it wasn't what I expected but its a start.it wasn't what I expected but its a start. the guests are wild tonight and the four of us get abused. we get squeezed, pinched, poked, triped, steped on, kicked. mr pots even spit on me. we are all required to kiss each guest goodnight at the door. when they are gone, tommy, paul, arnie, and maxine tie our hands and load us into maxine's van. 'you guys did a very good job tonight. we will get a handsome bonus.' they talk about us as though we are their property. i start to declare our freedom and paul kicks me in the stomach. he kicks so hard that it is some time before I can breath. paul notices my breathing problem and holds my mouth and nose till I pass out. [91] when I wake up the van has stopped. maxine is sitting in front of me holding several long needles. I stare at them in fear. 'i watched the man insert these, I bet I can do just as good. (please, I ache already.) maxine takes my breast in her hand and inserts a needle part way. I groan. maxine pushes it very very slowly. I cannot move or the needle will tear my flesh. 'Inez, do you want to work for us?' i am silent. she pulls the needle out and starts it in again. i beg thru my tears. she pulls it out and starts again. (yes, I want to work for you.) she pulls the needle out and asks me what I could do for them. I could make your customers happy. would you do for us what you did for carl tonight? the needle touches my skin. (yes.) she goes to helen. helen and the twins do not argue 'good we are in agreement. you will perform. we will arrange for the guests and payment. you will be paid for your work. everyone is happy. one last thing, Inez. you will whore for me also. I will only use highschool boys for now. you will get half the take. ok?' she grags my breast and I agree. 'i will call you.' [92] we are a sad group as we enter our home. we are all tired and go straight to bed. we don't discuss our slavery among ourselves. i do the chores. life goes on. my first whoreing comes after only a week. maxine calls me and gives me a name, an address, a date, and a time. bart is in my classes at school. he is very shy. i knock on his door several times before he answers. 'i have changed my mind. you can keep the money.' (may I come in please.) bart invites me into the living room. |
