Bryce Larkin, Human Sacrifice

In highschool, College held nothing but dread for me. It was this big scary thing on the horizon that I couldn’t quite fathom, and definitely couldn’t conquer. I had a whole host of terrors, about what upper education would hold for me, and not a single one of them involved getting sacrificed to satan.

And yet…

“The moon is at its peak sisters! Place the brand upon the pig’s flesh, profane the temple with his screams!”

Not how I wanted to spend my Saturday. “Stop, stop, stop, stop!” I screamed, and more importantly struggled, but my hands were tied to a stone slab. I also couldn’t see anything thanks to the blindfold over my eyes. So there was nothing I could do. I kicked, I screamed, but the only thing I could hear was the low chanting of the people who’d grabbed me.

This chanting. A low murmuring in what sounded like latin, but with ninety percent more hissing, came to a climax, and in quite clear english I heard, “Hail Satan!” Then a great pain erupted from my chest. I screamed.

Naturally. “Fuuuuck!”

Cooking flesh filled my nose like popping bacon. There was more talking after this, but I couldn’t quite make it out over the pounding in my ears. This night turned out to be a real bummer. Here I thought I was going out on a date with Veronica, and instead I get nabbed by a **** cult. Was it the worst date I’ve ever been on? Well, yes actually. They usually only end with emotional scarring!

“Congratulations pig, your body has been profaned in preparation for your sacrifice. We shall reconvene henceforth, on the next full moon, to desecrate this temple to the dark lord. Live life to the fullest until then, fatten yourself up for our dark lord.” I felt lips connect with my own, and as her tongue played with mine, I found myself forgetting what was going on. Me being grabbed and thrown into a van on my way to the cafe’, these freaks and their insane chants, even the branding which I was not done screaming about, seemed to vanish from my mind. I was blank, and even the with the pain in my chest the only thing I could focus on was the tongue in my mouth.

Eventually I found myself kissing back, tongues dancing in that forbidden little dance. Then I opened my eyes and Veronica was smiling at me, empty plates between the two of us. So I guess the date was going well. “Wow.” I said in disbelief, the kiss blew me away, I could hardly remember the date up until now.

“Good kisser?” My brunette date asked, licking her red lips. I could tell by the way they were smudged, that I had a fair bit of her lipstick on.

“Fair.” I wiped my lips off on the back of my hand. “Very fair.”

“Oh, he’s impossible to please.”

I smiled. “I dunno, I’m feeling pretty pleased right now.” I rubbed my tender chest. My fingers grazed against the skin, and caused lightning bolts of displeasure to shoot through me.

“Is something wrong?”

“Ouch.” What the heck? Why did my chest hurt? I opened up my shirt, and Veronica gasped. I looked down, and saw a circle curving around a star burned into my chest. The flesh, was raised, and red, and tender, like it’d only just happened. “What the hell?”

“Are you okay? That looks bad!” Veronica was on her feet, and already had her phone open.

“Don’t call an ambulance, are you crazy? I can’t afford that.” I touched the tender skin, big mistake, lots of pain.

“W-well you have to do something, look at that. Where did you get that?”

I looked down still in disbelief. “I don’t know… it wasn’t there, when I got dressed.”

“Oh my god, oh my god.” Veronica looked like she was going to gag. “This is freaky. We have to at least get you to the school clinic.”

I nodded. “Yeah, yeah I think I will.” I was finding it hard to pinpoint a time this evening where I could have gotten the brand. It, couldn’t have just popped out of nowhere, but I feel like I’d remember something like this. Getting branded seemed like a big event. “Let’s uh, get a rain check on that makeup session, huh?”

Veronica was wringing the sleeves of her sweater. “Yeah, for sure. You don’t want me to come with?”

I shook my head. “No, no. The sign of the devil appearing on my chest, is a real mood killer for me. As you would imagine. I’ll just head to the nurse, and probably jerk off instead.”

She nodded, worry never quite leaving her face. “Well…” she blushed. “I could send you something to help with that… if you want.”

Oh! So the date was going well, awesome. “I see no reason, why this painful turn of events should stop either of us, from sexting the other.”

“Good.” She gathered enough strength to put her hand on mine. “Let me know what the clinic says, okay? I’m going to spend the whole night researching what just happened.”

“And sending me nudes.”

“And sending you… I never specified nudes.”

I shrugged, and got to my feet. “That’s okay, naughty nurse is my favorite costume. But I’ll settle for anything with stockings, or maybe some knee highs.”

“Wooooow.” She rolled her eyes. “Alright, move along before you say something you regret.”

“Too late for that. I regret mouthing off to whatever witch just put this thing on my chest.” I gave her a nice and chaste side hug, and started walking off. “I’ll give you a text once they look at it. “

“Sounds good.” She waved after me. “Feel better.”

Not fucknig likely. The brand was bearable, in the sense that any pain is bearable. It was the spontaneous nature of it that was fucking me up. Stuff like that doesn’t just happen. I tried not to rub the tender flesh, and tried not to worry as well, but good luck with that, huh?

My phone chirped out a notification. I was hoping it was Veronica already sending me some titty pics, but when I looked at my phone there was a new app installed, and it was dancing for my attention in the corner. I opened it up, and rush of text greeted me.

_- WELCOME TO THE SUBMISSION ACCELERATOR! -_

This app will help you gain control back in your life!

- INSTRUCTIONS -

Every person in this world has a "submission counter". This number shows how submissive people are towards you. Normally this number stays fairly stable after a few days of getting to know each other, but by using this app, you can start changing the number very fast.

By clicking on this app you have already activated it, so the following passive elements are now in use:

1. You will gain submission points on people when they obey your orders.

2. No person can decrease the amount of submission you have on them anymore.

Every person is ranked from -100 to +100 in regards to their submission towards you. This is an easy shorthand on how to read their current personality:

-100 to -80 = This person will not take commands from you unless they literally have no other choice. They are more likely to get enjoyment out of bossing you around.

-80 to -60 = This person is very likely not to listen to your commands. The person assumes that he/she is in command of your relationship, and don't consider your opinions important.

-60 to -40 = You can sometimes get this person to listen to your commands. This person thinks it is unusual every time you don't obey him/her.

-40 to -20 = This person obeys your commands sometimes, but won't do it happily. Thinks it's more natural for him/her to be the leader.

-20 to 0 = This person doesn't prefer to take commands from you. The person considers themselves to be the more dominant in the relationship.

0 to 20 = This person is more likely to take commands from you. The person considers you to be the more dominant in the relationship.

20 to 40 = This person prefers to take commands from you. They think of you as the one more suitable to be the leader.

40 to 60 = This person enjoys taking commands from you. Has sometimes trouble deciding things for themselves, without your opinion.

60 to 80 = This person gets sexual pleasure from taking commands from you. The person is almost afraid to make their own decisions anymore.

80 to 100 = The person is completely bound to you, and is willing to do almost anything you order. Is basically too afraid to make their own decisions anymore that don't have anything to do with pleasing you.

- HOW TO GAIN SUBMISSION POINTS -

You gain submission points from people by giving them orders and commands. Every time they obey, their submission grows.

Note: This app will not help you gain dominance instantly. If you order someone to do something right now, they are as likely to obey as they were before you started using this program. However, as their submission grows after successful orders, it's of course then more easy to get them to obey and get more submission points.

However, the number of points gained is tied to to their current submission number and humiliation factor.

For example, if a person has -63 submission points, and you successfully command them to bring you a coffee, this will result in some points based on how humiliating this person finds this command to be. But if, for example, you give the same order to a person who has +70 submission already, and has already done more humiliating orders for you, this would probably gain you no more points.

The more humiliating you make your orders, the faster the submission points will grow.

Today’s certainly not going as planned.
