The rape farm. Twenty acres of pristine wilderness - ringed in a chain-link fence with electrical wire atop it. In the center was an old farmhouse and a big parking lot. The women on the rape farm had all signed a dozen consent forms, confirmed their age, and taken medical screenings - they had very few rights remaining.
The rules were clear-cut and simple: survive 60 days without getting raped by the hunters, and the ultimate prize of one million dollars would be theirs -- no one was allowed any weapons of any kind, and permanent harm was forbidden. The women were left to rely solely on their instincts, cunning, and resourcefulness. The men - their strength.
A catch - if you were raped, you still had to run for 60 days. Raped twice still got a thousand-dollar follow-up prize. Three times halved it to 500. Even those who inevitably failed the right of passage that was the farm - often emerged with something. A few - the slowest and prettiest - left with a pittance.
Each morning, as the first rays of dawn broke through the trees, a blaring siren signaled the start of the hunt. The women, a diverse group from various backgrounds, were given a mere 20-minute headstart to scatter into the thick woods surrounding the farmhouse. These women, each with their own reasons for volunteering, were driven by a common desire for autonomy, challenge, and, of course, the chance to claim the life-changing prize.
The hunters ranged in type and reason - some skilled in tracking and survival, others middle-aged white men who thought themselves capable. They were released after the women, tasked with the challenge of capturing them and preventing anyone from reaching the coveted 60-day mark. These hunters paid a hefty sum, a thousand dollars a day, for the thrill of hunting fellow humans. The farm took the remainder of the money after payouts.
The terrain itself was a formidable adversary. A single stream wove through the forest - the only source of potable water. The nights were cold, and food was scarce.
The farmhouse served as both a sanctuary and a place of dread. It was where the women returned each evening after the hunting hours closed. Here, they could rest, regroup, share their experiences, and change clothes into any of the many alluring outfits the farm provided. But it was also a place where they made fresh tracks leaving, a place where the men who ran the place would use and abuse them - off the clock of course.
Five women, framed on the farmhouse walls as ultimate survivors, served as a reminder of the farm's daunting challenges. These women had managed to outsmart the hunters, endure the wilderness, and reach the elusive 60-day mark, earning their place in the farm's history.
Some women chose to go "feral," living off the land completely, away from the traps and dangers of the farmhouse. This was a daring move, as they left behind the security of their fellow participants and ventured deeper into the wilderness, where they had to fend for themselves entirely.

As the sun rose over The Rape Farm, Sarah and the other women were led out of their rooms and into the woods that surrounded the property. The men who visited The Rape Farm were given a new form of entertainment: the opportunity to hunt the women throughout the day, capturing and taking them as they pleased.
Sarah knew that she had to do everything she could to stay hidden and avoid capture. She knew what happened to the women who were caught, and she was determined to do whatever it took to stay free.
As she moved through the woods, Sarah came across a large oak tree with a sturdy branch that extended out over a small clearing. She quickly climbed up and settled in, her heart pounding as she tried to calm her nerves and focus on her surroundings.
From her vantage point in the tree, Sarah had a clear view of the clearing, and she could see the men as they spread out and began their hunt. She watched as they called out to the women, trying to lure them out into the open.
Sarah's heart sank as she saw her friend Mary emerge from the woods, her eyes wide with fear as she looked around at the men who were closing in on her. Sarah could see the panic in Mary's eyes as she tried to decide which way to run, and she knew that she had to do something to help her friend.
But before she could make her move, Sarah saw two of the men grab Mary and force her to the ground. They tore at her clothes and began to rape her, their grunts and moans filling the air as they took their pleasure from her.
Sarah's heart raced as she watched the brutal assault on her friend. She knew that she had to do something, but she was unsure of how to help without putting herself in danger. As she watched, Sarah saw Mary's body tense and then relax as the men took turns with her, her eyes filled with tears and despair. Mary had mentioned this morning she was ovulating - her birth control pills traded for gear from another woman. This was not a good day for her to be caught.
As the men continued to rape Mary, Sarah saw her friend's body arch beneath them, her legs spread wide as the men took their pleasure from her. She could see the way their bodies moved together, the way their hips thrust, and the way their breaths grew heavier as they approached their climax.
Sarah's heart ached as she watched her friend's body respond to the men's advances, even as her mind screamed at her to fight back. She knew that the men were growing closer to impregnating Mary, and she knew that once that happened, her friend would be lost to them forever.
Desperate to help her friend, Sarah considered making a move to intervene, but she knew that the men would likely harm her or Mary if she did. Instead, she clenched her fists and bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears as she watched the men continue to take their pleasure from her friend.
As the men reached their climax and released their seed inside Mary, Sarah felt a wave of despair wash over her. She knew that her friend was lost to them, and she was unsure of how to help her now.
As the men pulled out of Mary and released her, Sarah watched as her friend stumbled back into the woods, her eyes filled with tears and her clothing ripped.
As Sarah watched Mary disappear into the woods, she knew that she had to find a way to help her friend. She considered following Mary, but she was unsure of how to do so without putting them both in even greater danger. So she hunkered down and hid, ignoring the moans and screams that echoed through the forest.
