"A New Life" [Closed for PP01 & HoneyB] Read and we hope Enjoy.
The town of Lakeland, Florida, still had a small town atmosphere even though it was so close to Orlando and Disney World and all of the other theme parks and tourist attractions. It was beginning to grow and adopting pretensions of being a big city though so I’d bought a parcel of land out in the unincorporated county with a two-story house, detached garage connected to the house by a breezeway and a barn.
The fifteen acres was enclosed by a four foot high hog wire boundary fence and I had “wait a minute” vines, with there nasty little curved thorns, planted all along the fence line. In addition there are “Spanish Bayonet” plants with their inch or longer hard spikes to deter unwanted visitors or nosey trespassers. There’s a two hundred foot wide strip of natural forest and undergrowth around the perimeter of the property to provide added privacy, and to take advantage of Florida’s “Green Belt” property tax break.
I’m Professor Thaddeus Goodman, Professor of Medieval History at the University of Central Florida. I’ve several books published in my name on the Inquisition, Italy during the time of Prince Nicolo Machevelli, who authored one of my favorite quotes. “Vengeance is a dish best served cold.” I’ve also authored the text used in my classes.
I was in my office, a graduate level student was in the lecture hall I use showing a video of a trip I’d made to Europe to visit the sites of various of the Inquisition’s ‘trials’ with my voice over explaining what was being seen and how the various apparatus worked. After all the Inquisition was noted for it’s tortures used to extract confessions and the trip provided a tax write off vacation, so let the students ponder man’s inhumanity to man for awhile at tax payer expense.
The scenes were all the more graphic because I’d hired two models, a man and a woman who were clad only in brief bathing suits, to capture the attention of the students as one or the other was placed on the various apparatus. This particular lecture was one of the most attended and was generally S.R.O.
Tomorrow I’d hold a Q & A session and then assign a paper on the topic of the Inquisitions methods of interrogation and the pros and cons of physical torture to extract confessions. Those were always ‘interesting’ to read.
Today, however, I was waiting for the arrival of a new member of the faculty. I was to be her assigned mentor as she acclimated to the University and the ins and outs of Florida’s education system, which should be a topic of a paper on frequent boondoggles.
Unknown to the almost all of those I work with and my students, I also have an alter ego. I’m well known and respected within an alternative lifestyle community as a writer of reference material dealing with it and it’s aspects. I write under a nom-de-plume of course to ensure privacy and all mail, email, etc goes to a post office box or email in that name. My Internet connections go through an anonymous routing to avoid any electronic tracing.
I was sitting proofing and editing print out of an article titled “Why Erotic Power Exchange as a Lifestyle?” as I waited for her arrival.
