I don't know when I first thought about actually doing it; about selling myself as a slave.
The world has gone into a depression worse than in the 'Dirty Thirties' of the last century. I have been out of work for months and I am close to losing my room in the dingy boarding house run by a tyrant of a woman when I saw the first ad on the TV in the common room downstairs. I thought it was the dumbest thing I had ever heard of; selling yourself to the rich as a slave just so you can survive. There was always talk about there being slavery allowed and even encouraged to get people off the streets in other cities, but not here until a few months ago. The state I live in finally legalized what has been going on for years here and across the country. An 'Indentured Sale' they call it when a person sells themselves but it is slavery plain and simple as far as everybody was concerned.
Things weren't bad until a few years ago. There were a few rich at the top with the vast middle class below it with some poor and homeless at the bottom of the scale, but now there are only the hugely rich with everyone else living on the edge or over it and sleeping on the streets.
The day I am thrown out of my room to become one of the homeless is the day I say fuck it and walk down to the office of Indentured Services. It isn't far; there seems to be one of them in every neighborhood these days.
My heart is beating a busy tattoo in my chest when I finally open the door. I know that I am going to do it. I am going to willingly sign over control of my life, my freedom, my body just to survive.
Inside, I am surprised at the soft pastel dΓ©cor of an empty room and find I am the only person there. A door across the room soon opens to let a pretty girl walk in to look at me, "Are you here to indenture yourself or are you just curious?" she asks.
I look at her with a worried yes on my face and nod my head.
"Is that a yes? You are here to indenture yourself?"
I nod yes again; afraid my voice will crack if I say anything.
She smiles at me and looks me up and down making me feel naked as I stand in the center of the room, "Are you serious about this?"
Nodding my head yes a third time I wait for some hint, some instruction as to what to do. I feel so committed to what is to come. I'd made up my mind when I opened the door to walk in and I want it over with.
"Strip," is all the girl says.
"What? Here?"
"You heard me. Strip!"
I look at the girl and then around me completely shocked at what she asks of me,
"But..."
She looks at me with almost bored eyes, "Strip or leave."
"But I don't know."
The girl looks at me and turns to go back through the door she came in. When her hand is on the door knob she says, "Did you come here to indenture yourself or not?"
I am shaking in frustration but I have to say something, anything. "Yes!" I yell too loudly.
"Strip and show me what you look like naked. Now!" The girl turns and looks at me with fiery eyes as she waits for me to move. I shuffle my feet and fumble at my belt and then at my shirt not knowing where to start. "Take your clothes off and leave them on the floor. When you are naked you will follow me inside. I know that you are for sale," the girl tells me as she stares at me as if I am already naked.
I don't know what to do now, I realize that these people mean what they say and I wonder if I can go through with what I have decided. I look at the girl and the inner door and begin to take my clothes off knowing that when I step through it I will be giving up my life as I know it.
When I am naked I look at what I have left on the floor; some second hand jeans, a T shirt and a pair of flip flops. That's all I own, I can't even afford underwear anymore.
When the girl opens the door for me I follow her in; naked and embarrassed to stand still as she sits at a desk in another room that is empty for but her desk and chair. I look around for a chair but see nothing to sit on so I stand in front of her wanting to cover myself but knowing that I shouldn't.
The girl looks up at me, "You will be silent. Do you understand? Nod your head yes if you do."
Not knowing what to do I nod yes and wait feeling so very naked in front of the girl. She looks up at me then and stares at my very shriveled cock, "Make yourself hard. Show me your erection."
I stare at her.
"Do it now."
My left hand touches my flaccid penus without me even thinking about it and I begin stroking myself. I can't believe I'm doing what I am doing. I get a little harder with each stroke until I am fully erect in front of a total stranger.
"Play with your balls and cum for me."
By now I can't stop, I reach down to hold and squeeze my balls with my free hand as I stroke my hard shaft with the other.
"Nice," the girl tells me, "Now stop!"
"What?" I ask totally embarrassed at what I am doing. I'm so close to an orgasm.
"Silence!" The girl the tells and pushes a pile of official looking papers across the desk toward me, "Sign here on the last page. You'll do."
I am out of breath, confused and committed to what I need to do and I feel so very naked as I lean over the desk to take the offered pen to sign my life away. The girl holds the papers just close enough to her that my balls drag on the desk top in front her as I stretch over to sign them .
When I am done she looks at me like a piece of meat; which I guess is what I have just become, "Good boy. We get so few males. Now walk through the door behind me and obey the man there. You are now ours to sell to the highest bidder at the next auction which is tomorrow."
In a daze I look at the girl at the desk and then walk past her to the door she had showed me. The thought that I have just signed my freedom away wilts what little hardness I have left as I enter my new life as an indentured man, a slave, a male with no name. I don't know it but it will be a very long time before I am allowed to wear anything close to proper clothes again.
"Ah, a male," the man I see says when I walk into the next room. He looks at my crotch, "Lets get you waxed."
"What?" I ask.
This is too much too fast and I am very frightened. The man moves to stand close in front of me and grabs my cock and balls to hold them tight enough to make me wince, "I own these," he tells me as he squeezes me hard. "Now, do you remember being told to be silent?"
I look up at eyes that don't care and nod my head yes.
