The female slavery laws went into effect, today and my entire body seemed on high alert of that fact.
My hands wouldn't stop shaking as I dressed for my interview, today. It was at a reputable law firm, one I knew I barely had a chance for. But, now that females weren't allowed to work outside of the home and our rights had been seemingly ripped away before our own eyes, it didn't seem to matter if I attended the interview or not.
I didn't have the right to work my own job or have my own money, unless my father allowed it.
And with how many times he'd asked me about the breeding farm, I was sure he wouldn't.
The breeding farm. I shivered at the thought of going to where my older sister, Ivy had gone.
She didn't obey, Anna. You'll be next if your not smart.
My fathers words were on repeat within the recesses of my mind, always a constant reminder that I really, was under the hand of our old belief based government, now and if I wanted to see my next birthday, I would have to obey.
As if that was something I had ever struggled with.
I wasn't sure why, but ever since I was a young child, I had been naturally submissive and always wanted to please my father, my boyfriends, even my teachers.
I was a straight A student all of high school, never wanting to let my teachers down.
I was my fathers favorite, albeit youngest child and now that he not only had the church's beliefs to hold over me, but the new law- I didn't see another way.
The new law stated that men had a right to make use of a woman if she made herself available, whether that be purposeful or not.
The law also stated that every woman aged eighteen or older would attend a mandatory Natural Submission course before the end of the coming year. Any women that refused to obey and abide by these new laws would be sent to what we called The Breeding Farm, a run down estate on the southern border of our town that housed the nonconformists and the women that were forced into that place almost never survived the following year.
My sister hadn't.

"Oh!" I was jolted in place as a pair of large, male hands reached around where I stood on the train into the city, a heaving chest pressed right up against my back as his hands roughly cupped my breasts from behind, long, workmans fingers slipping between the globes as he squeezed firmly; letting me know he wasn't about to let me go, anytime soon.
"Please, sir. I'm just going to a job interview."
