Occupational Hazzards
Chapter One
My name is Travis James, a retired U.S. Air Force
officer. My namesake was the first James who landed in
Virginia from Ireland in 1801 following his mustering
out from King George's army. He was given a plot of
land and farmed it until his death in 1828. I imagine
my ancestor would be a bit puzzled about what I now do
for a living. Upon my retirement as a warrior, I began
a new career; it's quite a drastic departure from my
former vocation. Initially, it was to be just a job
that I'd conduct with willing participants. Over the
years, I've honed my skills. It's turned out to be a
very a good thing I became proficient at my duties.
I've been able to keep my employers happy, and except
for a couple of instances, their clients satisfied.
For the most part, I've avoided being on the receiving
end of the techniques I've perfected. My position with
the Cooper Organization calls for me to induce pain.
Most of these techniques work equally as well on men
as well as women; however, females seem to need less
physical punishment. I've found that women have more
respect for their bodies. This is most likely because
they fear that extensive damage will hinder the
ability to bear and nurture children. As an aside,
women have a higher capacity for pain. I suppose this
too has to do with bearing children.
Two constants underlying any application of pain are
terror and stress that must be administered from the
beginning and gradually increased. Stress takes two
forms: mental and physical. Any other punishment
simply builds on these two constants. For example, I
normally begin by inducing physical stress through
bondage. The most efficient method is the trite but
proven spread-eagle position as this gives access to
the entire body.
Tonight, my subject is Lorrie Millard. Her husband, an
Organization board member, and her lesbian lover are
sitting placidly nearby on tall stools to observe and
assist if needed. This will be Lorrie's first session
conducted by a professional. Lorrie is tiny, just a
hair over five feet tall and weighing considerably
less than 100 pounds. However, she is quite shapely
with a milky complexion and short, cropped blond hair.
She has attractive dimples in her cheeks and in her
hips in the small of her back. We've jointly stripped
Lorrie and I easily lift her to attach her to a
modified wooden rack with a pivot bolt at the boards'
intersection. Adjustable rods are affixed on each side
of the cross forming an "X" within a rectangle. This
allows unlimited stress adjustment. Wood also allows
the easy application of nails/pegs/notches for
leverage and for securing bindings. An added bonus is
a rough texture that stimulates the nerves. It's
important to keep in mind that when applying any
technique, I need to stimulate Lorrie's nerves. This
means keeping the blood flowing, keeping the air
moving, keeping the moans constant and the screams
coming; my customers like this.
I tie Lorrie facing up on the cross. Her arms are
extended overhead by cuffing the wrists and pulling
the attached ropes to the rear both through
pre-notched slots in the cross. Taut suffices
initially. This is repeated with the legs. Wide
leather wrist and ankle cuffs are preferred as they
gradually give over time allowing further adjustments.
I prefer hemp rope for the same reason. The aromas
these materials emit are another nerve stimulating
bonus. When heat and sweat is later added, the aromas
are enhanced.
While completing the initial binding, I omit any gags
as the customers will enjoy Lorrie's mock, futile
pleadings. I watch for increased respiration,
perspiration and, of course, listen for any cartilage
snapping. Popping sounds are fine to induce. I stop
when these signs are all apparent; adjustment can be
done later.
My job of tormentor (called Lead Disciplinarian on my
contract and pain boss by my clientele and coworkers)
calls for me to be an actor as well. I exaggerate the
difficulty in securing the bindings by breathing hard
and salivating. My sweat drips on Lorrie and enhances
the presentation as well as increases her excitement
and that of the audience. Unconcerned body contact,
rough handling, fingernail scratches and stretching
Lorrie's body over the wood adds to the perfect
initial assault. Lorrie is now secure.
