Terrence is up first

As the auctioneer stood up to his lectern and began the proceedings, backstage Terrence was woken up by one of the auction house staff with some smelling salts. As soon as he was awake he was taken into the wings of the stage so he was ready when the auctioneer called.

“So let’s get things started folks, up first we have a fine young specimen in excellent fitness and health. Let’s bring out our first item for bidding!” The auctioneer called.

A silence hung in the room as everyone waited in anticipation to see who would be brought out first. Terrence was given a not so subtle shove from the handler that brought him to the stage which pushed him just far enough that he was no longer hidden behind the wings and everyone could now see him. He turned back momentarily towards the handler who just gave him a gesture to keep walking into the middle of the stage and a look that said don’t even think about disobeying.

So that’s exactly what Terrence did, shakily and terrified he slowly made his way to the middle of the stage looking and feeling more nervous than he ever imagined possible. He had no idea what was going on but after standing there for a few seconds and then hearing the auctioneer start the bidding he started to get somewhat of an idea…

The bidding had begun and it seemed there was quite the bidding war over young Terrence, more and more bids kept coming in, the price going higher and higher for him with no sign of stopping - there was definitely money in this room.
