Bree Moxam showered and dressed in her warm PJ's. She poured herself a glass of wine and curled up in her favourite chair. Tucking her feet up she fingered Trent's book. It was impressive from the outside, hard cover, embossed lettering, certainly different than anything else he had done. Not, she thought, that he had ever done much anyway.
It began at the start of semester. Bree caught Trent showing off a porn magazine in class to his mate; a series of pictures of bald female genitalia and explicit sex. The rules said that she should report him to the dean but she was new at the college and didn't want to have his dismissal hanging over her head. She waited till the end of class and gave him an opportunity to do a special assignment instead. With no option he agreed but he was pissed off with being publicly humiliated. As he was doing medicine and her class was ancient history, myths etc. they agreed to the topic: "the impact of witch doctors, medicine men and how they used voodoo, black magic and superstition to control their tribe."
An Australian, just turned 22 years of age and in her first semester as a lecturer she didn't want her American sojourn to start as badly as her last finished in Australia. A brilliant student and blessed with stunning natural beauty, 5' 2", long, luxurious brunette hair, a flawless complexion, with lips that always curved to a smile: beautiful seemed such an inadequate description. Coupled with a slim body, shapely legs and the most sexy set of boobs in town, her life was a dream until she arrived home one day to find her partner and her best friend up to their pubic hairs in each other. The other side of the world wasn't far enough away but it would do for the present.
That was then.
It was now the end of semester and Trent's assignment had been completed on time. She had a hint of a tingling sensation as she opened the cover. The set out was impressive: Red lettering over a misty background on a black page.
Ancient Folklore
Black Magic
Voodoo
And Other Dark Truths
Fact or Urban Myth?
Can you handle the truth?
Bree took another sip of wine and ran her hand over the page. She was pleasantly impressed.
The introduction talked in general terms about the history of beliefs in magic, witches, timelines and the susceptibility of poor, uneducated people to suggestion. All of which reflected the sort of teachings covered in class. It was not until the last paragraph that her interest was pricked.
"Research into hitherto unknown documents gives cause for belief that in deepest Africa there is evidence that voodoo was used to convert innocent women and girls to sex slaves. Of course, the argument will always be that due to the youthful age of the girls, their lack of education, their primitive beliefs at the time that any outcomes were simply a product of a form of self-hypnosis, a self-fulfilling prophesy, or fear of disobeying an elder. As this is intriguing new research we shall explore this in some detail." Bree started reading with some anticipation. She virtually skimmed the first few paragraphs which again was pretty much standard fare until she came to the section on voodoo.
She refilled her glass and turned the page with anticipation. She was surprised at the feeling of warmth, a tingling sense of anticipation as she took another sip of wine.
Trent detailed that his research uncovered two articles from the very earliest explorers of Africa where they evidenced instances of voodoo being used to turn young girls into sex slaves. The testimony was adamant that the witch doctors or medicine men actually used a form of voodoo which worked, and according to their testimony, in all cases. However, the articles were very old and as the tribe was small little had been heard of the articles and an accompanying diary. It was a time where communication was scant.
Bree, an avid researcher was intrigued as to how Trent had found such information as her research, which she knew was more than thorough over many years, had never found any reference to these articles. Knowing Trent and his lack of attention to anything closely resembling detail she had an inkling that he was simply making up a fantasy story. She took a mental note to seek confirmation.
The reality was that Trent was surfing the net for porn and sex slaves when by pure chance he came across the articles. That started the glimmer of an idea in Trent's mind to stir some shit on the cocky Aussie bitch.
Bree returned to the assignment: "Society readily accepts the concept of religion without question; people are fanatical in their belief, yet most people are sceptical in relation to anything surrounding the occult, black magic or things like voodoo. However, this original research gives detailed direction as to the process and this article will expand on that. Again, the argument will be raised as to whether it was real or simply a mind play on impressionable young girls at a time when people did believe in witches and other magic. The question is: would any of today's educated women be susceptible to any degree of suggestion such that their culture and beliefs were subjugated? Even in today's enlightened society there are people, well-educated and sophisticated people who will champion both arguments. The crux of this assignment: the believers Vs the non-believers. Perhaps there is only one way to prove the theory.
Bree found she was pleasantly surprised and enjoying Trent's article.
She turned the page and chuckled at the scrolled words. This was certainly a side of Trent that she had never seen.

The next page gave a brief explanation.
Dear reader, as you have chosen to continue reading this dissertation you do so with the full knowledge that nothing will never be the same. As one wise old sage said: I don't believe in voodoo but I'm sure afraid of it. Be afraid, be very afraid."
The following extract has been taken from authentic diaries kept by earliest explorers in deepest Africa. The authors swear by the truth. The steps below have been faithfully copied from the diaries. Obviously the terms and measures are unfamiliar but I will do my best to demonstrate how it may have been. Be warned that it is explicit!
The more difficult the step the more powerful the outcome!
The making of a sex slave.
Step 1
Make a doll of the target person. The closer to her real likeness the more powerful the spell will be.
Step 2
