*** August 28, Late Morning - Len
It WAS only a fantasy. She was his son's age after all.
Hell, his wife used to baby-sit her!
Still it was nice to think about her, and what they could
do together. No longer jailbait, she had turned out to
be an attractive young woman and her sense of humour and
carefree attitude contrasted with a wife who, though
loved and loving, had become less adventurous and a
convenience rather than someone who got his pulse racing.
Kara was the first on his list.
*** July & August
It was only the fact that it hit some major population
centres ahead of others that gave the world any inkling
of the nature and extent of the problem.
As it spread via the worlds transport hubs, Singapore and
Frankfurt fell silent just before London, Hong Kong, Los
Angeles and New York. A number of brave reporters around
the world continued to tell the story as their personal
worlds went dark.
The worlds infrastructures only kept running on automatic
for a day or so after technicians failed to report for
their shifts; this was enough to pass on the message that
the world was going blind and it didn't look (pun
DEFINITELY NOT intended) likely that many would remain
unaffected.
*** August 28, Late Morning - Len
It was only reasonable to include his wife's best friend;
he had fancied her for a while and got on well with her
husband who fortunately was a veterinary surgeon with
several years experience dealing with livestock before
his wife convinced him to bring her back to the city.
Life could be boring without someone compatible to talk
to and, though he felt they were not as useful as some,
they did give him someone he respected to bounce his
thoughts off and maybe, just maybe ...
Keith and Deirdre made three.
*** August 5
The first reports of an international epidemic that
caused irreversible blindness resulted in a panic that
brought air travel to an immediate standstill. It was
too late!
The incubation period was such that doctors had no chance
to stop each victim infecting dozens, if not hundreds, of
others with the minor cough that preceded the more
serious symptoms.
In the worst case it passed through seven generations of
carriers before the first person sought help for her
failing sight. That was enough to ensure that nearly
everyone outside the third world countries harboured the
infection before it was apparent an infection existed.
With a remarkably consistent period between the initial
infection and the onset of blindness, the effect was like
watching a tsunami from the shore. The tide first ebbing
as people began to disappear in ever greater numbers;
every hospital trying vainly to cope with the impossible
situation.
Then the dark line across the horizon began to thicken
and the wave of victims no longer even trying to get to
the unavailable medicos grew in height. It finally swept
over civilisation and tried to wipe it from the face of
the Earth.
*** August 27, Evening - Len
When did he realise he was one of the "lucky" ones?
With the rest of the world, Len had been hawking and dry
retching on and off for weeks. When this was linked to
the blindness he, like everyone else, feared and expected
the worst.
But he knew enough genetics to suspect the truth when he
found some of his siblings and offspring also retained
their sight.
Three of his four children were still able to see, as
were his sister and one of her three, and his younger
brother with one of his four; his two older brothers and
their families were not lucky, like everyone else
(including his wife and in-laws) they had gone blind.
With some sentiment, he felt he had to include the
families of the sighted if he was to get their help but
couldn't justify his older brothers or their families.
He didn't know whether it was his late Father or Mother
who had supplied the dominant gene that gave them their
resistance but it was obvious that it didn't flow through
those two lines.
His wife and daughter, his brother-in-law and sister-in-
law and five nephews and nieces. That meant that there
were nine blind and eight sighted from the three
families.
*** August 28, Morning - Len & sons
He sat down with his three sons and explained things to
them.
"As you know things are pretty well stuffed. Almost
everyone is blind and in a few days they are going to
start dying so we have to find somewhere safe to set
ourselves up.
"Your Aunt Deb and Uncle Seth are bringing their families
around to join us but it's going to be hard.
"If we are going to survive we need to have as many
children as possible - children that can see. It looks
like our family has a gene that prevents the blindness
even though we got the cough and if I'm right half of our
children will carry that gene.
"I know you're still a bit young but you are all old
enough to be fathers and you are going to have to have
several wives each."
The three boys looked at each other with silly grins on
their faces. The oldest at 19, Peter, knew his 17 year
old brother Michael had been cautioned by his father only
a month earlier to try to avoid sexual involvements until
he had finished High School. Well, it looked like he had
now. He glanced at the 14 year old David who hadn't
progressed past wet dreams; to be given a green light to
fulfil his adolescent urges was unbelievable.
Peter returned his attention to his Father's continuing
speech; he at least appreciated the serious nature of
what was being proposed, he would think about the wilder
aspects a little later.
"I expect you already know some girls who you like and
it's possible that they may be willing to become the
mothers of your children. I want you to think about
these points - I don't have all the answers so how about
we start here and see how we go.
"Okay Number 1. We don't force anyone. We explain what
we expect and how we will look after them as best we can.
If they don't want to come when we point out their only
other choice is to be left to die we have to respect
that."
"Is it okay to bring them here if they are hysterical and
let them make the decision later?" asked Peter.
His father looked uncertain. Many people may be just
like that. "I suppose so. If you can do it without
hurting them. You really need to try to coax them. I
expect we'll be together so we might need to see how
things go, okay?"
"Okay Dad."
"Number 2 then. It's important that the women can have a
number of children so they shouldn't be too old. I think
that we try to find women no older than 25 except in some
special circumstances I will cover. Similarly it won't
be good for them to be too young; we could have a baby
born while we are waiting for them to be old enough."
There were no questions. None of the boys could see
themselves being interested in anyone THAT old anyway.
Especially if they could get their pick of the rest.
"Number 3. We will need to keep track of who the father
of each baby is. I don't know yet if we will have to
share the women to spread our genes but to start with we
should stick to our own women.
"Number 4. We need to have a number of experts to help
us. Obviously doctors or nurses or midwives who can
instruct us in delivering babies. I know of a vet who
will be able to help us when we get some animals and
there are likely to be others.
"If it is possible to get a woman who has these skill but
is a bit older than 25 then those skills makes up for
having fewer babies. If necessary we can get a man with
those skills but they are not going to be able to have
children who can see. Women will be better.
"I want you to make a list of girls or women you want
with their addresses if possible. We won't have a lot of
time if we are going to find them healthy. I want to set
out as soon as Deb and Seth get here. Any questions?"
"How many women Dad?"
"I would like to say a thousand each but I don't think we
can keep even a hundred each fed and healthy. I don't
know how many we can gather before they die but I think
we are better to get too many and have to lose a few,
heartless though that sounds, than to have too few. They
are only going to die if we DON'T do anything.
"Put your wish lists together with as many names as you
want but I think we can probably only make special
arrangements for a dozen or so.
"With only six males who can see that could be over 70
women not counting those with skills or our three
families, and we have four girls of our own, including
your sister, who will need you three boys and Deb's Barry
to pair with. If we can manage more of your choices we
will try to get them but skills are going to be important
I'm afraid."
"So you have to have several wives too. What does Mum
say about that?"
"I haven't spoken to her yet but she will have to go
along with it. Our only other choice is to roll over and
die with everyone else."
David made a relevant observation. "Where are we going
to live? We can't have that many people here."
Len looked at his sons. "To start with I thought we
could take over St Ignatius' School. There are boarding
facilities there and we can fill up the gymnasium until
we get things sorted out. There is a wall around the
grounds so we can keep stray dogs out, which is likely to
be more and more of a problem, and stray people in. If
you know of anywhere better or any other ideas or
problems let me know."
He sent them off to make their lists while he reviewed
some of his own.
*** August 28, Late Morning - Len
Len had added a couple more "fantasy" choices, hoping
they didn't appear on any of his sons' lists. He
concentrated instead on those occupations he felt would
be useful.
He was old enough to appreciate there was more to a woman
than just good looks and male enough to realise that
given a choice of two who met his needs there was no-one
to object to him picking the one who turned him on more.
Police? No.
Fireman? Maybe. Nah!
Paramedic? Consider a range of medical personnel.
Nurses and doctors wouldn't be able to see the problem
but may be able to ask questions and interpret the
answers. Paediatricians and Gynaecologists definitely.
General Practitioners and Surgeons. Hmm? How many
people were still in the hospitals? They would HAVE to
hurry. At least they could access staff records.
The same with schools; Teachers would be handy but what
sort? Much of the material could be taken from books -
if you knew what they meant. It would be useful to have
someone knowledgeable to explain things. How far were
they prepared to let civilisation slide? The information
they discarded might be that which could end up killing
them.
It all gave him a headache. Ah! Pharmacists.
And what of the blind in their care. How would they
cope? Could he find someone previously blind to assist
their instruction. He knew that there was more than just
the stereotypical basket weaving available but just what?
The list grew.
*** August 28, 11:45 pm - David
It wasn't nerves but rather an impatience and an excess
of curiosity that was David's downfall. He creamed his
jeans well before he was to make his first "conquest".
She was waiting in "his" room, still sitting on the side
of the bed where he had left her after leading her by the
hand from the gymnasium. He had quickly sat her down
before making an embarrassed dash for the bathroom to
clean himself up.
They had taken over some of the teacher's rooms for
themselves and had set up a roster to ensure someone was
available to keep an eye on those in the gym; the rest
could finally relax alone or with spouse or chosen
"playmate".
The woman had been quietly weeping and David sat next to
her and put his arm around her. "Don't cry. You're safe
here. I'll look after you."
That was really the point.
She knew she would have no chance "outside" and had
willingly agreed to join the group on the conditions
given but that purely logical decision didn't prevent the
emotional reaction that set in when the fourteen year old
boy had led his twenty-two year old teacher away from the
others.
"I really like you", she heard. "I have for ages.
You're really pretty and you've always been nice to me at
school."
While the last point was true enough, she had been
friendly towards many of her students. David was a
courteous and intelligent youth, but that was all ...,
until he and his father had turned up at her apartment
and explained her choices.
No-one really wants to die.
She had been alone for a few months since her boyfriend
had decided he wasn't quite ready to commit to a long-
term relationship. Ha! Depending on how you looked at
it, the relationship could have lasted only another six
months anyway or for the rest of his life!
Other than parents and a brother living too far away, she
had no ties (He had taken his cat and she had been too
busy to consider a replacement) and had agreed to go with
them without realizing it was David who had selected her.
Now it was crunch time and David was talking to her as he
rubbed his hand up and down her back.
"I know you might not think much of me because I'm so
young but Dad says we need to have as many babies to
survive and I need to help. I've never gotten anywhere
with a girl before so I need to learn what to do. You've
been my teacher so will you teach me this too?"
Victoria, still stressed but realizing the mores she had
lived under had vanished with her civilization, could do
nothing but nod her head and quietly whisper, "Yes. I
will teach you."
She put her hand on David's leg and found herself
touching skin. She awkwardly moved it up expecting to
make contact with his underwear but instead found her
fingers brushing a lightly furred sack.
"Er, I got a bit excited. Sorry." It was hard to
explain the experience of jets of semen soaking through
his clothes to the woman that up until a few days ago had
been marking his Geography papers.
"Perhaps we should get undressed", she suggested.
David helped her stand and self-consciously put his arms
around her. She was slightly taller than him so he
rested his cheek against her chest as he told her that he
wanted to learn everything to make babies and to make her
happy. He didn't know whether he should say he loved
her; he had had a crush on her for a long while but
didn't know what he would do if she laughed at him.
Victoria put her arms around the lad; "No! 'young man'",
she firmly told herself, "I'm not a child molester! In
some societies 14 year olds were considered adults; ours
is now apparently one of them."
"You know", she told David, "A teacher is supposed to be
one of the best lovers you can get because she makes you
do it over and over again until you get it right." She
bent her head and kissed him on the forehead then tilted
his face and found his lips with hers.
Other than a childish kiss years ago and a few attempts
with his cousin Rachel before she got snooty towards him,
David hadn't really kissed a girl. The feel of
Victoria's soft lips against his and her arms around him
made his penis even harder and he was worried he might
shoot his load again.
Victoria though was going to take things one step at a
time. If she WAS going to teach him she planned to teach
him her way; the other women he eventually paired up with
would be grateful if he learned to be a considerate lover
who took the time to pleasure each one before taking his
own pleasure. In different circumstances they could have
found themselves being brutalised and if they had to live
as his harem then maybe she could also end up as the
"Sultan's favourite".
"You had better call me Vicki. Ms Baker is going to
sound silly." She reached down and took hold of the firm
cock and kissed him again. There was a yell somewhere in
the building but she immediately realised it was not a
cry for help nor a warning of danger; she apparently
wasn't the only one singled out tonight.
*** August 28, Early Afternoon - Len
When Len reviewed the boys lists he was pleased to see
Peter had also listed some professions, with reasons for
some, as well as some desired companions. He had gone
through the phone book and put down the likely addresses
with some alternatives or links to people who would know.
Michael had confined himself to girls in his own year
with a sprinkling of those a year ahead or behind. He
had, with some embarrassment, also specified the name of
one of his cousins that he preferred over the others. If
he HAD to make his choice of the three female cousins
that were "on offer" he wanted to avoid one and was
ambivalent about the third. He figured that if he got
his choice in first he might be luckier than if he
waited.
David's choices were a bit of a surprise. At 13 or 14
most of the girls he knew were under the bottom age limit
Len had set. He put down half a dozen that were a year
ahead of him and then included three of his young
teachers and the older (18 or 19) sisters of some of his
friends.
Len wasn't too sure whether his youngest son was overly
ambitious but was pleased to note his own special
selections were omitted from all three lists.
*** August 28, 12:20 pm
They hadn't been at the school long, only having had time
to commandeer the gymnasium before Deb had arrived with
her husband Stan and her three children; Barry at 17
assisted his blind sister Stella (16) and brother Walter
(14) from their car and followed his parents inside.
Len had explained his ideas to Deb and Seth while the
mobile phone service was still operating and Deb had sat
Barry down and explained it in much the same way as he
had.
She sent him off with Len while she looked after the
others and waited for her other, and soon to be sole
remaining, brother.
-----
Len's nephew Barry made out his own list while he drove
them through the silent roads to the bus depot. As they
heard the noise of the vehicle, people would come out of
their front doors and wave frantically, afraid to be
missed but afraid also to move away from their only
familiar source of shelter in a world gone crazy.
"They were doing the same thing when we drove over", said
Barry.
"We may need a megaphone to get them to stay inside",
said Michael. "It seems cruel to lie to them but if we
tell them help is coming and to wait inside, we may have
a better chance of rescuing more of them."
Peter nodded his agreement with his brother. "You might
get that at a Police station."
"Yes", agreed Len, "and we can pick up some fire arms
there too. Once the dogs get hungry they will probably
turn on people and each other - imagine how many there
are likely to be in just this city."
Peter shuddered. He had witnessed a friend being
attacked when younger and the scars in his mind were no
less real than the scars on his friend's face and arm.
Len decided to visit the police station first. He needed
something that would allow him to move up to 40 people at
once and didn't know what guard dogs or even crazy people
he would find on the way.
Those people whose employment was not deemed essential
had been instructed to stay home, keeping the streets
remarkably clear. Those who had heard the first reports
but not the final ones were in the main optimistically
waiting for assistance to come or had pessimistically
avoided a lingering death by starvation.
The few who had tuned to the stations that broadcast the
latest information in many cases indulged in a drunken or
lustful orgy, determined to go out with a bang rather
than a whimper.
Those people providing essential services such as the
police or hospitals found the light suddenly fade, an
eclipse that struck without warning or remission where-
ever the person was and with little opportunity for their
workmates to assist before they too succumbed.
The shift on duty at the Police Station when the tsunami
of darkness washed over the city had been unable to
leave. It was hard to realise that it had been only six
hours since the last of them (a homeless drunk in the
cells) had lost his sight.
Len and the four youths gingerly entered the front door,
wary of the response they could get. There were only two
officers on duty and Len addressed them from the counter.
"Good afternoon officers. I know you can't see me and
you may not be aware of what has been happening."
"We've got a pretty good idea. Who are you and what do
you want?"
The lie came easier than he thought it would. "My name
is Len Pike and I'm here with the Department for Disease
Control trying to stabilise this area. We only have a
few people who have not been affected and what's left of
the government has deputised them to assist its agents.
I got stuck with the job for this district."
"What are you here for? Are you going to fix us up?"
"I'm not a doctor, I'm just trying to collect people for
them to treat. I need to check how many people are here
and arrange for transport."
The policeman seemed to relax a little in the knowledge
that SOMEONE was doing SOMETHING about this. It had been
rather stressful just sitting there without a clear
awareness of the time and he was unconsciously ignoring
any holes that appeared in Len's story.
"If you would please stay put, my assistants and I will
just get people organised. You could assist me though.
Everything has happened in a bit of a rush and we are
still getting supplies together. Do you have a bull horn
that I could use and can I use your public address system
to speak to the people in the building?"
"There's a half dozen bull horns in the cupboard back
there ..." Len waved the boys to check them when the
officer passed him a ring of keys from a hook on his
belt. "... and I think this is still working." He
fumbled around his desk, grabbing the microphone on the
second attempt. He flicked a switch and an echo of his
drumming finger could just be heard.
"Can I have your attention please. There is an important
announcement." He moved so Len could access the mike.
"Good afternoon", started Len. "Representatives of the
Department for Disease Control will shortly be returning
to take you for treatment. I apologise that I am not
able to go through your normal chain of command at this
time but will do so when I return."
The keys had unlocked the fire arms cupboard as well and
each boy had silently carried a couple of rifles as well
as some hand guns and ammunition out to the car before
returning to get a bull horn each.
Len put the keys on top of the cupboard rather than
returning them to the officer. By the time they found a
reason to visit again it was likely that the officer
would no longer need them.
"Thank you", he said, "we will be back when we have
suitable transport."
Without waiting for comment or questions about his lies
Len turned and followed the boys back to the car.
*** August 28, 1:30 pm
Len pulled the bus up at the Emergency Entrance of the
hospital. Barry pulled up behind him with a squeal of
brakes in another. Driving a bus was a novel experience
for both of them. Michael drove more sedately into the
car park and got out with David. The young boy had been
using his deepest voice over a bull horn to advise people
along the way to wait inside until they heard an
announcement to come out to be taken for treatment.
Peter had been sent with a third bus to collect their
families and take them to the school. He was then to
take Uncle Seth and Nancy to find a truck to collect some
essential supplies - bedding, spring water and some
simple food - sliced bread and sandwich meat that would
be stale in a day so should be used while it was
available.
Len made a similar announcement at the hospital but
advised that certain staff would be taken for treatment
first so that they could then assist in treating others.
With no admissions or operations possible, staff were
tending to remain in their offices or at station except
to find a bedpan for a bedridden patient or to bring a
drink where possible. Staff and patient alike were
relieved to hear help had arrived.
Len led the boys through the hospital to the pharmacy
where he found a young woman sitting sobbing at a desk.
She had been crying in despair and now heaved with
relief.
She was in her early twenties and met their need for a
Pharmacist.
"Hello. Are you ready to go?"
She looked around in surprise, turning her unseeing eyes
in the direction of the voice. "Y-Y-Yes."
"Are you in charge here?" Len asked.
"For this shift." She allowed him to take her arm to
assist her to her feet. "Well actually for the last
shift as well I suppose; no-one has come and I can't go
anywhere like this."
"As you can imagine, we have quite a few people who are
rather distressed. Do you have something that would be
safe to give them to calm them down? Unfortunately we
don't have the doctors available yet to see to them."
Unused to prescribing, the woman never-the-less knew her
field and was able to suggest a couple of drugs that had
no ill side effects during short-term treatment.
She told Len and repeated the dosage information then
suggested where he would find them. Her own state of
mind permitted her to be more useful than normal towards
an outsider in her dispensary.
Michael led her back to the bus where she was seated by
David who asked her for her name, date of birth, home
address, marital status, profession and allergies which
he duly recorded as he had been instructed. If they were
going to have over a hundred people to look after they
had to start somewhere in keeping track of them.
David wrote out a nametag for "Teri" and took pleasure in
pressing it against her breast. It was the first time he
had copped a feel and, though only a brief press, it was
enough to give him an erection as he stared down the
blouse of the unaware woman. He wondered if he could
keep her; she looked nice.
In ones, twos and occasionally threes Michael and Barry
shunted young doctors and nurses, and a few young
patients who had only been admitted because of their
blindness, until the buses were filled. Each had been
given a tablet "to start the treatment" before they had
been led to the buses.
Len didn't know whether he should be thankful he didn't
have any means other than a bullet or a knife to "treat"
those he couldn't save or whether he was going to throw
up whenever he thought of them slowly starving or
desperately seeking their own termination. It was easier
when he hadn't seen them.
He addressed the second bus before repeating the spiel on
his own.
"If you would please hold on we will be taking you to the
treatment facility. It is a short ride but you will need
to hold on tight. Full explanations will be available
there."
Barry followed Michael to the school with his uncle
driving in the same direction shortly afterwards.
*** August 28, 3:00 pm
"I have to apologise to you but the actual situation is
far more serious that we could tell to the whole
hospital. We have brought you out here to explain.
Please let me finish before asking questions then I ask
you to raise your hand and let me come to you before you
speak. I will answer ALL you questions truthfully at
that time."
They had moved the various medical practitioners into the
gymnasium and seated them on the mattresses hastily
strewn around. Len was being left in charge by his
siblings, a role he reluctantly accepted for now.
"As I said, the situation is worse than that portrayed.
There currently is no treatment and I do not believe that
there will be one." There were gasps, sobs and more than
a few angry shouts. Len let them go for a while then
called for a silence that he eventually got.
"At present there are a total of 8 sighted people known
to exist in this city. They are all members of my family
and the indication is that some of us carry a dominant
gene which stops the coughing disease causing blindness.
We may eventually find others but that is all we have to
work with at this stage.
"We believe that the only way that we can survive long
term is to have sufficient sighted children to allow us
to build a sustainable population. This requires the 8
sighted people to work to support those of you willing to
bear those children."
There were more gasps, sobs and yet angrier shouts as the
proposal sunk in.
Len let this go again until he could again take control.
Ignoring the shouts he asked that questions be kept until
he had finished.
"I realise that some of you will not for one reason or
another wish to join with us. You will not be forced to.
However I must point out that you have no other salvation
likely; unless you take your own lives you are likely to
succumb to starvation. I hope you prefer to live."
With his pause some hands were tentatively raised. Len
took that as an opportunity to involve the women.
"I will now take questions if you would please raise your
hands." He went to the first one and read her name tag
as he touched her hand. "Yes Monica?"
She lowered her arm.
"What happens to those who don't want to join you?"
"They will be taken back to the hospital and left where
they came from."
Monica squeezed in a supplementary question. "Can they
be taken to their homes?"
"If there are only a couple that MIGHT be possible but if
we have a lot of people we won't be able to spare the
time. Sorry." He moved to the next one. "Naomi"
"What about my husband and child?"
"I'm sorry there too. We are going to try to support as
many women as possible in the hope of getting a
sustainable population of sighted people. Unless we find
someone with a valuable skill we will be restricting
those people we pick up to young women only. We won't be
able to take your husband unless he can demonstrate a
skill but we can try to collect any daughters aged 15 or
older on the understanding that they bear children as
well.
"We aren't monsters and if you think you have some
special circumstance we will try to give you a hearing
though it may not be long. If you do know of anyone who
was blind previously who can teach you how to manage your
condition please let me know later."
A few people apparently had received answers to their
questions and had put their hands down.
"Sandra"
Sandra started as Len touched her hand and it was a
little while before she began to speak. "What actually
will happen to those who stay?"
"It's very early days so things could change but I see it
like this at the moment:
"Each of the six sighted males who appear to bear the
dominant gene will be assigned a number of women who will
bear a child probably every year and a half while she is
able. It is hoped that approximately half of those will
be sighted.
"The blind females will be able to bear children in turn
provided we can support them for the first fifteen years,
as for any blind males we may not be able to support
them. That will depend on our resources and how we are
able to teach you and them to overcome your blindness."
Quite a few more hands shot up and Len picked one of them
since it was likely to be a follow on question. "Aneka"
"How will we be assigned to the males?"
"I don't expect us to have to start mass impregnations
immediately so there will be time for you to get to know
each of us and vice versa. I suppose that you will get
to put your preferences down as do we and where they
coincide everything is easy. If not there may have to be
some negotiation. It may be that you put up with a bit
of sex with your designated partner until you get
pregnant. I need to have a talk with those of you who
can discuss the amount of genetic variation we need. It
may be necessary for you to have a child by each of us -
I don't really know everything at this stage."
"Tara"
"What about sex when we aren't trying to get pregnant?
Are we going to be a harem only getting screwed once or
twice then nothing for eighteen months? Aren't there any
other men? And you said there were eight sighted people
so two must be females - what about them then?"
"The two sighted women are my sister Deborah and my niece
Nancy. One of Deb's sons, Barry, some of you have
already met. Her daughter Stella is in the same boat as
you. Her other son Walter and Nancy's brother Graham are
unfortunately blind. If we are able, with your
assistance, to make sure they are firing blanks, then you
should be able to call upon their services to keep you
happy.
"If Nancy, and indeed Deb, want to try to increase our
sighted numbers that's up to them but realistically they
are more valuable as sighted members of our community
than as mothers. They can get food or other supplies or
help defend us while we can find anyone to bear children.
"I don't want you to think that that means we don't value
you; we do and doubly so because of your professional
skills. Unfortunately certain survival skills have just
shot to the top of the 'must have' list.
"As far as sex is concerned I have said you will not be
forced. You may wish to consider the needs of those who
are going to be doing their darnedest to keep you alive
and comfortable however and try to express your thanks
that way.
"There will be rules for all of us and one will basically
be 'If it feels good you can do it'. That doesn't mean
whatever 'it' is will be compulsory but it also means you
can't object to others indulging in what they feel is
okay. Thus with so many women and so few men no-one is
to get upset if a woman makes a pass at another woman.
You can say no but you can't get nasty.
"I want you to take a while to think things over; discuss
it with those around you. It may sound heartless but for
those of you who feel you made a marriage vow that stops
you accepting, please consider that we can't save your
husbands in other than the most exceptional cases and in
a few days you are likely to be widows."
That brought a few more sobs but the majority of the
women seemed to have realised that and had been halfway
resigned to their own demise.
"One last question for now - Debra."
"What happens to the patients in the hospital and the
other staff? How can you let them just starve?"
"I don't like it either. If you have an alternative I
will consider it but there really isn't enough time to
provide a humane release to the millions of people around
here while at the same time trying to save as many as
possible.
"I will give you some time now to collect your thoughts.
If you have questions Nancy will take them and I will
give you the answers when I return. I will need to know
then whether you really can't join us, are prepared to
join us or think you have a special case. I warn you
though that I won't be happy if you lie to me just to try
to get a husband or child added to our community."
Len looked over the 84 women they had brought here as
they tried to find out what those close by thought. He
had brought more then really needed for the skills they
had but they were all intelligent young healthy females
and would make excellent brood mares though he would be
careful never to describe them as such.
*** August 28, 11:30 pm - Len
Joanna hadn't taken it well that morning when she found
her husband had planned to modify his wedding vows more
than just a little.
Oh, he was still offering to look after her in "sickness
and in health" but the "forsaking all others" was going
right out the window.
Len restrained himself even though he was tempted to
point out that by simply leaving her alone at their home
he would only have to wait a few days until it was a case
of "till death us do part". He couldn't have done it and
didn't really want to upset her further.
He hadn't had time since then to sit down with her and
talk it over and wasn't sure it would do much good. He
probably shouldn't have mentioned his plan to pick up
Kara. It was okay while his wife thought she was going
to be a partner for one of the boys but ...
And he didn't really want Joanna to feel she was being
traded in.
The sighted had spent the day shunting more and more
women into the school and getting necessary supplies.
The gym was one big dormitory and they had had to rig
knotted ropes across the room to allow the women to take
themselves to the bathroom and to find their way back
again.
It was his blind daughter Ellen who had actually come up
with the solution. At regular intervals three knots were
tied into the rope; if you felt a single then the double
you knew you were heading towards the bathroom and vice
versa. A pillar indicated where the rows of mattresses
spread out sideways but unfortunately the women then had
to crawl along the floor counting mattresses until they
found theirs.
It wasn't perfect and one sighted person was kept busy
attending to those lost women standing waving their arms
for attention; there was too much din for anyone to have
been heard and the bull horns got plenty of use restoring
order from time to time.
Len was happy to get out of it for a while and was
guiltily grateful to his sister Deb and their niece Nancy
who had been left to fend for most of the day.
They had both gotten to join him on the last trip of the
day where he had taken them to pick up a couple of
personal friends each.
While Deb's might not contribute much to the future of
their community they would help keep her sane in this
maddening new world. Nancy's at least were breeding
stock even if he personally found their conversation
somewhat juvenile and annoying; maybe the boys would
think differently.
Peter and Barry got to stand the rest of the night shift
with Nancy and her father Seth rostered on for breakfast.
Len dreaded the idea of the morning piss parade.
Joanna was waiting for him in their room. Unlike his
sons and nephew, Len wasn't in a hurry to dip his wick.
Joanne needed reassuring and he wouldn't have a lot of
time to deal with her over the next few days; there was
so much to do and so many people to "rescue" and so few
of them to do the work. He hoped they weren't stretching
themselves too far.
Joanna stirred when she felt him slip in next to her.
They had replaced the former occupant's single bed with a
large mattress on the floor. Seth had gotten the
teaching staff (all friars) and the few boys present
organised onto a bus and had then driven them to a
convent school where he had offloaded them and brought
back a similar load of the girls who were boarding there,
together with two young nuns who decided to renounce
their vows.
When Seth told Len this he wondered how many of the
brothers and other nuns would feel the same way in the
time they had left.
Len tried to forget about this, and all the other
minutiae from the day that clouded his brain. He was too
tired to think straight and too uptight to sleep. He
slid an arm under his wife's neck and wrapped the other
around her, cupping her breast, and snuggled into her
back with a sigh.
Joanna at 44 was the same age as her husband. She had
been married to him for 22 years and had borne him four
strong, healthy (until now) children and she was afraid
she was going to lose him to his "harem". She even spat
out the word in her own mind, unaware that the analogy
was being widely considered throughout the darkened
school grounds.
She almost pushed him away but then realised that he
could have been with any of the women he and her sons had
gathered that day but no, here he was, curled up against
her and still, after 22 years, pressing a stiff cock
against her buns. She reached behind and felt the hard
rod that she suddenly realised she would never see again.
She turned her body and reached up to run her fingers
lightly over her lover's face. She would have to get to
see her husband by touch and she wept as she felt the
cleft in his chin and the stubble on his cheek.
Suddenly overcome with love for her man she bruised his
lips with hers as she forced her tongue between his
teeth. She wanted him and she wanted him to know it.
She might have to share him with those bitches but he was
hers and always would be.
She pushed him onto his back and threw a leg over his
hips. Without pausing her passionate kisses she reached
between her thighs and pressed her fingers between her
lips to find the moisture that would ease his
penetration. Her cunt oozed the slippery fluid and she
wiped it over the surface of her pussy before seizing his
cock and positioning it at the damp entrance.
She pushed down and felt it enter then stop. She lifted
her hips and pushed down again. The hard penis slid
further in and she wiggled her hips as she force it
deeper and deeper. It bottomed out with a slight twinge
of pain and Joanna eased back and began a gentler
oscillation that served to stimulate her husband as she
ground her clit against his pubic hair.
It wasn't going to be a slow comfortable screw. It was a
wanton fuck by a woman who wasn't prepared to lose her
man and was going to show him why he should keep coming
back.
As such it didn't take long before Len was arching his
back in his own attempt to drive himself deeper into his
wife. He felt his prick jerk as the first surge passed
through it and into his wife. As they continued he
wondered whether his wife would fall pregnant now
contraceptives were banned.
Though not a Catholic, Seth's earlier adventures made him
wonder how the ageing Pope would feel knowing at least
that part of his credo would be followed for the
foreseeable future. Len didn't think the rest of their
plans would quite meet his approval however.
His brief thoughts were scattered by his wife's own
orgasm. For the first time in her life she didn't care
if anyone heard her pleasure and a loud "Y-E-S!" echoed
through the otherwise silent hallways. Let EVERYONE know
that with all the spare pussy available HER husband was
still pummelling HER cunt!
