EPILOGOUE
After the talk with the two girls, Jack Malone sprung into action. He called the
school's Board of Trustees, asking for an immediate meeting. While Shannon was a
bit embarrassed at having to rehash everything again, she knew the greater good
of ending this nude punishment outweighed it all.
The Board acted immediately...with grave results for some of the characters.
Once copies of the videotapes was found in Mr. Jones' office, many people had
some explaining to do.
ERIC GORBO
The tape of the boy digitally raping Shannon during her first week of punishment
was sent to the police and sexual assault was added to the charges he was
already facing. Once word of the rape and the other indecency charges reached
Miami, the football scholarship was revoked and no other school came forward.
Eric's lawyers worked out a deal where he would serve one year of intense
community service...because of the nature of his crimes, he was sentenced to
nude physical labor. So every day for a year, he was there with the rest of the
chain gang, picking up litter alongside the highway, painting municipal
buildings, mowing grass, shoveling snow, etc., all while completely naked.
When the news spread, girls throughout the area would flock to find where the
prisoners were working...all wanting a peek of the boy's hard body and naked
cock. After all, his Internet movie was now world famous.
Eric survived this humiliation and degradation. After a year, he tried to find
work, but few places would hire him after his history. Finally, he found a job
working as a towel boy in the local gym.
MR. FIRGUS
Jack Malone confronted his old neighbor, who quickly apologized, arguing that
his sexual desires got the better of him. He did point out that he would have
never physically harmed Shannon in any way. While this was probably true, Jack
was unwilling to accept him living across the street.
Firgus resigned from his job as director of the sexual deviants unit at the
local psychiatric hospital and sold his house, moving to an over-55 active
retired community. There would be no young girls for him to humiliate, a fact
that saddened him after nearly 60 years of doing it for work and pleasure.
As a final gesture of thanks to Shannon and Jack for all they had done for him,
he dropped an envelope into their mailbox. It was a check for $50,000 made
payable to Shannon Malone, with the words "College Fund" written in the memo
field.
VINCE THE BUS DRIVER
Once word got back to the bus company that Vince, while not breaking any laws,
had contributed to the humiliation and degradation of the naked students, he was
removed from the school bus route after more than a decade of service. He was
assigned a route where he would be less tempted...driving groups of senior
citizens from the local retirement community, ironically the same one where
Firgus lived. Now, instead of driving fresh young bodies to school, Vince lugged
old women and men to the mall, supermarket, church, bingo, etc.
Once in a while, Vince and Firgus discuss the old times and the girls they used
to ogle. Usually reminiscing while waiting outside of the local deli for the
senior ladies to return.
BARBARA KELLY
The gym teacher was given a severe reprimand and a one-year suspension from
teaching after her particularly dastardly treatment of Shannon. The only thing
that saved her job was Shannon, who spoke out about the kindness that Miss Kelly
had shown her at times. Because of this, the gym teacher was suspended with pay
and her position was held for her during her year away.
Barbara felt awful afterwards and wrote Shannon, begging for the girl's
forgiveness. Shannon was having a particularly awful day, especially since her
pubic hair, which Miss Kelly had forced her to shave, was coming in and causing
her awful itching and irritation. But Shannon saw through her own discomfort and
wrote a nice letter of forgiveness back to her former tormentor.
MR. KELLY
The disciplinarian was given a letter of reprimand for carrying out the orders
that had been laid out by Mr. Jones. Shannon testified that Mr. Kelly had never
done anything inappropriate to her, but the school board found that his actions
were malicious anyway. Mr. Kelly was allowed to keep his job though and the
students noticed a definite difference in his demeanor.
MISS EDWARDS
The English teacher, who had always felt bad about the school's treatment of
Shannon and had lodged several complaints to the Mr. Jones, came to see the girl
the day of the final punishment. She said she was terribly sorry that she hadn't
done more to stop the craziness and would always feel bad about what had
happened. Shannon, of course, set the woman's mind at ease, thanking her for the
hugs and attention, but most of all for the kindness she had shown, the only
kind she had received from any adult at the school.
Miss Edwards also went to the school board, backing up Shannon and Carrie's
claims. It was all the collaboration needed to convince the board that Jones was
in the wrong. The woman was given the task of taking over as principal on an
interim basis...at the end of the year, with the full support of the students,
parents and faculty, she was named the permanent principal of St. Mark's.
Of course, her first task as interim principal was to eliminate naked
punishments and humiliations. Her memo read: "no matter what, students must be
treated with the respect they deserve. Stripping them of their clothes, and
therefore their dignity, does not stay within the boundaries of decency that any
school should."
MRS. PHILLIPS
The principal's secretary assumed that she would be sent out after Mr. Jones was
no longer the principal. She had eagerly joined in with the man in the
humiliation of Shannon, delighting in putting the girl down. But it was her
change of heart after hearing about the "experiment" that saved her job. Shannon
remembered the kindness and concern and accepted the apology letter sent to her
by the woman. Miss Edwards decided to keep the woman on, as long as her attitude
towards the students changed. It did and she enjoyed a long and happy career
working under Miss Edwards.
FR. HAGLIN
Desperately trying to avoid another black eye on the Catholic Church, the powers
of the order in which he belonged begged the Malone's to please keep the
situation with Fr. Haglin quiet. They promised retribution and transfer of the
man. Jack looked to Shannon for her approval and quickly got it...the girl
wanted nothing to do with publicity.
Fr. Haglin was assigned to a segment of the order that lived in the mountainous
region of Canada. There the priests lived a monastical life, shunning all
creature comforts, including clothes. Shannon received an anonymous envelope in
the mail, showing the priest struggling to plow a field using animals and
ancient tools...and of course the girl had to smile as she saw the exertion on
the man's face and body as he did so in the frigid temperatures while being nude
and barefoot.
MR. JONES
The principal knew his time was up when Jack Malone stormed into the school and
carried his nude and battered daughter out of the school that day. Why he didn't
destroy the hours of videotape that he had collected of the nude punishments and
humiliations was a question on most people's minds.
He was quickly removed from his office, given indefinite leave of absence while
the case was heard. While he was found guilty of misbehavior, etc, no one could
find serious criminal behavior by the man. While he had certainly gone beyond
the moral law of his job, he had not broken any of man's laws. He had been smart
enough to maintain enough distance to each humiliation so that he was following
the letter of the law set down by the school board...until Fr. Haglin's
experiment, which he blamed on the priest entirely.
However, his abuse of power was more than sufficient for the school board to
remove him as principal. But, he had received tenure the previous year, making
it impossible to get rid of him. The school board provided him the opportunity
to stay with the school but he was allowed no authoritative role in the school.
Miss Edwards named him director of audio/visual services, basically making him
the guy who teachers came to for requests such as VCRs, DVDs, TVs, etc. He was
allowed to continue employed at St. Mark's as long as he was never seen talking
or interacting with a student except when the need arose as part of his
job...i.e., a student needing equipment, etc.
The school board also added a caveat...he could stay employed as long as he
followed the strict dress code imposed on just him. Therefore, the man earned
nearly $80,000 as the naked AV guy, walking the halls of the school, his bare
feet slapping against the cold tile while he delivered the equipment to each
classroom. The students laughed and pointed when they saw his flabby belly and
butt and his shriveled dick roaming through the halls. They tortured the man,
calling him names and playing tricks on him. Jones put up with it, knowing that
he would be unable to find work elsewhere, especially not making the money he
was. So every day, he was forced to feel the way he had made Shannon, Carrie and
the other nude students feel...inferior and alone.
The first day he had been forced to strip had been dreadful...Miss Edwards had
called a special assembly and then called him up. The students were shocked as
the man slid off his suit coat and then removed his tie. He kicked off his shoes
and socks before nervously removing his shirt and pants. The giggles from the
crowd of students and teachers was overwhelming as he stood there in a tank
undershirt and boxers, his cock now rock hard and pointing out of the fly. There
were people pointing at him and he was humiliated.
"Alright Mr. Jones, I think you should know that your disrobing is not
complete...please finish and put your clothes in this bag."
The man pulled off his undershirt, revealing a bigger belly than most people
thought he had. He then lowered the boxers and stood completely bare before the
school, the place where he had once ruled with an iron fist. Now he was reduced
to nothing.
From the wings, Shannon and Carrie enjoyed the show. They shuddered at the
memory of their first stripping here in this room, but both were glad that the
principal was getting his. They were also happy to see that the man was forced
to stay naked during his drive to work and had to arrive at school and leave the
building nude, just as they had. Turnabout is fair play Mr. Jones, they thought.
CARRIE
The girl, who had been so painfully shy and quiet before and during the nude
punishment, came completely out of her shell. She became an outspoken advocate
for the rights of women and girls, especially within the Catholic Church. She
volunteered at a local battered women's shelter and started a phone line at
school where girls could call if they were in some trouble. She figured that she
and Shannon could have used a place like that when they were in their lowest
moments.
Carrie, who had always dreamed of going to NYU and pursuing acting, instead
decided on Brown. There she could still study acting and theatre while also
keeping her hand in counseling, something to fall back on...it was a win-win
situation, she figured since she loved doing both things!
She and Craig stayed together all through college. Craig went to school in
nearby Kingston, enrolling at the University of Rhode Island. The two became
inseparable, sealed by the fact that Craig was there for her when she was at her
lowest. A wedding is tentatively scheduled for June 2007, the summer after they
will graduate with Bachelor's degrees.
SHANNON
While the physical pain and abuse healed quickly, the psychological and
spiritual damage done to the girl would always be known as nude Shannon was slow
to heal. Despite the fact that her schoolmates supported her, she could never
get beyond the fact that everyone there had seen her completely nude and
humiliated. She felt that everyone of them was undressing her in their mind,
seeing her nude body the way it had been before, not as it was now, covered by
the uniform of her school that every girl wore.
She had been surprised to learn that she was the choice to be senior class
president since she had not run. A covert write-in campaign had been set up and
she had beaten the real candidates by 2 to 1. But she never got to serve in the
office as she never returned to St. Mark's.
That summer, she begged her father to send her to another school, any place but
St. Mark's. When pressed for a reason, she broke down in sobs, telling her
father all of her fears and feelings. He needed to hear no more and quickly
agreed.
He and Colleen accompanied Shannon on a tour of private girls schools in the
area. She decided on Our Lady of Grace after meeting with some of the teachers
and students. Jack and Colleen discussed Shannon's case with the principal who
agreed to keep it quiet. They decided she was in good hands and immediately
signed her up. Shannon used some of the money from Mr. Firgus to pay the extra
tuition...though her father told her that he was willing to pay for it, the girl
wanted to do this herself for herself.
Shannon tearfully shared the news with Carrie. Though the two were saddened at
the thought they would be apart, both knew this was the only way. While Carrie
had gotten beyond her punishment and grown, she knew that Shannon's exposure and
humiliation had been far worse and longer. She yearned to have her old friend
back, not this shell that had been in Shannon's body for the past few months.
The new school was exactly the thing that Shannon needed. Her self-esteem
returned and her grades, which had slipped a little during and after her nude
three weeks, skyrocketed. In just a few weeks at OLG, she was at the top of the
class and one of the most popular girls in the school.
In addition, her basketball skills had earned more notice. Instead of
concentrating on her nudity, coaches saw her as the player she truly was. The
end of the St. Mark's season last year had seen her lead the team to the
playoffs and earn all-conference status. At Our Lady of Grace, she led the squad
to a berth in the state championship game, the school's first. That earned the
attention of several coaches, including the woman at Brown who, after also
seeing her grades, offered the girl a full financial aid package to attend the
prestigious Ivy League school.
At Brown, she lived with Carrie, best friends reunited. The only time that
Shannon set foot on St. Mark's grounds was to see her friend graduate on the
football field. She was filled with pride but also cried at the thoughts of what
might have been.
As for Mark, he never stopped loving and supporting her, even during those dark
days. He had stood with her when she was nude, when she was depressed and angry
immediately after the punishment and when she transferred schools. He had
accompanied her to every dance and formal that Our Lady of Grace had and she had
been his date at the formal proms and dances at the Academy. She had been proud
to see him graduate from high school and was glad to know that he had chosen to
go to school at Providence College in Rhode Island, choosing to be closer to her
once she went to Brown. That was his signal to her that he intended them to be
together for a long time.
He had proposed to her the night of her graduation party. While she cried and
thanked him for the honor, she declined. "Mark, I love you so much, but I need
to take care of myself for a while first. Let's keep things the way they are and
then reconsider later."
Mark understood and the two continued on as lovers and friends.
As Shannon wrote in her journal that night she got her clothes back: "They
thought they had beaten me, that my nudity revealed all of me to them. But they
were wrong...I was naked, but part of me was hidden. I can't wait to find that
part of me again, to make up for all that they did to her. Now I can just be
me."
