UNTITLED BY GF Lost in the Unknown Her surroundings were like that of a dream. She could barely see - or not at all, there was no way to be sure. The sounds coming to her ears were unnatural, eerie, out of this world. She thought she was flying, without having to move her arms or legs. Then, she felt a sharp pain coming from her bottom, much more distinct than what she had been sensing before. Too precise. From that moment on, she seemed to fall back on Earth, and rapidly. She could now open her eyes a little. The room she was in was dimly lit. Looking straight in front of her, she could see a plain grey wall with nothing decorating it. Then, she realized she was on her tummy, although her numb arms and legs were not straight alongside her body. She tried to move her limbs, to no avail. She felt that the left side of her face was resting on something soft. She tried to turn her head and in an effort to lift it she was able to look on her left. The same plain grey wall came into view. Then, she rested her chin on the same padding and the wall she saw in front of her was no different than the other two. As her senses became more acute, she was able to realize that her upper body was resting on the same narrow padding her head was. She could also feel that her legs were bent perpendicularly to her body, and that her knees were on a harder surface. She tried to bring her ankles up, off the surface, but she could not. The numbness slowly vanishing from her arms made her try to move them. Again, she was unable to. She lifted her head once again and was able to look down at her hands: they were open, her fingers extended, flat on the same soft surface her knees were resting on. A sense of panic started to overwhelm her at the sight of round and thick, bright silver restrains around her wrists. She saw that she could move her fingers but that it was simply impossible to get her arms free of the restrains. It was now with her eyes wide open, fully aware of her senses that she tried once again to look around the best she could. She realized that she was on some sort of table, since she noticed for the first time that she was high over the floor. And, sure enough, she could now see the edge of that table, being about one foot away on either side of where her hands were. Her breathing was now quick. She coughed twice, involuntarily, which made her feel the pain in her bottom, the same pain that seemed to have started everything. For several minutes she cried and called for help. Nothing happened, no one came for her. She started to sob softly, hiccupping irregularly, keeping her left cheek on the padding, staring at the empty wall as silence slowly took over the room once more, when her sobs finally subsided. She could not understand what she was doing there; let alone how she had gotten there in the first place. It was as if her memories had been stolen from her. And yet, she did remember who she was, where she lived, who her parents were, where she went to school, her favourite dolls. Disrupting her from her thinking, a low humming sound invaded the room. As the minutes went by, the sound grew louder. And then, she felt a searing pain at her anus, as if it was being open by an enormous object. She screamed in surprise. A moment later, something cold started to invade her bottom. Keeping her entire body still and her eyes big in attention, she tried to concentrate on the odd sensation, trying to discard the pain she still felt between her bottom cheeks. Before long, she felt her tummy being quickly filled with the cold substance. Suddenly, she felt strong, painful cramps in her abdomen that made her scream loudly. She could feel her tummy becoming so distended, pressing painfully against the padding she had been installed on, that the rest of her upper body was literally being pushed up, pulling uncomfortably at her restrains and stretching the skin of her hands. Shortly after, the cramps she was still feeling were combined with a searing burning sensation. She felt she would explode and screamed as loud as her young lungs permitted her. She tried with all her might to push whatever was inside her, with no success. At the peak of her pain, her entire body shivering from the cold liquid in her tummy, she started to feel a different sensation: the substance was quickly leaving her tummy. After barely a minute, she felt empty and relieved. She rested her head back on the padding, panting heavily, cold, trying to regain her calm. She still felt her bottom stretched open, but that seemed quite acceptable after what she had just felt. Her serenity was once again interrupted when something began filling her tummy again. This time is was something really hot. She panicked once more, furiously struggling against her restrains, trying to get up, trying to get away, trying to escape what could only be her worst nightmare ever. And then the burning sensation came again. She felt that her insides were on fire from the intense heat and the stinging. The torture did not seem to want to stop and she cried and screamed at the top of her lungs, her wails almost bestial. Why was it happening to her? Where was she? She thought she was dying, punished for a crime she was oblivious of ever committing. At long last, like before, the substance was sucked out of her tummy. Seconds later, it was as if nothing had ever happened in her tummy, although she still felt a slight feeling of heat in her tummy. To her greatest relief, she also felt her anus getting smaller and something being pulled out of her bottom. But her redemption was soon replaced by fear and uncertainty as she could now hear slow and clear footsteps in the room, coming from behind her. Fear in the Understanding "The Enema Machine!," an unseen, happy masculine voice exclaimed from behind her. "Fully automatical, with several combinations possible, plenty of customizable options and an autonomy of five hours," the voice continued. "That is simply wonderful indeed," another voice replied, this one dreadfully familiar. "I am sure this will be highly effective on my daughter, as I just witnessed it," the feminine voice went on, making the captive girl shiver. The girl then felt a gentle hand brushing slowly against her back. "See how lucky you are, sweetheart? This nice machine all to yourself!," the girl's mother told her, keeping out of her sight. The girl tried to lift her head and look behind, wanting to see a comforting face, but her movements were too limited. "I know you expressed some concerns about your daughter's age before, Madam, and whether the Enema Machine might therefore inflict too severe a punishment on an eight-year-old like her, but I assure you that we sold several copies to parents of children as young as three," the man said from behind the table. "And needless to say, they quickly turned out to be extremely satisfied customers!," he said jovially, a hint of pride in his voice. "Well, I agree that Tammy could use a few regular sessions on the Machine," the mother mused, almost to herself. "Heaven knows she often misbehaves in ways I strongly disagree with," she continued, her voice now full of conviction. "Indeed," the man took over immediately, "we found that 93.8% of the children submitted to the Enema Machine at least once a week adopt a more much acceptable code of conduct within two months after the initial purchase, a percentage that increases to 97.4% after six months," he said, his chest raised in self-satisfaction. "Now that you witnessed a first demonstration, let me guide you through a second one, this time with detailed explanations as it takes place," he proposed eagerly, already moving closer to the back of the table. "First of all, it is very important that the child is properly installed on the table. As you can see here," and the man pointed to the table's base, "the table can be raised and lowered to the mandatory height, to match the enema tube's. Also, the padded block on which the child is placed," he now tapped the wooden block between Tammy's thighs, "on her hands and knees, is also adjustable, a necessary detail to suit younger or older children, depending on their size and height. "When the child's wrists and ankles are securely in the four cuffs, the final preparations can take place," he continued, patting the eight-year-old's left bottom cheek playfully. "You lubricate your daughter's anus thoroughly, preferably with Vaseline, and even slightly inside," he explained, as he ran a gloved, lubricated finger against her tiny orifice and then, pushing it inside just a bit. He pulled his finger out a moment later, took his gloves off and discarded them on a garbage can by the table. "The rest is really entirely automatic. If you can please position yourself beside your daughter, near that large pillar, to have a close view of her bottom...," he said, while he himself moved toward the back of the room, placing himself behind a control panel. He turned a few controls and at once the low humming Tammy had heard before invaded the room. Then, a little panel located on the large pillar placed directly behind the little girl slid sideways, revealing a rectangular hole. Shortly after, a clear telescopic tube of about half an inch in diameter came into view, slowly sticking out of the pillar, aiming straight at Tammy's anus. Its hydraulic mechanism made her feel uneasy, bracing herself for the worst. Once against her anus, the tube penetrated her and stopped at a depth of about two inches, making Tammy gasp in discomfort. The man then turned another button that made the end of the tube, made of silicon, expand to a full two-inch in width. A loud scream instantly escaped the little girl's lips. "You could not see what just happened, of course," said the man, noticing the mother's reaction at her daughter's sudden scream. "The part of the tube now in Tammy's rectum has been expanded to act as a plug to prevent her from expelling the liquid out - voluntarily or not. "Now, if you could come over here please...," inviting her, with an extended arm, to come behind the control panel. The woman walked away from the table on which her frail, naked daughter were still restrained and placed herself by the man's side, looking at the complicated-looking console. "From this, here, you have access to all of the Machine's features. As I quickly described to you earlier, you can decide whether your daughter's enema is going to consist of water or any other liquid, as well as the temperature, the volume used in every cycle, the number of cycles, the duration of every cycle, the intensity - or speed - of the flow and, of course, if you want to add another substance to the liquid used," he said, with an excitement easily heard in his explanations. "For example," he began, "let's suppose that your daughter did something to deserve a five-hour punishment enema - which is actually the longest period a child can spend on the Machine, you would first simply press that first button up here, called 'Maximum' on the left, under the column 'Session length (hours)'. Or, under that one, you have a numbered pad that allows you to manually enter the desired duration," he quickly explained, pressing the '3', '3' and '0' buttons to show her, the numbers now appearing in red on a digital screen. "As you can see now, the overall duration is set to three and a half hours. "Next, you want to choose the duration of every cycle, that is, the time it takes for the liquid to get in your daughter's rectum, plus the retention time, as well as the extraction time. Under the column 'Cycle (minutes)', you have the main numbered pad. You choose the duration in minutes," he showed her, pressing the numbers '3' and '0'. "Now, we have set the duration of every cycle to thirty minutes," he explained, as Tammy moaned in discomfort from the middle of the room. "Then, right under," he went on, not minding the girl's torments, "you have to set the duration of the three sub-cycles. So let's say that you want the entire volume of water to get in Tammy's tummy in two minutes (to make it a very fast flow!), you just press '2' on the 'Injection (minutes)' pad. Then, you have to choose the retention time, right here, let's say... twenty minutes. Same thing, you press the numbers corresponding. Then, the remainder automatically appears on the third screen, down here, which is now eight minutes. That is the time the Machine will take to suck the water out of your daughter's insides," the man now made a pause, giving the mother some time to look at the controls. "You also have full access, then, to the fun options. Further on the right, here, under the column 'Liquid volume (quarts)' you can determine how much liquid the Machine will use with every cycle. I know you mentioned that you had been very disappointed with your daughter lately. For the first demonstration, earlier, we used two quarts of water, for only two cycles of five minutes. Let's press '3' for this one, shall we?", and Tammy let out a long wail at those words. "Then, over here, you have the temperature, in Fahrenheit. Let's go with 35," he suggested, a grin on his face, and the mother nodded in a satisfied manner. "You now have to decide what liquid you will use for the enema. Water, oil, milk, coffee... you have the choice! Of course, water is the less expensive of liquids for this machine. But I also know that my customers are wealthy and do not hesitate to use other liquids to diversify their enemas," he quickly suggested in a business manner, "and that is why we are happy to sell those alternate liquids, in barrels, at a reasonable price," he hurried to offer nicely, a curt and polite smile on his face. "Please follow me back to the table," he told the mother. The man then left the console and headed back to the middle of the room. He touched the large pillar with one of his hand. "As you saw earlier, that pillar is where the enema tube comes out from," he started to describe casually. "The liquid used for the enema comes from a 1000-gallon tank (containing five reservoirs of a 200-gallon capacity each) above, usually installed between the basement ceiling and the main floor. The tank can of course heat or cool whatever liquid you choose to fill it with. It only requires twenty minutes to make the liquid the temperature you desire. The liquid then comes down the core of the pillar and into the enema tube that you see here," he said, leaning closer to the clear, large tube invading Tammy's rectum. "If you look closely, you will see that the tube is divided in two halves: the upper half is for the incoming liquid and the lower for the waste. During the injection cycle, the lower half is sealed shut by a liquid-proof valve located at the end of the tube in the inflated silicon balloon now hidden in your daughter's rectum of course," he explained, smiling at the mother all the while. "After the retention cycle is over, the Machine will literally suck the liquid from your daughter's insides through the lower half of the tube, very much like a vacuum pump would. Its sucking mechanism is powerful enough to ensure that she is completely emptied of all the liquid and feces that were filling her, that is, until the next cycle begins!" he exclaimed, letting out a brief chuckle. "All the waste is then drained down the pillar into the sewers," he told her, wrapping up the main description. The man took the mother back to the console, where he showed her the last few buttons on the right, where she could choose the liquid to be used: 'Water', 'Milk', 'Coffee', 'Oil' and 'Customized'. "If you want an enema made out of one of those liquids, the Machine will automatically take into consideration their chemical properties and adjust the variables by itself. For example, if you set the temperature too high for an oil enema, the Machine will lower the temperature to a level good enough to avoid internal burning. Also, if you choose to put milk in one of the reservoir of the tank, the Machine will make sure to keep it cold enough, so it doesn't perish," he told her, proud to illustrate the features. "One reservoir can also be used to customize your own concoction, with our help or all by yourself. You can put a mix of the main liquids, add some other ingredients to them like soap or lemon juice... your imagination is the limit there! We have some enema recipes that we can deliver to our customers upon request," he assured her with a casual wave of the hand. He then pressed the 'Milk' button. "It will be very nice to see the tube becoming creamy white, don't you think?," he asked the woman and she could only nod in appreciation of his insightful initiative. "Well, then, everything in now ready! All you have to do is to push the big and round 'Start' button down here," he concluded, stepping aside as Tammy's mother placed herself in front of the console again, a clear expression of satisfaction and excitement in her eyes. Slowly, looking at the tube penetrating her daughter's bottom from the corner of the room, she approached the button with her slightly trembling hand... Torments in the Abandonment Although her hand had been trembling in excitement seconds before, it was with a strong push, full of conviction, that she hit the 'Start' button. "With such grace!," the man exclaimed with a broad smile. The cold milk started to invade Tammy's rectum at once, making her scream in surprise more than pain at this point. Then, for the first time since she realized where she was (although she still was not sure where was anyway), she saw the tall and imposing figure of her mother standing in front of her, arms crossed against her large breasts. The sight of a familiar face, at last. The milk, quickly filling her tummy with coldness, made her moan in discomfort. "Mommy! W... what is... happening? W...why?," she questioned her mother, her eyes wet, as streams of tears full of incomprehension flooded her lovely cheeks. "Well, sweetheart, you have been a very bad girl lately and frankly, Mommy has reached the point where she cannot take anymore of your bad behaviour," the woman replied in a soft matter-of-factly kind of voice, her stern face impassive. Her hair, brought neatly on her head, almost gave her an austere military look. "But see how much I love you, Tammy," she continued, as she caressed her daughter's wet hair with a strong hand, "and what I am willing to go through to make sure you behave like the best little girl. This machine is extremely expensive, but I have the very best of your interests at heart and I really don't mind such petty details," she told her, a tiny smile now forming on her lips as she looked down her screaming little one with her deep-green eyes. Tammy's abdomen was already distended most painfully by the three quarts of milk as the first two-minute injection cycle ended. "Do you see how big your daughter's tummy is now, Madam? That is another interesting feature of the Machine: we could have designed it in a way to install the child on her back, but we thought the punishment would be much more intense - and effective! - by adding the pressure of the filled tummy on the padding, you see?," he pointed out to her, as his hand reached out and pressed down slightly on Tammy's lower back, increasing her torment. "Mommy! It hurts!," Tammy wailed loudly as the cold milk was now taking a long, twenty-minute break in her tight tummy. "How many of those did you sell so far?," the woman casually asked the seller, not minding the screams erupting from the child's mouth, inches from where she was standing, talking in between them. "Well, we sold about five hundred of the first model. This model is brand new; we completed its design barely three months ago. You will actually be the third buyer of the second model. An Australian couple, parents to a twelve-year-old teenage girl and a single, Swedish father of a four-year-old girl bought our first two," he explained, clearly satisfied. "We expect to sell many more copies of our second model, though, as our waiting list has now reached 9 months. You couldn't have chosen a better timing to place your order as you should be getting your machine in about three weeks," he said, reassuring her. "In the meantime, our technicians will go to your place and install the reservoir and all the plumbing, so everything is nice and ready by the time you receive your order. Why don't we go finalize the paperwork while the retention cycle does its work?," he suggested, walking away from the table. The woman nodded curtly and followed the man in the adjacent room. Both returned into the room about ten minutes later, just in time to hear the Machine come loudly into life again, a vacuuming sound now coming from within the pillar. A short instant later, milk could be seen flowing slowly through the lower section of the transparent tube. "It will take the Machine, then, 8 minutes to extract the milk from your daughter's rectum and colon," the man explained, as he placed himself behind the table and crouched down a bit, looking at Tammy's huge abdomen. "It can always be amusing to watch the girl's tummy getting back to its original size," he suggested, as the mother got behind the table as well. Her daughter's immature vulva was also in clear view, just under the milk-filled enema tube, the labia slightly parted to reveal a tiny bit of her vaginal opening. "And that concludes the first cycle, as you were able to witness closely this time," he said, as the last remnants of milk were sucked down the pillar. Immediately after, the sucking sound subsided and was replaced by the normal humming as milk started to flow back in the now limp little girl. "As you know, there are six other cycles to go before your daughter's enema comes to an end. It might be a good thing to increase the room's ambient temperature a bit to counter the coldness of the milk, since she has another three hours to go," he explained to her, as he walked to a thermostat nearby, turning it clockwise. The mother then walked to her daughter again, rubbing her shoulders, neck and hair. "See, honey, there's nothing complicated about it: you misbehave, you get punished. And you already went through the first cycle like a good girl," she said softly, the necessity to talk louder than her daughter's screams now futile, since she was merely sobbing at this point. The three quarts of milk now inside her did not even make her cry this time. Tammy knew there was nothing she could do, nothing she could even say that would make it all stop. She just endured what was happening to her, trying to imagine she was in another place, a peaceful beach perhaps, in some tropical country. But the eternal snows kept coming back at her, depriving her from her paradise, as the cold pain took over her attempts to escape in her imagination. She was barely hearing her mother and the man talk anymore. Everything seemed to be fading away around her and yet she could still feel everything in her bottom and her tummy. She wanted her surroundings to be like that of a dream. She wanted to fly, not having to use her arms and legs. She knew it was not possible. Then her sobbing stopped completely. She rested her left cheek gently on the padding. She knew she had been bad. Could she really blame her mother for taking care of her? For wanting the best for her? She loved her mother so much. Thinking for the first time about how she had let her down, about how selfish she had been by misbehaving like she did, she closed her eyes and let silent tears of shame fall down on the table. She no longer wished to escape her fate: she accepted it.
