CHAPTER 4 -- NEW CONTRACT, NEW HOME
I am kneeling naked beside the man that I agreed to be his slave. My sister is kneeling on the other side of Master. I watch the house servant bring me some chowder and place it in front of me. Later I learn it is called "slave chow".
Master says "Boy, you will eat now. Just use your mouth, no hands. Understand, boy?"
"Yes, Master."
"I can't hear you!"
Raising my voice, "YES, MASTER!"
"Good boy."
Master pushes my head towards the food. It feels weird eating with just my mouth. I look at the other slaves and they are all doing the same thing. It is nice not to be the only slave eating on the floor with our mouths. I just finish my food when the doorbell rings. A short while later, slave Philip comes in announcing, Master Mike has a guest waiting in the foyer.
Father says, "Show him to my office, boy".
"Yes Master, very good, Master."
Slave Philip left and then came back a few minutes later.
"Master Mike, the Society's lawyer is waiting in your office."
Master thanks father for letting him use his office and gets up. Master pulls on my sister and me by our leashes. We crawl out of the dining room to my father's office. When Master opens the office door, the lawyer gets up and shakes Master's hand. Master then sits behind the desk while we kneel next to him. The lawyer sits in a chair across from the desk.
"Have you brought the paperwork?"
The lawyer replies, "Yes Mike, I have them all here."
I hear him hand Master some papers. I can't see what they are with my head bowed.
"All looks in order."
The Lawyer explains, "Sign here, here, here, and here."
The lawyer turns to me, "Boy, please come here."
I keep my head bowed and don't move. I don't know what to do. Master told me to kneel next to him at all times but also told me to follow all freeman's orders. That Master's orders supersede anyone else. I am so nervous and afraid that I'm screwing up somehow.
"Boy, you may crawl over to the lawyer and kneel at his feet."
Thank god Master gives me clear directions. I'm so relieved and then crawled to the lawyer's feet bowing my head in submission thinking my Master would approve.
The lawyer pats my head, "Such a good boy."
I smile, feeling good he thought I obeyed correctly.
"Look at me, boy"
I look up at the lawyer's smiling face.
"Boy, last night you accepted your Master's collar. I am here for two reasons. The first is to make sure you willingly accept your Master's collar consensually. Boy, did you willingly accept your Master's collar and understand you will be his slave? Do you understand that by becoming a slave to your Master you are giving up all your human rights? You will be his property until he sells you, his death or your death? As property, your Master has complete and total control over your physical person and your free will. As property, you cannot own anything and everything you do own will be your Master's. Your Master has every right to modify your body in any way he sees fit. In every sense of the word, you are property like any other domestic animal. If your Master wishes he can put you down like other domestic animals your Master would own. Boy, do you fully understand what I have just explained to you?"
Not even hesitating, "YES SIR, I UNDERSTAND, SIR".
"Are you sure, boy?"
I reply in a raised voice "YES SIR, I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM GIVING UP EVERYTHING TO BECOME A SLAVE TO MY MASTER. I FULLY ACCEPT THAT I WILL BE MASTER'S PROPERTY AND HAVE NO HUMAN RIGHTS".
"Very good, boy. The second reason I am here is to make your slavery official."
The lawyer just places the forms that Master signed on the floor in front of me.
"Boy, sign these forms to make it official with all governments of the world and with the MSDS Society."
I see in front of me a "Receipt of Purchase", "Power of Attorney", "Living Will", "Slave Contract" and a membership contract for the MSDS Society. I look at them briefly. I see Master's signature on all the forms and my father's on the "Receipt of Purchase". I notice an amount of two million dollars for the sale of one slave David Armstrong. I realize what father and Master were talking about at breakfast. My father is selling me to Master. For some reason, I'm not surprised. With all that has just happened to me this past couple of days, selling his son into slavery is to be expected. In some way, I guess you could say father owns me since he created me in the first place. I pick up the pen and place it on the form. I pause for a second fearing I am making a mistake. You could hear a pin drop in the office. I then remember last night and the overwhelming power that Master had over my mind and body. Thought of never seeing my family ever again scares me even more than being a slave. The thought of being homeless and with just my savings is something I could never handle. I would have to start over with no help from anyone. Not being Master's slave seems very sad and lonely. I couldn't live like that. I need the support of my family. So, finally, after a long wait, I sign all the forms. The lawyer takes the forms and signs the witness lines on each. Then he puts the forms in his briefcase.
The Lawyer addresses Master "Very good, I will have the forms process as soon as possible."
He pats my head, "Welcome slave to your new life. Be good to your Master."
"Yes Sir, I will Sir".
I am proud of what I have just done. The lawyer shakes Master's hand congratulating him on another excellent purchase as the lawyer looks at my sister and me. I think to myself, oh shits father sold my sister too. The lawyer leaves saying he will show himself out.
Master looks at me, "Slave come here!"
I quickly crawl to Master's side.
"Boy, you are now my property officially to the world. I have "Power of Attorney" over you slave. This means I control you financially, can commit you to an institution, and can make any medical decisions on your behalf. The 'Living Will' makes all you once owned, mine. No one in the outside world will question any decisions I make on your behalf. So, as you can see by the laws of the outside world, I own you. By the laws of the MSDS Society, I more than own you, you are my property, less than human. You are a slave animal that I own."
Master then backhands me showing what he's capable of doing to me. I am in total shock at the violent assault.
"Slave, that is just an example of what will happen if you disobey me. I expect complete and total obedience. No one is going to come to your help or save you from any punishment you may deserve. Your whole family knows you are now my slave, you will never see anyone outside of the Society's circle. As you can see, I can do anything to you and no one will care. I can even discard you if I wish."
I am now totally scared shitless. What have I done? I look at my sister. She did not move an inch since we entered the office. She did not even attempt to help me when Master struck me. A tear runs down my face, hoping I did not make the worst mistake of my life. Master then kneels down and hugs me. I am shocked again, not expecting this.
