"Not so high and mighty now are you, you white dog?" asked the trader.
His English was flawless but he was chewing some betel nut (I could see the red juices dribbling from his mouth as he spoke) and his pronunciation was not altogether clear.
"No sir." I said as humbly as I could.
He laughed harshly then cleared his throat spat out the juices which had by now almost filled his mouth. They landed on my face and some even fell inside my own mouth. I was on the verge of spitting them out when the trader shot me an angry glance. Reluctantly, I swallowed both the juice and the thick phlegm that was mixed within it. The trader laughed uproariously as I gagged and so did a strange voice behind me.
The trader said something in Sinhala and a few moments later the stranger, a thin, bespectacled young man of some twenty odd years, appeared at his side carrying one of my lawn chairs. He set it down on the grass and the trader sat down on it.
"Are you starting to learn your place now?" he asked
"Yes sir." I answered "My place is beneath you and all Sri Lankans. I was wrong to consider myself your superior and treat you so badly. It is you who are my betters and I deserve to be treated accordingly."
"Fine words," sneered the trader "but can you live up to them?"
"I will try my very best sir." I replied pathetically.
"Then you may start by providing me with a small service." he said "Your wet garden has made my sandals very dirty. They are covered in mud for which you are responsible. You will clean them for me. Now!"
"But I am still tied up!"I protested "Besides, I have no water or cloth!"
"You have a tongue, don't you?" snapped the trader "Your mouth is so used to uttering filthy words to Sri Lankans that it won't notice a little more dirt inside it."
Ignoring the silent pleading of my eyes, he lifted up his right foot and I began to lick off the filth that covered its sole; mud and grass and I knew not what else. The taste was foul and fouler still were the sensations I felt when I swallowed some of it. I almost threw up on the spot and found I could no longer continue licking. Needless to say, the trader was far from pleased. In fact, he was furious.
"You disgusting white dog!" he shrieked "How dare you refuse my orders! How dare you turn your head away from my majestic Sri Lankan foot? You still think you are better than me, don't you scum? It seems you need to be taught your lesson the old-fashioned way."
He stood up and began to unbuckle his thick, leather belt. Unlike the others who had abused me that day he was wearing western rather than traditional clothes.
"Please sir!" I whimpered "Don't hit me! Let me try again! Please sir!"
His answer was a stroke of the belt across my face which made me cry out in pain. He laughed and walked behind me till he was out of sight.
"Your begging is a waste of time." he informed me "I am not a merciful man. You had your chance and you threw it away. Now you will suffer the consequences of your foolish pride."
The belt lashed my back again and once more I cried out. It rose and fell a further eighteen times, striking my arse, my back, my legs and my arms, but even though I literally screamed in agony neither Sir nor anyone else came to my assistance. As for the young stranger, I was puzzled to see him moving constantly around me and to see also that he was taking photographs of my ordeal. The pain I was suffering prevented me from considering the matter any further.
I was sobbing loudly by the time the trader had finished beating me but I was still able to hear the words he spoke to me from my chair, the chair that he had made his throne.
"I don't know why you are crying so loudly." he said "I did not hurt you that badly. You will be bruised for several days but your owner was very insistent that I do not break your skin. He said your customers might not pay as much for damaged goods. I suppose he's right but it is a pity. By the way," he gestured towards the young man who grinned at me "this is our village photographer. He will be staying with you for some time, recording your adventures. The whole village is keen to use or rather abuse the arrogant white man who lorded it over them for so long. They will pay to see what others have done to you and so, I am sure, will internet viewers. You could become a star in the local market. Perhaps you could be sold to a brothel in Colombo. There are many who would pay handsomely for a willing white whore, particularly if he came as part of a couple."
I was horrified beyond words.
"P..p..please!" I stammered eventually "Please don't do that! I'll pay you anything you want! Please don't put me on the internet or sell me to a whorehouse!"
"Unfortunately, that is not my decision to make." smirked the trader "It is your owner who will decide your ultimate fate. I advise you to be the best whore and slave you can be in order to win his favour otherwise you will find yourself in the hands of someone much worse than him. In the meantime, the photos my friend here takes will ensure you never ever think of trying to escape from your new life."
"You will never need to use them." I grovelled "I will be a good slave for my Sri Lankan masters. I promise I will!"
"We will see." smiled the trader "Now open your mouth wide. I have a better use for it than talking."
Pulling down his zip, he pulled out his long, thin cock and I prepared to receive it gratefully in my mouth as I had done the others that day. To my surprise, the trader held his cock only inches from my face but he did not force it inside my mouth.
"I am not gay." he said with a sneer, replying to my questioning gaze "I have no desire to have any man suck my cock, especially not a filthy white dog like you. No, my cock has only one use for you; as a urinal."
