It was still early morning.
Carmela sat alone her bed a little dazed. How pleasant they felt in her hands! Carmela had bought them just for this trip. Gently she pulled them up until both her legs were tightly shrouded in a silky glow. Warm, stretchy, and smooth--just the type she always liked!
She stood up and walked about, admiring herself, stopping often in front of the mirror to practice a few delightful poses she had mastered over the years.
Carmela knew she still looked fabulous at her age: slim, bright-eyed, and gracious, the pearl earrings iridescent in her cropped blonde hair. Back then she was certainly not the best-looking girl in town, but all the years since had somehow only added to her glamour, while many others became out of shape and stale. "My Duchess of Birmingham,"--so would her husband Paul often tease her. She knew he was most jealous of her.
One of the reasons for her lingering beauty was, of course, that she never had any children. Not that Carmela didn't want any; they had tried for many years but had yet to succeed. She had done all the medical checks necessary and knew the results, but she refused to associate herself that hideous word--barren! No, she had since decided that was one thing in the whole world she would not be.
From the painted French window the tropical city beckoned: turbaned heads of the natives flocked the markets that were filled with countless exotic trinket and spices. She went back to lying on bed, her stockinged feet dangling in the air and her mind clouded in reverie--
It felt like ages since she and Paul last travelled abroad together. The last time they were abroad, it was in Spain, where they stayed at a gorgeous seaside resort--one that was rumored to be particularly auspicious for conception. For several nights in a row they had oysters and other favorable nourishment, and made love on the spacious bed while the sea air breezed through their room. But in the end it all came to naught.
But tonight it shall be different; somehow she just knew. Come the night, she would surprise Paul with the complete set of lingerie. She had them tucked away in a hidden layer of the luggage; they were in bright yellow, her favorite color.
Perhaps she would pick up some fragrant candles and a long veil at a local market; how fun would it be to pose herself as one of the native women who were so good at hiding their bodies from curious outsiders! She would pull it up slowly, inch by inch revealing her wonderful figure--such a perfect tease!
Then came the squeaky noise of the bathroom door sliding open: Paul's finally done shaving. Soon they were to set out for their first day of adventure! Carmela just couldn't get that silly grin off her face.

That was 12 hours ago, before they were touring the old town and Carmela paused in the crowds to check on some goods and got separated from Paul and as she was wandering in her beautiful dress clicking her heels on the stone pavement through the many small alleys which were soon getting quieter and narrower when she was suddenly seized by many pairs of strong overpowering hands from behind which covered her mouth from screaming and dragged her through one of the ten thousand small iron doors in that Labyrinth of a city and although she kicked and bit and fought with all her might and bravery making desperate muffled cries for help it was in the end to no avail--
The city had devoured her without a hiss.
Now the night had fallen, and the blonde housewife was trapped in somewhere damp and dim, where no rescue--none!--would ever come to her.
It was one of many cells in a private underground dungeon, a special spot to break and tame naughty strays like her. This foreign woman might be a little old for their typical clientele, but once they made a proper whore out of her she could still fetch a nice price at a local brothel. These above-ground establishments--how to put it?--they were too exposed to the light, and valued too much of their, 'reputation'; did't want to do the dirty work themselves, so they outsourced it to the Under-belly of this city.
This magical place, then, shall make a new woman out of her...

Lying upon layers of dirty soft-core tabloids and vivid campaign posters that was her makeshift bed, Carmela quietly dreamt away. At such an indecent angle her legs spread apart, exactly as the last man had left them there. For the last 12 hours they had had fun with this one, and
They did what outlaws always do,
To a pretty wo-man--
Rid her of all excessive clothes
And the wedding band--
But save for those Yellow Stockings, which stayed on
To arouse, to help them wank!--
The st-o-ckings--ohh!--
No longer shine, like they had
In the morning,
But creased and loosened and tanned
