Preface-- Garden Grove’s Mission

“Wait, wait, say that again,” Dr. Herbert Spencer, M. D., was confused.  Alex had just told him that he would not need his help in Garden Grove .  “You don’t want my help?  What did you do, you found someone else?  What the fuck Alex.”

 

“My dear friend,” Alex began, “please, calm down, let me explain.  That was a poor choice of words.  Let me start again, from the beginning.”

 

Spencer gave him an impatient look but then calmed and sat down in the chair opposite.  The two friends were in an ad-hoc ‘ Command Center ’ here in the newly formed Garden Grove .

 

Alex templed his fingers, pushing them together and taking a breath, he then relaxed and began:

 

“Herbert, this is going to be a different sort of operation, er, place.  By operation I mean this whole thing, Garden Grove , I don’t mean surgical.”  Herbert nodded at him impatiently but allowed him to continue with no interruption:

 

“We get girls in, we want to train them, teach them, think of this sort of like a school, a training center, a place to raise these young girls up so that they can meet the standards you and I, and our friends, have for them.”

 

“You never mentioned this before,” Spencer said, slightly accusingly.

 

“My dear friend I invite you to visit the whole facility, there are no secrets here, at least, being kept from you anyway.”  Alex gave him a conspiratory wink.

 

“What’s wrong with Cherish?” Spencer asked.

 

“Nothing,” Alex slapped his knee, “nothing my friend, that’s just it.  Nothing is being replaced, this is like an extra factory in a large business.  I know it is new and strange but it is just part one of an eventual expansion.”

 

“You mean there’s more?”

 

“Don’t get ahead,” Alex chided, “no, there’s not more, there will be, but for now the main focus of our resources is here, on this place, Garden Grove , getting it up and running.”

 

“But doesn’t that mean you’ll need my help?” Spencer was still confused.

 

“Yes, of course,” Alex was trying not to rush, he wanted to be as politic as he could, he didn’t mean to offend his friend, this was really simple (in Alex’s opinion) but he saw here the potential for affront if he didn’t go slowly.  “I will always need your help my friend, you are simply the best surgeon I know, you do wonders that I could never begin to comprehend.  You are indispensable in everything we do, and don’t get me wrong, you are very much a part of Garden Grove as well.”

 

“Well what then Alex?   What is the explanation for saying to me that I am not going to be of any use here?” Spencer was getting angry again.

 

“I didn’t say that Herbert,” Alex gave him a blank look, “And if it was implied I am sorry, listen:” Alex waited a moment to get Spencer’s attention.  “Here in Garden Grove we will be taking in many young women as raw materials.  We will process them and spit out fine, finished products.  Yes, I know, just like in Cherish, but, listen, there is only one of you, and there will be many, many girls coming through here.  Let me finish, how many women do you process, per day, in Cherish?”

 

“Well, do you mean just do the ‘arrival’ work on, like just tagging and prep, or do you mean actual work on, as in filling orders?”

 

“That’s fine, you can count girls you just tag and prep.”

 

“Well, on a good day, if I don’t have a series 3 with complications I would say probably about roughly a dozen, on a good day.”  Alex waited for Spencer to finish; he looked like he was contemplating adding something:  “Ok, on a bad day maybe only, if there’s a more involved patient, I only get to about three.”

 

“Ok, so three to a dozen, a dozen being a high range, but we’ll say what, an average of six a day?”

 

Herbert nodded, “Something like that.”

 

“My friend, listen to this, your time is entirely too valuable to use your numerous talents on individual cases here at Garden Grove .  I used the analogy of a factory earlier, now think of a garden, you have plants all in a row.  Now imagine if I had you walk along and weed each one of them, that would take forever right?  What I want from you instead is not your surgical expertise, but your pharmaceutical one.”

 

Ahhh,” Herbert was beginning to see the light.

 

“I am going to be raising these girls here, in vast quantities, in heaps upon heaps, well, maybe not heaps, but in far larger quantities than in Cherish.  In Cherish the emphasis is on individual orders for customers who can afford to pay a lot.  What we are doing here is not serving a client base, but rather, working on gearing up for creating a renewable source of supply to feed communities like Cherish.”  Alex took a sip of his tea.

 

“Ok, run that by me again.” Spencer was a little overwhelmed by Alex’s concepts, it all sounded fine but he wanted some specifics.

 

“Ok, listen:  Cherish might be a fluke, sure, but what if there are others that spring up, or exist already, I am talking about supplying them.  Hey, it might not happen, there might not be enough demand, but what is important is the process and the cost per unit, per woman.  What I’m saying, is that, from a time/energy perspective we want to spend considerably less per woman here than we do in Cherish, at Spencer Labs.”

 

Herbert was nodding, he was getting the idea now.

 

“And face it, kidnapping, sure it works and all, but, it’s a little crude.  Its also risky, and it increases the need for personnel in the form of retrieval teams.  Also, those guys, as they get older, will want to retire, maybe join Cherish, or what-have-you, so it increases the risk of exposure.  What we need is to tighten up the operation, so, what I’ve done here, in Garden Grove , is design what I feel is the, from a cost/benefit point of view, the single-best form of business for our resources and skill set.”

 

“So, what you’re saying is . . .” Spencer began.

 

“We’re going to corner the market on fresh female flesh.”  Alex smiled.

 

“So, Garden Grove , this ‘growing station,’ we sort of just monitor their progress and wait for buyers?”

 

“Yup, that’s right Spence, you and I are going to be more administrators here than sculptors.  Now, one thing that means is less body modification per unit:  Actually, optimally, none.  Time spent in surgery is your time, and we want to limit the usage of either of our time.”

 

“Ok, so, even if I much prefer getting my hands on a woman in surgery, I can see how this place is ‘in addition to’ the work I do at Cherish.  We’re not relocating so much as expanding our operation.”

 

Alex finished his toast in one large bite.  He crunched on it, “Exwacthly,” he said, between bites.

 

--

 

The following week Alex finished his ‘test run’ of the Grove facility.  He brought in three of his own personal stock from Cherish as well as a client’s order, ‘Gloria’, to be used as test subjects [See the story entitled ‘ Garden Grove ’.]

 

Now, since all four of those test subjects had responded perfectly to the trial sample of the ‘Renew’ formula Spencer had put together, more permanent facilities had been established and the girls had been taken back so that the processing of ‘real’ raw recruits could begin:

 

Today the ‘growing’ at the Grove would be started in earnest, with new arrivals coming in just in time for their first lessons in the newly fashioned classrooms.  Alex had arranged the ‘classrooms’ (really modified stalls) for new arrivals.  There were more classrooms waiting empty for those arrivals to graduate to the second tier in the education process.  After two weeks they would move to the third tier and then be ready for graduation.

 

This first ‘crop’ coming in was being put in the beginner’s classroom now.

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1—New Arrivals

“Over here we have new arrivals.”  Alex was giving a tour of the completed facilities to Spencer.  Things were up and operational now and Alex was brining more tenders in to handle the day-to-day operations.  He was now supervising three teams of ‘Gardeners.’

 

--

 

Room 1:  ‘Pruning’

 

Alex and a Spencer watched through one-way glass as they walked along a hallway that ran along the rooms.  Each room was a part of the ‘assembly line’ approach Alex was taking with the mass manufacturing project that was Garden Grove .

 

“The new arrivals have to be pruned first, and prepared for soil.”  Spencer watched through the window as the girl struggled with the staff member in charge of Pruning.  The man had her by her waist and he was tying her arms behind her back.  After securing her he brought out an eye dropper.  He placed the dropper next to the girl’s eye and, despite her squirming, squeezed a few drops of ‘Renew’ into each of them.  The ‘gardener’ went back over to the supplies and got out a short length of string and a pair of gardening shears.

 

He waited until the girl had settled down a bit, watching her eyes for dilation until she was totally drugged.  “‘Renew’ is a drug out of Spencer Labs that slows down thinking and speeds up saliva production and libido,” Alex explained to the staffer.

 

When she was good and dumb, when drool started to spill out of her mouth, the gardener seized her long flowing hair in his hand and twisting it tautly in his grip.  A moment later he put the string around it and tied the bundle of dark hair tightly.

 

He maneuvered the shears in his other hand, holding the string’s end in his teeth, until he had the bundle steady and his hands still.  Focusing for a moment the shears snipped and the majority of her hair fell to the floor.

 

Next he took out a pair of scissors and began trimming the remaining growth.  After pruning it back to an acceptable length for a new recruit (some shocks of hair remained but mostly it had been all removed except for what a razor would be needed for) he freed her from her bondage and then helped her stand.

 

She was able to follow his lead as he led her to the next room and stood her up against a wall.  She was then left to stand, dumbly, in this small closet-like space.  The gardener went back to the table, closing the door behind him, and brushed the hair off.  He went to the opposite side of the room, to the door marked ‘IN’ and put his handling gloves on:

 

He gritted his teeth and then opened the door, having to subdue a frenetic and scrambling young woman who had been poised on the other side in anticipation of attacking him.

 

-

 

She was naked and scared, and he was practiced, ready, and strong; within moments he had wrested her to the table where he strapped her down and then slipped the tough leather gloves off so that he could pick-up the ‘Renew’ and a stopper.

 

He positioned the stopper next to her eye and then squeezed a few drops into it.  A moment later he repeated this process in her other eye.  He waited for her to settle down before going over to the wall and getting some water . . .  Every few hours he took a break.

 

--

 

 

Room 2: ‘Dressing.’

 

The two supervisors, Alex and Spencer, walked along the hallway, watching the girls under the expert ministrations of the processing team of gardeners.  This was the first team to handle the girls once they arrived, they would prepare the girls for the classroom.

 

In the small closet space the newly pruned girl had been placed in several bodies were squirming.  It was dark with the door closed.  Some of the girls were still ‘Renewed’ and simply stood, dumbly, while others had started to overcome the initial dose and were clamoring, slightly drugged.  There were about a half dozen girls cramped into the small space.

 

A few moments later the door opened and the least drugged of the girls, the one who had been in there the longest, stumbled towards the light.  She felt relieved to be out of the space.  A moment later she was grabbed by the tender of that room and the door was closed upon the second girl to start moving towards the exit.

 

“Normally there won’t be this many girls waiting in the closet space here, but we’re still training the staff and some are more adept at their assigned jobs then others.  Still, the space can accommodate up to a dozen bodies and, in an emergency, we have an ‘eyewash’ shower installed above that will rain ‘Renew’ down on them.  Its strictly an emergency sort of thing though, and we’re not counting on it 100%, since it’s not guaranteed to be effective, but its there just in case.”

 

Spencer nodded after Streuth finished talking.  He was watching the scene in the second room.

 

The gardener had grabbed the stumbling girl and thrust her into a chair.  The first thing he had done was grab an eye-dropper and Renew her.  Next he grabbed a slight amount of special clothing for her to wear.  Great pains were taken to make this whole process as cost effective as possible and thus the material of the clothing was a threadbare bio-degradable plant material, almost vine-like in composition.

 

The gardener tied her hands behind her back and then wrapped some of the vine around her neck to fashion a collar which he looped down around her to slip between her legs.  He pulled the cord tight between her netherlips, checking for chafing, before tying it off to the armbinds.  He could now tug on the slight measure of slack in the vine running down her front, between her breasts it ran, from her neck down to her twat, and he could pull her along after him.  Being recently Renewed she should respond to the slightly painful pull on her pussy and walk forward to alleviate it.

 

He tested it, pulling lightly on the viney-string.  She took a step forward after him, he pulled harder to test the give and the knots and then led her across the room to the next closet storage area.  He went back over to the corded material, measured and cut the next lengths needed and then went over to open the door.

 

The next girl stumbled out into his arms.  He grabbed her and then shut the door on the next one trying to get out.  He brought the new girl over to the middle of the room and prepared to dress her as well.

 

 

Room 3: ‘Planting’

 

“Now that they’re dressed and groomed they’re ready for class.  The ‘Renew’ works wonderfully but it is temporary and not as reliable as good old-fashioned behavioral training.  What we do is we put the girls in the classrooms and then subject them to repeated lessons until they start to forget who they were.  We have to secure them first because we can’t actually teach them when they’re under the effects of ‘Renew,’ they get too dumb, or at least, it would take forever to teach them if we had them drugged while we did it, and, heh, they tend to try to run away if we don’t’ secure them first before lessons.”

 

Spencer smirked.  He was glad to see his new pharma was being put to good use.

 

-

 

The girls in the second storage closet, who had just been recently dressed, and who were still sporting the ragged hair from the first room, were also slowly coming out from under the effects of the Renew.

 

The third gardener, the planter, didn’t need to open a door, the girls could simply wander forward, bound, when they started to come out of the effects of the drug.  They were still fine-tuning just how diluted of a formula to use during this initial processing, and thus were erring on the side of caution.  Results were what was important now, speed could be improved upon after several successful ‘harvests.’

 

As a girl came out of the ‘Renew’ haze, she noticed that it was dark.  The third room was kept intentially dim, to better adjust the girl’s eyes to the classrooms.  As she walked forward hesistantly the gardener grasped her cord and pulled her after him.  She followed, somewhat nervously.  As they continued their walk, down, down, down a long passage, into an underground room, the girl began to get her wits about her somewhat.

 

As had happened before, and the gardener was waiting for it, the girl balked at about the third sequence of rooms they had passed.  It had been easier before, as the classrooms had been empty and could be filled earlier.  Now that the first ones had filled up they had to walk farther to get to the yet vacant ones.  Still, the timing could be worked on, and this gardener had a dropper on him in case the girl caused too much trouble.  It wasn’t that he couldn’t coerce her, it was simply more efficient to either ignore her or drug her.

 

In the end he opted to drag her the last couple of feet.  He would not do this often, for he did not want to tax himself, but he helped her along to her classroom:

 

They were underground now, the air was damp, the earth was soft.  This area had been dug out the week before and the ‘classrooms’ installed only a few days later.  The environment was not cool, not warm, but consistent, with no wind or influxes of air to change it.  Since the environment favored organic material, Streuth had opted not to install metal, since it would rust and corrode.

 

The air would be kept clean by a favorable ratio of Co2 converting underground plants which had been arranged every few feet to keep oxygen in the air.  Some meters did monitor the oxygen and, if needed, tanks were on standby in case the air became too stale.

 

The classroom itself was a mound of packed earth, arranged to accommodate the girl.  A second gardener stood nearby to aid in the task of planting her, and he maintained a vigil on the girls in this room as well.  He was a teacher as well, and once this room was fully planted he would begin his lessons.

 

The teacher was rather eager, as this was his first class, and the room had already received a few occupants.

 

The now terrified girl did everything she could to resist the two men as they positioned her body in the space.  She was, in a sense, being selectively buried alive.  She was guided into the hollow space in the packed earthen walls, so that they hugged her loosely.  The loose space would be filled with loose dirt, once her head was positioned properly.

 

The two men began sealing her in, oblivious to her now clear voice as it pleaded and yelled.  The first gardener, the one who had to haul the girls up this way, took a break to wipe his brow and then rest before heading back to get the next one.  He would fill up a few more rooms and then take his break so that the next man could relieve him.

 

The teacher made sure the girl was loosely packed, he didn’t want to cut off her circulation, before standing back and observing.  She struggled, and managed to loosen her right arm.  He nodded and leaned in to pack that area better.  He had shoved a wadded cloth into her mouth to quiet her until he was ready to hook her up to her curriculum.

 

“Okay,” he said to himself.  He watched, seeing her eyes staring pleadingly up at him.  She struggled some more but was unable to loosen herself.  He nodded again, she was ready this time.  Packed but loose she would be stuck there but would be able to wiggle a bit to avoid damage to her body’s skin or muscles from prolonged cramps.

 

“Alright, now to get you hooked up to lesson 1.”

 

The teacher opened up his satchel and pulled out a helmet-like contraption.  It was still new and had that ‘just manufactured’ smell as he admired its contours and then brought it forward to check it for sizing.  It was made of black rubber and meant to go over her head.  It would not cover her head completely, but rather left her eyes, nose, and mouth free, as well as leaving the top of her head free.  The rubber would hug the sides of her head, like an extended turtleneck almost.

 

Fastening the helmet onto the girl’s head the teacher stood back afterwards and admired the view.  She now looked like a potted plant, except for the obvious exception of her eyes, which stared soulfully back at him, and her nose and mouth.  He admired her for a few moments though, looking back down the tunnel to see if the other man was coming back anytime soon.  He was on schedule though, since it was such a long walk.

 

He knew it was wrong but he reached forward and shoved his fingers up to the girl’s nose, cutting off her breath.  She tried sucking air in around the wadded cloth in her mouth but only managed to get it in spurts.  The teacher giggled and then put his other hand up to her mouth, cupping it, and only letting air in after a few moments.  The girl’s eyes bugged open in strain.

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1—Re-Education

 

Alex knocked on the one-way glass and it startled the teacher, who obviously hadn’t expected to have someone watching through the glass.  Streuth pushed a ‘talk’ button down and then spoke into the room, chiding the man for his infraction.  The teacher looked embarrassed, and released the girl.  The teacher turned towards the wall and made an apologetic bow in Spencer and Streuth’s direction.

 

“Once we get the tenders thinking that we are watching them all the time,” Alex mused, “then we can leave them unsupervised more often.”  Spencer nodded.  “But it’s important that they don’t take liberties, as it interferes with the education the girl’s are receiving.  The main impetus here is their isolation, the fact that they are alone and helpless.  We need them to feel dependent on the men without the men interacting with them much.  If the men start to play games with them, like this one here just did, it fosters an unnecessary relationship and actually damages the value of the girl.  If we are going to take her to market later we will get the most value from a blank but attentive mind.”  Spencer nodded again.

 

“Alex…” Spencer began, “This is all well and good, but, can’t we get around all this just by keeping them on ‘Renew’ all of the time?”

 

“Yes Herbert,” Alex had a twinkle in his eye as he responded, he had been prepared for this question, “of course we could, but the results would not be the same.  First off, the people we are going to sell our harvests to will want permanent training, not temporary solutions…”  Alex stopped for a second, realizing something else for the first time, “But we could sell them some that are untrained, for less maybe, and then we could sell them the drug repeatedly for a greater profit…”  He stopped to ponder that idea.  “No,” he reasoned, “if they get the drug they could synthesize their own, and, heh, there’s no way we could enforce a patent.”

 

Spencer chuckled.  “No my friend, I don’t think the US Government would back us up in that regard.”

 

The two turned back to the newly ‘planted’ girl.

 

-

 

“Ok,” Alex explained, “what he’s doing now is hooking up the curriculum to the helmet’s, the potter’s, ports.  Her eyes are accessible through the  potter, as is her nose, and her mouth.  We put reward stimuli on the end of the goggles he is hooking up now, an image of the girl herself imposed on a safe and comforting environment:  The picture shows her sitting in front of a fire, fully dressed, opening a present.”

 

Spencer nodded.

 

“Now the goggles don’t show the picture, but with the right stimuli the image is revealed, through an electric pulse:  Like those opaque mirrors that you run electricity through and they go transparent.”

 

Spencer nodded.

 

“Ok, so we put the first curriculum in her mouth, a feeding tube molded on a man’s penis,” Streuth grinned a bit as he said this, since both he and Spencer knew that it was molded from Alex’s penis, now initially all that she has to do to earn her reward, a moment’s look at the image, is to lick the tube, which, coincidentally, will also give her a few drops of the sweet nutrient supplement inside.”  Alex handed Spencer a small tube, about the size of a tube of toothpaste, as a sample.

 

Spencer squirted some of the liquid paste out onto his hand and sniffed it.

 

“It has 100% vitamins/minerals, with about 1500 calories per tube.  We mix it with water and fill the phallus.  You will note that the feeding tube she has is much larger than that sample tube you have there, and the overlarge testicles serve as reservoirs.”

 

Spencer licked the paste a bit, and noted that it had a pleasant, if slightly nutty, taste to it.

 

“Ok so she starts to lick from the feeder, she is rewarded, and she is kept fed.  Now, if she does not lick, then the apparatus, which he is attaching to her nose right now, will trigger her punishment.  After five minutes if the feeder does not register a lick the girl’s air supply is cut off for thirty seconds.  This continues but if she holds out for longer then the punishment kicks in sooner, with increasing frequency until eventually she is only allowed air for five seconds every thirty seconds or until she licks.”

 

Spencer made an appreciative expression with a sort of half-frown in response to this explanation.

 

“Now obviously this is the crudest form of the education, and, as I said, it is curriculum one.  She stays on it for two days after which time she graduates to curriculum two.”

 

Spencer watched the girl, who had been finished with and who now sat alone in silence.  The cloth gag had been replaced by the feeding ‘harness,’ the phallic rubber feeder was positioned very close to her mouth, but not actually in it.  A clear plastic ‘holder-pipe’ secured it to her mouth, so that she could choose not to lick it if she wanted.  She could easily see what the feeder resembled because of the plastic’s transparency.  Additionally, any sounds that she made would be muted by the plastic holder.

 

She stared at the gross feeder in front of her, unsure of what was expected of her, but with a dawning apprehension for her situation.  She could see down, to the feeder, but not in front of her, as the ‘reward’ image was opaque at the moment.  She could not see up as her view in that direction was covered by black rubber, as was her peripheral vision.  All that she could do was look straight, at the grey block ‘image’ in front of her, and down towards her feeder.

 

She waited in silence for an eternity.  After what seemed like forever she heard muted sounds of a scuffle and then the light vibrations of dirt being moved near her.  She looked down and to the sides, at the small patches of dirt floor that she could see off to the sides of the feeder:  She saw nothing.

 

Then, minutes later she saw a man wearing work boots walking back to the right.  She breathed and waited, waited and breathed.  Her breath was cut off for a long while but then she was able to gasp air again.  In actuality it had only been thirty seconds of lack but she had not been ready for it and had had no breathe to hold.

 

Awhile later, before her second gasp, a man walked past, he was wearing work boots, the same man, walking in the other direction, and he was dragging a barefoot girl behind him.  She was trying to drag her feet on the floor as he marched her past.  A few moments later she heard another scuffle, this one further away, and then very gentle vibrations.

 

She was starting to measure time by these lacks of air, and she was losing track of time at the same time.  She was scared that she was going to die.  Surely this was some form of torture, this slow dragging out.  She was worried they meant to suffocate her over a long period of time.  She started taking larger breathes when she could, gulping in air and hoarding it, trying to guess when the next choke might come.

 

After her head started to feel dizzy and her air supply felt so tight she noticed that (due to the pressure difference in the ‘suit’ now) the feeder was starting to bead a small bit of its food.  She shuddered in disgust at the sight of it, it looked exactly like pre-cum oozing out of a cock.  As she watched the bead grew into a drip, then a fat drip, and, in her headiness, looking at the liquid, fixated on it, convinced that here she was, choking to death, she acted on perverse impulse, exercising the only form of control available to her at that moment:

 

She reached her tongue out in sheer perverse curiosity and impulse and licked the head.  Immediately she felt the sweet taste on her tongue, felt cool, fresh air rushing in to meet her, and saw a comforting image of herself, snug and safe in a warm place unwrapping a present flash in front of her eyes.

 

Then it was gone, half a second later.  She thought she imagined it.  She looked down, the bead of ‘milk’ was gone, actually it had tasted sort of like cream, but, she wasn’t sure.  Still, it had been good, she must not have imagined it if she could still remember how it had tasted . . .

 

It had tasted good, she thought, and she was thirsty…  What could it hurt?  As long as she knew that no one could see her, she scanned the ground beside her . . .  No one would know, and hey, they were going to kill her anyway, right?  She might as well try to enjoy herself in the meantime . . .  She reached her tongue out and licked the feeder:

 

She was rewarded again, and she smiled a bit in response.  This wasn’t so bad, I mean, once she let herself go and resigned herself to her fate . . .  She closed her eyes and breathed a bit, relaxing herself.  A few moment’s later she panicked and screamed, screaming with all her might, wriggling inside her earthen prison as well as she could . . .

 

She struggled and panted for five full minutes, wearing herself out in the process, until the air choke began again.  She panicked and tried to gulp but was so nervous she was going crazy with the exertion.  She held her breathe until her cheeks bulged but then relaxed a bit as the air came back.  She sighed, it was no use.  She was stuck here…  She figured she might as well try again though…  She wacked her head back and forth, side to side, trying to free herself, and then crying.  It was no use, she was stuck here.

 

She cried and then started to laugh, suddenly giddy, she couldn’t breathe but she didn’t care, if she was going to die she was going to die…

 

And then she became calm, still...  If she was going to die then that’s all there was to it, there was no more worry left, no more fear.   She reached her tongue down and licked it again, feeling the sweet taste, seeing the comforting image, breathing the refreshing air.

 

Then, after a moment of smugness, she decided to lick it as fast as she could, see if she could keep that image in front of her, escape through her mind.

 

-

 

As the teacher came by the girl at the station he had planted only twenty minutes earlier he noted on his clipboard the number of licks made so far, the number of punishments administered, and then, pleasantly surprised, reached into his satchel and replaced the left testicle-cannister on the feeder—it had already been drained:  He marked an ‘A’ in the grading column.

Epilogue

“Good, very good,” Alex was going over the numbers.  “We’ve got a steady stream of new bodies, and revenue is up, but, what would really help is if we were able to lower the cost of recruitment.”

 

He and Spencer thought about it for a few moments.  “The way I see it,” Spencer said, taking his glasses off, “we keep taking plants in, putting them in the soil, and then they get sold almost right away, we aren’t left with anything.”

 

“But there’s profit,” Alex argued.

 

“Yes,” Spencer said, “but it would be much easier if we could grow the plants here, that way we save on the cost of bringing them…”

 

“More profit!” Alex concluded.

 

“Exactly,” Spencer put his glasses back on.  The two of them started thinking bigger, more of a vertical systems integration, handling product manufacture as well as growth.

 

“We’ll need more classrooms,” Alex said, “to accommodate younger students, nurseries really, and nurses!”

 

“We’ll need a team of watchers, monitors, caretakers, who can observe without direct contact.”

 

“And this will take time my friend, this won’t be as quick, and will require some investment.”

 

“But imagine the benefits,” Spencer was saying now, “women without preconceptions, we will be able to continue pure research, without the hassles of environment.”

 

Alex mused, “Well, yes, female studies will benefit from raw recruits.  Okay, let’s do it.”

 

Later that month the nursery wing would open.

Standard Closing:  This is fantasy, this should not be enacted, the ideas and action expressed herein are for fantasy enjoyment.  None of these ideas or actions belongs outside of the realm of fantasy:  A lot of what happens in these stories is violent (it might not be ‘hot’ violence, like striking someone, but reducing a person physically/mentally is a form of ‘cold’ violence) and violence in any form is wrong.  What makes these stories so elegant is that thinking about violence is okay, and, in fact, limiting a person’s right to think would be, again, ‘cold’ violence.

 

In other words, ‘Don’t try this at home.’
