By his second year in college, Matt was in a bind. His scholarships weren't enough to pay for everything any more. He had to find a job. Then he saw a note on the school bulletin board. Some entertainment company was offering good money to the right person who was in good shape and who didn't mind a little physical exertion.
Matt’s face lit up. He was on the college wrestling team and he worked out every day. This could be just the kind of job he needed. Matt called the number and spoke to a friendly voice who told him to bring his wrestling singlet with him when they picked him up on Friday night.
A car came for Matt and took him out to a nice house in the suburbs. Then he met the man who had spoken to on the phone. He was a fairly big man who looked like he might have done some wrestling himself. The man told Matt to change into his singlet and then he put Matt through some rigorous exercises to see how fit he was. Matt did all of these things easily and thanked the nice man when he handed him a towel.
Matt used the towel to wipe all of the sweat that was dripping from his face. The towel was nice and soft, but it had kind of strange sweet smell on it. Matt started to ask for a different towel, but all of a sudden he felt really dizzy and he started falling right into the man’s strong arms.
When Matt opened his eyes again he was completely confused. Had he fainted? He had never fainted before. Then he realized that he was lying in an awkward position on the rug. Matt tried to sit up and that was when he discovered that tight ropes had been tied around his wrists and his ankles. What was going on here?
Then Matt saw the smiling man standing over him and he tried to ask him what the meaning of this was. That was when Matt discovered that he mouth had been filled up with some spongy cloth and he lips had been taped over with some kind of tape. His polite questions became frightened moans as he ran his tongue over the cloth inside his mouth. Suddenly he realized what the cloth was. It was somebody’s sweaty sock! It was his sock, and now he could taste his own rank sweat on his tongue. This prompted more frightened moans to come out of the back of his throat as Matt began to feel sick to his stomach.
The man couldn't understand the words Matt was saying, but he didn't have to. He had heard the same words from many other frightened young men before. So he just smiled down at the captive student and let a short coiled whip dangle down from his hand so that Matt could see it.
“All right young man let’s get started. I am going to tell you what to do and then you are going to do it. If you don't—well my customers are accustomed to seeing young men with welts and bruises.”
Matt’s eyes almost bugged out of his head as they stared at the evil looking whip that was dangling down in front of his eyes. Something like that wouldn't just sting; it would take nasty bites out of your skin. Matt swallowed hard and heard a whimpering sound coming out of his throat.
The man smiled. “That’s much better. Now we're going to begin by taking some nice publicity photos of you. Our fans like to see what our fighters look like before they become damaged.
“Damaged…? Who was going to get damaged?” Matt’s brain was racing even while his eyes were mesmerized by the sharp tip of the whip that was now almost touching his bare skin.
“Good, now sit up. That’s right, nice and straight,” the man’s voice purred while the camera he was holding began to click and flash in front of Matt’s shocked eyes.
“Now sit back, a little more, that’s better. Our fans like a nice package.”
Matt obeyed the man’s voice mechanically and tried not flinch each time the flash went off. At the same time, his inner voice was chastising him for being such a complete idiot. Matt hadn't told anyone about the new job offer and no one knew where he was right now. Worse than that, Matt had been so excited about getting the job that he hadn't paid any attention to where the car was taking him. So now Matt didn't even know where he was!
“That was nice, now let’s try a little more rope,” the man’s soft voice directed Matt.
Matt shook his head from side to side and whimpered a little more. He didn't want any more of that tight rope tied around his body. But he was so confused and feeling like such a fool that he didn't even think about putting up any resistance while the man moved Matt’s body this way and that while he wrapped more and more rope around Matt’s helpless body.
“There, that’s better. Now I want you to really struggle. Good, good, let’s see what kind of a fighter you really are.”
Something inside of Matt, maybe the fear or the excitement of what all of this struggling was doing to his body, made Matt put on a really good show while the camera continued to click and flash all around him.
Finally the flashes stopped and Matt blinked the stars out of his eyes. Then he looked up to see the man smiling down at him.
“Yes, I think you will do very well. We'll be scheduling your first match for tomorrow night. Now here is the deal. If you do well and win your match, we will deposit some nice prize money in an account for you. But, if you lose, then we will drop you off at the hospital with no memory of who you are or where you've been.”
“The hospital…!” Matt’s inner voice screamed in his ear. “What kind of wrestling match would put Matt in the hospital?”
“Now I want you to get plenty of rest before your match tomorrow,” the man continued in his soothing voice.
Matt looked up from the floor to see the man holding his other sweat sock now folded into a soft pad in his hand and now the man was pouring some kind of liquid from a dark bottle onto his sock.
Matt tried to resist, but tied up as he was there was no escape while the man held him and pressed the damp sock over Matt’s nose. The damp sock reeked of the same sweet smell that Matt had smelled earlier on the towel only this was much stronger.
Darkness gathered around Matt’s eyes while he heard the man’s soft voice telling him; “Pleasant dreams young man. They will be the last pleasant dreams you have.”
