiveness for dirtying them
and you'll explain who and what you are and for what purpose you
were created."
Created,
she thought. "I'm sorry." She licked her lips and raised
off, as much as she could, the bar with the cruelly sharp edges.
"I'm sorry and I hope you'll forgive me."
Most
of the men who used her never saw her. She never saw them.
"Finish
it."
"I."
"Come
for them."
She
closed her eyes and focused inside her, where the pain was. The
orgasm roared out of her, and when she opened her eyes she was hanging
from her wrists, sitting on the bar and facing the sky. She'd said
something or screamed or something and tried now to lick the spittle
from her chin.
"She
does that all day in that shed. She can't control herself. I'd give
a hundred dollars to the man who marries her. Finish it, dog shit."
"Dog
shit," she said. "My name used to be, I've forgotten,
and now it's dog shit. I'm a cunt, a mouth and an ass who calls
herself dog shit and I'm open for anyone. Please," she said.
"Please
what?"
"It
hurts. Please. Another."
"An
hour on the horse and then she's free all day. Out in the yard,
whatever you want to do to her." Brad said only to her, "They
woke me up because of you and now I have to sit out here and make
sure you don't wander off, you worthless piece of shit."
"Please,"
she said. "It hurts."
"It?
It hurts? Who are you talking to?"
"Dog
shit's cunt hurts, Brad."
"I'm
not interested in listening to your whining." He left her and
walked to the girl watching them.
Dog
shit, Wren. Dog shit rose onto her toes and wriggled her fingers,
trying to disrupt the painful sensation in her hands.
"You,"
Brad said to the girl. "If I ever see you here again, I'll
toss you in the shed with her. Understand?"
The
girl's eyes were huge as she stared at Brad.
"Get
out of here."
The
girl looked at dog shit and left, wading through the weeds.
The
men were closer now. "I bet that hurts," one said.
"I'll
be back in an hour," Brad said. He went inside, slamming the
door.
One
of the younger ones reached to her and pinched her tit. Dog shit
bounced on the bar, rose back onto her toes and looked away.
"Here,"
he said, turning her face. "Look at me." He smiled at
her. She tried to smile back.
"She
looks better than I thought she'd look," someone said.
The
young man kicked her foot from under her and she landed hard on
the bar. "She looks like a whore to me. I wouldn't marry her
for a million dollars." He took out a cigarette and lit it.
"I'll
be back in an hour," someone said. Several men left.
The
young man poked at her with the cigarette and she flinched.
Wren.
Dog shit. Wren watched the cigarette's glowing end as he smoked,
standing too close to her.
"You're
a hairy one, aren't you?" The young man stroked her underarm
with the finger holding the cigarette.
