"Office Girl" by Parker (blackmail & white slavery) 10, 10, 9
* "Office Girl" by Parker (an210088@anon.penet.fi). The college girl has accepted a boring summer job. Someone from another company offers her a large amount of money for some survey results. She agrees to the terms, but she gets caught stealing the information. Either she must do what her superiors demand or they will report her to the police. She has become that saddest wretch of a.s.s. - the moral (or immoral) equivalent of the trapped tenant farmer or coal miner locked into the company store; she has become a sex slave. The story describes in detail some creative forms of humiliation to keep the girls ensnared in what used to be called white slavery. After I originally posted this review (consisting of the preceding paragraph), somebody asked me why I didn't object to this story, as I often do to stories that portray degradation. The reason is simple: Parker portrays this young woman as realistically degraded. He does not try to foist off on us the notion that she has somehow reached a higher level of self-actualization by letting people humiliate her. She's been seduced in a demonically clever way. That's sad, but it's also interesting; and that's what makes this a pretty good story.
