Punishment is essential but this story isn’t about disciplining men. It’s about transforming them into what they should be.
Reckoning
Turning Men into Merchandise
by Amity Harris
Meeting Their Reckoning
The company sent Alpha, Bravo and Charlie teams across the country to extract eight men from their evil lives and deliver them to the underground facility where they meet their Reckoning. Once they walk on unsteady legs down the long staircase through the Entry door, who they are is erased. They endure eight weeks of payback for their lifelong mistreatment of women. From Breakpoint to Physical to Psych to Skills to Meeting and Trial, they are prepared every hour of every day for Delivery. The pre-sold men are turned into merchandise their new owners ordered. Personal boys, cross-dressers, house slaves, a gelding and one transformed girl are on the buyers’ order forms.
Men Transformed
The Reckoning staff are skilled in turning men into the property their buyers specify. The Advisory Committee and investors built Reckoning to kidnap the most problematic men and to train them to entice buyers. The trainers use cutting-edge electric prods to force the captives to surrender to their new lives and to perfect their skills to serve. To increase their rental potential, their secondary talents are uncovered and developed so they can be rented by their owners for profit. Join their lives in rock-walled cells and suffer through their eight weeks of Reckoning.
Introduction to Reckoning — Turning Men into Merchandise
MEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY went about their usual lives that ordinary Tuesday. In three cities, teams reviewed their extraction plans one last time and rechecked their equipment. When the team leaders were satisfied they were ready, they signaled Control. It was a go.
Constance and Romy made up Alpha Team; Arden and Petra were Bravo. Charlie team was Kona and Sophia. The six women were well-trained operatives who never failed to separate their targets from their environments. They never attracted attention when they did their work. They were that good.
They had studied the men Research identified for this delivery for weeks. Video cameras gave them 360-degree views along with audio of their homes and workplaces, including their daily commutes and lunch habits. Research got into their calendars easily, mostly due to inane passwords, and prime locations for extraction were chosen. Places where they’d never be missed.
Sales had social media copy ready to post when the men were bagged and spirited away. Believable posts. With photos. They’d done this several times before and even law enforcement quickly dropped the cases. They weren’t missing persons. They were retired, needed a break, wanted a change in their lives. Updates were dripped weekly, then monthly. Then their accounts vanished.
No one really missed them, certainly not for long. They were the type of men their coworkers were glad never to have to suffer again.
Berkley ran Sales. Six of the eight in this lot were pre-sold and she had firm offers for the other two. Once word got out of the kind of men they had for sale, inquiries skyrocketed. Why buy a man you have to train when you could buy one built to order? The exclusive network of women shoppers was eager to put in orders for exactly what they wanted.
When the inquiries came in, Research found the men who fit the requirements. This time, they came from Iowa, Arizona, Utah, New Jersey, Tennessee, Oregon, Texas and Missouri. Research was a mysterious part of the business and Berkley learned not to ask too many questions about them. She sent in the orders and Research identified the targets. Then Alpha, Bravo and Charlie teams went to work. The captives were transported to the Entry point. Once the big door closed behind them, the extraction teams’ work was done. They were paid on the spot.
Eight weeks later, the trained men walked out the same Entry door to be handed over to their buyers who took ownership. Commissions were deposited in the staff accounts each time an owner was handed their merchandise. The next day, a new group was sent through the Entry door and climbed down the dark staircase to the place they would shed their old lives and learn to embrace new ones.
The lives their new owners specified on their order forms.
Dozens of women who had suffered those men’s abuses were freed from that daily horror.
When they reached the bottom of the steep staircase, the men would be held to account for their lifetimes of arrogance and abuse.
It was the time and place for them to meet their reckoning.
