On a break.
Casper Trent to most was your common variety IT guy. His mass of curly red hair hidden beneath his deer stalker hat. A replica of that worn by Lister from Red Dwarf, one of his many nods to geek culture. As always he stopped for his morning chat with Greg the security guy who routinely made him a cup of coffee just the way he liked it before entering the slate grey building.
He arrived at his cluttered office groaning at yet more complaints from people who think a new web page takes ten minutes to make, or that new hardware is just like the kids Wii at home. Sighing he booted his laptop and PC and made the rounds of his small team, who were all goofing off as nothing could be done at nine am without seriously impacting every other department.
Many of his co-workers could never figure out why he carried on with this thankless task as upper management increased his stress levels with more demands and less work force. His solution was simple. He was a sadist, at home his wife Meg and he owned a fresh faced nineteen year old called Melody though she was normally referred to as 'bitch' or 'cunt'. She loved BDSM and was a total pain slave. After a bad day in the office he and Meg would take their frustrations out on the girl. She was just over 5'1 but her breasts screamed "whip me" just like her firm peach like ass. Best of all after each and every punishment she would thank them both and curl up at their feet.
"Morning boss man" Russ called from his corner "Big boss lady called while you were late again! Said some issue at home needs you to call her ASAP"
Casper practically ran to his phone kicking his door closed behind him. He fumbled with the handset while he dialed his wife's number from memory. "Meg I got the message is all ok?" he said breathlessly when she picked up on the first ring.
"Nothing is wrong but if I said call me it could be anytime between now and when you got home."
"Well I don't have the swanky office and a PA, Miss Big Shot lawyer. So what's up."
"I need a break." she replied sighing like a huge weight had be lifted. "Just let me talk ok."
"Sure" was all Casper could say his heart sinking and his gut feeling like some MMA fighter had used him for target practice.
"I love you as a person but as lifestylers we're drifting apart. We have grown stagnant and I can't do this anymore. I need to explore new things not just come home beat the girl then sit on the sofa and watch you on your computer as I watch some trash on the TV. So I have taken time off work and for the next 30 days we can do as we wish no comebacks. I will go try new things and you can hopefully try new things and get out of that head of yours."
"Do I have any say in this" he questioned finally as she took a breath.
"Sweetheart. I promise I have been faithful and not strayed from the promises we made to each other but if I don't try this now then we will just resent each other. You're not an easy man to figure out Casper. It's like you have a permanent poker face. It's partly why I still love you and also why I could happily run you over. I know you have no work today, I saw your work schedule. I promise what I have planned will more than make up for this shitty thing I am doing now and when I get back we will sit down and talk. Game on" Meg finished by blowing a kiss down the phone then hanging up.
Opening gambit
Casper sat in his chair the phone bleeping to put it down. His brain whirling, overloaded with information and questions. It took a moment to register the light from his personal phone flashing to indicate a message was received. In trepidation he unlocked the phone and opened the video message from his now ex wife?
