A choice of punishments?
It had been 15 years since they had started tightening up the littering laws, and for the last 7 years they had been imposing prison sentences. When my bag of shopping broke, I thought I had picked it all up, but it was just my luck that a policeman found the one cybergrape I had missed.
So now I was being offered a choice of punishments - 3 months in prison, or one month of 'public sufferance'.
I strained my head back to look up to the judge. "Please, Sir, could you tell me what public sufferance is?"
A clerk of the court whispered in my ear, "It means you have to wear a rubber suit all the time. And you should address the judge as, 'Your High Excellency'. "
I shouted up to the judge's bench, "Please, Your High Excellency, I would like to take public sufferance."
A booming voice came down from above, "You are sentenced to 1 month of public sufferance, grade 3. Take him down."
I was taken away by policemen, by hyperlift down to the Public Sufferance Chamber.
There, an officer told me, "There are various steps you need to go through in order to get you prepared. First you have to strip naked, and we can get you into the Flash Chamber."
He turned to the policemen who delivered me, and said to them, "Hey, guys, you might want to stay around to watch this, it can be an impressive sight."
I stripped off all my clothes, then was taken by the officer into a room with observation windows and large 'Fire hazard' signs on the door and walls. He pulled a lever, and the lid opened of a large vat of yellow liquid. "Get in," he said, "and make sure you get it all over your body, your head, everywhere."
I did so. The stuff was like an oily gel, and made a thin film over my body. Once I had done and got out of the vat, he sealed the vat, and pulled another lever that opened a small hole in the wall with a flame burning inside. He said, "Now go stand over by that flame."
I walked over to it, but slipped and put my hand against the wall to steady myself. The officer shouted, "No, not yet!" and ran out of the door, closing it behind him.
He spoke into a microphone from an observation window. "Close your eyes and mouth, then put your hand out to touch the flame."
As soon as I did so, I felt an instant intense burning sensation all over my body. I saw a brilliant flash, even through my closed eyelids. And then I heard applause. I opened my eyes to see all the policemen were clapping.
I looked down, and found that all the hair had vanished from my body. My head was cold, and when I touched it, there was no hair at all. Even my eyelashes had gone, and my cock looked like a baby's.
"Now for the hooding." The officer took me to another room, which had hundreds of head shapes lining the walls. Except each head had a rubber hood over it, with eyes, nose and mouth holes.
He sat me down, and pushed a button on a machine. A laser gun came down from the ceiling and buzzed around my head, zapping out a beam occasionally, even though I couldn't feel anything. A code appeared on a screen, and the officer picked out one of the hoods.
He handed me the hood and a bottle of lubricant, saying, "Put this on, and you had better make sure it's comfortable, since you'll be wearing it for a month.
I put the lubricant over my head, then started pulling the hood over my head. He stopped me, and said, "No, arms first." He pointed out two rubber straps that came down from the neck of the hood. I put my arms through them as I pulled the hood down.
Once the hood was on, the straps anchored it in place under my arms. I could see and speak okay through the hood, although it did give me some tunnel vision, and my hearing was muffled.
Next, he took me to see my full body rubber suit, but it was like no suit I'd ever seen. He had me climb up a ladder on the side of a large machine that he said had the suit inside it. At the top was a large hexagonal hole.
He said, "Climb down into the suit. You'll feel the arms and legs - make sure you get your fingers into the right holes."
I slid down the hole, into what felt like a lubricated rubber suit. But it was huge - they could have fitted another person inside it - and it seemed to have no neck hole, just the hole I was using to climb in.
I stood inside the suit, my arms barely reaching the ends of the suit arms. The officer said, "Okay, reduce the vacuum now". The suit started to get tighter, the arms got shorter, and the feet seemed to fit snugly around my feet.
The suit stopped shrinking, and the officer said, "This next part might feel a little strange." I felt something inside the suit prodding around my groin. Once it found the head of my cock, it grabbed it, then sucked my whole cock into a sheath which held it down between my legs. "Your cock will be kept securely down inside your suit, so you won't be having any fun with it for a month."
Next, something was prodding my arse. It found my hole, and pushed something hard into it. It kept pushing in, widening my hole, and when I thought it could stretch no more, it got narrower, sealing the wide part inside my rectum.
I'd never had anything like that in my arse before, but the sensation was quite a turn-on. My cock was trying to get hard, but the sheath it was in held it firmly in place. "Now you see why we get the cock secured first!"
Once the arse probe was in place, the suit continued to get tighter. It was now close fitting on my arms and legs, and pressing in to my chest and groin. The neck hole was contracting. I realised that the neck of the suit was attached to 6 curved metal pieces, which had been held apart to let me get into the suit, but now came together to form a round metal collar around my neck, preventing the suit being removed and preventing me getting at the arm loops holding my hood in place.
The suit finished contracting, a floor came up inside the machine, my arms, legs and neck were released, and I climbed out. Only then did I realise quite how tight the suit now was. There was absolutely no give in it, and it was made of thick rubber, so at first it was hard to bend my limbs. The officer said, "We have to make a 95% vacuum inside the machine to stretch the suit out so you can get into it. Now it's so tight, you'd never be able to put it on or take it off like normal clothes."
He fitted something else around my neck, then led me to a full length mirror. Only then could I appreciate what they had done to me. My body was completely shiny black rubber all over, with the exception of my eyes, mouth and collar. The collar had a display right around it, which had a message continuously scrolling along. I read some of the message as "...been sentenced to Public Sufferance for the crime of littering by order of..."
The officer explained, "You are not allowed to wear any clothing, or try in any way to cover up your status. You can carry on going to work as normal, but it's part of the punishment that you have to go through the humiliation of having to work while suited and with the collar reminding everyone of your status."
I said, "So how do I go to toilet in this?"
He turned me around and pointed out a small hole in my suit's arse. "We'll give you a machine with a tube which you can fit into this hole. That will flush your arse out whenever you need it. And there's a hole down between your legs, which your piss will come out from when you go."
He picked up a large metal helmet. "This is your immobilisation helmet. You have to wear this from midnight to 6am. It will block your hearing, and sight and prevent you from eating or being heard. Your collar will flash and make a sound when the helmet should go on, and will keep it locked on until you're allowed to remove it."
He checked some notes. "Oh, I'm sorry, as you have grade 3 sufferance, you must put the helmet on at 9pm and remove it at 7am. You need to check in with your police station once a week, where they will download the data from your collar, and check to make sure there's been no attempts to cut open the suit."
He handed me the helmet and said, "Enjoy your month!"
---------------------------------------------
"...and that concludes the forecast of figures for the next month."
I stood at the front of the meeting, presenting figures as I did every month. Except that this month, and for the whole of the previous 3 weeks, instead of my usual business suit, I was clad from head to foot in smooth shiny black rubber, and my collar's display was constantly reminding everyone of my crime and punishment.
At this point in the meeting, people always asked me lots of questions. But this month, nothing. I'm sure they were just staring and my suit, and hadn't heard a word I said.
