Title: The New Shop: Story so far
Date: 28 November 2017

ianlt requested a who’s who because quite a few characters were in the story, so I decided to do a little more… And have a little fun with it too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the beginning there was blank, and he stood in turmoil, for he had been frozen and was in dire pain. And he didst not know or understand what had been done to him for he was a Master and owned a slave of his own named Bethan.

And a man came and pointed at the door, and he could move, and he hesitated and collapsed in further agony caused by the man, who was called Alpha.

And Alpha didst point again, and blank didst follow, but again froze for he realised he was locked in chastity and again didst the pain come, and it was a terrible pain. Thrice didst he experience this agony before finally crawling into the cage pointed at by Alpha.

And in the cage was another man. A man in a suit like his. And he didst signeth thus. “How R you?” but then, darkness engulfed them and nothing more could be said, and the man hugged and comforted blank through the night.

And in the morning didst Alpha point to the store, and the man, who’s name was Mary, didst indicate a display case and warned of dire punishments should he not obey, so he did obey, and remained frozen for the rest of the day.

And when he was released, didst he hear a strange sound, and Alpha leadeth them to a computer. And a voice sprang forth from the machine and it referred to blank as a slave.

When blank didst react as any man would at such a label, the voice dismisseth Alpha and ordered M to speak. Both looked confused, and lo, it didst come to pass that Mary had been renamed M and didst inform Master Q, for that was the owner of the voice, that Alpha had mistreated them severely, and Q grew angry.

When it transpired that a shoplifter had stolen from Q his anger grew and when he found M had been frozen, hidden away for all the time he’d been there, his fury knew no bounds and he banished Alpha and sentenced him to two months as a blank.

An lo, didst Joel enter the store to replace Alpha during his period of disgrace, and Joel was good.

And it came to pass that while on display, didst blank witness a very unwelcome sight, for this was a drug addict and a thief, and he didst take down notes of all the items in the store, and blank didst warn M, Joel and Q of the threat. And so, they prepared and didst capture and entrap the robbers in permanent suits of their own. And their number was five.

And one of the robbers was the shoplifter, and he didst immediately submit and told of one of the others. For this other was a sufferer, terrified was he of enclosed spaces. And lo, didst he also tell of the robbery and of the man who didst request it.

And Q, impressed with the capture of these robbers, didst elevate blank and name him, and his name was eleven.

And lo, didst the addict return to the store to seek out his friends, for he had grown worried and Joel didst trick him into a suit and he didst join his other accomplices.

And eleven didst offer his software services to Q, and Q was well pleased and bade eleven to pose as a blank and go downeth to comfort the claustrophobic and eleven found he didst like this new blank and that his brother was also blank and hadst been the one who attempted to slash eleven’s throat.

And he remained with this burglar for two days, comforting it, helping it to adjust, and on the second day didst more slaves appear, for they had been collected from across the nation and beyond.

And it came to pass, that eleven didst see a costume in the store, and it pleaseth him and he wouldst request it be used on the slasher, for the outfit was one of dog form and eleven thought it fitting punishment.

And Q approved and didst order eleven to also wear such a suit, but their suits would be special for eleven hadst offered some improvement ideas and Q saw them as good.

But before the suit was worn didst a new blank appear in their midst, and this blank was taken outside, for it was the man who had arranged the robbery, and he was afeared and resisted.

And Eleven was put into one of those suits and his name was Tyson and he was to remain as a dog for three days. Furthermore, Q also, had himself placed in a similar suit.

And in that time didst eleven learn to love being a dog but on the third day didst thieves appear and they stole Tyson away and Tyson was sorely aggrieved for the escape protocols had rendered him unconscious.

And he didst awaken in a frat house, immobile. And he didst work his jaw and tail furiously. And that night didst the freeze unlock and he pissed on the fratboy’s work, stole his cellphone and fled for home, for he knew which city he was in and it was the same city.

For two nights didst he race and for one day didst he sleep. And he didst sleep under garbage sacks for warmth and shelter, not being hindered by smell or taste.

And he didst reappear at the store and they were joyous at his return. And they washed him and fed him and allowed him speech to tell of his ordeals, and he didst request a further week as a dog.

And Q was well pleased and granted that, and while a dog, two new dogs were also born, and these were Slasher, brother to the claustrophobic and attacker of eleven and the ringleader of the robbery and his name was Sleazy.

And Tyson and Slasher learned to play and enjoyed themselves greatly.

Also during this time, two men did appear in the store, and one was the room mate of the man who stole Tyson, the other the thief himself, and the room mate submitted and became Omega, the thief donated to a charity as penance for his crimes.

And Q organised a tour, and Tyson, Slasher and M were part of that tour, and they travelled all across the city to sing the praises of the store, and they gained a lot of attention.

And the man who led them around the city was called the sarge.

And it came to pass that the final destination on their tour was a club, and in the club was a bar tender and that bar tender was called Luke and he submitted and and offered to recruit more from the club and learned to love the life of a slave.

For a week, Tyson remained, but after that week, he regained his two legs and became eleven again, and Q was well pleased and elevated him, and his name was sheathed in gold. And Q gave him a voice and after adjustment, his voice was good.

And eleven spaketh unto each of the slaves who were under his dominion, and he learneth that one was from his city and wished to share the life with his friends, and Q elevated him and he became twelve.

And he learneth that one was distressed severely at the loss of self and eleven granted him his place as a dog in order to be named and his name was Storm.

And one was an ex-con who was sorely distressed by his circumstance.

And one was a welder and amateur wrestler, and this pleased eleven greatly for he also wrestled.

And one was a tattooist, and Q was pleased for he could put those skills to good use.

And of the others, little was of interest for they were a realtor and a photocopy repairman and an ski instructor and their skills were deemed of no worth.

And Q proclaimed that a race would occur and bid eleven and M to select two more dogs each to join it, and eleven selected the twelve and the claustrophobic and they were called Fry, for he had been a delivery man and Bandit, for he had been a thief. And M selected the shoplifter and the ski instructor and they became Rascal and Phantom, and M became Max and Luke became Butch, and the race was set.

But Tyson and Slasher were not selected for the race, for they were to become hunters, to hinder and delay the other dogs.

And all the slaves but Joel not selected to become a dog departed to an unknown place to join their Master, Q.

And it came to pass that a man of the law didst appear and his name was Perkins, someone known to Max before his suit and he was greatly disturbed at the sight of the dogs and seeking the man who was inside Max.

And after the race he reappeared and accepted slavery for a time to speak to the others with Q, and he didst become Dixon and was destined to race in the next one…

And Q granted Sleazy a new name for his performance in the race and his name was Duke and he further elevated his status to that of Alpha dog that he wouldst join the hunters in the next race, and he granted eleven a boon for his performance in the race and he chose to name the blank who was Storm, that he could finally learn to love the life and he was greatly pleased, and the name given to him by Q was Psi and he granted the claustrophobic who had been Bandit an elevation in status and named him thirteen, for he won the race.

And another prize for eleven was to choose a new hunter and he chose thirteen, and the number of the hunters was four.

But Q was displeased with the performance of Rascal, for Rascal was last and thus, Rascal wouldst remain a dog for a further month.

And twelve’s pledge to recruit amongst his friends bore fruit and Q elevated him and sheathed his name in gold also.

And here endeth the lesson.

Praise be to Q.
