the future:as technology got more and more sophisticated,so too did the technology around'virtual reality'-inevitably some people want to experience 'adult virtual reality'-the American based company 'Mindseye' have developed the ultimate in virtual reality!until now only one of the'sense's' has been catered for 'sight'-but the new prototype headset claimed to stimulate all the senses!tiny electrical signals from the headset are beamed straight into the brain!a virtual farmyard was created-the wearer could now not only see but smell all the animals as well!and if the wearer suffered from hayfever they even started sneezing!but it was the 'adult' 'programmes' which proved most inovative!finally-fat middle aged men could have sex with the women of their dreams!all the'touch'sensations in the body could be activated!so the men could run their hands over apparently 'real' feeling female flesh!they must have looked a real comic sight as their hands caressed the empty air in front of them! but the 'fetish' scene complained there were no 'Programme's' for them!but the company soon filled this 'niche' market-Caroline Harris-an attractive 25 year old I.T. consultant was paid to come up with some new 'programmes' that would excite the Bdsm community!naturally she would be the first to try out the new programmes!they wanted things involving 'slavery''whipping''spanking''caning''Paddling' and 'torture'-the first 'Programme' to be tried out by Caroline was 'Slave girls'-Caroline puts on the headset -she was fully dressed-wearing jeans and jumper-but as soon as the 'Programme' starts 'running'she felt naked!she looked 'down'at herself-she was naked!she was on a ship somewhere-she could clearly smell the brine!a pile of clothes lay in front of her-they were very old fashioned clothes-mid 16th century in fact-somehow she knew the clothes were hers!and a man had just stripped her!she also somehow knew she was a English peasant woman from Plymouth-Mary Dawlish-one day she had been frolicking on the beach with her young husband Richard-the harvest had been brought in on time-the local squire was very pleased!the Dawlish's were good and loyal peasants who worked hard and always knew their place!so he had rewarded them with some time off to go to the beach to catch some fish to feed themselves-the couple were delighted!but unknown to them the squire was involved in the slave trade!he had been secretly 'selling off' the local peasants to Arab slavers from North Africa!this illegal trade had made him very rich!secretly concealing his ill gotten gains from Queen Elizabeth!a dark skinned Berber then grabbed 'Mary's' arm-another Berber then moved towards her with a glowing orange brand-Caroline cried out in pain as it touched her arm!she then smelt her own burning flesh!the brand then left a word written in some unknown lanquage on her arm,a Berber then attached a heavy slave collar around her neck-this joined her in a long chain to all the other women who had been sold into slavery-the women seemed absolutely real!they reacted in fear and dread as the Berbers cracked their long leather whips in front of them.this ship was made entirely of women-her husband had been put onto another ship,a Berber with the days 'meal'for the women arrived-each woman was given a small wooden bowl-which she had to hold out in front of her as the ships 'cook' laddled out some foul smelling 'stew'-the meat had gone off in the heat!as the ship nears the coast of Morocco-one woman spits it out all over one of the Berbers!he angrily grabs the woman-gesturing to one of his men to unchain her-Caroline-who could also smell the foul meat in front of her-saw an 'icon' on a nearby door-it said 'translation option'-Caroline instinctively blinked her right eye-the Berbers now started speaking in English!and the word on her arm-as on all the other womens arms-was now in English-it said 'Slave'-the woman was tied to one of the ships masts by the Berbers-then given twenty lashes!the women were all splashed by the womans blood from the whip!including Caroline!her nostrils were assailed by the 'iron' smell that blood always gave off 'you idiot!' the Berber says to the Berber doing the whipping 'you killed her!'-the Berber holding the whip was the same man who had got the faceful of putrid stew!perhaps not the perfect candidate!'the sultan will have your liver for breakfast for that!'he slapped him hard against the face 'i knew i should have led Abdul do the whipping!'he said regretfully 'he's a craftsman with that whip!he knows how to do it just hard enough to not break the skin!'.it was very hot now!Caroline could feel herself sweating!one of the Berbers called 'Land Ahoy!'and the ship docked in bustling market town of Tangier-before embarking the women were branded again-this time with a special number-the number representing the particular 'area' the woman had been seized in-Caroline being branded with '327'-that way in the future,the slavers kept record of local 'markets' in the land of the 'infidel'-'markets' at Plymouth,Cherbourg,Hamburg,and elsewhere-the Hanseatic league in particular was a valuable source for beautiful fair haired women!local German noble families whose wives had been found to not be 'virgins' on their wedding nights were eagerly traded!the women were led in groups of three off the ship to the local slave market-Caroline was joined to a German woman from Bremen and an Italian girl,somewhere at the back of Caroline's consciousness she knew none of all this was real!but for the moment it was!especially when she felt a bamboo cane hit her ass!'move infidel whore!'the Berber screamed in her face!she could even smell his rancid breath!she obeyed!at the slave market the women were shown off-potential buyers prodded the women in their most intimate places!Caroline winced as two fingers were inserted into her vagina!'nice and tight!i'll take her for 2,000 Camels!'the slave collar was removed from Caroline's neck-the slave market disapeared as Brian Howard-her assistant,removed the 'helmet''Wow!that was great!'she said-coming back to mundane reality-measuring instruments nearby made sure things were all perfectly 'safe' during the programme-Caroline seemed unharmed by her experiences-in fact she wanted to try it again!'oh!i'm so thirsty!can you get me a glass of water please?'-no one thought anything of it at the time-Caroline had been working hard all day after all.that night she went home to her apartment in Brooklyn,before going to bed she has a shower-as she soaps her right arm she is horrified to see the word 'slave' there!she runs to the bathroom mirror-327 was on her chest!she picks up the phone 'Brian!you must come here quickly!'Half an hour later Brian was at her apartment-now dressed in jeans and white t-shirt-she showed Brian the branding marks 'sorry?what are you talking about?'he says puzzled-the marks have mysteriously gone!Brian smiled reasuringly!'there the mind's 'after images'-you know when you stare at a light and suddenly look away?'Caroline smiled!she understood perfectly.Brian then made a phone call of his own 'everything going according to plan!'he says to the man at the other end-'good!'he replied.at 3:00 a.m. Caroline awoke with a start- she got dressed and headed back to Mindseye-she showed her pass to the guard-she unlocked the 'testing room'-not bothering with the machine to check her heart rate,she switched on the machine and put the helmet back on-the words 'continue programme/start next game-she touched a small button on her helmet-soon she was back in the market-she wanted to finish the rest of the programme off!suddenly she felt very hot in the chilly testing room-with the helmet still on she stripped naked.Caroline now found herself in a sumptious palace!she was taken to the harem-eunuchs bathed her and she was dressed in a 'skimpy'costume-the Berber had bought Caroline on the orders of the Sultan of Morocco's grand-vizier-she was taken to him-he was a grossly fat and ugly man!with appaling breath!he clapped his hands and all his slaves retreated-he wanted to 'try' out his latest slave girl!Caroline was horrified!while he was on top of her with his massive weight she grabbed the dagger he was carrying and stabbed him with it-it was not a mortal wound-he had so much blubber protecting his heart!'guards!guards!'the palace guards come rushing in 'take this infidel witch and whip her to death!then dump her body in the desert for the locusts to eat!'CRACK!CRACK!CRACK!-now naked-Caroline was being severely whipped by a huge muscular Nubian eunuch-the pain was indescrible!in front of her she sees an icon -end game?/continue?-this was the fail safe system in operation-if the 'pain' became too much then the operator could end the game-different people after all had different pain 'thresholds'-but Caroline was not wired up to the machine monitoring her heart![when marketed,the machine would have a built in 'Cardiac monitor' that would automatically 'shut down' the programme if the strain on the heart was proving 'excessive']she kept blinking her right eye to make it stop-but nothing happened!CRACK!CRACK!CRACK!-the familiar 'iron' smell was back!Caroline could also feel her own blood trickling onto the marble palace floor-the grand vizier is watching-he ordered one of his eunuchs to quickly fetch the mop!he didn't want his beautiful floor ruined by the blood of an infidel!Blackness finally clouded Caroline's mind.'heart failure'was the official cause of Caroline's death according to the coroners report-the silly girl had ignored all of the safety warnings of course!the company's hands were totally clean!and so 'Mindseye'rolled out their 'adult' range of 'games'.a few years later,the U.S. govenment was using a Mindseye machine on a captured terrorist-they managed to convince him he was a double agent working for them!-it seems poor Caroline was secretly being used by them as their 'guinea pig'!SECRETSPANKER
