Money has always been tight ever since I moved to this city, but since this month I had been laid off from my job, I have spent countless hours looking for some easy ways to make a few bucks online. Between all the obvious scams listed on the sites that I used to visit, one day I stumbled upon an interesting ad that caught my eye.
"One week experiment! $1.000 GUARANTEED" was the title that caught my eye. I opened the post and read through it thoroughly. They were looking for people to take part in a one week experiment regarding corporal punishment and the psychology behind it. Four candidates would be selected and at the end of the week, each one will receive $1.000 for their time. I decided to apply since this was the first post I have read here that was not an obvious scam or a get-rich-quick scheme and answered a few basic questions in the form they attached to the post. It took a few days for them to get back to me and tell me that I was selected. I received the address where the experiment would take place and was instructed to be there tomorrow at 8AM.
The next day I took a cab to the specified address which was somewhere near the outskirts of the city in a large depot. I knocked on the door and a woman holding a clipboard opened.
"Hey, you're Mary, right?" she asked.
"Yeah, hello, nice to meet you." I responded cheerfully as I was invited inside in a waiting room where two other girls and one guy were waiting browsing on their phones.
"Okay, now that we're all here, let me walk you all through the experiment. We aim to research the effects of corporal punishment and the psychology behind both receivers and givers of corporal punishment. For this, we have set up the scenario where two of you will be prisoners and the other two will be their guards. We will film the whole time with cameras placed in various areas to see how each one of you would react and behave. If, at any given time you want to stop taking part in the experiment, please just say Code Red and we will intervene and stop the experiment. Any questions?".
"Uhm, yeah, I have a question, what form of corporal punishment will be used?" I asked since I noticed that she didn't mention anything about this.
"The forms of corporal punishment that will be used will be decided by the guards, but none of them will put your health in danger or leave any permanent marks on your body." she replied joyfully. She waited for around a minute and then continued.
"Okay, since there are no more questions, I will hand you the contract to sign and then we can begin." she said as she started handing pages and a pen to everyone. I read through the contract, making sure that there was a clause that said that I could always get out and making sure that it was specified that this whole process is thoroughly supervised and they are making sure that we are all safe during this week. I signed the contract and then the woman took out a hat with tickets inside, and walked in front of everyone to pick a ticket. I grabbed one from the hat which read "PRISONER". After everyone picked their ticket the woman asked for those who picked the guard role to follow her. The other two girls stood up and followed her while I was left with the man who got the other "PRISONER" ticket.
He was rather tall but slim with very short dark hair and a full beard.
"So, I guess we are both prisoners, huh." I said awkwardly trying to start a conversation.
"Yeah, I guess so, I'm Cain, nice to meet you, fellow prisoner!" he said smiling offering a handshake. I shook his hand gently and introduced myself. I asked him if he had any more details of what will we do during the next week.
"Well, I don't know, but for $1.000 in a week, it's probably worth it." he said laughing.
We talked for a few more minutes until the other two participants who picked the guard role came back.
"Mary, please follow me." said one of the girls. She was a bit taller than me, and she was in an amazing shape. You could see that she was going to the gym regularly as her entire body was toned. She wore a lot of rings on her fingers that were tattooed with small symbols and dots and her right wrist was covered with a grey rose tattoo as well. She had dark blonde curly hair that went down to her lower back. Her lightly arched brows were shaped perfectly to complement her oval face and piercing brown eyes while her matte red lips covered her straight pearly teeth.
I got up and followed her to a room where she told me to put everything I had in my pockets on the table. I left my keys, phone and wallet there and then she instructed me to turn around and face the wall.
"Okay, inmate Mary, my name is Rachel and I will prepare you for the experiment. Please put your hands on the wall." she ordered with a strict tone.
I turned around and placed my hands on the cold wall. "Inmate Mary" I said in my head. It was quite weird for me to be called that, but I guessed that was part of the experiment. After all, what is the point if we do not act our roles, right?
She started patting me down, feeling every inch of my arms and then lowered her hands to the sides of my chest and remained there for a few seconds, feeling my breath. She then continued to pat down my legs and then asked me to strip down.
"Uhm, can I have a bit of privacy?" I asked quite ashamed of the thought of stripping down in front of a stranger. She simply replied with a firm and cold "No" and then stood there watching me. I then took out my shirt which made my hair messy and I took a moment to take it off my face. I put my dark hair to the side, over one of my shoulders. I recently had the ends of my hair painted in a light pink colour, which was a bit silly but I really liked the look. Even though I took good care of my hair, I neglected my quite bushy brows lately and they were a bit wild, but still shaped properly. I looked up with my greyish green eyes at Rachel to see her standing there just watching me. I moistened my plump lips which were wearing only a thin layer of gloss that day and then scratched my nose a bit just above the tiny delicate nose ring I got ever since I was a teen.
I then took off my jeans, sliding them over my hips and my thighs, and then looked back again at Rachel. She was waiting patiently there, watching me, so I put my hand back slowly and then unclipped my bra, sliding it down my shoulder, revealing my breasts to her. Even though they were small, they were quite perky and I put one arm around my chest to try and cover my delicate nipples. I then slid down my panties and crossed my legs to cover my womanhood as I could see Rachel clearly amused by my embarrassment.
"Inmate Mary, turn around and hands on the wall again." she ordered approaching me. I assumed the position again and then Rachel came behind me and rested her hands on my breasts squeezing them lightly with my nipples between her middle and ring fingers. My face turned bright red but I resisted the instinct to take my hands off the wall and cover them. She then slapped my ass once and rested her chin on my shoulder.
"Not bad, inmate Mary, not bad. Now get dressed." she said as she went and gave me an orange jumpsuit. I put it on and then she took a pair of metal handcuffs and put them tightly over my wrists. She grabbed the chain and guided me to a room where two spaces were delimited by thick black metal bars. Cain was inside one of them, also wearing a jumpsuit and handcuffs and Rachel opened the door to the other space and guided me inside.
The other girl who handled Cain was Mara, a very slim girl with very long grey hair and a gothic vibe. She had perfectly black eyebrows and her eyeliner was on point. Her face was slim and you could see her prominent bone structure. Even though her face was thin, her lips were very plump and she also had a nose ring, only much bigger than mine.
"Okay, so now what?" asked Rachel looking at us in our cells.
