"Vice's Grip"
SHORT STORY
Among the verdant expanse of farmland there stood a secluded barn. A weathered structure that had been around for generations, now long-forgotten by time and man alike. The heavy heat of midday beat down upon its roof and the surrounding lands. This heat; this exhausting, sweltering heat...
Nearby the sounds of labourers hard at work echoed. Heavy grunts and cries as servants worked and bosses barked orders. Large, animalistic figures roamed the fields. Their bodies tall and strong. Standing and striding on two legs like the smaller humans directing them. Beasts of burden made in man's image.
As the sun reached its zenith, the call rang out: "BREAK TIME!" A clatter of downed tools and the exasperated groans of their users filled the air. Today had been particularly rough, what with the fierce heat. The humans left the fields one way, their two-legged beasts the opposite -- both retiring for a brief while; seeking food, water, shelter, or perhaps more.

Vice had already put in a full day's work -- having been up before dawn in service to the human-owned farm -- and was feeling it. The tall grey creature -- an anthropomorphic stallion, walking upright with the proportions of a powerful male -- trod along a lonely side-trail that went from the fields to a copse of trees that bordered the farm. The air was thick with the scent of earth and manure, the sensations fading the further away he got. Each beast like him tended to the crops as required by the humans; in totality creating a well-oiled agricultural machine. Vice's kind (the equine, the bovine, the canine; the
animal
) broke their backs with gruelling physical labour, whilst their strange owners busied themselves with the work of thinking. Planning. Controlling.
The anthro stallion neighed. He didn't understand what went through his masters' heads. All he knew was how to do a good job when told to. It was as if he was built-for-purpose: muscles rippled beneath sleek grey fur, each one defined with an artist's precision. His mane flowed down his shoulders, darker than his coat. Every inch of him had been honed by years of hard work and rigorous exercise. However, even someone as chiselled and fit as he needed respite from the endless toil.
Vice's ear flicked. A fly buzzed nearby. He swatted it. There was a clanking, jingling sound as the trappings of his bondage jostled -- the many straps of a harness wrapped around his body, belted and ringed. A leather bridle bit deep into his equine mouth. A tight black thong strained to contain (let alone conceal) his mighty endowment. His adornments creaked softly with each movement, a constant reminder of his servitude.
Sturdy hooves clomped loudly on the dirt path as he passed by the first trees belonging to the copse, dry dust rising in his wake. He craved neither food nor water -- those base needs had been sated earlier. No, what stirred within him was something far more primal, more profound. And as he turned the corner and spotted the empty barn he knew he would get it.

The weathered wood and faded paint of the barn blended seamlessly into the landscape. Tucked away. A haven for fleeting moments of solace amidst the farm's relentless activity.
Vice pushed open the barn door, hearing it creak with a protesting groan. He huffed as he applied his strength to the heavy door, forcing it to swing wide and give him access. The interior was draped in shadow, smelling of old hay and forgotten memories. A sliver of sunlight cut through the opening he'd made, casting a spotlight on dust motes stirred up by his entry. The gloom of the stale interior welcomed him. Here, he knew he had privacy.
Vice closed the door behind him, drawing deep breaths as he stepped forward. His hooves clopped on the rough-timbered floor. Alone, he began to strip off the trappings of 'civilisation' that so irked him: the harness unhooked, the bridle spat out. Each item fell to the ground with a soft thud, revealing more and more of his furred flesh. Relishing the freedom of movement their removal afforded him, Vice sighed and stretched. Hard-capped fingers fumbled with his thong, pulling it down and letting his massive equine cock and heavy, pendulous balls swing free.
