Report One: Early Subject Observation
Margret when she awoke in what appeared to be a narrow three meter by five meter stable stall. Yes a stall, complete with a bed of straw which insulated her nude body from the cold concrete floor, with shoulder high two inch thick hard wood partitions to either side. The narrow ends of the stall had the barns wood wall at one end and a rope net gate at the other narrow end. The worst was Margret, shaking with goose bumps due to the morning cold in this unheated barn building.
She not only was laid out on the pile of straw without a blanket but also stripped bare and nude wearing only a leather body harness of straps that not only exposed, but enhanced the intimate parts of her body. There was a bridle with a rough hard metal bit inserted uncomfortably so deep in her mouth that made understandable speech impossible and her back wisdom teeth prevented her from fully closing her mouth. Margret’s arms were tightly bound together by a series of straps from her wrists to her elbows straight down behind her back. Margret’s last thoughts the night before was when she climbed into bed in her one bedroom apartment after putting on thick warm cotton winter pajamas to get a good night’s sleep.
Margret had no clue how she got here in this condition or the reasons.
Most importantly why her? Why is she was here, thinking at first this must be a nightmare, which anytime now her alarm clock should be ringing, snapping her out of this all too real feeling nightmare.
Margret was twenty-five year old average petite figured sandy haired brunette part time University student, who was 150 cm in height and 55 kg weight . As she came further awake found herself now shivering with fear, adding to the shaking from the cold, in this unheated barn. Her mind considered other explanations that came to her mind. Perhaps she had she been drugged and kidnapped? But no, she had no enemies that hated her this much, or wealth that made a ransom possible. However there was always that she had just gone crazy and was delusional? Margret hopefully settled on her first thought, just all a bad dream, a nightmare from which she would soon awake. She had no other logical answer, for nothing seemed to fit logically.
Then when two men, 180 cm tall, dressed as ranch hands with impassive faces moving in an awkward almost mechanical manner entered the barn. They approached the narrow stable stall she was being held in, Margret as the pair approached screamed in panic backing into a corner of that stall. Bound as Margret was there was no way she could cover her nakedness, also in that instant of panic realized that if they desired to assault and rape her there was nothing she could do to prevent it. Margret was almost strangely relieved when all the odd pair of ranchmen did upon opening the rope net gate, entering her stall was to clip reins to her bit rings on either side of her face. After clipping these reins on her the two ranchmen in this nightmare proceeded without a word dragged the reluctant woman nude and barefooted as she was outside. Margret made as she squirmed incoherent noises of protest. Once outside Margret’s heart skipped a few beats when seeing she was not alone. As she saw that around on this nightmare Ranch where first a pair of naked brown complexioned women, one with black hair the other with dark brown hair harnessed as a draft team to and pulling a loaded what appeared to be what you would see on a old western movie or television show, a western buckboard. Next it was then Margret saw there was another naked outfitted as she was woman from her bare complexion apparently Asian, with blue-black hair in harness plowing an adjoining field of this Ranch. Lastly there was one young black woman tied nearby to a carousel being pulled by her reins to walk around in a circle.
All five women including herself, were barefooted, wearing similar body strap harnesses, bitted as her being used, treated like they were livestock instead of human beings. Margret was semi-dragged by her attached reins to join the naked harnessed and bridle bitted young black woman. At first they were made to walk around, if Margret or the other black woman stopped the two impassive faced ranchmen who remained in attendance with them would whip them on the butt, without a word until they again started walking. After a few hours of this odd boring routine, it was changed when Margret and the black girl were next made to prance around high stepping, being wacked behind the knees when they did not raise the knees hi enough in that circle tied to this carousel for more hours’ non-stop.
This wordless treatment was interrupted after mid day, Margret guessing based on that the sun had passed its highest point overhead. Having now dry lips and mouth from having a open mouth which bitted she could not close. Margret desperately awaited her turn for a drink of plain water from the communal bucket being used by the women hanging from a tree. Afterward one of the ranchmen hung a feed bag on her head for Margret to eat an unappetizing plain granola lunch. That afternoon until nightfall was filled when all five women were put to hard labor in harness together dragging logs to be stacked; this hard labor was only broken by periodic breaks for water, and to be led aside to relieve themselves in the open just like livestock.
When the sun finally set that first day of the nightmare which Margret wonders unbelievably why she has not yet awoken? Margret and the four other women were taken inside the barn, to a shallow lipped tub area in a corner of the barn which had drains in the concrete floor. There they were washed down with cold water from a plain hoses and rubbed roughly down by the silent impassive ranchmen to dry. Then given another unappetizing meal which she was not sure had dried fruit mixed into the plain granola again via a feed bag hung on their heads in front of their bitted faces. Margret and the four women ate only because of their hunger and afterward being put back in the same three by five meter stalls that all five awoke, this first morning. During this entire initial nightmare day no one either the five attendant ranchmen or the five women spoke to her.
