A nap

Alyssa was tired from all the flying, and simply desired some rest before she enoyed the facilities.

"Well, I am here for a week. There is no need to rush things. I think I may go have a nap in my room."

The man nodded. He brought over another porter. This one was a man, in a burgundy speedo and blindfold. He introduced himself as Allistar.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Alyssa," Alyssa giggled. She had to admit that Allistar's attire looked good on him.

"Hut 10 was it?" Allistar asked. Alyssa nodded. She then corrected herself and said yes.

"Ah good. Follow me."

Alyssa hobbled after Allistar, struggling to keep up. She regretted not picking the wrist cuffs. She did have to admit that she was quite enjoying this however. The prospect of spending all week tied up made her a bit dizzy. She told herself that she was going to have to show restraint (pun intended) or end up paying an arm and a leg to get out of everything she put on her.

Allistar, who knew exactly where to go despite the blindfold, led Allysa to hut 10. It was a modest wood-panelled hut with a tv, couch, kitchenette, bathroom, coffee table and a view out onto the beach.

"Your clothing has already been deposited into your wardrobe," Allistar announced.

"Um Allistar," Allysa asked, as Allistar walked across the hut. "Where am I supposed to sleep?"

Allistar stopped by an upright black rectangle on a forty-five degree angle in the corner of the room. "Right here, madam."

"That's not a bed!"

"It is a vac-bed."

Alyssa had heard of vac-beds. She hadn't ever tried one, and had initially thought that they sounded a bit silly.

"I sleep in that?"

"Yes. you selected the premium huts, so do get a vac-bed instead of a sleepsack."

Alyssa laughed. She didn't know what else to say. "Well I hope it is comfortable."

"Shall you be taking your nap now Alyssa?"

"I might as well. How does it work?"

"You specify a time here, on this panel. Or if you are blindfolded you can get a staff member to help you. Once you set the time, you get in the bed. It has motion sensors to detect your presence. It then seals the latex around you. At this point, you need to make sure you are breathing out the air tube. Because then the air is sucked out of the bag and your only way to breathe will be through it. Once the air is sucked out, you will be unable to move, and will then be lowered onto the ground. After the specified time, the bag will re-inflate and allow you to exit."

"Sounds simple enough," Alyssa commented. She took off her aviators and sneakers, and placed them next to the couch.

"I would recommend undressing further, otherwise it can get very uncomfortable," Allistar told her.

"How do you know what I'm wearing?" Alyssa asked with surprise. "You're blindfolded!"

"I have very good hearing," Allister smiled. "I didn't hear your clothes getting removed.

"Perhaps I was already in a swimsuit."

"Perhaps you were."

Alyssa laughed. "I like you Allistar. Now, are you able to put my clothes in the wardrobe for me?" Alyss stripped off her blouse, and slipped her dress down and over her ankle cuffs. She realised that in order to get her swimsuit off, she would need to remove the ankle cuffs. Allistar was already picking up the discarded garments and taking them over to the wardrobe.

"How am I supposed to strip off my swimsuit in future? I need to take off my cuffs completely to do so."

"Most guests are partial to head restraints for this reason ma'am," Allistar replied, hanging up the clothes. "Gags are pretty common, and there are also blindfolds, earplugs, and hoods."

"Can you bring me a gag for when I exit my nap?" Alyssa asked. "It will be a lot easier than trying to walk around in these cuffs."

"Allistar nodded. "Do you need my assistance to get into bed?"

"I think I can manage." Alyssa went over to panel on the wall, dressed in her white cutout swimsuit that had an exposed midriff and back, and ankle cuffs.

The interface was very simple. She just had to input the time in hours she wanted to be in the bed. She decided on a small two hours.

Alyssa walked over to the vac-bed. She struggled to get the thing open. Allistar asked again if he could be of assistance. Not wanting to be dependent on anyone, Allysa eventually found the zip along the side of the frame. It was double-sided, allowing her to zip it up while she was inside.

She squeezed into the latex area, and fumbled about in the dark as she tried to get all her limbs in, along with every part of the ankle cuffs.

One last question came to Alyssa, which she called out. "I don't have to pay to get out of this, do I?"

Allistar laughed. "Oh, no. That would be a but cruel on our part."

Satisfied, Allistar fumbled around blindly for the zipper. She was still at an angle, and if she didn't have the core strength from diving, she doubt that she would have been able to do this all herself.

Eventually finding the zip, Alyssa zipped it all the way up, and then quickly moved her head around trying to find the mouthpiece. Not wanting to panic and suffocate, she methodically checked the area around her head as the air began to retract from the bed.

Finding the mouthpiece at the last second, Alyssa slotted her head over it and then felt her whole body go rigid. All the air had gone, and Alyssa was now stuck in the bed. She couldn't move or see. She didn't know if she could hear anything either. She had ended up in a slightly awkward pose, with both her hands up, and he legs crossed.
