When Jill returned home from the farm tour, she immediately checked her emails. As promised, she found the email with the attached contract from Madam Serena. Tense, she opened the document. For a contract, it was very easy to read. The language was very clear and straightforward. The contract simply demanded total submission:
The signatory gave up all independence during the four-week period. The only option was to resign, even non-verbally. Four long, loud signals in the form of "MMMMMMMMMPFF MMMMMMMMMPFF MMMMMMMMMPFF MMMMMMMMMPFF" would indicate that the signer had given up all ambitions. Apart from this exit clause, no resistance or autonomy was allowed -- specifically: residence, clothing, food, performance, sexual intercourse, punishment, privacy, hygiene. The contract didn't leave any loopholes.
The signatory gave up all rights voluntarily and explicitly. The contract guaranteed physical and mental health. No permanent damage would be done, and each participant would be treated according to his or her physical limits. Jill had to read it several times. If she hadn't been on the farm tour, she wondered why on earth anyone would ever sign such a document. On the other hand, she had seen the hustle and bustle of farm life, which had seemed idyllic to her.
If it weren't for the exit clause, she thought she would never sign. She just couldn't ignore the rational voice in her head. On the other hand, there was the emotional part of her: 'I want to start on this farm as soon as possible! What the hell are you waiting for?!'
She knew she had a submissive personality, which was the main reason she wanted the farm tour in the first place. So she printed out the ten-page contract and signed it with a trembling hand. 'Let's get this over with and put it in the post.'
From that point on, Jill fantasised about what life on the farm would be like for her. What exactly would they do to her? Would it be too hard to bear? She couldn't remember too much from what she had seen of the ponies on the tour. Four weeks was a long time and she had seen for herself that the ponies had not been spared. They had to work hard. She remembered her gym membership and started training straight away. 'I have to be physically fit or I'll embarrass myself.' Madam Serena had talked about strength and endurance, and that was an important hint.
Jill wasn't really out of shape, but she was definitely out of training. She packed her gym bag and headed for her favourite gym. There she changed into her sexy sportswear. There was not much material to show off her beautiful body. She couldn't help but think that soon she wouldn't need any clothes at all. Training in the gym was different for her. She didn't notice much of the other people in the gym, she was constantly distracted by the farm. The only thing she noticed was that she had to concentrate on her training, especially as she realised her current lack of fitness. After an hour she was completely exhausted and called it a day. This was not a good sign. 'Oh no, I have to improve a lot!'
Four days later, a letter arrived from the farm. Jill was stunned when she saw it in her mail. Still standing at the letterbox, she tore open the envelope and her eyes flew across the letter. Her collection day was only 9 days away! That was way too soon to finish her training. On the other hand, she had hardly slept in the last four days and could not concentrate on anything during the day. Her mind kept wandering back to the farm and her signed contract, so if she started there soon, she wouldn't have to endure so much longer. Her stomach was churning and her head was spinning, so she returned to her flat and sat down to digest the news. It contained detailed instructions for her collection date. On Friday she was to have a full body waxing. On Saturday morning she was to be ready at 6. She was to be on standby, showered, no make-up, no jewellery, no pendants. She was not allowed to eat breakfast because many candidates get so nervous they vomit. And she was reminded that there was no getting out, that she would definitely be taken to the farm for four weeks.
Knowing her personal pick-up date only made her more nervous. She could barely sleep at night and was in a dreamy state all day. She couldn't remember much about her everyday life. And it didn't matter much to her. The waiting seemed endless. She felt some improvement during her daily visits to the gym, but it didn't seem to be enough to calm her doubts. Then there were the general doubts about whether this was really the right thing for her. She felt that she had made a completely crazy decision that she would soon deeply regret. And every day these feelings grew stronger.
Jill could barely eat, she could not concentrate on anything, she was a wreck. When there were only three days left, she thought she couldn't take it any more. She was surprised to find that somehow another 24 hours had passed and there were only 2 days left. Then, miraculously, another 24 hours had passed and it was already Friday, the day before her pick-up on Saturday. She went through the instructions again and again because she couldn't concentrate on anything else.
Sleep was out of the question. She spent her last free night in front of the TV, watching whatever senseless programme was on, without noticing much. Like a nervous tiger, she often got up and walked around in circles, only to return to the television when she felt tired. The clock was ticking far too slowly and the night seemed endless.
Jill was more than prepared, and finally the clock showed some mercy by approaching 6 a.m. Just as the clock confirmed that her agonising wait was finally over, her doorbell rang. The sound hit her like a bolt of lightning. Her heart raced; she could feel the heartbeats in her head. Her face flushed and she approached the door on shaky legs.
Like a robot, she opened the door more automatically than consciously. Two middle-aged men in overalls stood outside. They didn't seem to notice or care that she was naked. They were carrying a large wooden box on a trolley. The box was marked 'handle with care' and 'live animals'. There were small holes to allow breathing. Without saying a word, they entered her flat and placed the wooden box on the floor. One man pulled a pair of handcuffs out of his pocket and handed them to Jill.
Her hands were shaking so badly that it was really difficult for Jill to cuff herself. The man said calmly, "Take your time, it is normal for our pickups to be nervous. Just take a deep breath and keep going.
Amazingly, this helped Jill to concentrate and tie herself up as expected. As soon as she was successful the other man placed a ball gag in her mouth and fastened it tightly. Once this was done, Jill entered the box as she was expected to do. The size was perfect, she was bent over on her knees and there was only a few inches of space on all sides. It was almost made to measure for her. Without warning, the black hood was pulled over her head and a strap was fastened around her neck to hold it in place. She noticed that the box was closed and placed back on the trolley.
