Prologue
The year was 2136. The United States would be
unrecognizable to those who had lived there in the
early twenty first century. For one thing there had
been a civil war over the issues of taxation, the
voting franchise and slavery. Ultimately the side that
prevailed in the far greater number of states was the
side that wanted a major reduction of taxes, a
limitation of the voting franchise to tax paying
citizens and the return of slavery.
A new nation named Capitallia was formed consisting, at
first, of 15 western states that declared their
intention to secede from the U.S. This led at first to
armed conflict, but soon other states switched their
allegiance until a total of 38 of the original 50
states comprised the new nation, named for capitalism,
the social and economic system that the new nation
meant to promote in every way possible. The capital of
the new nation was New York City, while Washington D.C.
remained the capital of what was left of the old United
States.
In Capitallia, the voting privilege and citizenship
status were limited to those who could demonstrate
certain educational achievements and pay a uniform per
capita tax. Taxes had been vastly reduced by avoiding
unnecessary wars and by largely eliminating the "social
safety net". The society had also become quite class
conscious. There were sharp distinctions between those
who were citizens and those who were not, with each
class having distinctly different rights and
privileges.
Because of this class consciousness, and the absence of
a 'safety net', the criminal laws, as well as laws
pertaining to contract and debt, had evolved in ways
that earlier generations might have thought harsh.
Radical change had been made inevitable by decades of
rising crime rates, persistently high unemployment,
sharply rising levels of credit default by unemployed
debtors, and the resulting high prices caused by those
debtor defaults.
The public had grown weary of the high costs of
building and running prisons, and of the high costs of
coddling insolvent debtors. When special interests
pushed for a radical new solution, the public was ripe
for it. Slavery, of a particularly high tech nature,
had been reintroduced.
***
Bill Steelforth had arrived at his office early for a
meeting with a key client. Bill was a 'slaver's agent'.
He represented a number of diverse clients, but most
particularly the interests of an elite slave owning and
trading firm known as Richmond SlendaBond.
Bill was in his mid forties and at the peak of his
career. Often he would visit a new city and scout out
attractive young women there who might be insolvent.
When he found an interesting target he tried to
interest one of his clients in acquiring her. If he
received a green light, he would then hire a local
attorney, arrange for the client to buy up all her
debts, and assemble all the required evidence the
attorney would need to take her down in court.
When such an enslavement had been successful, his
client would employ only the most advanced methods for
tracking and controlling the new slave. Not only would
he or she be 'micro chipped' but would also have a
digital bio implant which allowed his or her owner to
remotely monitor vital bodily functions, remotely
administer punishment for disobedience or remotely
administer sexual pleasure to reward highly skilled
service.
This morning, after the client meeting, he had
discovered a pretty twenty something girl waiting for
him in his outer office. She was scantily clad,
handcuffed and apparently in the custody of a uniformed
guard. The guard indicated that the girl's sexual
services were to be a gift to him for the day from one
of his clients.
He instructed the guard as to his desires. The girl was
to be stripped of all clothing except for her high
heels and collar, then sent to his inner office leashed
and with hands cuffed behind her back. The guard was to
bring in her clothing bundle also, then wait outside to
collect her later.
First he would keep the girl standing at the side of
his desk. She was easy on his eyes, particularly as the
high heeled shoes brought out the muscle tone of her
slender legs, the handcuffs prevented any attempt at
modesty and the steel collar around her pretty neck
proclaimed her status as a sexual slave. Her wiry black
pubic hair had been trimmed in such a way as not to
obscure her feminine parts.
He surveyed the spectacular New York City skyline from
his 27th floor corner office. While she stood there
awaiting his pleasure he decided to make a few calls.
Then she found herself pulled her by her leash around
to his side of the desk. He commanded her to assume a
kneeling position, facing him, under his desk. He
settled into a comfortable position in his executive
chair and unzipped himself. If the girl's training had
been complete, she would need no further instruction.
He eyed the file on his desk. This case was one in
which his services had been retained for the
acquisition of a particular person. The case concerned
a debtor designated for what could only be called a
'routine' enslavement. She should have been just like a
hundred other insolvent female debtors whose freedom he
had taken in the interests of his clients. He just
wasn't sure she was the type of person his company
ought to be acquiring. He told himself that he wasn't
getting soft, just being careful.
As he contemplated his reservations about the case at
hand, he was receiving much pleasure from the girl
crouched between his legs. She would have chosen to be
almost anywhere else if the choice had been hers to
make. But his client had come to own her as a result of
his own efforts a year earlier. He experienced a thrill
as he realized that her present sexual services were a
kind of reward to him from the client for a job well
done.
He had not felt compassion for her. She had
deliberately defrauded many businesses and her present
sexual slavery was a punishment well deserved. He felt
that he could, therefore, enjoy guilt free the
pleasures she was forced to provide.
While seated in his executive chair he had been able to
look down upon her blonde head, her well tanned
shoulders, and her tear stained face. He enjoyed the
pleasurable sensation of her warm wet tongue slowly
caressing the sensitive under side of his penis and
glans. This pleasure had alternated with the rapid and
feather light butterfly movements of her tongue on his
testicles.
She had aroused him from complete flaccidity to a
partial erection very quickly, hoping to end her task
in record time. But he, wishing to prolong both his own
pleasure and her humiliation, had made her desist
whenever it seemed he might be approaching a point of
no return.
Bill knew that such a profession as his, with its
attendant pleasures, would not have been possible a
century earlier. But the straight-laced majority of
citizens had become more tolerant of the desires of a
minority to discreetly pursue such vices as
pornography, nudity, prostitution, drugs and gambling.
This had helped set the stage for what was to come.
However, the main event that had ushered in the New
Order, along with those changed attitudes, had been the
creation of the new nation of Capitallia
Two months ago the assign gram his secretary had pulled
up on the optiFiber machine indicated that his client,
SlendaBond, wished to acquire ownership of one
Stephanie Glenn, in satisfaction of her debts to that
firm. There was a megafile elinked with some photos of
Stephanie and her vital statistics. He had noticed that
she was a looker!
Her file detailed her professional accomplishments as
an accountant, the papers she had written for
professional societies and the community charitable
activities she was involved with. He had begun to
question if this was the sort of young woman the firm
ought to be enslaving.
He had called up the client to ask if the firm couldn't
just let this particular quarry slip through the net.
The answer that he got was an emphatic no! He was told
that they, in turn, had a client who was prepared to
pay the firm a pretty penny for the privilege of
penetrating her as and when desired for the rest of her
life.
The client's client would be willing to sign a twenty
year lease to possess her body, following her slave
training. The company couldn't afford to just forego
such a deal!
As he had read further in her file he began to notice
tell tale signs that someone might have run up bills in
her name without her knowledge. It wasn't his job to
rectify such things, he told himself. Those were the
kind of things that her defense attorney should
question. Nevertheless something about this case had
made him uncomfortable.
That was two months ago. Since then the case had moved
forward to the point that earlier this day he had been
able to do a "Creditor's Examination" on the finances
and on the person of this Stephanie Glenn. He had, of
course, touched and intimately examined many women
destined for slavery in the course of his career. At
first it had been exciting. Then it got to be old.
But with the young woman today, some of the old
excitement had returned. He stood before her this
morning, peering into her mouth to check her teeth with
one hand, while cupping her vulva with the other hand.
As he did this he experienced her trembling and a sense
of her intense vulnerability. As a result he actually
had some tender feeling for her! He had locked eyes
with her for one brief moment. Then he reproached
himself for a moment of weakness and went back to the
business of examining her much as he might inspect
livestock.
His thoughts had moved forward in time to the girl
under his desk still trying to bring him to climax. His
penis hardened as he thought about the delicious
experience he had with Stephanie at her exam this
morning. This thought, together with the additional
help of the young tongue beneath the desk licking his
testicles, brought him to an explosive climax. Spurt
after spurt of his seed entered the mouth of the pretty
twenty something, and he made sure some of the spurts
decorated her face as well!
He insisted the girl continue to stimulate his
completely flaccid penis with her lips and tongue for
the better part of an additional half an hour. He hoped
to come a second time. But as thoughts about the exam
this morning began to focus more and more on the
possible injustice of enslaving Stephanie, he realized
his penis was down for the count. He no longer had the
desire for another orgasm at this time.
He pulled on the leash of the young woman beneath his
desk, indicating that she was to rise from her lowly
position. He noted the ropes of his semen splattered
all across her face and running out of the corner of
her mouth. She had not been able to tidy herself up
since she was handcuffed.
He took a tissue and cleaned her face himself, taking
particular care to wipe away her tears and to wipe his
semen from her eyelids. Then he used his key to unlock
her handcuffs and gave her permission to put her
clothes on. He led her on her leash to the guard
waiting to collect her just outside his office. He
wished to be alone with his thoughts.
Chapter 1. Stephanie's Interview
I applied to Masterson Automotive for my first job in
accounting. I was 22 years old and it was the year
2134. Six months earlier my classmates and I had
received our diplomas. The majority of my professional
friends had received no job offer since graduation.
On the day of my appointment I chose to wear high-
heeled shoes and a rather elegant blue dress that came
down only to mid thigh. I knew that my legs were one of
my most attractive features and that showing them off
might help my chances! When I arrived on time for my
appointment, I felt I really could not afford to blow
this opportunity.
I was excited but could also feel some tightness in my
chest. I found myself in a reception area. I noted six
other women about my age and two young men, all
professionally dressed, and all with eclip boards busy
data inputting what I assumed were job applications.
Apparently I had competition as the company had
advertised only one opening.
I had transmitted my completed forms via the opti some
weeks earlier, along with a letter indicating that I
had researched this firm and the reasons why I
particularly wanted to work here. I remembered that
some of the questions on the forms had been quite
personal, even intrusive, but I had answered them
anyway. After about fifteen minutes, a door opened and
a man called out my name. "Miss Stephanie Glenn?"
I looked up to see a tall middle-aged man looking in my
direction.
"I am Jeffrey Duncan from Human Resources. Please
follow me."
I smiled and stood to greet him.
He escorted me down a long corridor, plushy carpeted
and with tasteful artwork, to what was apparently his
own office. There was a spectacular view of the New
York City skyline. He moved behind his elegant desk,
with his back to me, and began speaking for a moment to
someone on the phone. I eyed the comfortable chairs in
front of his desk but he had not invited me to sit down
so I remained nervously standing. After what seemed an
eternity he finished his call.
"Miss Glenn, I do apologize for the interruption. Won't
you have a seat please? Could I have some coffee sent
in for you?"
I took my seat but shook my head regarding the coffee
as I was too wired already.
"My colleagues and I have reviewed your resume and
impressive cover letter, obtained your academic
transcripts, and checked out your references. Seldom
have we had the pleasure of considering such a superbly
qualified applicant," he beamed!
"Thank you sir!"
"Your fine academic record was much enhanced by
evidence of your social skills and by an obvious
interest in physical pursuits. We like to hire
applicants who are both socially adept and physically
fit."
"I do try to constantly challenge myself to maintain my
skills, sir!" I said this with as much enthusiasm as I
could muster.
I felt genuinely complimented. I was pretty sure that
the "physical" reference was to the fact that I had
been captain of the college cheerleading squad, and
also an avid tennis player. The "social" reference was
doubtless to the fact I had been Pledge Mistress and
later President of my sorority.
"If we make you an offer," he continued, "you will find
that your duties with us may include mingling with our
clients at various social functions. You would be
comfortable with that wouldn't you?"
"Yes sir, I have always liked to mingle at social and
business functions. Perhaps you could spell out just
what my duties might be at these functions?"
I felt myself tensing up just a bit, wondering if I
should be reading anything between the lines in the way
he was phrasing this extra-curricular job requirement.
He leaned back in his chair and seemed to be
considering his next words carefully.
"I won't go into detail on your actual duties." He
paused to see if I would object to this omission before
continuing.
"I will say that some of these functions may be quite
formal while others may consist of picnics, swimming
pool outings and the like. Nothing you can't handle!"
There ensued a long pause in which he seemed to be
studying my body language for any clue to how I might
be taking all this news.
"Your apparent social skills and obvious physical
attractiveness are important to us. Clients respond
favorably to such attributes."
I wasn't sure I wanted my physical attractiveness to be
so much a factor in their hiring decision. The
implications of that were beginning to worry me.
"Thank you." I said somewhat more hesitantly than
before.
"I need to inform you at this point, Miss Glenn, that
we give three exams to each applicant who reaches this
stage of our selection process. One is psychological,
one is medical, and the last we call a "physical
aesthetics exam or P.A.E".
I was no longer making eye contact with him and my
muscles tensed. The tests he mentioned were beginning
to sound quite intrusive and in spite of my somewhat
desperate circumstances and need for this job, I was
contemplating a refusal and an early termination of
this interview.
"I sense your hesitation," he offered. "It is not
uncommon for candidates to feel some apprehension about
these tests. But I can assure you, Miss Glenn, that you
are very close to receiving an offer from us, and that
these exams are little more than a formality which will
soon be over and behind you as you begin what we all
hope will be a brilliant career with us!"
Not without some trepidation I reluctantly nodded my
assent. He indicated that the Physical Aesthetics Exam
would be scheduled first, and gave me the date and time
for that appointment.
"After you pass your 'physical' exam, which I am sure
you will, I will notify you of dates for the other two
tests". With that he rose, shook my hand, and escorted
me out.
***
When I reported for the "physical" exam I went directly
to Room B17 in the basement in accordance with
instructions Mr. Duncan had given me. There a male
receptionist, who couldn't have been more than 19 years
old, greeted me.
"You must be Stephanie Glenn," he stated. "We have been
expecting you!"
He escorted me down a long hallway deeper into the
basement complex. Finally we entered a private
examination room. He handed me a paper gown.
"I will need you to disrobe and put on this gown," he
said.
"Put your clothing and personal effects in one of the
lockers on the wall over there".
When he made no immediate move to leave, I wondered for
a moment if he planned to stay and conduct my
examination himself.
"The Examiner will be with you in just a few minutes,"
he finally said, and left me to get undressed.
After getting naked I very carefully put on the flimsy
paper gown, which was sleeveless and came only to mid
thigh. I had to wait quite a while and this gown was
little protection against the chill of the air
conditioning.
While waiting, I saw a "Physical Aesthetics Examiner"
certificate on the wall for a Thomas Baxter, the man
who was evidently going to "examine" me. He had no
medical training but instead had a Master's degree in
"The Aesthetics of the Human Body". I had not even
known that such a degree program or professional
certification existed. But much had changed in
Capitallia in the last ten years.
At long last, Mr. Baxter entered the room, introduced
himself, made some small talk and proceeded to fill out
a buff colored form. He called out his observations as
he checked the various boxes and made additional notes.
"I see that you are pretty, a redhead, fair skinned,
freckled, have high cheekbones, brown eyes, and a
slightly upturned nose," he announced, checking off
items on his form.
"I also see that you have the kind of thick lips most
people would consider sensuous!" He announced this with
some enthusiasm as he scribbled some note on the form.
"Thank you sir." I wasn't sure I liked where this might
be heading, but I certainly didn't want to antagonize
the man, who might very well hold my future in his
hands.
"I will need to take one or two good photos of your
face for our files. Please step over here in front of
this screen."
I did so and waited patiently while he focused studio
lights on my face and adjusted the background lights.
He took front and side shots and seemed satisfied. With
the photo taking done, he motioned me away from the
photo taking area to an alcove with a paper covered
leather table and softer lighting.
"I will need you to remove the gown at this time," he
stated matter-of-factly, "as these exams are always
conducted with the subject naked."
I pondered the fact that Mr. Duncan in Human Resources
had not told me about this aspect of the exam. It was
one thing to be nude for a medical exam, but doing it
in that context felt very different. I hesitated enough
for him to notice my discomfort, but then reluctantly
complied. With me naked he began to call out his
additional observations.
"I see that you are slender, even exquisitely so!" he
observed, checking more boxes on the buff colored form.
"You have well defined clavicles," he continued,
"breasts that are of modest size and firm, a flat and
well toned stomach reflecting, no doubt, your
cheerleading and tennis pursuits!" he said, checking
still more boxes on his form.
"And I can't help but comment on your very long, slim,
and beautifully muscled legs of the kind that our
clients, seeing you at a beach party or swimming pool,
would certainly find most attractive! Are these the
legs that won third place in the Boston Marathon?"
"Yes sir, they are." I didn't like where this was
going.
"I read about that on your resume. That is why I
decided to do your physical myself! I wanted so much to
see and touch those marathon winning legs!"
That last point Mr. Baxter found it necessary to verify
by asking me to flex and tense my leg muscles several
times while he fondled my thighs and calves. He seemed
to be particularly interested in my hamstring muscles,
and how 'defined' the tendons under my flexed knees
were. It had become way too personal, but I bit my
tongue.
"I note that your nipples erect very nicely when
stimulated!"
While he played with them, I tried to do multiplication
tables in my head to avoid becoming aroused. He made
another note on the form. Then his interest shifted to
my genitals
"I see that you are a natural redhead and that you have
applied a lovely perfume to this area of your body! You
have trimmed your hair 'down there' just the way we
like our female employees to do, so the vulva is
adorned but never concealed."
I jerked instinctively when I felt his right hand
fondling my bare left buttock as he pulled me closer to
him for a better view. I thought it outrageous that he
thought any of my private parts were the company's
business. I saw him make more notes on the buff colored
form.
"No doubt you are wondering why we care about such
things?" He looked at me quizzically.
"I don't know if Jeff Duncan told you this or not, but
there will likely be times when you will be socializing
with clients at pool parties in the nude. Clients like
pubic hair but also like to see what you have down
there!"
I didn't know which I felt more, the urge to slap his
face or the urge to cry! But I had come that far, so I
might as well see it through. I could decide later if I
really wanted the job.
After I had settled down again he asked me to do
jumping jacks on a trampoline to assess my physical
fitness. I saw a flash go off and surmised that my
naked body had been photographed during this exercise.
He had not asked me if he might do this, and I was not
at all happy about it!
He had me turn my back to him and proceeded to palpate
my firm buttocks. He then instructed me to bend way
forward and touch my fingers to the floor. He let out a
whistle!
"I must tell you, Miss Glenn, that because of the width
of you hips and the fact that your thighs are so
slender, there is quite a nice gap between your legs
just below your crotch!"
"And your point is?" I practically shouted at him in my
irritation.
"At the nude pool parties, our clients really notice
and appreciate women of your build, since, whenever you
bend forward even a little, you provide them with a
lovely rear view of your vulva!" He made another
notation on the form.
"There is something else Jeff probably didn't tell
you". He paused, a worried look on his face, as if
considering whether he should go on.
"Sometimes, when we are entertaining clients there will
be 'opportunities' when you could help the company if
you volunteered to have sex with one of them. I can
assure you these situations are always purely
voluntary." He said this in such a casual, matter-of-
fact way, that I thought he might be making small talk
about the weather.
I was quite sure by this point that I would not likely
accept any offer the company made. Nevertheless it
would boost my self-confidence to at least have an
offer to reject after six months of fruitless job
hunting.
"You will never be forced to have sex with anyone if
you don't want to!" He proclaimed as though pointing
out one of the great benefits of working at Masterson
Automotive!
"But if you do have sex with one of our clients, then
we want to be very sure the client is going to find you
pleasing in every way. That is why we must now proceed
to a more intimate examination of your person."
"But I am sure I would never volunteer to have sex with
a client!" I intend to keep my work life and my
personal life entirely separate!"
"That is pretty much what every young woman tells me at
the time of her exam. But quite a few of them later
change their mind. That is why we have to be thorough
now, just in case."
"I need you to spread apart the lips of your vulva with
your fingers. I need to have a good look inside."
I was seething inside but had not yet decided whether
to let him know it yet.
"You are not a doctor sir!" I said with more than a
little concern. "I see no reason why you need to look
inside my vulva!"
I was shocked at the impertinence of this man and the
company he represented. I could feel my breathing speed
up and the muscles of my upper back and neck tense. My
arms were trembling.
"It is partly for hygiene and partly for aesthetics.
Now come along and get with the program! I don't have
all day you know!"
He had answered me with an impatient tone and a look
that seemed to say it was almost beneath his dignity to
respond to my silly female objections.
"Did all your other female job applicants agree to this
procedure?"
"Nearly all of them, yes."
I was stalling for time to decide what to do. I
reminded myself that jobs in the accounting field were
extremely difficult to find under the economic
conditions of the time. Finally I nodded my head in
reluctant acquiescence and held by labia open for his
inspection.
The man took his time and seemed to be immensely
enjoying his work, examining, but not touching, each
little detail of my vulva while he hummed a tune and
stopped a few times to make copious notes on the buff
colored form.
"You have a very pleasant aroma 'down there' compared
to most women I have examined!"
He said this as though I ought to be everlastingly
grateful for such a compliment. I became aware of my
own sexual scent and looked down, observing that my
inner labia were becoming visibly engorged with blood.
Even though he had not actually touched me down there I
was becoming aroused. It was the humiliation of the
whole situation that was making me hot, and not any
feeling I had for him.
Before I knew what was happening I saw a flash and knew
he had taken a second photo without my permission. This
time it was of my vulva in an aroused condition!
Without even stopping to think I shoved him away from
his camera, grabbed the camera and jerked out the film
cartridge, tearing the cartridge apart with my bare
hands! What I didn't learn until much later was that
the image had already been electronically stored and
would be sent to Jeff Duncan and others for their
perusal!
"All right bitch! We have plenty of good job applicants
here! I don't need to waste my time with girls like you
who don't appreciate the opportunity you are being
given!"
He stormed out of the room. I got dressed. Just then an
attractive woman of middle age, a Mrs. Binson, came in
to talk with me.
"Miss Glenn, I understand that you and my colleague,
Mr. Baxter, did not get along," she said with what
appeared to be genuine concern. "Sometimes he can be a
bit rough in his manner with the applicants. I will be
happy to take over for Mr. Baxter if you would feel
more comfortable with a female examiner?"
"Yes, perhaps that would be better." I breathed a sign
of relief.
"There is one other requirement, Miss." She paused,
momentarily.
"We will need you to sign this consent form,
Stephanie." As she made this announcement she put a
clipboard with a form in front of me.
"What is that for?" I asked.
"It is for the clitoral response test. It is permission
for me to touch your privates, Miss Glenn, for the
purpose of arousing you and for testing your capacity
for sexual response."
This female examiner was clearly going to be no better
than the male one!
"We need this signed to protect me personally, and the
company"
"Protect you from what?" I asked.
"Why in case an applicant should later decide to file a
complaint alleging that she was sexually molested
during the interview exam. Believe me, it is no big
deal. All our applicants sign this. It is just
routine."
I felt the bile rise in my throat and I found myself
yelling at her.
"I hate to fucking spoil such a successful fucking run
you and your colleague have been having, Mrs. Binson,
but my answer is "no fucking way! You can tell Jeff
Duncan I said so, and if that disqualifies me, so be
it!" I was hoarse from shouting at her.
With that I put my clothes back on and stormed out of
the lab and out of the building. I really did not
expect to hear further from the company after my angry
outbursts.
Two days later, much to my surprise, I got a call from
Jeff Duncan indicating that my objection to the
clitoral test had been noted, but that I was still in
the running for the job.
He scheduled me for the medical exam at a clinic where
the company had a contract. I got that out of the way
the next day. It was a routine sort of exam and
certainly proved to be far less embarrassing than the
P.A.E. had been.
Three days after that I got the call to come back the
following day. Upon arrival I was informed that Mr.
Gregory, the company psychologist, would see me. After
a short wait a twenty something girl in a micro skirt
took me from the reception area to his office.
I wondered how they got their female employees to dress
in such a lewd way.
Before I had a chance to pursue that thought we were
there and I was ushered into what seemed a much less
elegant office than Mr. Duncan of Human Resources
occupied.
"Hello, Miss Glenn, I am Paul Gregory, he said with a
warm smile. Have a seat. Most employees call me 'the
company shrink', but really I don't bite. This will be
your last stage in the interview process. Can I get you
some coffee?"
"No, I just had some, thanks." I appreciated his
courtesy but felt I could do a better job fielding his
questions without the distraction of balancing a cup in
my lap.
"Today we will see if we can learn what makes you tick,
what your fears are, and what incentives would motivate
you to your highest level of achievement here at
Masterson Automotive."
He announced all the foregoing with an expansive
gesture and a genial smile, but I did not feel
cheerful. I knew I needed to be on guard for a trap. I
felt the muscles in my upper back begin to tense up.
This sounded as though it might be as intrusive
mentally as the other exam had been physically.
"First I am informed," he paused for a pregnant moment,
"that you refused our clitoral response test. Is that
correct, and if so, why?"
"Sir, I just believe some things are too personal to
share with a prospective employer!" I responded, in my
most mellifluous voice, with as much of a smile as I
could muster.
"Quite right! He said as he grinned from ear to ear and
slapped his knee for emphasis.
"We were actually pleased" he said, "that you refused
that test! It showed us that you have some spirit and
ability to be non compliant when the situation calls
for that! What surprised us, frankly, was that you
hadn't walked out when he asked you to hold your labia
open for his vulva exam!
He looked at me curiously, hoping for some reaction. I
was acutely embarrassed and at a loss for anything
effective to say. Then he continued.
"There was really no need for you to have submitted to
that. The fact that you did, however, shows us that you
are pliable, at least to some degree. We like women who
are pliable, within reason."
I was not comfortable with this conversation.
"Mr. Gregory," I said, "that whole episode is something
I would like to put behind me. Could we please just
move on to the rest of this interview?"
"Indeed! I need to ask you if you have any ambitions to
rise to a management level position with our firm
"Definitely yes!" I replied confidently.
I could see that he was very intently making eye
contact with me and watching my body language for
anything that might contradict my words.
"Would you consider yourself to be a 'take charge' kind
of person?"
"I can only rely on my background to show you that I do
have 'take charge' potential. Would you like to hear of
some of my accomplishments?"
"Most definitely!" he replied.
"In college I was Pledge Mistress of my sorority in my
junior year and was elected President in my senior
year! In high school I was captain of our cheerleading
team two years in a row! I would think that illustrates
that others respected me as a natural leader!" I
exclaimed as I smiled brightly.
"Then I must also ask you what kind of leader you
were?"
"What do you mean sir?" I asked, confused by his
question.
"I mean were you the kind of leader who rose to the top
by pushing anyone aside who got in your way?" Were you
ruthless?"
I got an uncomfortable feeling as I saw his eyes boring
into me. He wasn't going to let me fluff this one off
or change the subject. Clearly he was going after
something in particular!
"I don't understand sir? Why would you be asking me
that? I always tried to lead by setting a good example
and by obtaining the consent and cooperation of all
concerned."
He leaned back in his chair with a resigned expression
and avoided making eye contact with me.
"Are you telling me the whole truth, Stephanie?" He
asked as though suggesting that I was being
deliberately evasive.
"I guess so. At least I tried to."
"Well, I do have some information about you, Miss
Glenn, that I obtained by interviewing some of your old
high school classmates."
He said this like a cat playing with a mouse. He was
again looking right at me. I felt my spirits sag. I
knew that some of them had never liked me back in the
day, and who knows what they might have said to him!
"What I learned was that when you were captain of the
cheerleaders you organized your teammates and a select
few other girls into an exclusive clique. I was told
that your clique was cruel to girls who were not
members."
After throwing this accusation my way he just let it
hang in the air for several minutes. He was watching my
facial muscles and my body language intently. He had
not asked a direct question so I just tried to look
calm and waited him out. He continued.
"I was also told that behind your back half the girls
in your high school referred to you as 'the bitch'. Is
there any truth, Stephanie, in these statements?"
Now I had to respond, and I was at a loss! I knew there
was truth in what he had heard about me, but I
struggled to find an artful response. I needed an
answer that wouldn't kill my chances for this job.
"Perhaps some of it is true." I said. "I really don't
know what to say. That was quite a few years back and I
was only 16 or 17 years old at the time. Now, after
finishing a four year college I believe I have matured.
I am not the same person I was then."
I could feel my brow was hot, my cheeks were flushed
and I was starting to sweat. Maybe the job was slipping
away from me in spite of all I had endured so far.
"We hope so Miss Glenn. We certainly hope so!" He
responded with a sigh and paused a long moment before
continuing.
"We are certainly willing to allow for the possibility
that you are not that same person after a college
experience." He finished his thought in a more
optimistic tone.
"Thank you sir!" Maybe there was still hope, I thought.
"How would you say you have related to men in
connection with dating, during your junior and senior
years of college, and since then?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, Miss Glenn, were your contacts with men in
social or dating situations generally pleasant for both
you and the men? Or would you say these experiences
were antagonistic?"
"I socialize easily and most of my friends call me an
extrovert!" As I said this I knew that it was glib, and
not entirely responsive.
"That is not what I asked!" He was nearly shouting at
me now. After a pause he continued in a calmer tone.
"I have also interviewed some of the men you have
dated, and some men who wanted to date you and were
rejected. What I learned does cause me some concern."
"What did they say sir?"
"They said you seemed to delight in putting men down,
that you would only date guys who were extremely
handsome and popular, and that you seemed to well ..."
he paused, "find, how shall we say, the ones that also
had a hidden submissive side!"
I was stunned! How could he possibly know these things
about me? Even my best friends did not know this about
me!
"Also," he continued, "it was said that you were
vicious in the way you would humiliate men you did not
want to date, and that men you did choose to date were
usually treated badly when you tired of them!"
I thought fast. How could I strike just the right tone
and maybe make my vice seem like a virtue?
"I will not deny any of it sir. I believe though, that
some of my past behaviors could be viewed as signs of
an aggressive character. If I can smooth out some of
the rough edges, such a character trait could actually
help me in a future management role!" I paused for
effect and to observe his reaction. He indicated with a
wave of his hand that He liked what he was hearing and
wanted me to continue.
"I think I can grow out of my past 'bitchiness', if you
will, and put those aggressive traits to good purpose
if I am given a chance here at Masterson Automotive."
"You just said the magic words, Miss Glenn! He beamed!
"I am impressed with your resourcefulness that you know
how to sell a negative as a potential positive!" This
he uttered with an expansive sweep of his hand to show
just how much effective my words had been.
He waited to be sure I would hang on every word. I was
excited to think I had possibly snatched victory from
the jaws of defeat! Maybe I was still in the running!
He continued.
"I am also impressed with your honesty" he continued
"that you would so easily acknowledge the truth of what
was said about you! I will tell you that, if we were to
make you an offer, you would be in a level 3 position
and you would be reporting to Tom Jenkins, head of
Accounts Receivable."
After another twenty minutes of more routine questions,
Mr. Gregory announced that the interview was concluded
and that I would be contacted within a week or two with
the company's decision.
Chapter 2. The Slaver As A Young Man
Earlier today my partner and I, together with staff,
celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the founding of
the William Steelforth Agency. A second cause for
festivities was that 2136 was promising to be a banner
year for the firm.
Our celebration caused me to reflect on just who I,
William Steelforth, had been as a young man, what my
values had been then and since, how I developed an
early interest in slavery, and why I eventually founded
a firm to earn my living doing something I not only
believe in, but also enjoy!
I was never an egalitarian, even in my high school
days, since I always believed that people were
essentially unequal in every sense. The founders of the
United States erred, in my judgment, in building a
nation on the principles that all people should be
equal before the law and equal in the voting booth.
But things were starting to change.
In 2089, three years before I was born, our nation, now
called Capitallia, had been formed by 38 states
seceding from the old United States. All this had
happened because of a civil war over the issues of
taxation, the voting franchise and slavery.
The new nation had started by adopting a constitution
very much like that of the U.S. There were two very
significant differences however.
The first was encoded as the Servitude Article of the
new nation, and provided that Congress might pass
slavery laws or indentured servitude laws which would
be constitutional, not only as a punishment for crime,
as in the United States, but also as a means for the
satisfaction of debt. The article also provided that
Congress might pass laws establishing voluntary
servitude or slavery, i.e. a man or woman might sell
himself or herself into bondage.
The second was encoded as the Citizenship Article. Its
effect was to deny universal suffrage in favor of a
restrictive definition of citizenship:
Section 1. Citizenship in Capitallia shall be a right
that must be earned by demonstrating appropriate
knowledge of basic principles of government, and by
paying a citizenship tax that shall be apportioned
equally among all citizens. No person who has not
attained the age of twenty-five years may become a
citizen.
Section 2. A person who is not a citizen shall not be
entitled to vote, serve on a jury, own real estate, own
a business, own or carry a firearm, or sue or be sued
in the civil courts of the nation's judiciary.
Section 3. A person who is not a citizen may be
required to carry or wear an identification device that
shall provide for positive ID, remote
tracking, and public display of his or her status. Such
device must be presented to any officer of the law upon
demand. Such person shall have only such rights of
personal, financial, or medical privacy as Congress
shall see fit to provide by statute.
Section 4. Administrative tribunals, with limited
appeal rights, shall be established to resolve disputes
by or against persons who are not citizens.
The Congress soon passed legislation to implement the
Citizenship Article and within a few years after the
founding of the new nation the number of citizens had
been reduced to about half of the nation's adult
population. This was to set the stage for still further
developments that would make the nation even less
egalitarian.
Congress was also under pressure from the very
beginning of the new nation to pass legislation
implementing the Servitude Article. At first Congress
passed laws that only allowed for 'indentured
servitude' for a limited number of years. Indentures
whether voluntary or for debt, could be bought and
sold, but it was said that the person could not be
bought or sold.
Only a few years after the Citizenship laws were passed
Congress had enacted the "Community Labor and Debtor
Restitution Act". I would have been only a few years
old at the time this was passed.
The purpose of this law was to provide some relief for
creditors by indenturing the insolvent debtor for a
term of up to eight years, or until he or she had
worked off the debt, whichever came first. The law also
allowed a man or woman to indenture himself or herself
voluntarily for up to eight years in exchange for some
valuable consideration, such as payment of medical
expenses of a loved one.
The debtor's indenture belonged to his creditor in the
first instance, and could be sold to others. It was
said that the indenture could be bought and sold, but
not the person. Nevertheless many young women and men
wound up having their indentures sold to brothels.
My own first experience with prostitution happened the
year I started high school. Prostitution had been legal
for some thirty years by then.
The laws, for some time, had permitted boys as young as
14 to enjoy the services of licensed houses of female
prostitution if accompanied by their father or male
guardian. My first two visits were with my dad. The
minimum age for a girl wishing to enjoy a male
prostitute was 16, and only if accompanied by her
mother or a female guardian.
On my first visit I was 14 and accompanied by my
father. This was some 11 years after the "Community
Labor and Debtor Restitution Act" so that, while there
may have been a few voluntary prostitutes, most of
them, at that time, were serving the public on a
strictly involuntary basis. Many a young woman,
indentured for debt, or convicted of some crime, ended
up being forced to serve the public sexually, in either
a public or private brothel.
The supply of women available to brothel operators was
plentiful and their cost was low, and accordingly the
prices charged to the customers were quite reasonable
compared to what prices had been for such services when
all prostitution had been voluntary! . Perhaps best of
all, or so I thought at the time, was the fact that
these new involuntary prostitutes had no right of
refusal. They must serve all customers, and in whatever
way the customer desired!
It seemed just to me that young people should work off
their debts in this way if that is where they were most
needed, and just also that the most productive members
of society should be able to enjoy themselves by
patronizing such establishments.
While kinky services were probably available even then,
my father thought it best, for my first visit, to sign
me up for a very conventional intercourse experience. I
never was informed, on that occasion, if the woman who
serviced me was there on a voluntary or involuntary
basis. Perhaps my father did not want me to dwell on
that aspect of prostitution at the tender age of 14.
What really mattered to me then was that I was going to
enjoy my first fuck!
A year later I talked my father into taking me again.
This time I was all keyed up on the idea of enjoying a
woman on a non-consensual basis. I asked my dad if
special arrangements could be made.
I wanted to be certain I would have the opportunity to
fuck, not just any woman, but one who was paying her
debt to society for, say some white collar crime! I
wanted a chance to read her file first and learn
something of her sexual history and what was the crime
for which she had been sentenced. That would make
fucking her much more of a thrill! It was!
I can remember a rather heated discussion I had, in my
senior year of high school, about servitude ideas with
Mr. Maxwell, my high school civics teacher. My teacher
had given a rather impassioned lecture about the evils
of our law that legalized a limited form of slavery. I
went back to his classroom at the end of the school
day.
"You wanted to see me about the homework, Bill?" My
teacher glanced up at me from his desk expectantly.
"No sir," I replied. "I really wanted to talk to you
about what you said in class today." I hesitated. "What
I mean is, you said you had some serious objections to
that law, you know, the one about indentured
servitude."
"Go ahead Bill." He shifted in his chair and looked
more interested already.
"I just don't get it!" I blurted out. "I thought it was
a pretty neat law! Our family gets its grass cut, its
cars washed, and snow shoveled, all for next to
nothing! We even have a maid to keep the house tidy.
Dad says we couldn't afford any of these things before
the indenture laws! And all my friends think it is a
cool law too!"
"Don't you ever think of the rights of the people who
are indentured?" My teacher responded, in his patient
teacher voice.
"Well yeah, I guess I think of that sometimes. But
these people need to pay their debt to society, or to
their creditors, so they really gave up their rights
when they committed a crime, mismanaged their money or
sold themselves to pay for medical care!!"
"Some of us would argue," he pointed out in a calm even
tone, "that there are certain rights no person can give
up or have taken away! Even if he or she is hopelessly
in debt, or has committed a crime!" The prime examples
would be the right of a person to life, to liberty, and
to the pursuit of happiness."
"Sir," I replied with excitement, seeing the
possibility of a rhetorical victory, "would that mean
that a man who is too poor to feed his family or pay
for his family's medical care, for example, should not
be able to sell himself into slavery, in exchange for
financial support for his family?"
"That had always been one of the core beliefs of our
forefathers! It is in the Declaration of Independence
of the United States. It was the law we all lived under
until radical revolutionaries brought about the
secession of our state and 37 others from the U.S. just
a few years before you were born. You realize not all
of us agreed with the secession, but we lost out to the
radicals."
"But Mr. Maxwell, what if the man dearly loved his wife
or his child and one of them needed an operation that
cost well beyond the amount of money he could ever earn
in wages as a free laborer? Should he have to watch his
loved one die because he cannot raise money by selling
or indenturing himself?"
"Bill, listen to what I am saying! The man should not
be faced with such a choice in a civilized society.
Medical care is a basic right, and society should pay
for this man's loved one to have the operation if he
cannot pay himself." My teacher was beginning to show
signs of impatience with my argument.
"If medical care is a basic right," I replied "doesn't
that mean that some of us must give up quite a bit of
our 'liberty' and our 'right to pursue our own
happiness' in order to pay for someone else's medical
care? Isn't that a form of slavery in itself?" I felt I
had him there.
"Sometimes we have to make sacrifices, Bill. If a
woman, for example, has to indenture herself just to
live, or to pay for her child's operation, she can
hardly be equal to other citizens in any sense, can
she?" He seemed to feel he had me there.
"Why should we even care" I boldly questioned "if
everyone is equal in political, social, or legal
terms?"
He looked shocked at my statement.
"Sir, you seem to be saying we should go back to the
egalitarian ideas of the old United States. Did that
nation not, in effect, allow the slothful and the
willfully uninformed to have a huge voice in
determining who the national leaders would be and how
the tax dollars would be spent? " I was on a roll. How
could he possibly counter my argument?
"Bill, when you create a class of people who don't have
all the same rights as the rest of us, you create the
conditions for that group of people to be terribly
exploited for their labor and even for sex! Surely you
have heard about all the young women who are forced to
serve the public sexually?"
"But why is any of that a problem sir? Maybe certain
people deserve to work long hours for low wages or even
make themselves useful in sexual ways! That may well be
the best way, or the only way, that people with no
special skills can earn their living or repay their
debts!" I certainly wasn't going to share with my
teacher the fact that I had enjoyed non-consensual sex
services myself at the age of 14 and again at age 15!
"Bill, I have papers to grade. Let us continue this
discussion another time."
He turned back to his work and when I left him I had
the distinct impression that I had made the better
argument. I did not try again to pursue these ideas
further with my civics teacher, but continued to think
about them for the next few years.
To be candid, my early interest in slavery was due to
the very sexual possibilities it opened up!
During my high school years, I was pleased to see that
laws were passed implementing Section 3 of the
Citizenship Article, requiring all non-citizens to
conspicuously wear electronic bracelets or necklaces.
It was fun to be able to see at a glance who was a
Citizen and who was not.
At that time I was not yet eligible for citizenship
since I was only nineteen. Congress, however, had
excused all persons under the age of twenty-five who
had no brushes with the law from wearing the degrading
bracelets.
It soon developed that non-citizens had little privacy.
Any citizen who wished to do so could scan their
electronic bracelet, learn that person's identity, and
even pull up quite a substantial file on that person.
Congress had not, however, chosen to declare the
medical and financial records of such persons to be
publicly available.
When I was about 19 I had my first opportunity to visit
a house of prostitution as an adult and to really
choose what I wanted from the full menu of services. I
found that one of the services available to me, as a
paying customer, was that I might sexually dominate a
young female prostitute during my time with her, if I
wished. I could even have a rape like experience if I
so desired. I did not choose to avail myself of this
option.
I did have advance information that a certain Suzanne
Metzker, a girl I once knew in high school had been for
a year or more indentured in this particular brothel.
And that she had had many customers during that year. I
knew what shifts she worked and what fees her employer
charged customers for her services.
This girl, when she was in high school, had gone out on
several dates with me. I was just interested in her for
sex. I tried to get her to go down on me but she
thought that was a filthy practice. She was also
pushing for a more serious relationship than I cared to
have with her. So she had broken off our budding
relationship. I had missed the sex for the rest of my
senior year. I thought it would be rather pleasant to
hire her services now! I knew that she had no legal
right to refuse me now, but I would not force her. I
would have enough pleasure just seeing her suffer the
loss of face in my knowing that she was now a public
whore! If she didn't want to serve me now I would
dismiss her and choose a different girl.
It was likely, of course, that Suzanne could ill afford
to reject me now. She would need all the customers she
could get to make satisfactory progress paying down her
debt and thereby winning back her freedom. Also the
brothel had a policy that if a customer was not
satisfied by one of their girls and had to choose
another, the first girl would lose one half of her
total credits for that week. That made it very
expensive indeed for a girl to send away a customer
unsatisfied. I felt quite sure that Suzanne Metzger
would now, finally, be taking my penis in her lovely
mouth.
I had to wait some time for my appointment with her as
she was entertaining another customer when I arrived.
During this time I struck up a conversation with
another customer, a young guy about my own age, in the
waiting lounge. He introduced himself as Charles
Witherspoon, and I responded, introducing myself simply
as Bill.
"Are you waiting for a session, Mr. Witherspoon?" I
asked, just to make conversation.
"Not at all. Call me Charlie please. I just had an
incredible session! Right now I am just waiting for my
traveling companion to finish his session so we can
leave." He seemed to fairly glow with satisfaction and
pride.
"What was so wonderful about your experience Charlie?"
"Her name was Vicki Rogers, a hot number. To really
explain, Bill, I need to go back a few years to when
Vicki and I were both high school students. Say, if you
have some time to kill, they have an exquisite Merlot
here! Would you have a glass with me? I'll buy!"
That seemed like an attractive offer, so I accepted. He
signaled to a cute waitress who promptly came over and
took our order. I could not help but admire her tanned
and toned legs in the very short micro skirt she was
wearing.
"I had one date with her then," Charlie continued. "I
never even got to first base. Two days later, when I
called for a second date, she acted like I was some
kind of creep! The next thing I knew Vicki was
spreading lies about me, that I had exposed myself to
her and tried to force myself on her after she said
no!"
"Did you ever find out why she did all this?" I was
genuinely curious now.
"Maybe someone in her clique got to her and she felt
she had to redeem herself in their eyes," Charlie
replied. "Soon all the girls had heard her story and no
one wanted to lose face with the other girls by dating
a guy like that! She totally humiliated me and trashed
my reputation."
"Was that the end of the story?" Just then our leggy
waitress brought our wine. We each took a glass, then
Charlie continued his story.
"It was the end of our high school encounter and any
chance I had for a social life back then. But just a
few days ago, while surfing the net for prostitutes, I
discovered her listing. There was her name and photo,
and the name of the high school we had both attended,
so there could be no mistake that this was the same
girl. The notice said she had been indentured to this
brothel only a week ago."
"What was your reaction on learning this?" I leaned
forward eager for his response.
"I thought that there could not be anything more
delightful than indentured servitude! This fantastic
new legal system was going to give me the opportunity
to pay her back at last for the sexual injury she had
caused me, and to pay her back in a sexual way!"
"Here, here!" I said, then "To Servitude!" as we
clinked glasses.
"This girl had not only rejected me in the ordinary
sense, but had crushed me with her supercilious
disdain, ruined my name with her libelous stories. She
had taken something precious from me. Now I wanted so
much to take something precious from her. I wanted
sexual justice! Could there be any better way to obtain
that justice than by raping her?"
I was seeing his point all right, even though I doubted
I could follow through with a scheme like his even if I
had been injured as much by a girl as he had been.
"Could there be any better justice than to mount her
slender nakedness, not by her consent, and penetrate
her most private parts! I wanted the pleasure of
violating her!"
"So what did you do?" My curiosity was overcoming me.
"I called the brothel and learned that she had not had
any customers as yet, and was still a virgin. I hinted
at the fact that I was eager to have a rape experience
with this particular girl."
I sat on the edge of my chair. He had certainly got my
attention with this tale.
"The brothel manager indicated that newly indentured
girls are nearly always reluctant to begin their work
as prostitutes. He felt sure that this one, based on
her known attitude and personality, would probably be
completely unwilling to be fucked by her first
customer! I told him that I would pay triple if I could
be that first customer, and if I could have her
restrained in advance for my pleasure. The manager
agreed to my terms."
I now saw that he probably had succeeded in carrying
out his sexual vengeance here today. Doubtless this was
what had caused that glow of satisfaction I had noted
in him at the beginning of our conversation.
"When I entered the session room, Bill, I found they
had secured her in a spread eagle position on a leather
padded bench known as a 'fucking bench'. Her legs were
widely spread and secured to adjustable struts
extending out to the sides. There were electric motors
that could extend or retract these struts. There was a
bolster to raise her pelvis and lock her hips from
moving to either side. Also there was a belt around her
waist to insure she could not lift her pelvis up from
the bolster. Her arms were secured to the side of the
table. She was naked, except for panties, and also
blindfolded. All was exactly as I had requested of the
manager. I had requested that her panties be left on so
that I might have the pleasure of removing them."
I was intrigued at his scenario. I even thought of
doing something like that with my session and the girl
I had known in high school. I could, of course, if I
chose to do so. But I did not have that much anger in
me. I rejected his scenario for my own use even while
generally approving of it for him.
"I had specified the blindfold because I wanted to
heighten her anxiety by keeping her in ignorance, at
first, of who the person was that would now be taking
liberties with her body. I resolved to say nothing at
first so that she could not recognize me by my voice. I
proceeded to examine her in a leisurely manner. Her
body was toned and well defined from her years of
gymnastics and dance training. I let my fingers trail
over all the different parts of her.
I had the satisfaction of glancing at the graphical
screen which was displaying results from her digital
bio implant. It showed me clearly that she was
experiencing both fear and anger at her violation! It
showed me which parts of her brain were most active! So
I continued to toy with her to see if I couldn't raise
these readings still higher. I experimented to see if I
could shift the focus of her brain activity to
different regions. She first demanded I desist. I did
not. Then she demanded to know who was doing this. I
said nothing."
I realized that I could perhaps emulate this part of
his scenario as a kinky way to begin my own session,
even though I would give my girl a choice about the
actual sex.
"After enjoying myself in this silent way for perhaps
fifteen minutes, I spoke to her about how much pleasure
I was having. I asked her if she recognized me from my
voice. She could not, though she admitted the voice
sounded very familiar. I took her blindfold off and
inquired if she now recognized me. She was shocked and
her previously demanding manner changed now to fear.
She knew she had wronged me and that I might now take
my reprisal. I began the delicious pleasure of
unveiling her privates, lowering her panties an inch,
then enjoying the view as her curly pubic hair became
visible, then another inch, then more view to enjoy,
and so on until I had them all the way down below her
crotch. Then, using my pocket knife, I cut them and
removed them altogether."
It occurred to me that I could do this gradual
unveiling of Suzanne Metzger's genitals in much the
same way Charlie had with his girl.
"By now, Bill, I am hard with my excitement. I tell her
that her most private parts are about to be penetrated
and enjoyed by a male she had wronged a few years back.
I mount her and ease my dick into her warm soft
feminine parts that would deny me entrance if they
could. I feel the tightness of her vagina, the gentle
pressure of her labia pressing against the sides of my
penile shaft."
I am getting hard myself just listening to him describe
his sexual vengeance!
"I thought about touching the electro control that
would bring her long firm slender muscular thighs
together, so that I might also experience the tensing
of those firm leg muscles against my own. But then I
thought it would be more of a thrill to make her do it
herself through the control of her brain I could
exercise through her bio implant! I experienced the
delicious pleasure of viewing and touching the long
slender arms and delineated clavicles of this creature,
as she bucks under me and tries so hard to dismount me
from her privates. I am also mindful of the pleasure of
the coitus itself as I piston in and out of her
unwilling feminine sheath."
This account of a delicious and sensual rape is getting
me so hot that precum has moistened my briefs!
"I enjoy the ultimate pleasure of watching her face
turn red with shame and humiliation as she realizes
that she is lubricating copiously and that her bucking
is no longer to dislodge me but to experience for
herself the pleasure of the fuck. She is now giving me
the gift of her own sexual response to being raped, a
gift she would give anything to withhold from me, but
cannot. She sees on my face that I am fully conscious
of her unwiling response and that I am enjoying that
gift immensely. This is the moment I reach my peak and
shoot my seed into her womb. At last I pull out with
delicious sensations in my head and in my loins. I had
a rush of such a nature as I had never experienced
before!"
I rose to my feet and high five'd him! Damn, I liked
this man's style! We exchanged business cards so that
we might get together in the future and share
experiences.
After some time I had to bid him adieu as I was
informed that Suzanne Metzker was now ready to serve
me. The manager informed me she would be in room 106
waiting for me and handed me a pair of keys.
"One is for the door to her room, sir. The other is for
her handcuffs and ankle restraints. You see it is
standard policy now, after the 'Act', that indentured
prostitutes are restrained when they await their
customers. You are free, of course, to dispense with
those restraints during your session with her if that
is your pleasure."
As I walked down the corridor to her room I began to
speculate what Suzanne's reaction would be on seeing
the guy whose advances she had rejected in high school
now appearing here as her customer and master. The
social inequality would be simply delicious. That would
be the best part of the whole brothel experience!
I unlocked the door to her room and found her scantily
clad and restrained hand and foot. She recognized me at
once. I sensed some embarrassment in her having a
fellow student from her high school see her under these
circumstances. Indeed the readout from her digital
biometric implant confirmed that she was then
experiencing acute embarrassment.
I made no move to free her from her restraints. Instead
I pulled up a chair so that I might converse with her
for a while. I asked her to tell me how life was in the
brothel and how she was getting along there with the
other prostitutes.
I made it clear to her that I would not force her. And
as I predicted, she was not too proud to service me.
She said she hoped I would let bygones be bygones and
that she needed my business. I explained to her exactly
what sexual services I desired, and that I would
require her to provide these services while remaining
handcuffed. She consented to this as well as the sex.
After I had enjoyed her sexually for about an hour, I
was inclined to relax and socialize with her - further
enjoying the social inequality of the situation. I had
a couple of beers sent in and we both sat down. I had
dressed by that time but she was still naked as I had
not given her permission to put any clothes on. She
still had her hands cuffed in front but was still able
to hold and drink her beer. At my request, she began to
tell me the story of her life after high school and how
she came to be indentured for debt. I was fascinated! I
began to suspect that she had, in fact, been wrongfully
imbonded based on trumped up debts! Indeed the graphic
display of data coming from her biometric implant told
me that she was telling me the truth! At that point I
felt justice required I restore her to some dignity, so
I unlocked her handcuffs and bid her put her clothes on
to continue the tale.
We talked for another half hour and then I took my
leave of her and the brothel.
Despite my own rather pleasurable experiences with her,
I was beginning to question the injustices that often
seemed to take place. She had clearly fallen, perhaps
through no fault of her own, to a social class much
lower than my own.
Chapter 3. The Slaver's Career
Here I will lay out how I, William Steelforth,
progressed from the unqualified slavery enthusiast I
was in high school to the qualified slavery advocate I
had become as managing partner of the agency which bore
my name.
After high school, the next opportunity to have an
animated exchange about my ideas with a teacher came in
a discussion with Professor Petersen, my philosophy
teacher, in my sophomore year of college. Unlike my
high school civics teacher, he was actually a proponent
of slavery. But the kind of slavery I had heard him
advocate in the classroom was rather harsh and
indiscriminate. I approached him one day in his office.
"You wanted to see me about something, Bill?"
"Yes sir. I was glad to hear you speak favorably about
our slavery laws, but I wondered if you had considered
the injustices that are probably going on?" I watched
to see his reaction. He seemed curious but cautious.
"Bill, there are always going to be some minor
injustices with any new law. The important thing is we
are no longer coddling debtors and felons. There is a
fundamental kind of justice in punishing the felon by
making him labor for others, instead of others
(taxpayers) being made to labor to support him (in
prison). There is also a kind of rough justice in not
letting the insolvent debtor off the hook through
bankruptcy laws, but rather make her provide her labor
or her sexual services to the public, if she has no
other way to make her creditor whole."
"But Professor, why could we not refine our new law to
insure that every enslavement would be a just
enslavement?"
"What is your definition of a just enslavement, Bill?"
"For a debt enslavement to be just," I said, "there
would have to be proven failure, fraud or wrongdoing,
and not simply a run of bad luck that could happen to
anyone. The law should bear equally on all without
regard to race, gender, religion, or national origin.
There would need to be careful fact checking by the
Court so that no false claim against a debtor could
succeed. There would also have to be some limits on the
nature of the enslavement imposed by the Court so as to
provide proportionality between the fault of the debtor
and the duration and intensity of the punishment to be
imposed!"
"Bill, you are making a mistake in thinking that the
primary purpose of debt enslavement is to punish. To be
sure the debtor will experience it as extremely
punitive, but that is incidental. The real purpose is
to force the debtor to make the creditor whole even if
extreme measures are needed to realize that goal.
Whether the debtor simply had a run of bad luck, or was
guilty of some fault makes little or no difference.
Either way we want to make his or her creditor whole!"
"But sir," I replied, "the 'Community Labor and Debtor
Restitution Act' allows the creditor to take possession
of the debtor's person for the duration of the
indenture and to direct him or her in such labors as he
might see fit. Few if any restrictions are placed on
the nature of the labor that could be required under
these indentures!"
"And your point is?" he glared at me.
"What about forced prostitution? Is that just?" I had
enjoyed that service myself on several occasions but
was beginning to have some doubts about the ethics of
it.
"Bill, in many cases that would be the only valuable
service a young person with no special training or work
experience could provide that would have any realistic
possibility of discharging his or her debt. Remember
restitution is the goal, not punishment. I don't think
most people would be particularly troubled if a young
person were forced to pay off his or her debt by
providing sexual services to the public. Keep in mind
that society today has developed pretty relaxed
attitudes about sex and prostitution. It doesn't carry
the stigma it once did."
"I take your point Professor. Perhaps we can continue
another time. I will be late to my next class if I
don't leave now." I took my leave.
I studied the various systems of slavery throughout
history, particularly the Roman system and the system
in the American south prior to our Civil War. I much
preferred the Roman system as it was not racially
based, and any person, citizen or not, and regardless
of race, sex, ethnicity, or national origin could be
enslaved for just cause. I had many discussions about
all this with my college philosophy professor. With his
help I began to formulate my ideas for what would
constitute a decent system:
Despite the fact that many debts were being paid off
and the public was enjoying new sexual possibilities,
there were business interests that were not satisfied
with this system of limited indentures.
One day my philosophy professor let met know about an
upcoming symposium, called "Slavery for Today and
Tomorrow," to be held at the university with panel
discussions in which both academic types and business
leaders would hold forth on how our present system of
indentured servitude might be improved.
On the day of the event I found myself in a gathering
of people who were in a very good mood. I ran into
George, a friend I knew from biology class. He
explained to me why everyone was in such a good mood.
It seemed that the corporate sponsors of this gathering
had wanted everyone to be happy and relaxed for the
panel discussions. So they had decided that each
attendee should be provided with an attractive
prostitute to see to his or her sexual needs during the
conference.
On checking in each person was given a ticket for an
assigned seat in each of the forums, a 'privacy
blanket', and a lockable steel collar with a number on
it matching the assigned seat number. As the attractive
young lady at the checkout counter handed George and I
our blankets and collars she explained how the system
worked.
"All you do, gentlemen, is wander the hallways here
where you will see hundreds of indentured prostitutes
on display, each one naked, handcuffed and attached by
a chain to a wall stanchion. When you find one you
fancy, lock the collar around her neck, marking her as
your 'property' for the duration of the symposium. Then
go to your first forum.
"Within about ten minutes one of our guards will have
found the neck locked girl with your seat number on her
collar, and will bring her, still handcuffed to you.
How you choose to use her for your sexual pleasure will
be entirely up to you. Most of our past attendees have
chosen to receive fellatio, with the girl kneeling
under the privacy afforded by the blanket. But if you
wish to engage in sex more openly, that will be your
choice. Or, if you prefer, we do have private rooms
available for nominal rent. If you so request, the
guard who brings your girl will give you a room key and
charge your account."
"But what if she won't do what we ask, or even runs
away?" George wanted to know.
"Don't worry about that! Each of these girls has had at
least 6 months of rigorous obedience training! And she
knows only too well what the consequences would be
should she displease one of our conference attendees!"
The checkout lady said this with a sly grin.
As George and I walked through the corridors there
were, as the lady had said, hundreds of indentured and
chained prostitutes, both male and female. At first we
passed only males, and we noted some of the female
conference attendees were looking them over rather
closely. One lady was weighing, in the palm of her
hand, the scrotum and balls of a guy with a washboard
stomach and very defined musculature. A little further
on we saw a long row of female prostitutes.
Just then I saw a chained and very slender body, but
couldn't quite see the face yet. When the girl turned I
recognized Julie, a girl who had been in my English
Literature class last year. She was drop dead good
looking, but always had her nose in the air. She seemed
to think she was above everybody else. I never dreamed
I would ever see her naked. Maybe I could have some fun
with her now.
"Julie! Do you remember me? I was the guy from English
Lit class last year you wouldn't go out with.
Apparently your circumstances are quite different now!
I would like to hear how you wound up chained to this
wall!" She could not meet my gaze.
"I lost my job as a waitress toward the end of last
year. I missed some payments on my student loan. When
the bank found out I had no income they demanded
payment in full of my entire loan. I could not pay it,
so they indentured me for 4 years for my debt!"
She was still looking down and not meeting my gaze. I
wanted to study her face.
"Look at me Julie!" She finally met my gaze and, as she
did so, I reached out with my right hand and cupped her
vulva, all the while studying her face. I saw a tear
form and start to trickle down her face, even as my
fingers were exploring her pubic hair.
"I think that now that you are indentured, you might
serve me well as a cock sucker!" As I said this I
proceeded to lock my collar upon her neck. Her face now
turned red with humiliation. My friend George was
playing with the breasts of a girl a bit further on and
soon had his collar locked on her neck. We then
proceeded to our first forum.
The first was a panel on the legal aspects of
servitude, how to make indentures 'appeal proof' and
how to make sure you have good title to a person whose
indenture you buy at auction. The leaders of this panel
were a professor of commercial law and a couple of
practicing attorneys. We had not been listening to this
panel for more than ten minutes when a guard brought
our prostitutes to us. We both draped blankets over our
laps and bid the girls go down on their knees and
fellate us. It was most deliciously pleasant to have
these sensations to enjoy even as we listened with
interest to the panel. We would make the girls slow
down or stop whenever there was danger of a premature
climax. We wanted to make this pleasure last all day if
possible!
Of course we took our girls and our blankets with us to
the next panel discussion with the convenient leashes
attached to their collars. This panel was led by CEOs
of pharmaceutical and plastics companies. Their concern
was how to protect proprietary processes, trade secrets
and the investment they make when they put a new hire
through an extensive technical training program. They
had always had the problem of losing the training
investment whenever a new employee would quit after a
short time. Worse than that was the problem of that
employee going to work for their competitor and taking
with them their knowledge of trade secrets. The new
indenture system was giving them a fairly workable
solution to the training investment problem. But it was
no answer to the trade secret problem. I nearly shot my
load into Julie's mouth during this discussion, but
managed to hold off. Julie did get a few drops of my
pre cum on her tongue. George did have his climax.
Another panel was led by Certified Public Accountants.
They bemoaned the fact that young staff accountants
frequently would come on board for a few years, acquire
much confidential knowledge of the finances of the
firm's clients, then leave the firm, taking all that
confidential information with them and peddling it to
the client's competitors. Now Julie was very gently
massaging my scrotum and testicles with the tip of her
tongue. It was delicious.
The most interesting panel of the day was about the
growing prostitution industry, and was led by CEOs of
firms in those enterprises. Their complaint was that
young prostitutes, after working there for a time,
would be in a position to betray the business and its
clients by selling to newspapers the names of the
firm's clients.
Equally serious was the possibility that they might
reveal details concerning the sexual peccadilloes of a
particular client, much to the latter's embarrassment!
As I heard this I knew I wanted even more control over
Julie. I squeezed Julie's nostrils closed with one hand
while I forced my penis to the very back of her throat,
triggering her gag reflex. She soon found that she
could only breathe when I retracted my penis slightly.
I found it very pleasant to control her breathing in
this way!
What the businessmen in all three of the foregoing
industries really wanted were employees they could
train and keep as captive labor for the employee's
entire life! They wanted 'employees' who would never be
free to leave their employment! They wanted to, in
effect, 'own' their employees! With these thoughts in
my mind, I could hold back no longer. I shot a
plentiful load of semen into Julie's mouth. I forbid
her to swallow it quickly, but insisted instead that
she swirl it around her mouth and tongue and fully
experience the taste. The speaker went on about the
need to either replace or supplement the system of
limited indentures with a system of full chattel
slavery. At the conclusion of the prostitution panel,
the day's formal activities were over and the same
guard who had brought Julie earlier came to take her
away. He promised I could have her again the next day.
The second day of the symposium was devoted entirely to
the question "How Do We Achieve Our Objectives?"
As I entered the auditorium a few minutes late, pulling
Julie by her leash, and found my seat, a rather tall
distinguished looking man was holding forth at the
podium. I later learned his name was Robert Dexter of
Dexter Pharmaceuticals.
"I think we all know what kind of system would best
address the concerns expressed in our panels
yesterday." Mr. Dexter fiddled with his notes. "But to
achieve such a system we must have public support and
getting that may depend on what name we give to our
system. I propose that we not call it 'chattel
slavery', as some have suggested, as that sounds too
harsh and conjures up images of the past where masters
whipped slaves and broke up families by selling members
one at a time. Surely, gentlemen, we can achieve our
goals without resorting to that sort of thing!
There was a loud round of applause and cries of 'Here,
here!' I had Julie sitting on my lap this time, the
better to explore her nakedness! When things got quiet
again, Mr. Dexter continued.
"We have had, for a year now, a committee working on
this problem of how to sell our system. What they have
come up with is a concept called "Kinder and Gentler
Slavery". We may even be able to sell this as less
harsh than the present system of indentures, even while
we are making the slavery permanent! The trick would be
to call attention to the human costs of family
disruption under the present system, and the effects on
a spouse and children when the primary breadwinner must
serve for many years without pay! " I began with Julie
by gently caressing her long slender legs.
"We slave owners propose to contract with the public"
Mr. Dexter continued "to provide humane conditions for
our slaves, including a commitment not to whip or break
up families, a commitment to provide good medical care
for the slave and his immediate family, and a decent
retirement for each slave. You all received a leaflet
outlining the key points of the new proposed system
There was an undercurrent of murmuring at this. My
fingers were now busy in Julie's crotch, testing the
resiliency of her pubic hairs, inserting my index
finger in her vagina, while using my thumb to gently
stimulate her clitoris. I was beginning to get a sexual
response from Julie, which she would very much like to
have suppressed. Finally a woman rose to her feet and
asked for the floor. I knew her as manager of a minor
chain of bordellos. The presiding officer gave her the
floor.
"What I want to know is how are we in small business
possibly going to be able to provide these idealistic
benefits?' She took her seat.
"Basically costs are covered by having your industry
association offer group insurance. It is all explained
in the leaflet you all received as you came in."
After some further discussion of the pros and cons, a
resolution was passed giving the sense of the symposium
in favor of the new proposal. The second day was nearly
over. and the guard came again to collect Julie.
I was so excited about this new system of slavery that
we had all agreed to promote to the public that I just
had to put my hard dick into something soft and
feminine. Julie was available and fortunately had
nothing to say about it. Her vagina was mine to enjoy
if I wished to do so. When the guard came to collect
her I asked instead for a private room. There I slipped
my penis inside Julie and reveled in her subservience!
In the weeks that followed, the leaders of the pro
slavery movement appeared on various TV interview shows
to get the widest possible exposure of the new plan.
At the end of the day, the public bought the new idea.
By the time I got out of college the Congress had
passed the "Criminal Punishment and Debtor Satisfaction
Act" bringing back the institution of chattel slavery
and providing that a Court might enslave a person
either as punishment for crime or in satisfaction of a
debt owed to a plaintiff creditor. Criminals, once
enslaved, would become, in the first instance the
property of the government, later to be sold at public
auction to the highest bidder. Debtors, once enslaved,
would become, in the first instance, the property of
the plaintiff creditor to use in any manner he might
think appropriate, and ultimately could be sold at
public auction should the creditor so choose.
Although Capitallia had legalized total slavery, the
public seldom saw naked slaves being paraded through
the streets, as was often the case in earlier slave
owning societies. This was because the new nation had
carried forward most of the ideas regarding public
nudity, exposure of children to nudity and 'lewd public
acts' held by advanced societies for centuries.
Paradoxically, however, it was believed that forced
nudity might be an effective form of shame punishment
to inflict on slaves and criminals, provided that such
displays took place in semi public settings where only
adults who had chosen to view such spectacles need
observe.
With all of these developments I could see the
direction my career should take. There would be a need
for bright and aggressive people to work as 'slavers
agents'. After working a few years for another firm, I
had the financial ability to start my own agency.
During these early years I became aware that it wasn't
just slavery that made people unequal in our society.
The delicious inequality that I so enjoyed was also a
feature of the class system with its distinctions
between citizens and non-citizens.
There was some upward and downward mobility between
classes. A person born as a non-citizen might, with
considerable diligence, earn his or her way up to being
a citizen. Similarly, one born as a citizen might, with
considerable neglect of responsibilities, fall to the
status of non-citizen.
For all this mobility the class system nevertheless
offered special privileges and pleasures to citizens.
For example, during the early years when I was
establishing my agency I had to get to the office early
one day for a meeting with a potential financial
backer.
As usual I had taken the maglev train from my suburban
home to the city, there to catch a personal
transportation (PT) capsule to my office. The train
ride had been relaxing and had given me a chance to
catch up on some reading.
As I stepped off the maglev to the platform I looked to
where the PT capsules queued. There had been only one
remaining. I had rushed to it and noted that a rather
attractive young woman was going to beat me. It was
plain that she was not even a citizen by the
conspicuous non-Cit identification bracelet around her
slender wrist. No citizen would be required to wear
such a bracelet.
"Citizen's privilege!" I shouted at her, but she did
not yield to me as she was required to do by law.
Her failure to defer to me had caused my blood pressure
to rise, the muscles of my neck to stand out and my
shoulders to tense up. It had been more than just
irritating since I believed such rudeness would cause
me to be late to my meeting. I pointed my cell phone at
her bracelet just before she entered the capsule and
touched the "Identify" icon on the screen. Immediately
I had her name, photo and federal ID number on my
display. I then touched the "Save" icon. This sent her
key access data to my personal computer at the office.
I could later use that data, at my leisure, to pull up
any and all information about her that might be in
publicly accessible government files. This might help
me decide whether or not to prefer charges.
I saw her speed away in my PT capsule and steeled
myself for a wait of possibly up to fifteen minutes
before more PT's would be available.
In spite of reaching my office late, my meeting with
the backer was successful. After the meeting I decided
to look up information about the non-cit who had taken
'my' PT this morning. Failure of a non-cit to yield to
a citizen was a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days
in jail. I was amazed at the wealth of publicly
available information I could pull up about her with
just that federal ID number. Nothing as private as
financial or medical records, of course, since she did
have some privacy rights even as a non- citizen. I
could, however, learn her credit history, her criminal
record (if any), her educational background and her
current employment (if any). And there were hundreds of
photos of her taken by public surveillance cameras
including photos of her in a bikini at the beach.
I decided that I would press charges, at least for now.
She would be entitled to an administrative hearing of
course. I would have to present some evidence to back
up my complaint. I thought the video clip I had
captured on my cell phone camera would be sufficient to
get her convicted. But what I was really hoping for was
that she would come to my office to contritely
apologize and beg me to drop the charges. Perhaps she
could express her contrition in a sexual way. That
would be sweet.
***
Our agency has, since its inception, been in the
business of scouting out persons who were insolvent and
could therefore be enslaved and who also had some
talent or youth or beauty to make it all worth the
trouble.
A word is in order here about how the slaving business
developed in Capitallia since the formation of our new
nation. There were essentially two separate aspects of
the trade. What might be called the ‘procurement side’
encompassed firms like my own. What was often called
the ‘merchandising side’ included firms that were
primarily engaged in financing the acquisition of
slaves, slave obedience training, slave physical
conditioning and maintenance, and of course marketing
of the slaves. Firms of this sort were generally my
clients. Their business was capital intensive since
they had to lay out vast sums of money to purchase all
the debts of each of the many debtors they wished to
acquire, plus the added costs of the legal proceedings,
and the costs of training and marketing the ‘products’.
Firms of this sort tended to be centralized in
particular cities where they maintained their
financial, training, warehousing and marketing
operations.
Firms on the ‘procurement side’, like my own, tended to
be geographically dispersed. What we always had to sell
were our professional services and we tended to be
labor intensive rather than capital intensive as were
our clients. Merchandising slavers discovered early on
that setting up their own company offices in far flung
locations with their own salaried employees created a
situation where it was difficult to control such
employees and motivate them to achieve the procurement
results desired. They found it more expedient to hire
professional firms such as my own to do the field work
and pay through commissions for actual results.
Our service also has included hiring a local attorney
in the jurisdiction where such debtor lives, and
working with that attorney to achieve a successful
enslavement, then delivering the 'merchandise' to our
client. Our clients have tended to be predominantly
nationwide or international corporations. We have done
some work for wealthy individuals as well. For the last
five years our largest single client has been a
nationwide prostitution service.
Throughout the years I have always insisted we maintain
the highest ethical standards. I believe I know right
from wrong when it comes to who should be enslaved and
who should not be. My relationship with my clients has
always allowed me to exercise discretion in such
matters.
During the early years of my practice enslavements were
generally straightforward and not too difficult to
achieve. All my team had to show was that the debtor
owed over $10,000, was not able to pay it off within
three years and that we were the sole creditor. But
gradually the courts expanded the rights of defendants
in such proceedings. It was held that a defendant might
present a defense that he or she would be worth more to
the creditor free than enslaved. The plaintiff would
then have to prove the contrary.
Then the courts began to develop a doctrine that
defendants had a right to play to the sympathies of
jurors by presenting highly personal information about
themselves. They could, for example, discuss their fear
of enslavement and their insecurities or anxieties in
general in court as they wished. Finally there was a
case where the male defendant asked the judge if he
might present to the jury testimony of his masturbatory
habits and his fear that, if enslaved, he might be
denied masturbation. The judge saw it otherwise, the
jury enslaved the man, but the appellate court
nullified his enslavement.
In the case of Madison v. Bielman the appellate court
held that defendant had been prevented from exercising
all of his rights to a creative defense and denied the
fullest possible opportunity to try to win the
sympathies of jurors. Double jeopardy attached, so
there could not be a new trial and the man was set
free.
Another aspect of the Bielman ruling also worked to the
advantage of defendants who planned to present
themselves naked at trial. That was a requirement that
prospective jurors who might object to hearing highly
personal testimony from or about the defendant must be
excused from serving. The court held that no juror
could be forced to hear about masturbatory practices if
that went against the juror's own beliefs. Defense
attorneys were only too happy to challenge such jurors
for cause. The end result was that the empanelled jury
was likely to be far more sympathetic to the defendant
than would otherwise have been the case.
These legal developments had made my job quite a bit
more difficult. We had to work harder, but we were
still successful in enslaving most of the people we
went after.
As my practice grew I saw the need to bring in a
partner. At first I took on a male partner. My workload
eased up considerably. One day I was reviewing some of
his cases and discovered that he had enslaved a young
woman apparently for no other reason than his own
desire to fuck her! What was particularly disturbing
was that he had apparently created fictitious debts for
her in order to force her into insolvency. Neither the
court nor the defense counsel had caught this. I could
see that there was a woeful lack of procedural
safeguards in this new debtor enslavement industry! Of
course I fired this partner. I did not approve of his
conduct on both practical and ethical grounds.
I found myself looking for another partner to replace
the fired one. Not being gay or bisexual, I did not
enjoy the male enslavements as much as the female ones.
The thought naturally occurred to me that if I had a
female partner she could handle the male enslavements
and leave me free to spend all of my time on female
enslavements and indentures.
I pursued my contacts within the industry and
eventually came up with a promising candidate. I called
her in for an interview.
"Miss Johnson, perhaps we could begin by your telling
me of how you became interested in slavery and why you
chose this as your profession?"
"Well Bill, if I may call you Bill, I suppose I
developed an interest as a little girl. The idea that
some people would have the right to own and control
other people always intrigued me! It was only fitting,
after all, that people of inferior ability, mentality
or moral status should serve their betters!" This would
make for a just world, assuming, of course, that the
right sort of people were enslaved and that the right
sort of people became their masters!"
"Miss Johnson, I was hoping you would say just that. It
is very important to me also that only a certain sort
of person be enslaved, and that all enslavements be
legally just." I described to her the experience I had
with the male partner and why I had to fire him.
"I understand Bill. That is the way I feel also."
"Part of my purpose in taking on a partner," I said,
"particularly a female partner, is to be relieved of
the need to do male enslavements myself. So I would
want a heterosexual female as my partner. The law
allows us to do a "Creditor's Examination" of any
debtor once we have made a satisfactory prima facie
case and the debtor has been bound over for trial. This
exam typically includes not only the debtor's financial
assets and liabilities, but also the debtor's person.
Our clients nearly always want us to do this so that
they have early information as to the debtor's
potential value on the auction block. So we do a
complete physical, including sexual response testing."
"If we give our client a completely favorable report on
the debtor's body," I continued, "accompanied by
photographs, and the debtor is reported to the client
as responding well to sexual stimulation, then the
client will typically give us carte blanche to pursue
the case. This allows us to hire private investigators
if needed, or to hire jury consultants if indicated. If
the debtor's body is not so desirable, or he or she has
shown poor response to sexual stimulation, the client
may give us a very limited budget."
"Miss Johnson, if you come on board with us, I would
want you to concentrate almost entirely on the male
enslavements and the male Creditor's Exams, and to
enjoy doing so! If I never have to look at a penis
again or weigh a man's balls in my hand, it will be too
soon! So I need some reassurance from you that you are
heterosexual and that you will enjoy the work I have in
mind for you. That will allow me to concentrate on my
first love, which is enslaving females who deserve this
fate!"
"I am heterosexual Bill, and you will find me quite
enthusiastic about my work!" I am looking forward to
those exams!"
And so the firm continued to grow and prosper up to the
time of our celebration.
Chapter 4. Stephanie's New Job
Two weeks had passed since my interview. I had just
about given up hope of landing the job at Masterson
Automotive when the phone rang and it was Jeff Duncan.
He offered me an entry level position in their accounts
receivable department and named a starting salary that
sounded good. My department head would be Tom Jenkins,
while my initial training supervisor would be a Miss
Watson, assistant head of the department. It was agreed
that I would report for work the following Monday.
On Monday I went to my job dressed in attire more
modest than what I had worn to the interview. I wanted
to play it safe. I had noted during my interview visit
that most of the female employees were wearing quite
conservative attire. I did not want to draw hostile
glances on my first day.
I waited in the reception area with a sense of mounting
anticipation.
"Hello, Stephanie Glenn I presume? My name is Vicki
Watson. You will be working closely with me. Tom is in
meetings all day today so you probably won't meet him
until tomorrow. I will take you to our department, but
they are painting the hall we would normally use today,
so we will need to take an alternate route, cutting
through the observation mezzanine of the company's
gymnasium."
We went up a flight of stairs and walked down a long
corridor to where there was a set of double doors where
she hesitated.
"If you aren't entirely comfortable with male nudity
you may want to avert your eyes for this next bit. You
see we are doing pre employment physicals for non-
citizens in the gym today. If you choose to look down
over the railing you will see perhaps a hundred naked
applicants of both sexes being examined, assembly line
style."
"But what about the indecent exposure law? Doesn't that
apply here?"
"Not at all. Since we are a private employer we can
simply waive that on company premises. We just have to
take care that no children or non consenting adults see
these naked applicants."
I was amazed at this revelation. I followed her through
the double doors and tried my best not to look. But I
couldn't help myself. It wasn't every day I got to see
naked men! Some of those guys were very well hung! I
felt sympathetic to the men and women I saw who were
being stripped of all dignity as they were herded like
cattle from one examining station to the next.
"Why aren't they examined individually and privately,
as I was?"
"Stephanie, you are a citizen, so we were obliged to
respect your dignity. These people are not citizens so
we owe them no such consideration. It is more efficient
for the company to examine them in this manner,
whatever the cost to their dignity! We are doing them a
big favor just to let them apply for jobs here!" If we
give them a job, however lowly the position, they can
generally avoid being picked up for vagrancy and make
enough progress paying down their debts so that some
creditor doesn't enslave them!
"That could really happen?" I had heard of slavery, of
course, but I thought it was only imposed as a
punishment for crime.
"Yes indeed! Creditors want, and are entitled to,
satisfaction under our laws. Many nonCits fall into
slavery every month, while some of the more fortunate
ones manage to earn enough money to qualify for
citizenship. There is both downward and upward
mobility. Being a non-cit is not a condition of birth
but a status one falls into by not being or remaining
productive enough to achieve or maintain citizenship."
I had learned something new, that non-citizens could be
enslaved for debt. Fortunately citizens, myself
included, did not have to worry about that, or so I
thought at that time.
Eventually we got through the gym, went down another
hall to the area she indicated was our department. She
showed me the cubicle that would be mine, and
introduced me to June and Lacy. These two would be my
colleagues in the department.
"I understand you have experience doing general ledger
work through trial balance. That being the case, you
should have no difficulty doing the kind of reports we
usually give to new accountants in this department. To
begin, you will be working with June in the preparation
of a report on receivables for the division head."
With that she left me with June to get started. After
several hours working on the project June suggested
that I might join her and Lacy for lunch.
"We are going to a café called the 'Garden Club' here
in the building where some of the more broadminded
employees have their lunch and enjoy a bit of
entertainment at the same time. So, if you don't have
any serious hang-ups about nudity, why don't you come
with us! I think you will find it quite an experience!"
I agreed to try it and followed them to the center of
the building where we entered a private courtyard with
lush greenery and a fountain and quite a few tables set
out where people were dining. What immediately shocked
me was that, standing next to many of the tables where
patrons sat, there were waiters and waitresses that
were, except for steel collars around their necks,
completely naked!
They all appeared to be physically fit. They were
obviously explaining menu choices and taking orders. We
proceeded to sit down at one of these tables and soon a
male waiter approached. He placed a bowl of fragrant
soapy water on our table and some small cloth napkins.
I wondered what that was for and asked him.
"Since you are new here I will explain. It is 'hygiene
water' which we waitstaff place on each table in case a
patron wishes to touch us. Would each of you young
ladies like to start with a glass of our best house
wine?"
"I'm sorry, I stammered, could you please repeat the
question?" My two companions laughed out loud. June was
in stitches, her shoulders shaking, and her knees
bouncing up and down with her belly laughter! In truth
I hadn't even heard his question because I was totally
preoccupied looking at his penis. It was almost at my
eye level and only a little more than a foot away from
me! It was of impressive size, though flaccid. And it
was circumcised. The glans had a purplish hue. Below it
was a low hanging scrotum containing two very
impressive balls! I made a conscious effort to raise my
glance to meet his glance. Suddenly I became aware that
my face was red as I realized he had noticed where my
eyes had been. We all agreed to his suggestion and he
left us to get the wine. Lacy opened her eyes wide as
she looked at me, taking in my embarrassment, and then
she tossed her hair with a quick flip of her head, as
if to say 'better get used to it, honey!'
As I looked around I noted that female waitresses were
generally waiting on male patrons while males were
waiting on females. Some male patrons were intimately
touching some of the waitresses.
"I know the company can waive the indecency laws on
company property, but how do they even get guys and
gals to do such humiliating jobs?" I asked.
"Simple. Notice the steel collars around all the young
necks! The young college kids you see here waiting
tables have all been enslaved by a court, either as
punishment for a crime or as restitution to a creditor
for debt. They work naked here because their owners
have ordered them to do so! It is intended to be a
humiliating punishment for them as no free person would
volunteer for such work!"
I was well aware of just how strong the taboo in our
society was against a person appearing naked before
members of the opposite sex. So I had no doubt that the
humiliation was very real indeed! I had heard of sex
slavery before, of course, but had never experienced it
so up close and personal!
Just then our well hung waiter returned with our wine.
As he stood next to Lacy to present her a glass, I
noticed that she had placed her hand on his muscular
buttocks and was drawing him in closer. Then, with her
other hand she began playing with his genitals. I was
shocked to see this going on in a restaurant! Presently
he became partially erect and I noticed some pre cum
forming on the tip of his penis!
Lacy seemed satisfied that she had been able to procure
such a reaction and proceeded to wash and dry her hands
using the 'hygiene water' and small towels he had
earlier provided. I thought how humiliating it must be
for him to actually invite such intimate touching by
providing, in advance, the means for a customer who so
indulges to clean herself!
"Why don't you fondle him a bit Stephanie?" Lacy stated
as she finished drying herself.
"I would not feel comfortable doing that. It is not
that I am a prude, or that I wouldn't enjoy it under
other circumstances. But the involuntary nature of his
service would trouble my conscience if I were to
indulge. I don't believe sexual slavery is right or
decent! I think we should not take advantage of
another's misfortune!"
"Well hello 'Miss Holier Than Thou"! Do you think you
are better than June and I?
"Leave her alone Lacy. She just sees things differently
than we do. Perhaps in time she will become comfortable
with sexual slavery, as most people eventually do. Then
she will be able to indulge herself right along with
us!"
After our lunch the three of us returned to our
department, just in time for the weekly staff meeting
called by the division chief. The meeting took place in
the Emerson Library. I was introduced to all present.
After much routine business, the meeting adjourned.
Miss Watson came by to check on how I was settling in
and whether I had any questions about the report June
and I were collaborating on. Soon it was time to go
home for the day.
The next day Miss Watson introduced me to the head of
our department, Tom Jenkins. He was a portly and not
very attractive man. He kept me standing in front of
his desk for some time while he fiddled with various
documents. He kept looking at me out of the corner of
his eye.
"You are to be complimented on your very professional
mode of dress, Miss Glenn. Some of our new female hires
try to impress the male managers by wearing short
skirts to work. I see you have exercised better
judgment than that." His eyes seemed to sweep up and
down my figure. I had the distinct feeling he was
undressing me mentally.
"Thank you sir. I am glad you like my outfit." In truth
I wished he would move on to talk about things other
than my physical appearance. He was beginning to creep
me out.
"I will be leaving for Europe tomorrow. It will be a
month long trip where I will combine business with
pleasure. I trust that you are getting along just fine
with Miss Watson, who will be your interim supervisor."
It was a statement, not a question. After a few more
pleasantries he indicated that our meeting was over. I
was disappointed in his rather curt manner and wondered
just what sort of boss he would prove to be. Still I
was getting on all right with the assistant department
head, so perhaps things would work out anyway.
During the weeks that followed I made steady progress
with my report and gradually gained more confidence as
I learned my way around all the people with whom I
needed to interact. I did experience some discomfort on
learning that Lacy was talking to many of my co-workers
about the incident in the Garden Café. She was
convincing a lot of people that I was a prude because I
would not touch the waiter's genitals! She and June
were no longer inviting me to join them for lunch. I
wasn't comfortable going back to that place where I had
so embarrassed myself, so I started bringing a brown
bag lunch.
Miss Watson eventually assigned me a project that June
thought should have been given to her. June then
started putting it about that I must be sleeping with
one of the male managers to get such a choice
assignment! The corporate atmosphere was becoming
decidedly more hostile to me.
The month was soon up and Tom Jenkins returned from
Europe. If anything, he was more portly than before his
trip. I was really turned off by his appearance. After
a couple of days he called a staff meeting and
announced that Miss Watson would be leaving us
effective immediately. Everyone would be reporting to
him directly. Also he announced that, largely on his
recommendation, the company was starting a new
tradition of casual Fridays. All employees would be
given extra time to make use of the company's gym and
swimming pool on Fridays to maintain physical fitness.
There would be poolside refreshments served every
Friday at mid afternoon. All employees would be
expected to dress casually. Jeans or even shorts would
be acceptable dress.
The first casual Friday I chose some jeans that fit me
loosely and a modest top. Jenkins made some crack about
my "excessive modesty" and suggested I needed to get
more into the spirit of things. He also asked me out
for a date. I declined politely, indicating that I was
currently involved with someone else. I hoped he would
accept this.
Then he began to pick on my work on the slightest
pretext.
When the following Friday rolled around I decided
perhaps it would be harmless to humor him a bit so I
wore short shorts and a sleeveless short halter top as
many of the other women in the department were doing on
Fridays. He seemed very pleased. He made no secret of
the fact that he liked my body. His hands began to
wander where they shouldn't go. He touched my bare
shoulder and traced my collarbone. I pushed his hand
away. He again asked for a date. I felt I needed to put
him down firmly this time so as to discourage any more
attempts. I made it clear to him that there could be no
physical relationship between us since I wasn't
attracted to him in that way.
Around mid morning he called me into his office for a
private conference on my latest report. He instructed
his secretary that there were to be no interruptions,
then closed the door. He motioned for me to sit next to
him on the sofa he kept in his office. I was a bit
uncomfortable with the intimacy of this considering how
scantily I was clothed. He groped one of my breasts. I
slapped his face.
"Keep your hands off my body!" I screamed at him.
"You better watch your attitude, Miss Glenn, if you
want to keep your job!" He said this with a growl.
Not daunted, he began to fondle my left leg. That
really was too much! My legs weren't for the likes of
him. I felt way above him in the sexual pecking order
of things. I needed to defend my status by keeping
those hands off my body. I pushed his hand violently
away from my left leg, then I slapped his face real
hard, forehand and backhand. His pride was clearly
stinging as well as his face.
"That does it bitch! Go pick up your final paycheck!
You don't have a job with this company or any other
company if I can fix it! "
I go directly to Human Resources and file a sexual
harassment claim. Jeff Duncan interviews me about my
harassment claim. Paul Gregory, the company shrink,
also interviews me. I find that I am still fired
despite my claim of harassment. Many weeks go by and it
becomes clear the company will not investigate my
claim.
Chapter 5. Petition for Enslavement
Unemployment took its toll. After approximately three
months of not being able to make a mortgage payment or
pay down any of my credit cards, unpleasant things
began to happen. First, the finance company came and
repossessed my car. I received notice from the bank
that my home faced foreclosure if they did not receive
at least two months payment by the end of the month.
Charges had begun to appear on my credit card statement
for merchandise I had never purchased!
Since I was a little girl, my favourite way to fight
depression was physical activity. Cheerleading and
tennis had done that for me in my high school and
college days. Since then I had continued to play tennis
and as a result, had remained physically fit. It didn't
hurt also that I had competed in the Boston Marathon
again this year, winning second place this time! My
slender and toned body was one of the few things I
could feel good about these days!
My ultimate nightmare began one day last June. I had
just finished a game with Becky, one of my regular
partners. My pulse rate was high. It was a hot day and
I was feeling tired, as I towelled off the excess
perspiration. But I was also exhilarated. I had won two
sets out of three! Just then I saw a man I had never
seen before on the tennis courts. He was a tall and
very muscular fellow dressed in a business suit and
holding a clipboard. He walked directly toward me until
he was only a few feet away.
"Are you Stephanie Glenn of 301 Rosewood Circle?"
"All day long," I responded, somewhat flippantly.
"I am officer Fred Jones, official process server for
the District Court for the State of New York. I am here
to serve you with some legal papers, and I need a
signature from you right here" he said as he thrust the
clipboard at me.
"What if I don't want to sign this?"
"Lady, all your signature means is that you acknowledge
receiving these papers from me. We can do this the easy
way or the hard way. If you don't give us any trouble
it may go smoother for you with the judge."
I made a conscious effort to breathe. With my fingers
starting to tremble, I signed where he indicated, he
gave me my copies, and I saw him walk back to the
parking lot and drive off.
My eyes now began to focus on the document. In bold
type right across the top it said "PETITION FOR
ENSLAVEMENT OF DEBTOR".
Becky had walked up to stand next to me and also saw
that heading.
"Why do they need your help with an enslavement
proceeding, Steph?
"Give me a minute Beck." I had a dawning premonition
about this.
"Is the debtor someone you know?"
My eyes had just landed on the block on the form where
it identified the debtor whose freedom was now placed
in jeopardy. It showed my name and my address. My voice
was starting to choke up and my hands now shook
uncontrollably.
"I am the debtor in question!"
"There must be some mistake! They have you confused
with someone else!"
"There appears no mistake Becky. They have my name and
address on the form, my correct date of birth, my
social security number, my most recent employment, and
a list of debts that appear to be mine. The plaintiff
is some outfit called Richmond SlendaBond Ltd."
"Do you know this company Steph? Did you ever do
business with them or borrow money from them?"
"Not at all. Never heard of them before."
"How can they do this to someone of your class Steph? I
mean I have heard of bankrupt debtors being stripped of
their freedom before, but normally it is only some guy
or gal from the lower class. They don't have all the
same rights we do you know! Surely you can fight this,
can't you?"
"I hope so Beck. I surely hope so. I will try to find a
lawyer first thing tomorrow." I became conscious that
tears were now streaming down my face. I felt that I
was slipping into a state of shock.
Of course, I had no money to pay a lawyer, but I
applied at the Court Clerk's office and the Court
assigned me a Michael Green. I had my first meeting
with him a week later:
"Miss Glenn, you have asked me if, in my professional
opinion, the plaintiff, Richmond SlendaBond Ltd, could
actually take away the freedom of someone of your
educational attainments and social class. While I
cannot predict what the outcome of your particular case
will be, I can tell you that there is a widespread
misconception that it is only lower class debtors who
can be forced into servitude. This is actually not the
case."
"So you are telling me that I actually can be
enslaved?" My heart was pounding.
"Indeed yes" the lawyer continued. There are no
distinctions of class in the law when it comes to
servitude proceedings. Anyone owing more than ten
thousand dollars to a single creditor and unable to pay
can be placed into bondage by the Court or a jury -
male or female, young or old, prince or pauper."
"But you said Richmond SlendaBond Ltd was the plaintiff
in this matter. Why don't they just take my property?"
I wailed. "Why would they want to own me?" He smiled at
me, apparently amused by my naiveté.
"Your lovely body would seem the most obvious reason,
my dear! Those slender, well tanned, and lightly
muscular legs of yours would give any man a desire to
gain complete control of you!
I noticed where his eyes were focussed and I struggled
with little success to pull my short skirt down. I
wanted to give him a piece of my mind for his
impertinence, but realized I had few options but to try
to get along with him. I could afford no other
attorney.
"Who is this Richmond SlendaBond?" I asked
incredulously. "I never borrowed money from them. Why
are they the ones coming after me?"
"They have bought up all your debt from your various
creditors. They are now your only creditor. They are
the parent company of Skelly Girl Enterprises, a
prostitution service that is well known for catering to
business and professional men. Does that answer your
question?" I nodded my head. I again made a conscious
effort to slow down my breathing as the implications of
that sunk in.
"Can you defend me?" I pleaded. "Do I have a chance
against these people?"
"Yes I can defend you" he replied in such a tone that I
could only wait for the other shoe to drop.
"But I must inform you there is a high risk that we
will not prevail. Petitions of this type succeed more
often than not, since the debtor defendant always has
the burden to prove that she or he should not be
enslaved. That requires proving that she or he would be
more of a financial asset to the creditor as a free
person than if forced into involuntary servitude! In
other words we would have to prove that the plaintiff
is pursuing the case out of ignorance or for purely
vindictive reasons. In your case young lady, with no
job and no immediate prospect of one, we probably can't
meet our burden, considered purely as a matter of law.
But there is another way you might save yourself."
"Please sir, just tell me what else I need to do."
"We should ask for a jury trial. There will be 12
jurors. Since your freedom is at stake, they must vote
unanimously, just as would be true for a criminal
case."
"That sounds encouraging!"
"Yes, but you need to keep in mind that the burden of
proof for the plaintiff is much less than in a criminal
proceeding. All he has to do is show that you owe him
more than ten thousand dollars, that you have no
reasonable prospect for paying off that debt in a
timely manner, and that the only way that he can obtain
satisfaction of this debt is by taking possession of
you!"
"You probably will lose your freedom as well as any
personal property you may have. Better get your affairs
in order now!"
"Surely there must be another way to beat this thing?"
"Yes but I hesitate to mention it because of the way
you reacted when I stared at your legs a few moments
ago."
"Whatever do you mean sir?"
"I mean that even if the plaintiff makes a perfectly
adequate proof that he is entitled to take your person,
you can still appeal to the sentiments of the jurors.
They have an absolute right, under the doctrine of jury
nullification, to set you free, regardless of the law
or the evidence against you." It is simply a question
of setting up a situation where they will want to give
you your freedom."
"How do we do that?"
"By having you appear as sympathetic as possible to
them. By having them identify with your fears and care
about what will happen to you. We must make them want
to free you! But this may well entail giving up quite a
bit of your psychological privacy!" I wasn't sure I
liked where this was going.
"Your trial won't be coming up for another two months,
but there is a more immediate matter that we will need
to tackle. A preliminary evidentiary hearing in your
case is scheduled for next week. The purpose of this
hearing will be to determine if the court should bind
you over for trial. The plaintiff need only present
plausible evidence that he is the sole creditor and
that you owe him $10,000 or more. We can try to get the
case tossed at this hearing but it is likely the
plaintiff will prevail."
"What if I am 'bound over' for trial? What does that
mean?"
"First it means we will have to argue for you to remain
free on bail until the trial. Many young men and women
facing the possibility of enslavement do have a
tendency to flee the jurisdiction."
"But I have no money for bail!" By now tears were
rolling down my face.
"I can try to get you freed on your own recognizance.
There is a good chance the judge will go along with
that since you are a professional person of good
character. But then there is the matter of the
"Creditor's Examination".
"What is that?"
"In the old days it meant that a debtor might be
ordered by the court to submit all financial records to
the creditor for his examination, and to give testimony
under oath to the creditor concerning those finances.
Now it means all of that plus the fact that the debtor,
in this type of proceeding, is also ordered to present
himself or herself to the creditor for an intimate
examination of his or her person!"
"Does that mean my b-body?" I had a growing premonition
of utter shame ahead.
"Yes! You will probably find this examination most
humiliating. In addition the plaintiff will make you
testify under oath as to any evidence you have that
might rebut his evidence at trial."
"But why does the law require this?"
"Because the creditor is entitled to make some advance
assessment of what his chances of prevailing at trial
would be and what you would be worth to him should the
enslavement be successful. That could mean what price
you might bring when exhibited naked on the auction
block, for example! This advance assessment is useful
in determining whether he should proceed with the case
and spare no expense, or should perhaps consider
cutting his losses by offering you some sort of long
term payment plan in lieu of enslavement."
"And what about your fee? How much and how can I
possibly afford it?" I practically croaked.
"You can easily afford my basic fee, and if there are
extras we will work something out."
With that we ended our first meeting.
The following week we went before the judge. My
attorney had me sit next to him at counsel table. I got
my first look at the people who were trying to take
away my freedom. When the judge called the case and
asked for identification of the parties, I learned that
the plaintiff's agent was a Bill Steelforth and that
the man with him was the attorney for plaintiff. My
attorney advised me that Mr. Steelforth was the owner
of the William Steelforth Agency, a reputable slaver's
agent.
My attorney was not able to get the case tossed at this
preliminary, and I was bound over for trial on my own
recognizance. The plaintiff asked that I be remanded to
custody pending trial, but the Court ordered, instead,
that I might be free on my own recognizance but must
have an electronic tether device attached to my left
ankle. This would make it easy for authorities to track
me down should I attempt to flee the jurisdiction. I
had never before felt so unfree as when the bailiff
placed that device on my ankle, cinched it tight and
locked it beyond my power to dislodge it. The judge had
told me it was made of hardened steel so that it would
be impossible to cut it off!
The hearing was adjourned. As my lawyer and I walked
down the courthouse steps, he indicated that he had
something on his mind.
"Miss Glenn, have you decided yet whether you will take
the witness stand in your own trial and let me ask you
a whole series of embarrassing questions about your
fears of enslavement?"
He watched my face closely for my response.
"I think probably my answer is going to be no. I just
think it would be too humiliating!"
His face registered his disappointment.
"Then there is something I will need to show you that
may bear on your decision."
He gestured for me to follow him. After a walk of four
blocks we came to a large outdoor arena enclosed by a
wooden plank wall. A very large sign on the wall said
"New York City Municipal Slave Market". We could hear
much raucous shouting, jeers, applause and laughter
coming from inside the arena. There was a smaller sign
over the entrance we were approaching which I could
just make out. It said "Nudity Inside. Only adults who
will not be offended will be admitted here!" There was
someone at the door checking the Ids of younger people
to see if they were 18 or older.
I did not feel too comfortable about entering a place
such as this. But my lawyer was very insistent. As we
entered the enclosure we saw that many people were
crowding up to an elevated stage area. My attorney kept
pulling me forward until the two of us were close to
that sawdust covered stage. There were naked men and
women on that stage wearing iron collars and with
numbers written on their bare buttocks, and on their
foreheads, apparently with a black grease pencil. All
of them had their hands cuffed behind their backs and
were wearing leg irons.
One in particular, a man, was standing on a raised
block above stage level. In spite of my horror at the
overall scene, I could not help but notice that he was
a gorgeous guy, perhaps 30 years or so in age. He was
slender of build, and very well muscled. I noted his
broad shoulders and well developed pectoral muscles and
biceps. My eyes travelled down to his groin. He was
circumcised. I noted his very long and moderately thick
penis, and his impressive low hanging testicles.
"Do I hear twenty two thousand?" a man I took to be the
auctioneer called out in a loud voice.
"Twenty two thousand, five hundred!" A feminine voice
in the crowd answered.
"Do I hear twenty five thousand for this great specimen
of masculinity?" The auctioneer cried.
"Let us see if his stuff works first!" Someone in the
first row cried. Other people called out "hear, hear"
to that.
The auctioneer signaled to his assistant, a young and
attractive woman. She came forward wearing black
leather gloves and a tight fitting black leather outfit
that left her arms, legs and midriff bare. She was
tanned, had a very flat abdomen and looked like she
worked out regularly. She used the tip of a riding crop
to lift the slave's penis and to flick it this way and
that. But it remained flaccid. The auctioneer gave a
second signal to his assistant. With that she went
behind the slave and began to slice at his buttocks
with her crop. The crowd could see the man wince with
each stroke.
"How cruel that is!" I remarked to my attorney.
"Not as cruel as it looks. They are administering a
fairly mild form of discipline because he is being
rebellious in not showing the crowd his erection. He
has committed the sin of pride. That is not permitted
to slaves. She is not striking hard enough to cut him
or leave welts. She is striking him because he is a
masochist and the gentle whip strokes will arouse him
in time, however much he might prefer not to show the
crowd his erection!"
I soon observed the truth of these remarks with my own
eyes! That penis was growing stiff and pointing
straight out toward the crowd! The crowd loudly
cheered. The auctioneer's assistant then came around in
front of him again and flicked that penis left and
right using the tip of her crop. This made it plain to
the crowd how hard the slave had become.
"Let us see him climax!" Someone in the third row
shouted, and others shouted their agreement.
The auctioneer nodded to his assistant. She took her
gloves off and began to gently touch his genitals. He
looked mortified. She cradled his ball sack with one
hand, then put lubricant on her other hand and began to
stroke his penis. Soon she was rewarded with a few
drops of pre cum, which only those in the front row
could see. After a few more minutes he began to shoot
copious strings of semen that fell on the sawdust
floor. His face was red, and his humiliation was
complete! The crowd roared its approval! The
auctioneer's assistant smiled, took a bow and retreated
to the back of the stage!
I felt my nipples grow hard and my vulva grow moist!
"Do I hear thirty thousand?" The auctioneer called out.
"Forty thousand!" Shouted an attractive young woman in
the third row.
"Forty two thousand!" Shouted a matronly lady in the
second row that I took to be about 45 years old. The
young woman in the third row looked crestfallen.
Clearly her limit had been reached.
"Going once! Going twice!" The auctioneer banged his
gavel. "Sold to the lady in the second row!"
Two guards stepped forward and marched the slave to a
holding pen on one side of the stage where sold slaves
were kept until their new owners could claims them. The
auctioneer then called for the next slave to be
auctioned. It was a very attractive young woman who was
trembling with fear. I did not want to stay and watch
her humiliation.
My lawyer looked intently at me. I was embarrassed. I
worried that he could see right through me. I felt that
he might perceive that I had been sexually aroused by
what I had seen.
"Do you understand why I brought you to this place?"
"To teach me what slavery is?" I said with some
uncertainty.
"Quite right. I hope that it has occurred to you that,
if we lose your trial, it could well be you standing on
that stage in a few more months! It could be you who
has to entertain that crowd with your sexual responses
to an auctioneer's crop while men bid for the right to
own your body!"
"Wh-What do you w-want from me?" I stammered.
"I want you to agree to take the stand and let first me
and then opposing counsel question you in detail about
your most secret thoughts and feelings about
enslavement! My goal is for us not to lose that trial
and expose you to the kind of humiliation you saw here
today. After all, what is a little mental privacy
sacrificed in the defense of your freedom?"
He looked me straight in the eyes.
"Let me think about it. When do I have to decide?"
"You can make that decision at your trial. I will ask
you then and the judge will ask you."
We parted and I did not hear further from him for some
weeks.
Three weeks after that I received an "Order for
Creditor's Examination" signed by the judge, directing
me to present myself on a date certain, together with
any financial records, at the offices of the William
Steelforth Agency. The Order also stated "the female
defendant is ordered, in preparation for this
examination, to shave off excess pubic hair around her
genitals in accordance with the enclosed diagram."
Clearly the plaintiff had petitioned the court in such
a way that I was not permitted to shave myself
completely but must leave some pubic hair that would
adorn but not conceal my sex. I cried and cried at the
implications of this. My attorney agreed to accompany
me for this exam.
On the appointed day, my lawyer and I went to the
agency where Mr. Steelforth courteously escorted us
into a large conference room and we were soon joined by
plaintiff's counsel and a court reporter. I was
required to take an oath to tell the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. At first they asked to see my
financial records and they asked me some questions
about my finances. They then asked what defenses I
planned on making to their suit and to present any
evidence that I had in support of such defenses. It was
all part of the "discovery process" as my lawyer
explained.
Then the moment I was dreading arrived. I was asked to
undress completely and submit to a physical examination
by Mr. Steelforth. I did not want to undress for this
man who was trying to take my freedom away. I also felt
embarrassed at the idea of my own lawyer seeing me
naked. And I had no doubt these men would see plenty
because of my court ordered pubic haircut! I began
removing my clothes and folding each item neatly on the
conference room table. It seemed strange to be
undressing in a conference room rather than in a
doctor's office. And in front of a rather handsome
businessman in a three piece suit. The hardest part was
when I had to
push my panties down in front of this man, step out of
them and place them on the pile with my other clothes.
Mr. Steelforth then had me turn this way and that, and
assume various attitudes and positions, so that he
might assess my 'auction appeal'. I felt the palms of
his hands and his fingertips touching various parts of
my body. I was about to object but my lawyer gave me a
warning look. Then he undid the clasp that was holding
my hair in a ponytail and he ran his fingers through my
hair, apparently enjoying its silkiness. I was then
asked to open my mouth wide while he shined a
flashlight inside my mouth and tested the soundness of
my teeth with his fingers. At one point he used his
fingers to lift my tongue so that he might see
underneath it. After a time he asked me to stand on a
small pedestal with my legs well separated and he
pulled up a stool and sat with his face directly in
front of my crotch! With his thumb and index finger he
then began touching my labia and pulled them apart to
see that which they normally concealed. I knew that he
could then see every detail of my vulva! I felt my face
and breasts flushing with my humiliation. And whether I
liked it or not my nipples had become quite erect from
all this stimulation.
He then brought out a diagram of what he called "a
generic vulva". He began comparing my vulva to the
generic one and making notes on the differences and
measuring the overall length of my slit and the length
of my clitoral hood and recording these measurements! I
was fully displaying my most private female parts to
this man, and to the others present in this room! I
could sense the eyes of each person in the room focused
upon my crotch! I started to cry! Tears streamed down
my face at the irretrievable loss of my genital
modesty. They had all seen my most intimate and sexual
parts displayed for their edification!
Of course he did not miss the opportunity to go behind
me, order me to bend forward while he spread my
buttocks apart, peered at my anus for awhile, no doubt
also enjoying the rear view of my vulva.
Just when I thought things could not possibly be any
more humiliating, I was told that I must masturbate for
Mr. Steelforth's further edification. I shot an
appealing glance at my lawyer, begging him with my eyes
to object to this latest outrage. His hard look told me
I must go along with the program. So masturbate I did!
I was required to do this on the conference room table
where everyone could have a good view!
I thought at first that I could get away with just
going through the motions and fake my climax. But Mr.
Steelforth had been in the business of examining slaves
and potential slaves for many years and he said he
could always tell when a young woman was faking.
Finally I gave up all pretence and masturbated for real
bringing myself to a real climax. They all saw it and
the aroma of my sexual secretions filled the room. I
wanted to sink through the floor!
Finally Mr. Steelforth gave me permission to put my
panties back on. It was only then I learned that he had
videotaped my masturbatory performance for the
edification of his ultimate client, a person or
organization as yet unknown to me!
While I sat there bare breasted and with only panties
on, he asked me a series of embarrassing questions
about how often I masturbated, how old I was when first
I masturbated, what sorts of things I thought about
while masturbating, and on and on. Because I had taken
an oath at the beginning to tell the truth, my lawyer
advised that I would have to answer each and every one
of these questions.
Finally Mr. Steelforth seemed satisfied and gave me
permission to put the rest of my clothes on. The
meeting was concluded. As I walked out of this building
with my lawyer I felt two feet tall in my shame. I also
felt very angry at how I had been treated like an
object for this man’s amusement.
Chapter 6. The Trial
My attorney called me one day to advise that we would
have no choice but to proceed to trial. No out of court
settlement was possible and the client had instructed
the Steelforth Agency to proceed and to spare no
expense to bring this matter to a "successful
conclusion"!
I was informed that my jury trial would be entirely
public. Spectators would be permitted in the courtroom,
and the trial might also be televised. The news media
had managed to get some pictures of me in my tennis
whites - short shorts and a tube top with my midriff
bare. These photos were published along with notice of
the proceeding against me. Some of the news stories
were indicating that the trial might prove quite
humiliating for me. As a result there were more
potential spectators than the courtroom could
accommodate. The bailiff let them come in a first come
first serve basis. Then he informed those who had not
gotten in that they might watch the trial on closed
circuit TV in the lounge down the hall.
Most of the spectators were male, but there were also
some women I had managed to antagonize from my former
place of employment who seemed to take a particular
delight in my present predicament. I felt my chest
tighten up when I noticed Mr. Steelforth, who had taken
such liberties with my body during the "Creditor's
Examination, sitting at the plaintiff's table along
with the plaintiff's counsel.
Then I saw something that chilled my blood. Mr.
Jenkins, my former employer, was right there in the
third row! His presence here today was particularly
hard to take since he had been the one who had caused
me to be in this position by sexually harassing me,
firing me, and then blacklisting me so that I could
find no other work. Evidently he had come to gloat. I
felt that he and the others were ogling me. My lawyer
asked me if I had any impressions concerning the
spectators.
"I think the women here mostly would like to see me
taken down a peg or two, and the men mostly want to
gawk at me and imagine what it would be like to get
into my pants! " My lawyer just laughed and indicated
that was his impression also.
After the "All Rise" and the entry of the learned Judge
Alfred P. Morelock, the trial was underway. The judge
proceeded with his ominous address.
"The Third District Court of the State of New York is
now in session. We are here today on the matter of an
enslavement petition filed by the corporation known as
Richmond SlendaBond Enterprises against an alleged
debtor identified in the petition as Stephanie Glenn.
At this time counsel for the opposing parties will
identify themselves for the record."
"Roger Vandenberg for the plaintiff, your honor."
"Michael Green for the defendant, your honor."
"Before proceeding further I want to be sure that the
defendant is present. Please stand and identify
yourself for the record."
I stood and gave my name and address. As I did so I
noticed one of the TV cameras turn toward me and then
saw a close-up of me on the big screen. A hushed murmur
could be heard from the gallery. I remained standing.
"You may sit down, Miss Glenn. The Court will allow
questioning and dismissal for cause of any juror who is
morally opposed to our enslavement laws."
The court proceeded to empanel a jury. Far more women
than men objected to the morality of enslavement. In
the end I found that my jury was to consist of nine men
and three women.
"Counsel for plaintiff and defendant being present, the
jury having been sworn in and all interested parties
being present, let us proceed."
Plaintiff's counsel made his opening statement.
"We will show that this defendant is insolvent, that
she owes the plaintiff more than ten thousand dollars
and that plaintiff is now her sole creditor. We will
further show that she has stated, by affidavit, at the
time of her Creditor's Examination, that she is
unemployed and has no immediate or foreseeable
prospects for obtaining gainful employment. We will
also show that we have done a Family Impact Study, as
required by law, to establish that she has neither a
spouse, nor children, nor an aging parent whose welfare
may depend on her remaining free. Finally we will show
that she has far more value to plaintiff as human
property than she would ever be likely to have if she
remained free."
The plaintiff's counsel now began to set forth his case
in chief First he called Morgan Richmond.
"Mr. Richmond, you are the President of Richmond
SlendaBond Ltd. Is that correct?"
"Yes."
"Mr. Richmond, could you please tell the Court what is
the nature of your company's business?"
"When the indenture and enslavement laws were passed, I
determined that it could be quite profitable to acquire
insolvent debtors and market them to other interested
parties. I then started a firm to bring about the
enslavement of certain debtors through legal process.
We accomplish that with the help of firms that do the
scouting and legwork for us, such as the Steelforth
Agency. We first buy up all of the target's debt, and
when we are successful with our legal action, we
actually take title to the human property, train that
property to the appropriate level of slave skills and
obedience, and then sell. Of course, we try to buy low
and sell high to make a profit."
"Does your firm deal only in female slaves?"
"No indeed. We are an equal opportunity enslaver."
"Please tell us why you named the firm 'Richmond
SlendaBond', if you would sir?"
"I chose that name because we decided to specialize in
introducing only slender debtors to a life of bondage.
That was partly a matter of my own tastes and
preferences, but also because I felt that was a market
niche that could be quite profitable for us."
"Thank you Mr. Richmond. Your witness." My attorney
stood to begin the cross-examination.
"Mr. Richmond, since you have stated you enslave only
slender debtors, would it be correct to conclude that
the uses to which your slaves are put are primarily
sexual in nature?"
"That is correct."
"Will you tell us then how you market the sexuality of
your slaves?"
"We have a subsidiary enterprise called 'Skelly Girls'.
It is a nationwide prostitution service catering to
businessmen. But not all our slaves are marketed in
that fashion. We also cater to the desires of wealthy
individuals who wish to purchase a slave outright from
us, or to lease one for a period of years, perhaps to
serve as a domestic servant with sexual duties also
included."
"Would it be your intention Mr. Richmond, if you are
successful in this proceeding, to use the defendant in
your nationwide prostitution service? Or lease her to a
private client?"
"Objection, your Honor! Mr. Richmond is under no
obligation to state what his intentions are for Miss
Glenn!" The plaintiff's attorney had risen to his feet.
"Objection sustained!"
"And what about yourself sir? Do you personally make
sexual use of your own slaves? Would you personally
rape Miss Glenn?"
"Objection, your honor! Mr. Richmond's personal sex
life is not relevant to this proceeding!"
"Objection sustained! Move on counsellor!"
"I have no more questions for this witness your honor".
The witness stepped down.
Next there was a rather dry presentation of documents
showing that I owed to the Plaintiff more than ten
thousand dollars and other documents showing that my
meagre assets were nowhere near sufficient to satisfy
these debts. Various witnesses were called from the
accounting department of Richmond SlendaBond to
authenticate each of these documents, and each, in
turn, was entered into evidence against me. My lawyer
had tried, on cross examination, to trip up some of
these witnesses and get some of the documents excluded,
but was not successful in this. He and I were both of
the belief that some of the alleged debts had been
fabricated.
Plaintiff's counsel then called Mr. Steelforth to the
witness box and he was duly sworn in prior to beginning
his testimony.
"You are the managing partner of the William Steelforth
Agency, is that correct?"
"I am."
"Could you explain briefly what is the nature of your
business sir?"
"Our role is to represent the interests of clients,
such as Richmond SlendaBond, who wish to achieve
satisfaction of debts owed them by debtors who are
unable to pay in money. We do this by enslaving the
debtor, through lawful process, so that the creditor
may sell him or her at auction, or make such other use
of the slave as he may see fit. This always involves
researching the candidate to see if he or she is
enslavable, then hiring legal counsel, and marshalling
all the necessary documents and witnesses needed to
secure a successful outcome. We sometimes act as
'talent scouts', seeking out debtors in a given city
who owe money to our clients. On other occasions we are
commissioned to bring about the enslavement of a
particular person desired by our client."
"Which was the case with this defendant, Mr.
Steelforth?"
"We were specifically commissioned by a client desiring
to own Miss Glenn."
"Did you or your firm follow all the prescribed legal
procedures to determine Miss Glenn's assets, debts,
present employment status, prospects for employment,
and ability to enter into a payment plan that would
discharge her debt in three years or less?"
"We did carry out a Creditor's Examination to that end.
We determined that her assets were wholly insufficient,
that we were the sole creditor having purchased all her
other debts, that she is unemployed, and has no ability
to enter into a legally sufficient payment plan."
"For the record sir, and under oath, did your firm do
the legally required Family Impact Study?"
"We did that as part of the Creditor's Exam. Miss Glenn
advised us under oath that she is unmarried, has no
children or any other person dependant on her personal
care or financial support." Mr. Vandenberg seemed
satisfied with this response and turned to the judge.
"At this time, your honor, we wish to introduce two
affidavits signed by Miss Glenn on the above points and
call her as a witness to authenticate them."
"Defense will stipulate to admission of the affidavits.
No need to call her as a witness." Mr. Vandenburg then
continued his examination of his own witness.
"Mr. Steelforth, do you believe Miss Glenn has far more
value to your client as human property than she could
ever have if allowed to remain free?"
"Yes, I do."
"Can you support that belief with objective evidence?"
"During the Creditor's Exam I did personally examine
Miss Glenn's naked person. I found her to be incredibly
attractive. I also touched her intimately and found her
to be highly responsive in a sexual way. I know from
years of experience in the industry that her beauty and
her sexual sensitivity are qualities that would be much
in demand by licensed prostitution services. Male
clients will pay very well to have sex with a woman
like Miss Glenn. She could earn a considerable amount
of money for my client in a relatively short period of
time."
"But Mr. Steelforth, if all that you say is true, does
it not also follow that she could earn that same
considerable amount of money as an independent
prostitute, while remaining free?"
"In my experience it does not work that way. In the
first place Miss Glenn has adamantly maintained that
she would never willingly become a prostitute. If she
were enslaved, that choice would no longer be hers to
make. Also it is quite well known in the prostitution
industry that male clients will pay much higher fees to
have sex with an indentured or enslaved prostitute, as
opposed to a free one. Therefore her earning potential,
and ability to repay her debt, could never be as high
if she were allowed to remain free."
"Thank you Mr. Steelforth. I have no more questions for
this witness."
The judge then turned to my lawyer.
"Does defense counsel wish to cross examine this
witness?"
"No, your Honor. Not at this time. But we would like to
reserve the right to recall him later."
"Your Honor, the plaintiff rests his case."
The judge declared the plaintiff had made a prima facie
case that he should be allowed to take my person in
satisfaction of a considerable debt. Now it would be up
to my own attorney to dispute the validity of some of
the alleged debts, or to convince the jury that I would
be worth more to the Plaintiff if left free than if
enslaved. Failing that, to appeal to the jurors to
ignore the law and set a beautiful woman free. To do
that he would have to persuade the jurors to become
very interested in knowing me, perhaps on a very
intimate basis.
At that point the judge, noting the time, declared that
the Court would be in recess until 2 pm.
***
Promptly at 2 pm the judge banged the Court back into
session. The bailiffs had allowed even more spectators
in so that it was standing room only.
"This Court is now back in session in the matter of
Richmond Slendabond Enterprises v. Glenn.
My lawyer rose to address the court.
"If it please the Court, defense will proceed at this
time."
"Proceed."
"The defendant has agreed to present to the jury as
much of her person as possible, that they may better
judge her character and sympathize with her in her
desire to maintain her freedom. She will testify in her
own defense and we will present much information
relative to her psychological nature and concerning the
reasons for her fear of enslavement. We will call
character witnesses as well."
"We will show that Miss Glenn is not insolvent, and
that some of her alleged debts have been fabricated in
order to reach the statutory amount of ten thousand
dollars. We will show that, when the fabricated debts
are eliminated that my client's actual debts do not
exceed seven thousand dollars. While we admit that my
client is presently unemployed, we will show that she
is highly trained as an accountant and that she does
have real prospects for employment in her field within
the coming year. Finally we will show that, in the
event Miss Glenn does not secure professional
employment within the coming year, she would be willing
to accept employment in the adult entertainment
industry, perhaps as a nude dancer at private parties,
where she could earn more money and discharge her debt
more quickly than if she were 'human property' as
plaintiff desires."
My lawyer then proceeded to introduce documents
apparently showing that my debts were much less than
had been claimed by the plaintiff. He called some
witnesses to authenticate these documents.
Then he called two witnesses that were in the head
hunting business. They both testified that a person of
my education and skills should have no great difficulty
finding employment in the accounting profession, once
the current recession was over.
Next my attorney called me to testify. I was sworn in
and climbed up on the witness platform.
I experienced acute embarrassment! I saw that some of
my colleagues, both male and female, from my old job at
Masterson Automotive were here watching me in my shame.
I saw Tom Jenkins in the third row staring at my red
face and gloating in my humiliation. He, more than any
one person, was responsible for me being in this
predicament! All because I had double slapped him for
fondling my leg. There was June who had once accused me
of sleeping with Tom to get a choice assignment! There
was Lacy who had spread rumours all over the company
that I was a prude because I felt it was morally wrong
to touch the genitals of our indentured waiter! There
was Jeff Duncan from Human Resources! All these people
seemed to be immensely enjoying my humiliation!
I was sure my face was red as a beet!
My lawyer began my direct examination.
"Your legal name is Stephanie Glenn, is that correct?"
"That's right." I mumbled in a dying voice.
"You will need to speak up so all can hear you. State
your name loud and clear."
"I am Stephanie Glenn". I said, forcing myself to get
the words out.
"And do you live at 301 Rosewood Circle, in the town of
New Rochelle, State of New York?"
"I do."
"Miss Glenn, I need you to tell us all if you fear
enslavement, and if so why."
"Yes sir, I do. I highly value my freedom and I think
it would be terrifying to lose that. I also have the
fear that, as a slave, I would be forced to do things,
sexual things, that would go against my principles. I
fear that I might experience so much unrelenting
humiliation, on a day to day basis, that I might lose
the will to live."
"Miss Glenn, do you believe, if the jury lets you keep
your freedom, that you could find a way to repay your
debts?"
"I do. I am quite marketable as an accountant once the
present recession is over."
"But what if that doesn't happen? Then what?"
"I am prepared to do what I must as a free Citizen, to
repay my debts. If it means I have to accept employment
in the sex industry to do that, I will swallow my pride
and do such work!"
"Give us some examples of what kinds of employment you
might accept."
"There are many private clubs where men go to watch
naked women dance. I would be willing to be such a
dancer if I can find no other work. There are also
opportunities to work as a nude dancer at private
parties. If all else failed, I would even consider
making soft porn films."
"What about prostitution?"
"No! I would not do that! It is against everything I
believe in."
"But if these jurors decide you should be enslaved, you
could be forced to prostitute yourself. You could be
forced to have sex with any man who could pay your fee.
Isn't that so?"
"Yes, I am afraid so. That is why I fear enslavement so
much!"
"I have no more questions for this witness, your Honor.
Your witness." He said turning to plaintiff's counsel.
"Miss Glenn, I have a question for you. You have said
that you would never prostitute yourself because it is
against your principles. Isn't it also against your
principles to default on your debts?"
"Yes sir that is true."
"Yet you would not do everything possible to repay your
debts if your other plans for earning money did not
work out. In other words you would rather violate the
legitimate rights of your creditors to expect repayment
of debt, before you would violate your own notions of
propriety when it comes to having sex with strangers
for money?"
"Yes sir that is true."
"I have no more questions for this witness."
The judge looked at me.
"You may step down from the witness platform, young
lady. "
The lawyers for the two sides proceeded to make their
closing summations. Then the judge gave the jury
instructions on the law as it applied to this case.
With that the trial was over.
Chapter 7. These Legs Are Made For Running
My attorney and I were passing the time in the
courthouse lounge. I wanted a cup of coffee but I was
too wired and nervous already! It had been over two
hours since the jury had retired to choose a foreman
and begin deliberations. I asked my lawyer what it
would mean for my chances if the jury returned a quick
verdict or took a much longer time.
He explained to me that if things dragged on too long,
that meant the jury was probably deadlocked. That, in
turn, could lead to a compromise verdict where they
would convict me of the lesser charge, so that I would
be indentured for ten years to SlendaBond instead of
becoming their outright slave for life. He said my best
chance for keeping my freedom intact would be if they
returned a quick verdict.
When it was three hours, the judge called us all back
in and announced that court would be in recess until
tomorrow when jury deliberations would continue.
That night in my condo I was so scared I couldn't
sleep! My heart was pounding! My breathing was labored!
The muscles of my torso and shoulders were very tense.
What if they did enslave me? If it was going to happen
it would probably happen tomorrow. It would be an
unthinkable and intolerable calamity! I simply could
not stand being enslaved! It would go against
everything in my nature to be stripped of my freedom
and dignity in that way!
Worst of all would be the forced sex that would be sure
to follow! I simply could not stand that! So many women
were being forced into prostitution these days that
prices paid by the johns were very low. The very idea
that I might be made into a public whore- that every
Tom, Dick and Harry with $20.00 to spare on payday
could stick his dick into me! How could I live with
that? Or maybe I would be made into a private
prostitute to service exclusively the needs of some
rich bastard! Some obese pot bellied son-of-a-bitch who
could diddle my clitoris whenever or wherever he chose!
How could I live with that?
I was wearing short shorts. I looked down at my legs.
They were beautiful legs! Too pretty to be pawed by
strange men I hated! Swift legs! Runner's legs! They
had carried me to a second place finish in the Boston
Marathon last year! I thought of that old Nancy Sinatra
hit "These Boots Are Made for Walking". Well just maybe
'These legs Are Made For Running'! Maybe these legs
could save my life - so to speak!
What to do? Was escape my best answer? I knew this
would be hard. I was wearing an electronic ankle
bracelet. Escaping slaves were nearly always caught,
and usually faced severe punishment and public
humiliation for the attempt.
The ankle bracelet was made of hardened steel. The
judge had said it could not be cut off. Yet the ankle
bracelet's lock could be picked open surely? I just
needed to find someone with the rights skills and
tools. Then what? Where would I go? How would I live?
If I made one mistake they would have me back in their
clutches in no time. For all these difficulties it
seemed to me that a life on the run would be infinitely
superior to being stripped of my freedom and dignity
and becoming someone's sex toy!
I would need identity documents under a fictitious name
to survive. Who could help with that? I would have to
concoct a fictitious resume to get hired somewhere. No
one would hire me if they knew I was a fugitive.
One step at a time! There was Tom Murphy. He was a
locksmith and he and I had often played tennis. Usually
I beat him. He had come on to me a couple of times and
I had turned him down. Clearly he had the hots for me!
Maybe I would have to sleep with Tom to make it worth
his while to help me? But what if Tom turned me in
instead of helping me? I would have to take that
chance, but there was something I could do to improve
the odds. I got the small stun gun out of my night
table drawer and slipped it in my purse.
Then I called Tom. I pleaded with him for his help. I
told him I was in a real jam, without saying that I
intended to run from the court. I did not want to say
too much on the phone. I hoped he hadn't heard anything
about my case and had no reason to suspect my true
purpose. I just told him I had a job of lock picking
and asked if he could meet me at an address in lower
Manhattan. He said he would.
I scooped up what cash I had in the condo, some candy
bars, a change of clothing and my prescription meds. An
hour later I was meeting him at the address I had
given, one that I knew to be an abandoned building. I
had taken the subway there.
"Hi Tom!"
"What's up Steph? Why this meeting in the middle of the
night at an abandoned building?"
"Tom, you must promise to keep my secret! I am in
trouble with the law. I am probably going to be
enslaved tomorrow unless I can skip town, but first I
have to get this damned ankle bracelet off me so I
can't be traced!"
"Oh I don't know Stephanie. I could be in a world of
trouble if you were caught and they found out I had
helped you escape!"
"Do you know how much trouble I could be in without
your help tomorrow? I could well be human livestock,
someone's property! Do you think I could ever stand
that?"
"Knowing you, I doubt that you could!"
"Then help me PLEASE! If I am caught I will never
betray you. I will never let them know you were the one
who got the bracelet off me! Besides I will make it
worth your while!"
"How will you do that Steph?"
"What do you want Tom? A blow job?"
"I would want more than that Steph! I always wanted to
get into your pants! That is my price now!"
"OK, OK, already! If that is what you want, that is
what you shall have! Now please help. I don't have a
lot of time left before morning to make my getaway!"
"Put your foot up on that block. I want to examine the
bracelet"
I did so and he examined my bracelet ankle and leg for
some time. His hands began to play with my left calf
and feel the muscle there and the under knee tendons.
He kissed my knee. He caressed my left thigh. I was
hardly in a position to object to anything he wanted to
do!
"Can't you just pick the lock?"
"Opening the lock, or even attempting to open the lock,
would immediately transmit a signal to police that the
lock had been tampered with! It would also report our
exact location to police!"
"Is there no hope then?"
"The bracelet is hardened steel. But I could cut it off
with my diamond bit power drill. That would not cause
any alarm signal to go to police."
"Fine. Do it then."
"Not until I have been paid, sexually speaking!"
I nodded my agreement and we found a way into the
abandoned building. Tom brought a blanket from his
truck to lay down on the floor. We fucked until Tom had
climaxed. Then he agreed to get on with the job. He
went to get tools from his truck. Twenty minutes later
he had cut clear through the bracelet in two places so
that the two halves could be separated.
Tom saw a small stray dog nearby. He got some meat out
of the truck and used it to tempt the animal to within
capture distance. He wrapped a piece of cloth around
the dog's belly and used that, in turn, to attach the
two halves of the bracelet. He told me as long as the
GPS sensors keep picking up a moving signal from the
bracelet there would be no alarm to alert police that
the bracelet was no longer on me.
"Steph, there is an organization here in New York City
called the 'Underground'. They are some very courageous
volunteers who take huge risks to help people escape
slavery. I know a guy who would know how to contact
them. They can help you. Would you like me to call?"
"Sure Tom. That might solve a lot of problems I thought
I would have to solve all by myself!"
Tom left me for a few minutes and called his friend
from the truck. When he came back he said a
representative of the 'Underground' would meet me in
the heart of Greenwich Village in one half hour. He
named an intersection that was 10 blocks from our
warehouse location. He said I would have to walk there
by myself. Everything was on a 'need to know' basis
with this group. They wanted me at the meeting place,
not Tom and me together.
"Steph, these clothes that you are wearing - were they
purchased with a credit card?
"Very likely, Tom. I don't like to carry large amounts
of cash when I shop, so I use the card."
He went out to his truck and returned a few minutes
later with an old shirt.
"You will need to take off all your clothes and put on
this old shirt instead. All clothing these days
contains RFID threads that can be picked up by
government or business scanners. The thread scanners
can identify precisely what the article of clothing is,
who manufactured it, what retailer sold it on what
date. If you used a credit card to buy these articles
then the scanner will also have your identity linked to
each of these items of clothing!"
I did as he said. I found the shirt a couple sizes too
big for me, but at least it came down to mid thigh on
me so it protected my modesty. Tom and I parted and I
began the walk of 10 blocks. I was scared as some of
the blocks I had to walk down were poorly lit and
sometimes frequented by a rough element. Also it was a
bit windy and I had to struggle to keep Tom's shirt
from blowing up and revealing too much of me!
Soon I was in Greenwich Village standing on the corner
where I was supposed to wait. It seemed like an hour
but was probably only ten minutes before a young man
asked me for directions to the theatre district. As he
came closer he was soon whispering to me to just stay
put for a couple minutes, then follow him down a subway
entrance. I did so and soon I was following him into a
subway car. We rode it for several stops, then he
signaled me to exit the car with him. When we reached
the street there was a car waiting. We got in and I was
immediately blindfolded and the car drove around for a
while. Finally we got out and he guided me into the
front entrance of a building. Only then did the
blindfold come off. He rang a bell and drove off,
leaving me to wait for someone to answer the bell.
I had no idea where we were, but I soon learned we were
at the 'safe house' maintained by the 'Underground' in
lower Manhattan.
A matronly woman in her forties opened the door and
ushered me inside where I also met an athletic man
about her age and a nerdy looking young man about my
own age.
"You may call me Jan, the older man John and this young
man Jeff," the woman said, "although these are
obviously not our real names. We will be the team that
will help you alter your appearance, give you a paper
and electronic identity, a past to go with that and
equip you with necessary knowledge of computer security
systems. Our team goal is not to have you live here but
to prepare you for a new life a long distance from New
York City. We plan to put you on the 6 am mag-lev train
out of Grand Central tomorrow morning, westbound for
Chicago. My own role is the appearance stuff. We can't
have you looking like the "Wanted" poster the police
will post in the next few days, now can we?"
"No, I guess not" I replied. Inwardly I breathed a sigh
of relief. I felt these people knew the ropes and were
going to solve a lot of problems for me that I thought
I was going to have to work out alone. They would help
me avoid all the pitfalls that could cost me my
freedom.
"Why don't I do my magic first? " she said as she led
me to a different part of the house.
"Let us see what we can do with those eyes first". As
Jan said this she reached for a pair of contact lenses
and had me try them on.
The contacts fitted perfectly and changed my eye color
from brown to blue. She added a false nose, did a
makeup job, had me color my red hair blonde, and
provided me with two sets of clothing. She then took a
typical head and shoulders photo of me suitable for a
driver's license photo.
The second member of my team, John, then worked with me
first on choosing a name. He showed me a short list of
possibilities.
"I think I would like to be Rebecca Stevens," I told
him.
"We can arrange that," he replied, "but it is also
important that we create a past for you to go with that
name. You will need to be able to tell people where you
grew up, how many brothers and sisters you had, what
high school you attended, what jobs you have had, and
so forth."
"Couldn't we just give me enough paperwork for me to
flee to Canada or to one of the southern states that is
still part of the old United States? After all, they
don't have slavery there so I would be safe, right?"
"Not quite so fast young lady. It is true they don't
have slavery there, but they do have extradition
treaties with Capitallia. If you were matched to
Capitallia's 'Wanted Persons' list, you would be sent
back! Since the precautions you would have to take to
protect your new identity would be just as great in
those countries, you might as well hide in your own
country."
"Ok, I get it!" I sighed, realizing the enormity of the
task ahead of me.
Then he worked for many hours with me creating the
details of my past. He drilled me on these details
until he was satisfied I knew them cold. He proceeded
to create the paper documents I would need including a
driver's license, a social security card, photos of my
supposed family members, of a boyfriend I supposedly
had back in my hometown and two alternative resumes.
.
The third member of my team, Jeff, then indicated I was
to follow him into the computer lab in the basement of
the house.
"Rebecca, and I may as well start calling you by your
new name, my job is to tutor you in what you need to
know about electronic identification of persons in our
society. You wouldn't want to be picked up by police
because you walked by the wrong scanner would you?"
"No way!" I was beginning to feel like it was all going
to be just too much knowledge for me to master. I had
never been a top student in high school math or science
and had never taken a computer course.
"Good. Then let us get started. All clothing
manufactured in the last 50 plus years in Capitallia
contains special RFID tags or threads. Other common
objects people usually carry on their persons may also
contain these tags."
"What does RFID stand for?" I asked.
"Radio Frequency Identification." Jeff continued, "When
you pass by the right kind of scanner, radio frequency
waves are sent out by the scanner which can read
information from these threads."
"That must be what Tom meant - why he made me put on
his old shirt instead of the clothes I was wearing?"
"That's right. You were lucky to have a friend that
knew about this stuff helping you before you came to
us." I breathed a sign of relief hearing this.
"When clothing is manufactured a tag or thread is
inserted somewhere in the fabric that uniquely
identifies that particular article of clothing.
Something like a serial number. Shows who the
manufacturer was, date of manufacture, etc. The
identifier would not be the same for any two pieces of
the same type of clothing even from the same
manufacturer."
"How does that identify a person?"
"When you or I walk into a retail store and buy an
article of clothing with a credit card, or perhaps a
whole shopping cart of articles on one purchase, the
store's computer creates an account for us with our
name and address and other personal data pulled from
the credit card account. It then reads the RFID tag of
each article we are buying as the cashier scans them
for price and attaches those "serial numbers," if you
will, to our personal account in a process called
"imprinting". The next time you or I visit that store,
as we walk in the front door we pass by a scanner that
reads the RFID tags of every article of clothing we are
then wearing. If it finds some articles that are
already linked to our customer account, it uses that
link to identify who we are. Such identification may be
used to target specific advertising messages to us that
is likely to be of interest to us as individuals based
on our previous buying patterns."
"But what if we had originally bought all our clothing
for cash?"
"Good point. If everything was bought for cash and the
clerk could not otherwise identify us at time of
purchase, then there would be no account for the
scanned RFID threads to be imprinted upon."
"The new clothing we provided you had been purchased
for cash and would therefore not have RFID threads
coded to match any particular person. That way if you
passed any government scanner or retail store scanner,
the computer lookup on your clothing would return 'Name
Unknown'. That will be safe enough for now."
Eventually they would get me some articles of clothing
with RFID threads coded to my new identity, but that
would take some time. He explained that the
"Underground" also had computer programmer operatives
working in federal and state law enforcement. These
operatives would eventually fix the federal law
enforcement database so that any biometric scan of my
fingerprints or retinas would link to my new identity
rather than my old identify.
In the meanwhile he stressed that I must not carry
anything at all that had been purchased with a credit
card under my original name and address. All kinds of
objects, in addition to clothing, contained RFID
threads. Most important of all, he said, was that if a
scanner ever picked up on my original identify because
of one or two articles on my person that had been
bought with a credit card, then the computer would
register all the RFID threads in my clothing to that
identity as well! They would then no longer scan as
"Name Unknown" but scan my original name and address!
This process was known as "Re-Imprinting" and would
result in all my clothing becoming "hot," as he put it!
He gave me precise instructions what I should do if
that situation ever arose.
As he was explaining all this to me, I thought about
the small stun gun I had earlier slipped into my purse.
I knew I had purchased this for cash so any RFID thread
or chip it might contain could only scan as "Name
Unknown" and not possibly be linked to me. That should
be ok and I didn't have to tell them I was carrying it.
He told me of a place in the foothills of the Catskill
mountain range. It was on the mag-lev railroad to
Albany about two hours north of New York City. He spoke
of a cabin used by hunters during deer hunting season
that was walking distance from the town railroad stop.
He directed that I was to proceed to Grand Central
Station, board a train for upstate New York, disembark
at Saugerties and walk to the place. He said I could
lay low there for a couple of days while he made up my
new ID documents.
There was one minor difficulty with this plan though.
The mag-levs all used biometric identification of
passengers to thwart criminals and fugitives on the run
from the law. My biometrics would give me away at this
point since they would not have time to fix that in the
federal database for at least a week. To get around
this difficulty I would be escorted on the train
handcuffed as a "prisoner" by two uniformed "policemen"
who would flash badges at the train conductor. These
"policemen" would ride with me to my stop at Saugerties
and get off the train with me there. The conductor,
seeing me handcuffed and in custody already, would not
require a fingerprint scan!
Finally he gave me a capsule I was to carry in my mouth
at all times. In case of my arrest I was to bite down
hard on the capsule. No, it was not poison he hastened
to explain. Rather biting down would cause it to send a
signal to the "Underground" that one of their safe
house locations was about to be compromised so the
place could be cleared out before police could arrive.
The last step was for me to don a blindfold and follow
the woman who had first admitted me. She put me in a
car and drove me to Grand Central Station. I was
instructed not to remove the blindfold until several
minutes after I would hear her drive off. The two
"policemen" then met me as I entered the station,
placed me under "arrest," bought tickets for the three
of us and rode with me to Saugerties. There we parted
company and I walked to the cabin following the
directions I had been given.
A day later there was a package at the Saugerties mag-
lev station for me to pickup. It contained the computer
verifiable ID documents I would need and a prepaid
debit card in my new name with $500 on it. I boarded
the train heading north again first to Albany, then
west to Chicago. The trip to Chicago on the mag-lev
took 5 hours.
Once in Chicago, I realized I needed some necessaries.
I walked into a chain drug store and froze when I heard
a synthesized electronic voice say "Welcome to our
store, Stephanie Glenn!" I thought "What the Fuck! How
did they know who I was! Then I realized there must be
something in my purse that their scanner was able to
recognize. I rummaged through my purse and found it. It
was a package of Tampax I had purchased in New York
City from another drug store of this same chain! It
must have contained an RFID chip.
I must get rid of it! But would that be enough? I
remembered the explanation I had gotten from the
Underground about Re-Imprinting. What it meant was that
the previously anonymous threads in the clothing I was
wearing would now be linked to my true identity - at
least in the drugstore's computer system. Their system
would then check my identity against the government's
wanted persons register. If their system found a match,
they would be legally required to forward all data to
the government's computer system. My clothing - all of
it - was now "hot"! I ran out of the store in a panic!
I knew that I must lose this clothing, all of which was
now trackable. I had to assume the drug store chain got
a match for my identity with the national Persons
Wanted List. By now the threads in all my clothing
would be cross-registered with all law enforcement
agencies. Every time that I would board a bus or a
subway or stand at a street corner waiting for a light
to change my RFIDs could be picked up and transmitted
to police.
I ran into a sporting goods store and bought in line
speed skates for cash, then into a dark alley where I
stripped off all of my clothing, even panties. All that
stuff was trackable. I remembered the specific
instructions I had been given by the safe house in New
York for just such a situation as this. I fashioned a
sign with a piece of cardboard and some string which I
hung about my neck proclaiming myself a slave who is
being punished through forced nakedness while on an
errand for her master. I took out the handcuffs, black
leather collar and coin purse the safe house had
provided. I fixed the handcuffs so it looked as though
I were cuffed. I put the black leather collar around my
neck and fastened that in a way that it looked
impossible to remove. It had 'D' rings where a leash
might be attached. I hung the coin purse around my neck
and put my cash, ID and credit card into that. I
chucked my purse and all my clothing in a dumpster in
that alley.
Then I ran out into the street absolutely naked. I was
confidant police would not arrest me for indecent
exposure because there is an exception for slaves who
are being punished by public humiliation. Also I
believed police would have trouble catching me while I
was moving so fast on those roller blades. Interested
male spectators would not have long to study my body as
I whizzed by. I ran as fast as my slender muscular legs
and the skates could carry me toward a destination
about 10 blocks north where I remembered there was a
launder-mat.
During this run, with my heart pounding, I ran along
one block where young women were being vended. I saw
twenty or more of them, each secured by her collar with
a length of chain to a wall stanchion. Each wore only a
bikini top and a thong - the minimum needed to comply
with public decency laws. Above each one was a sign
with her slave name, her price, and a paragraph
describing who she had been when she was free. This one
had been a schoolteacher right here in Chicago, that
one a secretary from Milwaukee, and so forth. By now it
was dusk. Artificial lights illuminated these women and
the signs over them. Male passersby of various ages had
stopped to examine these women with, apparently, a view
to possible purchase. I was appalled at what I saw -
and it caused even more energy to flow into my legs
that I might escape such a fate myself!
Up ahead I could see the street was blocked off to
automobile traffic. Evidently there was some sort of
street fair going on. I kept going. They had the street
blocked off with a high wood plank fence that ran
almost the whole width of the street. There was an
entrance archway straight ahead of me. I noted a sign
that said "Adults Only" over the entrance and someone
there checking ages of young looking persons. Evidently
whatever was going on in this street fair was not for
children. As I entered the fair the lights were coming
on in the various exhibit areas and booths to offset
the gloom of the faltering daylight.
One brightly lit exhibit caught my eye. It was a group
of naked male slaves, each one slender and lightly
muscled, tethered to a wall and handcuffed. Evidently
public nudity was perfectly legal in Chicago as long as
it was in an area where children were not admitted.
That these men were slaves was evident, not only from
the handcuffs, but from the iron collars about their
necks, and the fact each had a brand on his inner
thigh. There was a booth nearby where tickets were
being sold.
As I passed by, a couple of women who had just stepped
away from the ticket booth were approaching two of the
naked males. I noticed these two slaves had not an
ounce of excess fat on their bodies, washboard
abdominal muscles and were especially well hung. Their
penises, even in their present flaccid condition,
looked to be 8 inches long. Their testicles and
scrotums were of impressive proportions and hung low.
The women approached the men and began to fondle them
between their legs. Under a different set of
circumstances I would have liked to buy a ticket for
myself and do the same! I had come a long way since the
time I refused to fondle the male waiter in the 'Garden
Café'!
A little further on I saw a truly shocking exhibit
called "The Generator Station". Here were a dozen or
more young women, all rather athletic looking, in a
line on a raised platform. All of these women were
quite naked and ranged in age from early to late
twenties. Each was astride a kind of stationary
bicycle, having no seat, with her neck in a yoke and
arms restrained at her side. Each one had her legs
vigorously pumping away at the pedals. A sign overhead
announced that these women were generating, with their
young and well-muscled legs, and as part of a court
ordered punishment, all the electricity consumed by the
entire street fair! Around the neck of each young
female was a sign with her name, vocation and a brief
description of the offense for which she had been
indentured.
There had been much talk about finding alternative
energy sources in the early twenty first century.
Apparently this problem had been solved with slave
labor! I shuddered, breathed more deeply and felt a new
burst of adrenalin and oxygen energizing my own legs.
If these legs did not serve me well now to escape, then
these legs might well end up as pistons for some
businessman trying to save on his energy costs!
There were two male overseers walking up and down the
line. They carried no whips. They carried instead
remote controls that enabled them to somehow control
the women in their labors.
Soon after I had exited the street fair and found
myself back in normal traffic. I found myself fast
approaching a gang of college boys who were drunk and
were pointing at me and making fun of me. It was clear
they meant to molest me as I approached them. I ducked
into an alley to avoid them. Some of them were in hot
pursuit but I was easily able to out run them with my
roller blades.
After I got beyond the alley and round the next corner
I was confronted with some of the other college boys
who had taken an alternate route to corner me. I am
surrounded. But I had had some martial arts training
and defended myself well, and made a getaway on my
inline skates. Finally I reached the launder-mat, went
in and stole some clothing that was about my size, ran
out with it, found another alley where I changed into
these clothes.
The underground railway people in New York had given me
a contact person for their Chicago shelter. I tried the
phone number but no one answers. I knew that I would
have to wait until the contact would return home.
I needed a place to sleep just for that night. I tried
a motel but noticed they were photographing each person
as they check in - even if they were paying cash. No
doubt this was in case things turn up missing from the
room. But I can't be sure there isn't a link to law
enforcement and there will be an APB out about me by
now. I tried a couple of other places but they also
were photographing.
Then I thought about maybe pitching a tent in one of
those tent parks. It was summertime and the weather was
not bad. Probably they don't photograph people who
check into these places. I bought a cheap throwaway
wireless laptop and used it to locate one of those
camping parks within 2 miles of a commuter train stop.
I found a twenty-four hour store that sold sporting
goods, and bought, with cash, a cheap tent, a backpack,
a sleeping bag, some cooking gear, and a few other
camping necessities.
I boarded the train with my tent and things in the
backpack. After a ride of 30 minutes, I got off at Pine
Tree Road and walk the 2 miles to camp. They checked me
in with no problem and no questions asked. No identity
check, no photographing. I pitched my tent and settled
in for the night. In the morning I built a fire from
wood logs and made myself some coffee and oatmeal. I
had paid for a week so I left the tent up. I took the
commuter train back into Chicago.
In Chicago I again tried phoning my contact for the
Underground. This time I was in luck. I was given an
address where I would be picked up for a blindfolded
ride to the safe house. When I arrived at the house I
was given a bed in a dormitory and a chance to bathe
and eat good food.
By then it was early Sunday afternoon. I knew that I
would need a job. The staff at the safe house got me
settled into their dormitory and suggested I should
apply for a telemarketing job, until I could find
something better. They aren't too fussy about
references for that kind of work. I used my throwaway
laptop to find job openings and phone numbers.
Early Monday morning I got busy applying. I secured a
job. Everything was OK the first day. The pay wasn't
great, but it was a job. With that I was able to go out
and rent a small apartment of one room and stock it
with groceries. I was on my way!
I went back on my throwaway laptop. I checked for news
stories about myself. Sure enough they had sent police
looking for me when I did not show up for court that
next day. The judge had declared the trial in recess
until such time as I would be apprehended and could
again be brought before the court. He informed the jury
that, in all probability, this would not take more than
a week or two, given all the high tech tracking devices
now deployed everywhere!
The judge also announced that since I was now a
fugitive from the law, that when I was caught, there
would be some serious additional penalties! The court
would make an example of me with a special humiliating
public punishment! Well they didn't have custody of me
yet. And with any luck they never would! I had made a
new life for myself!
I managed to line up a professional job interview. I
was to meet a Richard Smithson at a restaurant and bar
called "The Ball and Chain". From the name I wondered
if some of the employees were slaves. When I arrive the
hostess checked my name.
"Rebecca Stevens?" I nodded. "Mr. Smithson is expecting
you. Right this way." She led me through the restaurant
to his table. I saw that there was a long stage down
the center with nude pole dancers gyrating.
"Miss Stevens. I hope you don't mind the atmosphere
here. Having the meeting here seemed like a good idea,
as I needed to know if you would be comfortable with
nudity, prostitution and, of course, slavery?"
I could not believe he expected me to be ok with all
this.
"You see my firm uses enslaved call girls and enslaved
dancers to entertain clients. I might need you to come
to trade conventions with me and assist in making
clients comfortable in the hospitality suites. This
could include ascertaining a client's desires and
preferences and choosing an appropriate slave girl to
meet his needs. You would be ok with that wouldn't
you?"
"Surely Mr. Smithson. I have been called upon to
arrange such things in my last job and I assure you it
would be no problem!"
I lied through my teeth. My true feelings were exactly
opposite on all these points but I knew what I had to
say to get the job. Soon a naked waitress came and took
our orders. I noted that there was an iron collar
around her neck and a number tattooed on her left
buttock. He caressed her bare thigh. She seemed not to
notice. We started with a fairly expensive wine and I
actually found him to be a fairly good
conversationalist.
"I see from your resume that your last job was in
Accounts Receivable for Murphy Automotive in San
Francisco. Why did you leave that firm?"
"The firm went under sir. Their market position eroded
because of all the new competition in the Bay area."
I hoped this would discourage him from any attempt to
check out my references at this phony job with a
company that never existed. Soon the main course
arrived and we dug in. We made mostly small talk.
As the evening wore on I thought that things were going
well with this interview. We were on the dessert
course. Just then two policemen approached our table
accompanied by a woman who looked vaguely familiar.
"That's her!" the woman shouted pointing at me. She had
spoken loudly enough that all the other patrons in the
restaurant turned to look in my direction.
"The reason we called you at home and asked you to
accompany us here, Mrs. Reed, is that the restaurant
does RFID scans on the clothing of all its patrons to
identify regular or returning customers. We had put the
RFIDs of your reported missing clothing out on an alert
since yesterday. The scan of this young woman's clothes
that was made earlier this evening matched the alert so
the restaurant's computer automatically reported it to
us" one of the officers said.
"I have the receipts to prove the clothes she is
wearing are mine! I want my clothing back right now!"
the woman shrieked. I had intended to mail the clothes
back to her, but with everything that had been
happening I had not managed to do that yet.
"Do you have some proof of who you are, Miss?" the
first officer said.
I fumbled nervously to produce my new false identity
papers, while breaking into a sweat. My heart began to
pound.
"Miss Rebecca Stevens, you are under arrest for the
theft of this woman's clothing from the launder-mat.
Stand over there please. We will need you to remove the
clothing belonging to Mrs. Reed at this time, so that
we can return those items to the rightful owner!"
I could not believe it! They expected me to strip right
there in the restaurant! In front of all the patrons! I
knew I had to do it or they would do it to me. Mr.
Smithson, who was on the verge of offering me the job,
just looked on dumbfounded as more and more of my body
came into his view. When I was entirely naked they
handcuffed me and escorted me out to the patrol car. I
drew quite a bit of interested gawking from restaurant
patrons first and then from passersby on the street.
At the police station they photograph me and lock me
up, still naked, in a holding cell overnight. I later
learn that a story has run on page 6 of the leading
Chicago newspaper titled "Launder-Mat Clothing Thief"
with a naked photo of me. Of course they pixelled out
my genitals to comply with the public decency laws.
In the morning I was still naked in the holding cell,
when I was visited by two out of town skip tracers from
New York. It seems they had been able to track my
movements to Chicago by means of that same damn Tampax
pack. My true identity had been linked to the RFID chip
in the package when I bought the Tampax along with
other items on my credit card in New York City. Sensors
in the mag-lev train I took from New York to Chicago
had picked up the signal and found a match against my
name on a federal wanted list. This had alerted the New
York skip trace agents to follow me to the state of
Illinois. When they arrived they saw the story in the
Chicago paper about the naked clothing thief and
compared the photo that accompanied that story with the
photos they already had from the New York court. They
felt they had a match, and were able to positively
confirm it when they visited me in the Chicago jail.
Since Illinois and New York had reciprocity with
respect to extraditions, they had no trouble getting
clearance to bring me back to New York City.
They transported me back to New York just as they found
me, naked and handcuffed. I tried not to make eye
contact with other train passengers who openly gawked
at me. About half way back I just started sobbing and
sobbing. My ingenuity and my runner's legs had not been
enough to save my precious freedom!
In New York I was placed in a holding cell to await
what tomorrow would bring.
Chapter 8. The Slaver Helps a Dancer
Immediately after the jury retired to deliberate
Stephanie's case, the SlendaBond attorney and I retired
to the VIP club in the courthouse to await the verdict.
We discussed the fact that the longer the jury was out
the better our chances of achieving at least a partial
enslavement of Stephanie. If the jurors were having
trouble reaching a verdict they would probably settle
on a compromise verdict where at least we would have
Stephanie under an indenture for 5 or 10 years. That
might satisfy the client and give us something to
celebrate!
I really wanted to win this victory over Stephanie.
Something in her nature and bearing challenged me to
beat her. At least the sexual part of my being wanted
this victory even if the intellectual side had doubts
about the justice of our case. After three hours the
judge called us back and adjourned proceedings for the
day. As it was a Friday, proceedings would resume
Monday morning.
The next day, Saturday, I was a featured speaker at a
symposium called The Kinder and Gentler Slavery of
Today and Tomorrow. I continued to be just as much
interested in the theoretical and legal aspects of
slavery as I had always been in the practical end of
it. This conference reminded me of that earlier
gathering I had attended many years ago, with my friend
George, when we were both college students. That was
the one where the very idea that slavery could be made
"kinder and gentler" was first publicly proposed and
became the basis for a concerted campaign to persuade
the public.
The speaker before me had gone on at great length about
all the legislation that had been passed to implement
the concept. Slave owners today had accepted that they
were responsible for life long medical care for the
slave and to provide for his or her retirement years.
Those owners who tried to duck such responsibilities
were subject to criminal prosecution. While the slave
herself, of course, had no legal standing to bring a
legal action to secure these benefits, there were slave
advocacy organizations that investigated abuses and
could bring a lawsuit on her behalf or alert public
authorities to prosecute where appropriate. As the
public saw all of this being successfully implemented,
opposition to slavery as such greatly declined. This
was, of course, the major purpose for the whole
concept.
The title for my own talk was "Putting Equity into the
Enslavement Process". I had been introduced to this
group as one of the most successful slavers in the
business, having enslaved, for debt, over 1000 men and
women, over the last ten years, through the legal
processes. Therefore I had some credibility with this
audience. Most of those in attendance cared more about
expanding the supply of slaves than they cared about
justice or equity. But they would listen to someone of
my background.
I began by pointing out that we were losing some
potential slaves because juries often were still
sympathetic to those in the dock. There was a public
perception that quite a few people had been indentured
or enslaved who did not deserve such a fate. Many
citizens of Capitallia seemed to feel that slavery for
debt was a punishment and should only be imposed where
there was some fault or wrongful conduct by the debtor.
Many felt that it was wrong to enslave someone simply
because they had a run of bad luck and could not pay
their debts. As I said these things I remembered that I
had felt and expressed much the same to Professor
Petersen as a young college student. I had always felt
it morally, but knew I would have to sell it to this
audience on some more 'practical' basis.
I then gave example after example of cases wherein I
thought there had been some injustice. I naturally
changed the names and places. I also gave examples
where juries had refused to enslave even in cases where
I thought we had a solid case and the debtor well
deserved the punishment we were seeking. It was the
need for unanimous verdicts, and the feeling on the
part of some of the citizenry that the system was not
just that led to these defeats, I pointed out. If we
would introduce some reforms we might improve the
reputation of the system with the citizenry to where we
could be successful with 95% of all attempted
enslavements, instead of succeeding with just 75% of
them, which was about all we had been able to achieve
up to this time. That idea resonated with my audience.
There were shouts of "here, here!"
But there was another point I wished to make with this
audience. I had become aware of many cases where slaves
who were highly skilled in a profession or in the arts
were having such talents wasted. Their owners could
make quite a bit of money by just hiring them out as
sex slaves and did not always see it in their interest
to allow a slave to carry on with his or her
profession. Allowing a slave to pursue a career, I
said, need not conflict with sexual usage of that
slave, either by the owner or others. Further I pointed
out the potential added pleasure an owner might have in
owning a slave who was highly accomplished as a result
of many years of training and dedication to a skill or
craft. I heard some murmuring and nodding of heads in
response. The audience was clearly intrigued though
their response was more muted than when I was talking
about how to increase the numbers of enslavements!
As I was saying all this I happened to notice a slim
and very attractive woman who looked vaguely familiar
cleaning and shining the brass sculptures that
decorated alcoves and niches in the hall in which we
were meeting. She was quite some distance from me but I
could just see that she was apparently a slave as she
was scantily clad and had an iron collar with rings
about her neck. She cast frequent glances at me as
though hoping to make eye contact but not quite daring
to do so. I was puzzled if I knew this woman or not,
but had to put her out of my mind for now.
I wrapped up my talk by proposing that we all go forth
through our various professional societies and press
for changes in the laws so that, in future, it would be
necessary to prove debtor wrongdoing as well as a
creditor's need for restitution in order to support an
enslavement proceeding, even at the stage of the
preliminary hearing. Cases in which there had been no
wrong doing should not even reach a jury, except
perhaps where the only remedy sought was a short
indenture of two or three years to provide at least
some restitution to the creditor.
After the symposium ended I headed back to my office. I
decided to check in with the two skip trace agents I
had hired to keep an eye on Stephanie. I almost always
hired such agents when a case reached this stage. After
investing all this work I did not want to lose a
potential slave who decided to make a run for it. It
would be very deflating to my ego and my penis if a
girl I nearly had in my grasp were to slip my noose at
the last minute!
The agents had bad news for me. They had lost her. They
had been watching her home, but she had managed to get
out unobserved. One of them waited at her home all
night to see if she would return. She did not. The
other agent was able to link into the GPS signals
emanating from her ankle bracelet. He quickly went
downtown and homed in on the moving signal. He was
dismayed to find the ankle bracelet attached to a dog
and not to a girl! Then the agents knew she had
definitely flown the coop. They began working their
contacts in the law enforcement community to see if
they could get some RFID tag information that would
help them follow her to whatever place she had flown.
They told me they were sorry not to have better news,
but that was where things stood. They felt it was
probably only a matter of time until they would get a
break, but nobody could be sure when or if. The elation
that I had felt at the end of the trial the day before
had pretty well faded on this news.
I had been working there for perhaps another half an
hour after that disappointing conversation when I heard
a very tentative soft knocking on my locked outer
office door. As my secretary had left for the day I
went to unlock the door. There I saw a vision that
stiffened my penis! A beautiful woman stood there,
naked but for high heels, with the posture and bearing
of a dancer. She was the same woman I had seen at a
distance polishing the brass earlier that afternoon in
the lecture auditorium. She still wore the iron collar,
and also a coin purse and a note from her owner hanging
about her neck. She was slender as a reed and delicate
in her upper body, yet the musculature of her hips and
legs was well developed. She had the typical physique
of a ballerina. Suddenly I knew who she was. It all
came back to me. I had enslaved this woman some two
years earlier! She had been one of perhaps a thousand
debtors I had taken down in court over the last ten
years. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all.
I remembered to breathe again. I invited her to follow
me to my inner office. My curiosity was getting the
better of me. I sat down but did not immediately invite
her to do so. That might not be prudent until I learned
the purpose of her visit. Then too I was enjoying the
view of her dancer's body. She had assumed the "slave
display position," standing erect, head held high and
legs well separated with knees slightly flexed. Her
hair was a very dark rich brown and cascaded down
almost to her waist. Fortunately she had it tied back
in a ponytail so that it did nothing to obscure her
lovely breasts, the delicate tracery of her ribs or the
flat muscular plane of her belly. My eyes traveled down
to the rich crown of dark brown curly pubic hair that
adorned her vulva and all the sexual details of that
vulva that I could clearly perceive because of her
assumed position, because of how she was made and
because of my vantage point. Because her legs were
slightly flexed I was able to enjoy too her well
defined leg muscles and the tendons of those muscles at
the crotch. She was the very picture of feminine
sexuality!
"Does your master always send you on errands naked? I
asked.
"No indeed sir. I am as you see me because I wanted to
show proper respect sir! I thought it would be wrong to
conceal my body when I am coming here to beg you for a
favor!"
"Did your master send you to me, Vivienne?"
"No Mr. Steelforth, sir! I beg you that whatever you
may decide about granting or not granting me a favor,
that you will not tell him that I came to you. Please
sir! It would mean a whipping!"
"Well I can't promise that just yet. It may depend on
the nature of your request. And what is the favor that
you seek from me?" I asked. The growing awareness of
the power I had over this lovely creature was beginning
to cause an excited stirring in my genitals.
"You know, do you not, what my profession was before I
became a slave?" she whispered.
Indeed I did. Vivienne had been a ballerina with the
National Ballet of Capitallia. In fact she was one of
their principal dancers and had played the leading role
in a performance of Giselle I had very much enjoyed
only six months before I had enslaved her. Of course I
was troubled by the idea of enslaving such a talent,
but the client was insistent. At the time I had hoped,
perhaps unrealistically, that this client, once he
owned her, would see that she had talent and find a way
for her to continue to practice the career she
obviously loved, even as he used her sexually for his
own pleasure and the pleasure of his friends and
business associates.
"Well sir, I recognized your voice while I was
polishing the statues at the lecture hall this
afternoon. I heard you say to that audience that you
believed that it would be consistent with the "kinder
gentler slavery" to allow a slave to pursue an artistic
or professional career!'
"Why yes I did say that, Vivienne. I take it your owner
has not allowed you to continue with your dance career?
How then do you maintain yourself in such superb
physical condition?
"No, he has not permitted a ballet career, sir. But he
does insist on much daily exercise and a different kind
of dance training now in his place of business. That is
how I keep my body fit. I now work hard to keep up my
skills and appearance as a pole dancer for the nudie
bars!'
"What a comedown that must be after ballet!" I said.
"And what about sex? Does he use you that way too?"
"He has always used me for his own sexual pleasure and
often hired me out to his friends and very important
clients as a sex slave. I was working the VIP lounge
before the lecture. Then the lounge cleared out when
the lecture started so he found something else for me
to do until the lecture would be over. He later sent me
on an errand to buy something from the drug store in
the lobby of your building, sir. I knew this was where
you worked and took the liberty of coming up to see you
sir."
"And what is it exactly that you want from me?" I said
with mock harshness. I could feel my scrotum tightening
and drawing my testicles up closer to my pubis.
"I am just asking s-sir if you could t-talk to my owner
and try to persuade him of your view that slaves should
be allowed to p-pursue careers. He might listen to a
man of your stature in the industry!"
"I will do that Vivienne, and I may go one better. If
your owner agrees, I would be willing to talk also with
the Artistic Director of your ballet company to see if
he will take you back in the company as a slave dancer.
Would this be a shock to him? Or have there been other
enslaved dancers in his company to your knowledge?"
"No, it would not be a shock sir! I know of three, one
guy and two girls, that I danced with two years ago
that are back with the dance company after their
enslavements. Their owners have them driven to and from
rehearsals and there is always a guard backstage to
ensure that they obey the Artistic Director. Their
owners don't worry about any attempted escapes because
of the bio-implants. Apparently it is working out all
right!"
"So you would like me to speak to him? I think he will
listen to me as I have contributed generously to his
company over the years?"
"Yes, would you please sir? Permission to break
position to beg sir?"
"All right!" I said with a sweep of my hand. Vivienne
broke from her 'slave display' position, dropped to her
knees, then prostrated herself, pressing her lips to my
shoes and holding them there for a long moment.
"I will do what you have asked, Vivienne. But I think
you know how the slave system works. If you want a
favor you must be prepared to pay for it with your
body, for that is the only currency you will ever
have!" My penis was hard as a rock now.
"That would be my pleasure, sir!" Vivienne was looking
up at me with the most wonderful mischievous smile. I
pulled open a desk drawer and took out a leash and a
pair of police style handcuffs. I fastened the leash to
the collar around her neck, pulled her to her feet and
cuffed her hands behind her back. I loved to fuck a
handcuffed woman! I led her into the bedroom adjoining
my office and laid her out on the bed. I proceeded to
mount her and introduce my penis to her tunnel of love.
I plunged in and out of her many times then just stayed
inside her for a long, long time, losing none of my
hardness. She was young enough to be my daughter. She
was a hard body dancer and I a businessman! All I could
think of was that I was inside a woman who would
probably never have given me the time of day if she
were free. But that made it all the more exciting!
After a time I dismissed Vivienne. And my thoughts
turned back to the case of Stephanie Glenn. Although I
had managed to enjoy certain intimate liberties with
her at the Creditor's Exam, I had not, as yet, had an
opportunity to fuck her. There was a very good
possibility her owner would allow me that pleasure if
only my agents could find her and bring her forcibly
back to face her jury next week. Vivienne had been a
pleasant interlude to take my mind off the trial for a
while. But now I turned out the lights of my office and
walked to the elevator hoping that tomorrow would bring
exciting news.
Chapter 9. The Verdict
I had spent the night naked in jail after my ill-fated
escape attempt. By morning I was shivering with cold as
I wrapped myself in the one blanket I had been allowed.
The cellblock, which had been dark, suddenly was full
of light and sounds as guards came through banging
their batons on the bars to wake up all the prisoners.
Soon a male guard unlocked my cell and jerked me to my
feet, handing me at the same time some jail-issue
clothes.
"Prisoner 4306! Use the toilet if you need to. Then put
on these clothes and comb your hair. You are coming
with me. Now make it quick! I haven't got all day!" He
kept idly banging his baton on the bars of my cell
door.
I badly needed to urinate but had never done such a
thing in front of a man before. Still it was clear that
right now would be my only chance, maybe for hours. So
I sat on the stainless steel toilet bowl that had no
seat and let go with a loud tinkling sound while he
watched. There was no toilet paper so I splashed water
from the sink on my vulva and dried myself with a
corner of the blanket. He looked bored, probably had
seen hundreds of women relieve themselves in much the
same way. I picked up the clothes he had brought. They
were standard summer jail issue - orange short shorts,
a sleeveless white tee shirt, bulky white socks and
sneakers. The tee shirt was emblazoned with the words
"Manhattan City Jail" in bright orange letters. A bra
was provided and a very used threadbare pair of
panties. I pulled everything on as quickly as I could.
"We have no time to waste. I'm to present you in court
in twenty minutes for your trial."
He first cuffed my hands behind my back, then led me
down the jail cell corridor and into a waiting van that
took me to the courthouse. I was soon seated at counsel
table with my defense attorney, but still cuffed. I
looked around and saw that Mr. Jenkins, my nemesis and
former employer, was in attendance, as well as others I
had known who had probably come to gloat at my
misfortune. The courtroom was only about three quarters
full, though the back row, reserved for non-citizens,
was entirely full. My attorney told me quite a few non-
citizens had been turned away after the back row
filled.
"All Rise!" Judge Morelock entered the courtroom and
took his seat at the bench and began his usual opening
remarks.
"The Third District Court of the State of New York is
now in session. We are here today on the matter of an
enslavement petition filed by the corporation known as
Richmond SlendaBond against an alleged debtor
identified in the petition as Stephanie Glenn. Trial
having been completed and all parties being present, we
will proceed."
"Miss Glenn, your foolish attempt to flee the
jurisdiction of this Court will not go unpunished,
regardless of the outcome of this trial. It will be
necessary to make a public example of you to discourage
other defendants from trying the same tactic. I will
more fully address this matter at a later time."
"For the record, the jurors have not been told of the
attempted escape, but only that the case had to be
adjourned because of 'schedule conflicts'. If there are
no motions at this time, I will call the jury back in
and give them an opportunity to ask any questions they
may have, before releasing them back to continue their
deliberations."
The jurors all filed solemnly back into the juror's box
and were seated.
"Have you chosen a foreperson?" the judge asked.
"If it please the Court, my name is Robert Rickson and
I have been chosen," a tall distinguished looking man
had risen to address the judge.
"Have any questions for the Court come up in your
deliberations so far?"
"Yes, your Honor. We wanted you to go over the
instructions again as to how we are to formulate our
verdict."
"Very well," the judge said, "You are to decide the
following questions:
(1) Has it been proven that the defendant, Stephanie
Glenn, does indeed owe the creditor, Richmond
SlendaBond, the sum of at least ten thousand dollars,
and is unable to pay the same?"
(2) If the debt is actually owed, was the defendant in
any way at fault for contracting this debt or for her
inability to pay it?
(3) If the debt is owed, has defendant shown a
willingness to do everything possible to discharge it
while retaining her freedom?
(4) Would enslaving this debtor likely result in
extreme psychological duress or trauma to her?
(5) State the disposition of this case - whether the
debtor should be freed, indentured for a limited number
of years to the creditor, or enslaved for life to the
creditor?"
"Your verdict must be unanimous on all five questions
or I will send you back for further deliberations until
you are unanimous or until I deem there is a hopeless
impasse. You may prescribe any disposition of the case,
including complete freedom for the debtor, regardless
of your findings on the first four questions. You may
also make any additional recommendations to this Court
concerning sentencing."
"Thank you, your Honor. That clears up our questions,"
the foreman said and took his seat.
"You may return to your deliberations at this time, and
Court is now in recess until further notice." The judge
banged his gavel and left the courtroom.
My lawyer and I then retired to the lounge to await
developments. A guard accompanied us to keep an eye on
me and my handcuffs were not released this time. I
wanted a cup of coffee so my lawyer had to make it for
me and present it to my lips. I did not have the use of
my hands. Time passed slowly, but after about two hours
we were summoned back to the courtroom.
At 11:30 am the judge banged the Court back into
session.
"This Court is now in session in the matter of Richmond
SlendaBond v. Glenn. The jury has sent me a message
they wish to report a verdict at this time. Bailiff,
show them in please."
Jurors filed in solemnly as before. I noticed several
of them were looking directly at me. My lawyer
whispered to me that that was usually a good sign.
"Will the jury foreman stand. Has the jury reached a
verdict in this matter?"
"Yes we have, your Honor" Mr. Rickson stated.
"Bailiff, will you collect the verdict form from the
foreman at this time." There was a hush in the
courtroom as we all forgot to breathe while this took
place, and the judge studied the form for a minute. His
expression gave nothing away.
"Mr. Foreman, I will read the questions one by one and
ask you to answer as to the jury's verdict. " the judge
intoned.
"On the first question: Do you find that this defendant
owes the creditor at least ten thousand dollars and is
unable to pay?"
"We so find, your Honor."
"On the second question: Do you find that this
defendant is in any way at fault for contracting this
debt or for her inability to pay it?"
"We find this defendant to be without fault, your
Honor." I breathed a sigh of relief at this, and heard
my lawyer do likewise. I also thought I heard some
expression of disappointment from the gallery. The
judge banged his gavel for order.
"On the third question: Do you find that this defendant
has shown a willingness to do everything possible to
discharge this debt while retaining her freedom?"
"No we do not, your Honor!" My heart was in my throat
at this announcement.
"On the fourth question: Would enslaving this defendant
likely result in extreme psychological duress or
trauma?"
"Yes, we believe it would, your Honor."
"On the fifth question: What shall be the disposition?
Shall the defendant be freed, indentured for a limited
time, or enslaved for life?"
"This defendant shall be indentured to this creditor
for a term of ten years, your Honor."
At this, there were murmurs of glee from some
spectators in the gallery. One whistled. Others were
openly weeping for me. The judge banged his gavel for
order.
"So say you all? If any juror does not support this
verdict, let him speak now." Silence.
"Does the jury have any special recommendations, before
I pass sentence?"
"We have two, your Honor. First, we believe that since
Miss Glenn is a professional person and is not at fault
in this matter, that she should be permitted, while
under the complete control of her creditor, to pursue
her profession with all earnings from professional or
other work to be the property of creditor. Second, we
believe that due to Miss Glenn's delicate nature, there
is risk of trauma, and that creditor should be required
to provide psychological counseling for her so that she
can survive this indenture with her mental health
intact."
"My thanks to the jury," the judge said. "There is one
final duty for the jury, and that is to be present for
the reading of the sentence and bear witness to the
actual reduction to indentured slavery of the
defendant. As jurors you will be asked to sign as
witnesses that this has been done in your presence.
Prior to sentencing, however, I am required by Public
Law 96-012 to order that baseline physical and mental
tests be performed upon the defendant for use in
monitoring her subsequent well being under the
indenture. Accordingly Court will be in recess until
9am tomorrow morning so that this can be accomplished.
I will confer with counsel now in my chambers and
consider the sentence to be imposed. When we reconvene
at 9am we will have sentencing and the 'Ceremony of
Indenture' that is open to the public and will complete
this proceeding." With that, he banged the gavel and
people started to file out of the room.
***
My attorney whispered to me that we were wanted in
judge's chambers along with Mr. Steelforth and the
StendaBond attorney. So I followed him to chambers,
still handcuffed, and the guard followed me. I was
conscious of my scanty attire as the building was
highly air conditioned and I could feel a cool draft on
my bare legs and arms. As we entered chambers I noticed
that Mr. Steelforth hung back for a while to make a
phone call. He rejoined us just as the judge came in. I
quickly dropped to my knees before the judge's desk at
a signal from my attorney. I was no longer a free
person and no longer entitled to be treated as such.
"The reason I wanted to see you all in my chambers is
to discuss this surprise recommendation of the jury
that Miss Glenn be allowed to practice her profession
while under indenture. This is rather unusual since it
is normally thought that the characteristic
unquestioning obedience required of a person under
indenture is not compatible with the kind of discretion
normally needed by a professional person to carry out
professional responsibilities."
"Your Honor, we object to this ..." the SlendaBond
attorney started to say, but got cut off by Mr.
Steelforth.
"I have just spoken with our client, your Honor, and he
is quite amenable to working out something consistent
with the jury's recommendation. He is prepared to allow
Miss Glenn to work in her field as an accountant, to
exercise professional discretion and work under minimal
supervision in her professional work, while yet being
under slave discipline and the need for instant and
unquestioning obedience in her, er ...other duties!"
"You mean her sexual duties, counselor?" the judge
asked.
"Yes, your Honor. I did not want to state it so baldly,
but yes."
I sat and listened to all this from my lowly position
on the floor. All these men were discussing me as
though I were not even in the room.
"You have been quite an advocate for allowing slaves to
continue their professional careers, have you not
Bill?" the judge asked.
"Yes, your Honor, I gave a talk on that very idea just
last Saturday at the symposium."
"I heard something about that. I take it defense
counsel has no objection to this rather unusual
arrangement?"
"No, indeed, your Honor. It sounds as though she will
have a much less degrading experience during the ten
years of her indenture if this can be worked out!"
"And the counseling?"
"My client is willing to provide for that also," Mr.
Steelforth agreed.
"Then we are all in agreement," the judge summarized.
Meeting adjourned."
For lunch my guard handcuffed me in front, so that I
could have limited use of my hands for eating and
drinking. In the restaurant I was shivering with cold
in my jail short shorts and sleeveless tee shirt so I
asked the waitress if she could provide me a tablecloth
to drape over my legs. She obliged.
"Can't we appeal?" I said in a pleading tone to my
attorney.
"Stephanie, I need to explain something to you.
Appellate courts only will hear arguments alleging that
the trial judge made an error in applying the law. They
will not second guess juries on questions of fact. In
your case the judge has done everything by the book, so
I don't see any error of law."
"But couldn't we at least try? What could it hurt to
try?" I wailed.
"It could hurt a great deal Stephanie. Appellate courts
don't like their time wasted with frivolous arguments.
On cases like yours, if they felt we had no real
argument of law, they would very likely increase your
sentence, perhaps by as much as two or three years."
"Then is there no hope at all?" I said in a very
subdued voice, tears running down my face.
"Trust that I will be following your case as further
developments unfold, and if I see facts developing that
would warrant it, I can call for an evidentiary hearing
on those facts."
My attorney went on to explain to me that this
"professional slavery" as he called it, might well be
saving me from spending the next ten years as a public
prostitute. He quickly added that there might still be
sexual services demanded of me by the owner of my
indenture, in addition to professional services. But
these services would likely be only for the
entertainment of my owner and perhaps a few of his
friends, rather than the general public. I would not be
turning tricks for money.
After lunch my attorney and the guard escorted me to
Examination Services on the sixth floor of the
courthouse. There I received a standard medical
examination and was interviewed by a psychologist and
took a standard IQ test and a standard test of general
knowledge. Then it was back to the jail for the night.
Promptly at 9 am the next morning the judge banged the
Court back into session. My guard brought me to court
in the same jail shorts and tee shirt I had worn the
day before and had again cuffed my hands behind me. The
bailiffs had allowed even more spectators in so that it
was standing room only. Word about the "Ceremony of
Indenture" had evidently gotten around, and many had
come to witness my humiliation. The jurors had all
filed back into the jury box.
"This Court is now again in session in the matter of
Richmond Slendabond v. Glenn. The jury having rendered
its verdict, we are here now for sentencing and for the
'Ceremony of Indenture'."
"IT IS THE ORDER OF THIS COURT THAT THE ALTERNATIVE
PETITION BY THE PLAINTIFF, RICHMOND SLENDABOND, TO
INDENTURE THE DEFENDANT, STEPHANIE GLENN, BE AND HEREBY
IS GRANTED FOR A TERM OF TEN YEARS, AND THAT OWNERSHIP
OF HER INDENTURE AND PHYSICAL CUSTODY OF HER PERSON BE
CONVEYED BY THIS COURT TO SAID PLAINTIFF, ALONG WITH A
DOCUMENT OF TITLE TO ANY AND ALL PERSONAL PROPERTY OR
REAL ESTATE THAT SHE MAY POSSESS, AT THE CONCLUSION OF
THIS PROCEEDING."
"IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT PLAINTIFF SHALL ALLOW THE
INDENTUREE OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE HER PROFESSION UNDER
HIS GENERAL SUPERVISION AND CONTROL, IN ADDITION TO ANY
NON PROFESSIONAL DUTIES HE MAY PRESCRIBE, AND SHALL
ALSO PROVIDE FOR HER MEDICAL DENTAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL
CARE DURING THE TERM OF HER INDENTURE."
"IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT THIS ENSLAVEMENT SHALL BE
NON-PUNITIVE IN CHARACTER PURSUANT TO PUBLIC LAW 96-
012, AND THAT PLAINTIFF, OR SUBSEQUENT PARTY HOLDING
INDENTURE SHALL MAINTAIN RECORDS SUBJECT TO AUDIT BY
ANY CERTIFIED SLAVE ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION."
"At this point there is a ceremony," the judge
continued, prescribed by law for judicial indentures
which requires that certain things be done in open
court and that it is the final duty of the jury to
witness that these things have been done and to affix
their signatures as witnesses to the ceremony'".
"The law also prescribes, that a person about to lose
his or her freedom to indenture for a term of years,
shall present himself or herself humbly to the jury. It
is a sign of servility that the one about to be
indentured must show to the Court, to his or her jurors
and to his or her betters in the courtroom."
I was then made to face my jurors, kneel to them and
thank them for indenturing me! While in this position a
machine was wheeled up behind me. I stole a quick
glance and saw what appeared to be a giant hypodermic
needle and means for strapping a person's head into a
harness. The judge sharply ordered me to only look
forward toward the jury and to make eye contact with
jurors. I felt hands strapping my neck to the machine
and clamping my head in place so that I could not move.
Then a bailiff was swabbing my neck with some cool
liquid that smelled like alcohol. I felt a sharp sting
in my neck, searing heat and a loud report like a
gunshot echoing in the courtroom. The room swirled
around me for a moment as some of the jurors looked on
sympathetically and many in the gallery smirked. I felt
a bandage being applied to the back of my neck.
I knew that my neck had been penetrated by something!
Then my head cleared in time to hear the judge saying
something to the jurors to the effect that "if she ever
tries to run now we will have no difficulty tracking
her!" I later learned that they had injected a bio-
implant in my head that would transmit a unique serial
number to satellites for the term of my indenture that
would make me always identifiable and locatable by
police agencies all over the world! This bio-implant
would also monitor my vital functions and radio
transmit that information as well, and was capable of
receiving a coded transmission initiated by my owner
that would do various things to my body!
If the judge had meant to break my spirit right here in
front of jurors and spectators he had done so. Every
shred of dignity had been taken from me in this
proceeding! Soon all my bonds were released and I was
spun around to face my jury in a standing position that
they might enjoy the sight of me broken, my body
wracked with sobs, and tears streaming down my face! I
could not face the jury. I just could not! I hung my
head and closed my eyes! One of the bailiffs dried my
tears. Then the judge ordered me to stand erect, hold
my head high, open my eyes and make eye contact with
each and every juror! When I was slow to comply I felt
a paddle slam into my buttocks! I straightened up and
opened my eyes. I did not want to be hit again! I saw
smirks in the eyes of some spectators who, I suspected
had much enjoyed my humiliation a moment before and
further enjoyed seeing me slammed upright just now!
"Young lady," the judge intoned, "this is as good a
time as any for you to begin learning that instant
obedience is required of you in your new life as an
indentured slave."
There were titters of amusement everywhere and I saw
more smirks and knowing smiles! God! Did no one care
about my dignity as a human being who had just been
stripped of her freedom? Even my own lawyer seemed
amused.
"THE FINAL PART OF MY ORDER TODAY CONCERNS THE MATTER
OF YOUR WILFUL ATTEMPT TO FLEE THE JURISDICTION OF THIS
COURT. IT IS THE LAW THAT ALL SUCH ATTEMPTS MUST BE
PUBLICLY PUNISHED TO SET AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS WHO MIGHT
BE TEMPTED TO FLEE. THE COURT ORDERS THAT YOU BE TAKEN
TO THE NEAREST PUBLIC SLAVE AUCTION PLATFORM AND WHILE
AT THAT PLACE HAVE YOUR SLAVE NUMBER BURNED INTO YOUR
NAKED BUTTOCKS. THIS IS NOT ONLY TO PUNISH YOU FOR
FLEEING, BUT ALSO TO IMPRESS UPON YOUR MIND THAT YOU
ARE NO LONGER A FREE PERSON, BUT THAT YOU ARE, FOR THE
NEXT TEN YEARS UNDER THE ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF ANOTHER."
The judge ordered me to thank the jury again for
indenturing me. This time I was to prostrate myself on
the ground before the jury, holding my forehead in
contact with the floor until given permission to rise.
While I remained in this position he had the bailiff
pass the witness form to the jurors for their
signatures, certifying that they had personally
witnessed my fall from freedom.
"At this time I thank the members of the jury for their
service. The jury is discharged. Go home!"
The jurors filed out one by one, casting glances at the
former free girl who now lay enslaved, and prostrate on
the floor.
"Court is now adjourned."
***
The judge had not said I could rise from the floor. But
Mr. Steelforth came to get me and bade me rise. He put
a steel collar around my neck and attached a leash.
"You belong to us now, Miss Glenn! Regrettably you have
a date with the branding iron now that must be gotten
out of the way before we can begin introducing you to
your new life."
He led me, still handcuffed and in my jail shorts, out
to the public corridor and down the elevator to the
courthouse garage, where a van was waiting to take me
to my rendezvous on the public slave platform. I soon
found myself on that same sawdust covered stage in
front of a crowd where my lawyer had taken me before
trial to show me what slavery meant.
Mr. Steelforth presented me to the master of ceremonies
along with a copy of the judge's order for my branding.
While the M.C. read the order I looked out upon the
crowd. To my horror there was my nemesis again, Mr.
Jenkins, and several of the same coworkers from that
company who had watched my trial. Here they were to
gloat again. The Master of Ceremonies then announced to
the crowd that there was to be a bit of extra
entertainment that afternoon. I saw and heard smirks
and guffaws from the mostly male crowd. Then the M.C.
noted that the order called for me to be branded naked
abd signaled to a guard to strip me.
"Guard, since she is handcuffed already, you will need
to assist her in meeting this requirement."
The guard stooped down in front of me as I remained
seated and removed my shoes and socks. Then he made me
stand, removed my jewelry and used a pair of scissors
to cut off first my tee shirt and bra, then my jail
short shorts and panties. There was laughter, some
jeering and more guffaws and wolf whistles from the
crowd. I was glad that I at least could keep my legs
together. I knew they could see very little of my vulva
with all that pubic hair down there and thighs close
together.
The guard bent me over a bench atop the stage, with my
buttocks toward the crowd, my back horizontal at
approximately eye level for the crowd, and my feet well
apart. I was secured in this obscene posture by various
devices. Looking over my shoulder I could make out the
faces of the first couple of rows of spectators.
Several of the men were smirking at my predicament. I
was quite certain those in the first two or three rows
could see not only my bare ass but also my labia,
clitoral hood and pubic hair between my legs. It seemed
particularly degrading to be forced to put on such a
display while restrained in such a demeaning posture. A
fat woman in this posture would show little or none of
her sexual anatomy because her fat thighs and fat ass
cheeks would mercifully conceal those parts. But I,
with my so slender thighs and so compact ass ovals,
knew that I would be showing everything!
I could sense every one's eyes focused on my crotch! I
started to cry! Tears streamed down my face at the
irretrievable loss of my modesty. They had all SEEN my
most intimate and sexual parts displayed for their
amusement. They could all choose to keep that vision
among their best memories for life and experience the
pleasure (at my expense) forever. I could not take any
of that vision of me back from them.
Just before I felt the searing pain they told me that
it would be my slave number that would be burned into
my flesh marking me as what I now was. I began to cry
uncontrollably as soon as i knew what they were about
to do to me. It was so degrading and so final and so
humiliating that these things were done to me in the
presence of my enemies. An instant later humiliation
was the least of my problems. I thought pain was a
stubbed toe. This pain was so intense and I screamed so
loud I felt sure that I had shattered some of the beer
glasses in the crowd. Then I was sobbing uncontrollably
not just tears but my whole body wracked with
convulsions.
Mr. Steelforth then stepped up to collect me, re-
attached his leash and placed a cape around my
shoulders as he led me away to my new life.
