An empty dirt lot in the middle of nowhere

Lit interstate lanes and traffic give way to dark empty roads and silent surroundings. You’re on an offshoot of the main highway, a smaller highway that leads out further into the country.

You have spent your whole life in the city, but now the darkness seems to swallow everything up. Only the hum of the engine of the truck can be heard, pulling you further into the night like beast of burden taking you into the jaws of the abyss.

Beside you, it appears Carrie, no, **** has fallen asleep and is dozing off in the passenger side. Oh he would have fun with her. You lean over and pull one of the earplugs out.

“****! Wake up!” You say in your sternest voice possible. “Wake up!”

Slowly, she awakens with a slight and almost takes the mask off before your hand stops her.

“We have arrived.”

The turn off the main road onto an unpacked dirt one that follows high voltage power lines. On a normal day, work crews would be out here with maintenance trucks. On the weekend however, not a single truck was parked in the lot and no one would be in until Monday.

You park the truck and jump out, walking around to the passenger side and opening the door. It’s January so **** starts shivering as soon the door opens.

“Daniel, it’s freezing can you-“

You slap her in the face as soon as she opens her mouth.

“You were not given permission to speak ****. Only speak when spoken too!” You pull her blindfolded out and shivering out into the cold.

Guiding her along, you reach the back of the truck and open the door, hoisting her up and inside. You shut the door and turn on your phone light to see for a second.

“Sit, Stay! And do not move” You instruct her and she complies.

It takes you a few minutes to setup the truck for your stay. Hauling the generator outside and starting it up, turning on the electric heater and lights, unpacking all the toys.

Satisfied with your work for the moment, you stand in front of ****, now sans the ear plugs, and address her for the first time since you arrived here.

“Stand up.” You command.

Slowly, she stands and you stalk around her, letting your boots intentionally scrape along the floor as you circle her. You take a riding crop from your box of toys and begin smacking it against your hand.

“You disappoint me ****. You fell asleep on the car ride over here. I am your Master but you referred to me as someone else. You have failed your first tests.” You intone gravely.

“Master please! I-“

“SILENCE! I will purge this failure from you, I will teach you obedience, and you will learn. Now, Strip!”
