Click hereHe would not say anything more and left the room. I took my time washing my hands so it did not appear we had been talking. I don't think Amanda and Mom would have noticed. They were engaged in a conversation with a couple other mothers whose kids had graduated. I heard the word party when I got close. I sat back down and finished my dessert and coffee.
When we returned home, Mrs C announced she was going to her room in the cottage out back. She gave Sheila a hug and congratulated her again. Crystal and I were in the kitchen getting beer and wine for everybody when she came through. "Good luck, Dave." she said. "I think you are gonna need it. Crystal, don't come out to see me tonight. Leah might need somebody." I think Mrs C was a wise old woman. She might be fully willing to use a slave but she had a soft side for them too.

Leah is key in this episode. She foreshadows the effect that slavery has on society at large. And not just the slave. As for Shelia, as a reader I’d delight if she were caned. But a good old fashioned OTK spanking might be more appropriate. Still, five stars.
I normally avoid going into politics on this site, but I have a couple of observations that seem on topic.
I grew up during the flowering of prison reform during 60/70s (with mixed results), and the backlash of the 80/00s (when no politician would suffer by being too tough on crime, and things like 3 strike laws becoming common). Personally I'm results oriented; pushing to reduce crime in the first place (beyond the "stick" of threatened hard sentences), and redivicism afterwards. I find the punishment-only focus to be determental to society when viewed in the big picture.
The other goes to empathy and the differences between typical liberal and conservative personalities (worldwide, this isn't specific the USA). Conservative tend to treat people outside the "tribe" with less empathy then liberals. If one of "us" does something bad, they are an exception (bad apple). If one of "them" does something bad, all the rest of "them" are suspect too. And then we get legal systems based on punishing "them", not one of "us". And we only realize how harsh the legal system can be when one of "us" gets subjected to it.
For a real life example, look at the people complaining about the treatment of Jan-6 prisoners in Washington DC prisons. They didn't care about the atrocious prisons when it was just "them" being maltreated. But when the same things happened to one of "us", the usual maltreatment turns into a conspiracy theory.
I found Leah's comment (mental abuse is really the point) to be thought provoking, and wonder what that means in-story (though we start to get some idea later in the chapter, and more in later chapters I'm sure).
But looking at fictional world perspective it makes sense some percentage of people believe that. Slavery is it replacement for prison, and IRL there are a significant chunk of the country who feel prison is all about punishment - full stop. They don't care about reform (often exaggerating failures), or making it more difficult to reintegrate the former felon into society. They are fine with long term solitary confinement, despite the mental damage it does. Punishment!!!
But it is the rare family member that wants pure punishment meted out to their own family and friends. Even when they have rage and feel betrayed. And that's the tension in this story. Family carrying out societal expectations with out properly thinking about the likely results.
An answer to the poster who said it would take 1250 more chapters: at the start, Dave thinks back that he's been enslaved for 3 weeks and four days already. Coupled with the week covered here, that means that it will only be about 320 chapters total. Which is still quite a lot, admittedly, especially if there's some kind of epilogue telling of Dave's first day of being manumitted.
I do wonder about the two or four years, though. Is there the possibility of early release, as in the other two story arcs is mentioned? If so, then he could be free in a year. If not, then the 4 years is the standard sentence he got, and the 2 years would be the possible (but by no means certain) early release. If he does only have to serve a year, then this could be finished in under 80 chapters, assuming the author skips a few days now and then. Plus, of course, the epilogue, which could consist of no more than: "Then I (ie. Dave) walked off into the sunset, leaving my former family behind forever."
Another question which I started wondering about while reading this is: what about pregnant slave girls? I know they can't be impregnated during their slavery because of plot armor (a convenient implant), but pregnancy can be a preexisting condition. Allegedly.
A little more than a week of time in the story Dave has made some progress towards his mother’s goal of becoming more mature wiser and able to think ahead about consequences of his decisions. We hear Dave’s inner thoughts so we know he has not changed only restrained by the collar and threat of punishment.
Amanda is correct for the wrong reason. She desires to dominate and break any man and a male slave is the perfect toy for her to play with. Unrestrained Amanda would break Dave if she could.
Dave needs more of his dignity and immaturity stripped away. Letting Sheila totally humiliate Dave at the party would be a good experience for Dave. The author’s society accepts slaves being sexually abused. And there are the wonderful government programs and therapists to help freed slaves reintegrate to society.
So an 18 years old woman changes her mind every 5 minutes. Sheila can be written to go forth with her plan at the party. Dave has 4 years to accept and deal with his slave life.
Sandra has not shown the ability to love Dave only punish him for mistakes.
Bob’s character was written as a POS. None of the comments have had sympathy on him. Before he was enslaved his wife cuckolded him with Amanda and possibly other women. After Bob returned from Slave Camp Sandra and Amanda take Bob on a trip and torture and humiliate him. He whines about Sandra threatening to bring other men or slave boys home and make Bob watch her have sex with them. Then Sandra apologized and promised no other men. Oh except slave Dave. Author has not revealed how Bob feels about that. This chapter Gamblnluck had Amanda put Bob in chastity during graduation. He is divorced and slavery is the ultimate cuck experience.
Thanks for your comment. Don't envy the task in trying to tie this up to a suitable ending so quick? Or stopping point? You've potentially developed and added even more interpersonal conflicts that I cannot see how you are going to resolve them. Will look forward to the next chapter(s) to see which way you take it. Will quit predicting or prognosticating cause everything so far has not been in your universe. Like to see what happens with Sheila and Dave Saturday night and the party Sunday and how you can end the story line. Know what I would like to see / read, hasn't happened yet but still hoping. Guess this is what you mean by a story readers love to hate. LOLOL. Keep it up. Always at least read stories from authors who write well.
