She stepped up, not needing the tentatively offered arm. She was wearing a pretty dress, cut low in the front and the back. The dress hung on spaghetti straps on her shoulders, following the contour of her body to her hips, accentuating her narrow waist, following the natural curve of her hips out until it fluttered loosely at mid thigh, highlighting her long, slender legs. Her hair came down about her bare shoulders and she wore no makeup, her clear, natural beauty shining through. She was ready for a rare night out on the town. The circular dais was about four feet across and one foot high. A large crowd had gathered around it while she followed the officer there, sensing something is happening. She could see over them down the wide pedestrian boulevard teaming with people, and far in the distance, another dais amidst the pedestrians. On the right was the busy vehicular boulevard, and on the left, fancy shops, their upper stories overhanging the dais. This was the place to be in the City. The officer put away her purse, wrist watch and heels in a compartment in the dais and detached a device from the side, activating its measuring laser, guiding the beam from the bottom of her feet up to her shoulder then down to her wrist. As the officer entered codes on the keypad of the device, a clear box descended from its resting place below the ceiling. The crowd hushed as the box came to a stop at the appropriate height. The officer replaced the device and announced the punishments: ``Thirty minutes for littering, thirty minutes for profanity, and sixty minutes for obstructing justice.'' She took a quick glance at the officer. His expressions were solemn, impassionate. Perhaps he had some sympathy for her plight, but his sense of duty and justice shone through. He remained still, looking at her expectantly like the rest of the crowd. Though she had never even witnessed such public punishments, which were recently implemented, she knew what to do. Still, her chest heaved and fear tinkled through her body. She felt something strange in her chest, kind of a tightening, but really the manifestation of fear, anxiety, shame and guilt. She lifted her arms over her head, the hem of her dress rising slightly up her thighs. The box was low enough to touch, but she pushed her hands through the two openings a little more than shoulder-width apart. Through each opening, her hands pushed up six metal plates arranged symmetrically around the center. The center opened up into a hole among the staggered plates, expanding bigger and bigger until her hands slipped through, and the plates hinged down by gravity around the narrow of her wrists. She stopped as the plates fell around her wrists, just as her arms were about to reach full extension. The officer walked off, still on duty, but much of the stationary crowd remained. In fact, the crowd grew as people stopped near the occupied dais. Her first instinct was to pull her hands down, but as she did, pain flared around her wrists. She winced, grinding her teeth and squinting her eyes. She did not want to cry out in pain in front of all the people watching her, though she wasn't sure why. Perhaps what little that was left of her dignity was at stake, to bear it nobly. The crowd seemed to enjoy watching her suffer, and she didn't want to give them that satisfaction. There were little teeth on the metal edges circling her wrists. The plates followed her wrists down, but they came closer together as they lowered, biting into her skin, firing off nerves endings but not drawing blood. She quickly pushed her hands back up, and the pressure on her wrists eased. Her instinct was still to free her hands, though in her mind she knew she had to hold them there for her full term. If not down, then they must go up. Pushing her hands further up, the plates followed, opening up, but dropped down about her wrists before she could pull her hands out. And she stung her wrists again. The opening was nowhere large enough to allow her hands through, but the brief opening of the plates gave her wrists a false sense of freedom. She tried moving her hands sideways, to force open the plates, but the plates were hinged to only move out as they moved up, and she only managed to poke her wrists on the teeth. And turning her wrists only scraped the teeth on them. Despite her efforts, she just could not keep her hands still. They tried desperately to grasp _some_thing, but nothing solid was in reach. They can only open and close on air. Twisting and turning hurt, and pulling down or even relaxing her arms hurt even more. Moving up seemed to be the only way to loosen the grip of the plates, if only briefly, and soon she lifted her heels, after having fully extended her arms. Then she couldn't get back to her original position anymore, due to the natural tendencies of the hinged plates. She knew she was falling into the trap, but she could only hold still for so long, before hurting her wrists or moving higher. Though spasmodic, the cumulative effects raised her up to the tip of her toes and she could go no higher. Now her body was stretched taut from her toes to her wrists. The plates did nothing to hold her up, only giving her pain when she tried to relax her body. She rotated her hands and flexed her fingers. She pulled her wrists down against the biting teeth and pushed them back up. No matter what she did, her wrists stayed in place, not so much held by the plates but by their devious design. She tip-toed forward two tiny steps, then back three, trying to maintain her balance and to center herself. And on and off, the agonizing dance continued. Forward and back, forward and back, balancing, centering, stand still, stand still. And after a while, the steps began again. She looked down her body. Her cleavage was particularly prominent from her vantage point, though she knew others could still see just more than a hint of it even with her elevated position on the dais. And the gentle swell at the top of her bosom must also be noticeable. Further down, she could feel the evening breeze under her skirt, which gently swayed about her upper thighs. She felt exposed, bare from her wrists down her arms, her shoulders and neck just covered in the back by her hair, down to the top of her bosoms in front and her bra strap behind, and again bare from below her skirt at mid thigh down her legs to her toes. She normally dressed more conservatively, preferring not to show off the body people dream of, but this was supposed to be a special night out. She had started by getting a slice of pizza, deciding to eat out on the boulevard in the twilight, and then-- She could feel people looking at her, at her body, at her stationary struggles. She didn't want to look back. She looked up. Not at the wrist plates, for she had known them well enough by now. No, above the box was a screen. Though not angled correctly for someone just below it, and seeing it upside down, she could kind of make out the words. Words she knew by heart: her infractions and punishments. The littering was of the pizza going splat on the pedestrian boulevard, face down and beyond recovery. How she could have walked on, without so much as a second look, she did not know. Perhaps it's another bad habit or the general indifference that everyone seemed to share. Regardless of consequences, she made a mess and should have tried to clean it up, even if she's not dressed for it. The profanity was a single word in response to the disaster, and the near-disaster of the pizza landing on her dress. She always felt certain words are appropriate as expletives, but perhaps not in public, out loud. The obstruction was for trying to get out of it--another generic bad habit--not very hard, though--she would never try to flirt out of citations, even if she is dressed for it, but-- She could feel the tip of her hair swinging about her bare shoulders. She could feel the breeze under her skirt up her thighs to her panties. Her muscles ached, in her toes bent to hold her weight, in her arches, up her calves and thighs, in her shoulders, in her arms, and of course around her wrists. She had lost her sense of time. How long had it been? How long does she have left? She did not trust any impressions that came to her. Now and then, she counted to herself, but knew she'll never reach the thousands, even if she knew how much time is left. She desperately wanted to ask someone for the time, but perhaps she needed to suffer in silence. She again looked over the gathered crowd. What were they really watching? Not the sympathetic ones; they knew it's best to offer silent support then let her be; but the shocked ones, the ones curious about what's happening, the ones seeing justice served, the jeering ones, the leering ones. If anything, they're watching her suffering, watching her body. Dare one of them jump up onto the dais and-- And she looked back to what she's feeling, being watched by all these people. The tightening feeling in her chest returned. She wondered if it exited her to be so much on display. Perhaps it's like putting on the little black dress... And the suffering-- No. It hurts, and can be interpreted as nothing but punishment. She cannot possibly be one of those who embrace pain, but-- Click. The wrist plates sprang outward and swung open. Her wrists and her body dropped in the sudden release but she caught herself. She tried to work normal feelings back to her limbs while being inconspicuous. Then she stepped down the dais, gathered her things, and merged into the dispersing crowd.
