No praise is sufficient for Madame C, whose amazing talents resulted in the story receiving an injection of humanity that it was missing, turning it into something so much better than it was that the author is still marveling.

"Don't forget your physical tomorrow morning."
Josie's voice startled Max. He looked up and saw her at the entrance to the locker room. Her stance was aggressive, as if she was barring his way.
"As usual, you've waited until the last minute. If the coach doesn't get the forms by Friday morning, you don't suit up that night. That includes proof of immunization shots. Do you want to sit out the first game?"
"I know," he said, sounding like a petulant child receiving a scolding from his mother. "Coach was already on me. I'm going Monday morning."
He took a deep breath and tried to change his voice so he sounded grateful and conciliatory.
"Thanks for reminding me, Josie. Look, since you're the team manager and trainer this year, we'll be seeing each other a lot. I hope we can forget about..."
"I told you I would never forget," she interrupted. "But I don't want to talk about that. I'm just reminding you about your physical."
"Here are your forms. Knowing you, you probably lost the ones you got before. Fill them out and bring them with you tomorrow morning."
"Coach told me Monday."
"I'll repeat it for you slowly, dummy. Too-maaah-row mooornnnn-innng. And look at the address on the forms. You're going to a different medical office than last year."
She handed him the pages, turned around and walked away. He watched how she moved her amazing body. It seemed to be telling him, "Look what you're missing," but he wasn't listening.
He had finished with Josie last spring, and he had just dumped his second girlfriend since then. His mind went to a few girls he had been thinking about. Which one would he make his move on next?
**************
The building he drove up to the next morning looked faded and falling apart. There were only a handful of cars in the lot, and as he walked past an elevator that was out of order and climbed the stairs, he didn't see a soul.
When he opened the door and entered the small waiting room, he saw only a few worn chairs. There was no one at the reception window, so he said, "Hello," in a loud voice and then sat down.
A minute later a nurse wearing a mask opened a door and said, "Mr. Strong?"
"Yes."
"Please follow me."
"Why are you wearing that?" he asked.
"There's a patient who may be contagious in another examination room. It's a precaution, but you aren't in any danger."
He followed her into an examination room. Some of the walls were peeling and the cabinets and drawers were old and worn. There was almost no furniture in the room, only a scale, an examination table, a rolling stool and a few chairs.
"Let's weigh you and get your height first," said the nurse. "You don't need to take off your shoes. Just step up here."
She wrote the numbers down on her clipboard and then took the blood pressure cuff from the counter.
"Please sit here and breathe normally."
After recording his blood pressure, she said, "I'm going to give you your first shot. If needles bother you, please turn your head."
When she had finished with the injection, she said, "Okay. I'm done with you. Please take off all your clothes except your underwear, put them on a chair and lie down on the examination table. I'll pull out this extension for your feet because you're so tall. Someone will be right in."
Max took off everything except his boxers and lay down.
He woke up drowsy and still lying on the table. At first, he thought he had just nodded off, but when he shifted, something felt wrong. He could barely move. He shook his head and looked around.
He was flat on his back, but he no longer had his underwear on. Wide pieces of material had been wrapped around his body and the table, and they were holding him tight. One was around his chest and shoulders, another around his stomach and arms and the last around his thighs. He could move his lower legs a little, but his arms were pinned to his sides by the tight wrap.
"Hey!" he yelled.
He didn't hear anything, but after he yelled a second time the door opened, and Josie walked in, followed by Carmela, Inez, Mary and Kathy. They were all laughing.
"What's going on?" he asked. "What are you doing here?"
It dawned on him that the five coeds were all former girlfriends. In fact, they were five out of his last six.
"We're here for your physical, Max," said Josie. "Since you're so important to the Badgers, you're getting two physicals this year. You're right that the other one is Monday. I hope you didn't throw away that form, but it doesn't matter. They have forms at the office. It's the same place as last year.
"Today's physical will be a little different from the one on Monday morning. You're gettingit because we want to make sure you'll have a memorable season.
"You've got be at your best this year, not just for the team. The pro scouts will be watching, and if you want to be drafted, you've got to focus."
"What are you talking about?" he asked angrily, and then stopped as if something had just occurred to him.
"Wait," he said. "Is this some kind of payback? I thought you all had boyfriends. Are you still thinking about me?"
The other girls laughed, but not Josie.
"You're right," she said, "Inez, Mary, Kathy and Carmela are dating great guys and wanted to forget you. But like I told you yesterday, I'll never forget how you played me.
"To get them to help me, I had to remind them of what you did to them. They didn't know you did the same thing to all of us. When they found out, they came on board. Today, we all get closure and have fun doing it -- except for you, of course.
"Help!" yelled Max as loud as he could, and he kept yelling until Josie, Mary and Kathy came over. Josie and Mary held his head tight, while Kathy stuck something in his mouth and then fastened it tight with a band around his head.
When they had finished, they stepped back and looked at him.
"That's a ball gag," said Josie. "Nobody's around this abandoned medical building anyway. It's going to be torn down next week. I paid the security guard to let us have this room for a few hours. He doesn't make his next rounds until mid-afternoon, and we'll be finished by then.
"We'll take the gag off later, but we don't want a lot of noise right now to distract us. You can breathe through your nose and through that hole in the center of the ball. It's time to begin the exam.
"Do you feel funny inside, Max? After the nurse knocked you out with the injection, she gave you two enemas. You never met my sister. She's a nurse in Milwaukee. Do you remember what your nurse looked like? Oh! That's right. She was wearing a mask -- and a wig, too.
"The nurse sedated you and then cleaned out your colon until it sparkled. Relax and stop twisting. We're not going there yet. First we need to examine your balls."
As Josie spoke, Carmela and Kathy wrapped one end of a long cloth strap tightly around each of his ankles and then guided the other end up his body, over each shoulder and then over the end of the examining table behind his head.
They walked behind him to where the straps had dropped, and each of them picked up one and began slowly pulling it. At the same time, Carmela came to his side, bent down and worked on something. He felt the binding around his thighs loosen, and then she stood up and pulled it off. Now his lower body was free. He tried to twist and loosen the wrappings around his upper body.
He stopped when he felt the straps attached to his ankles pulling them back. He resisted the pull by using his leg muscles to keep his legs straight out and flat on the table. The cloth straps dug into his shoulders as the girls pulled.
