Hanging Around

“Hello girls! Congratulations on being selected for one of our more tame punishments. The fifty of you shall hang by your arms for a total of twenty-four hours without food or water starting now at 1:45 pm...ish. The ten pound weights will be magnified by the strip running beneath you to an uncomfortable forty pounds. The good new is at the end, you will all receive a Hooters meal voucher when you leave. Your families have been notified of your predicament. Good-bye and happy punishment, girls!”

She wasn’t the only one cry out, nor the loudest, as her arms stretched nearly out of their sockets.

On the top of each wall, a count down clocked moved across to the right before being replaced by another from the left and the lights cut out, leaving only the timer remaining showing how long until their slowly building pain would end.
