"Have you heard of Ciudad Esclavas? Well, if you haven't heard, it is a small unincorporated community that enslaves all adult females."
"Where is this place? Colombia? Paraguay?"
"It's here in the US. In fact there is a local reverend who recruits women to join. He has a non-denominational church. I want you to attend and to write an article about them. And, if you can, I'd like you to get an invitation to Ciudad Esclavas to live there."
"Live there? As a slave?"
"Yes. But you are married so you would be taking your husband."
"But I would legally be my husband's slave."
"Yes. But you should be able to trust him to not get too weird. We have seen a rebirth of slavery since the Troubles began in 2021 when the Dollar Died and inflation permanently cut wages 60%. But at first it was just breeder slavery which was aimed at finding men to breed women too poor to raise children. But this seems to be a more voluntary movement of the remaining middle class women to accept slavery or at least submission. It seems to be based in romance."
"I see lots of women in slave collars.The New Government wants more women to accept slavery so they can't vote. I have seen the new driver's license for slaves. Those women in their photos are nude from their breasts up on the front and nude from their red bottoms up on the back. I don't know how long a woman has to be paddled to get to be red enough for her DMV photo."
"Yes but you can attend a service and a seminar without getting a new driver's license. And we can play it by ear when you get to Ciudad Escalavas which literally means city of female slaves. Oh. And your sister is still living with you? I want you to take her to Dr Culpepper's church on Sunday. His website says he has an upcoming relationships seminar. You can bill us for it but they have a concept called pairing so you will need to take Melissa with you."
"What is pairing?"
"I don't want to bias your reporting so the less I say the better."
"Your husband has to attend the seminar. He still has a flexible schedule as a crime novelist?"
"I'd have to run it by him. He is blocked and hasn't written anything for 3 months, maybe a weekend away will help him. And my sister might find a job so I am not sure about her. You know she is younger than I am by two years and already has her first divorce."
"Dr Culpepper claims that women in his church don't have divorces."
"She might learn something."
Later at dinner Diane explained to her husband Jack and to her sister Melissa her new writing assignment.
"So the church service is at 10:30 AM Sunday. But on assignment I have to go with another woman who is my pair whatever that means and my husband. Apparently, Dr Culpepper thinks of husbands as owners of their wives."
Jack's ears perked up with the suggestion that he would own Diane. And Pairing sounded to him like he would own Melissa as well. "I can go. I have two crime novels and I'm not getting anywhere on either one. So maybe a Sunday and a weekend retreat will fit my schedule."
Melissa said, "OK by me because all the jobs I applied for are Monday thru Friday."
On Sunday morning, Diane saw all the paired couples. Men with two women. And one man with three. Diane talked to some of the women while her husband talked to a couple of men.
Jack said, "So I see you are paired with two women."
"Yes. These two women are old best friends from high school. I met them here at church. Men are not full members until they own two women."
"So you own those women?"
"This is Debbie and this is Sandy. Of course. Freedom is a concept that does not apply to women. They are emotional beings not rational like machines. Women function on feeling. Their goal is to be happy so they can be the best possible woman they can be. All you have to do is to tell a woman 'I love you. You have been a naughty girl and are under arrest for the crime of unhappiness.' She wants to be emotionally congruent to the male. She wants to worship her Man."
"Debbie. You are insufficiently happy today. You are under arrest. You will have to wait until we get home for me to treat you like the naughty girl you are."
"So Sandy, you don't mind not being arrested right after the service?"
"Master arrests me as often as he does Debbie. And most men are not worth worshiping. That is why pairing is so important. Master has the power of life and death over us. He tells us whether we are loved or unloved. Most men do not wield their power of love to deal with us."
Diane and her sister Melissa were talking to Dr Culpepper's two wives, Barbara and Andrea. Unlike most of the other women, they wore slave collars.
"The two of us signed up for your retreat next weekend on relationships."
"That's great. But there is another workshop you should attend before that. Here, I can give you a DVD."
"This DVD says it explains how to give your man the best blowjob he ever had."
"Yes. All women who want to join our church must attend our workshop or watch this DVD. Women must learn to serve the Male. All women serve the Male. Most women are poor servants of the Male. We serve men well in this church."
"We just came from our daycare center. The two of you don't have children. And like most women in our church you don't wear slave collars. We both work and wear them to work. It doesn't bother us that we wear slave collars. We are evangelists for slavery. It takes a while for professional women to adjust to the new reality. Women serve men. Breeding slavery began locally only two years ago. We want slavery to become the condition of most women. We are just beginning to change the curriculum in the schools. We are recruiting more teachers to become slaves and wear their collars proudly to serve as exemplars to the girls in their classes."
"Diane can't have children. I am living in their nursery. Neither one of us has thought of wearing slave collars. It's a new concept to us."
"Your owner Jack will be getting you pregnant. It is good that you will be coming to our relationships weekend. We want to counsel with women before they have children. Maybe we can get you temporary collars to wear just for the weekend."
"It's time to enter for service. As paired women, you will sit next to your owner, Jack."
After the services, Jack wanted to go straight home saying he had been inspired with changes to both novels. They would both be ready for publication in 2 to 3 months. He was very excited. Diane had seen him pick up a pamphlet with the title Captured Female over in a section of books reserved for Males with a capital M. She thought as a slave girl she should stay away from that area reserved for men.
When they got home he went into his den to work.
The sisters went their separate ways. Diane made sandwiches as Jack would be too busy to eat a formal meal and Melissa wanted to listen to that DVD. Diane had been counseling Melissa to give in to her ex-husband's demands and give him a blowjob. It was good that she watch that DVD. Unbeknownst to the sisters, there was a subliminal recording on the DVD telling women they were natural slaves and they must serve the Male.
Three hours later Melissa talked to Diane in the backyard.
"I have been all wrong. I need to give a blowjob to a man. I don't want my ex back. He is not the sort of man I can worship. You know that while we are on this temporary assignment I am supposed to be paired with you to Jack. I want your permission to let Jack be my first blowjob."
"OK. Jack has a lot of extra energy. I suppose it is alright if you serve him until this assignment is over."
When it was 30 minutes before dinner, Melissa went in to Jack's den. She said, "The church gave us a DVD on how to properly serve the Male. It tells us that we must learn to give a good blowjob. My sister says it's OK with her for you to be my first. May I serve you? Will you be my owner at least until that weekend seminar is over?"
"Come here, slave girl. I am going to treat you like a slave until next Sunday night. Now kneel and serve your owner."
At dinner, Jack decided to broach the subject of the enslavement of Melissa because he knew if Melissa became a slave then Diane would too but maybe not immediately. It might take a week for her to accept her future.
"Diane, I want to thank you for giving permission to Melissa to serve me. I also want to thank you Missy for becoming my very own slave girl until next Sunday night. I have decided to change Missy's name just to let her know that she is owned. I picked up a pamphlet from the church today. It teaches men the theory of the Captured Female. Women naturally look for a man to love them. He has the power of life and death over them, that is to say whether they are loved or unloved. I have decided to love Missy and to capture her. Men do not ask women if they want to be captured. They just take them. Women naturally serve the Male. That is what they do. I have captured Missy and she belongs to me. I did not ask for her consent. Missy and you Diane and the church this morning have inspired me to change my crime novel into something a bit different. A detective with two slaves who help him solve cases."
"So you own my sister?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to keep her?"
"Yes. We can accomplish more together with her than without her. She can give birth to our children."
That made the room silent for a moment.
"I want to have children. I would have to think about it for a while. The whole idea of slavery is new to me. And children. I want children but getting pregnant next week is a little soon."
