written her master’s thesis about the historical inclination of mankind to set up governments which controlled every move and thought. She had postulated then that perhaps this error was governed by man’s innate need to be dominated, accompanied by the fact that there were also humans who desperately wanted to dominate others. Her history teachers had accepted the paper and commented that it was an interesting theory, but that some of her conclusions were hard to support. Her professors had said that although there was little supporting evidence, the phenomenon certainly existed. Yet, few groups had ever admitted that they either sought domination or accepted it, historical facts to the contrary. In other words, most people would not admit to being essentially submissive, no matter what the facts showed.
    What usually happened, Patty knew, was that those who exercised control to the extreme were eventually recognized as dangerous to society and revolutions and wars had been fought to free the oppressed people under them. “Freedom from chains,” the historical catchphrase for revolutionaries, had a deeper meaning than most people would ever understand, she thought. As a history buff, Patty had years ago realized, however, that the real solution to this societal problem was that early recognition of the evolutionary trends of dominance was difficult to carry out since most people were inclined to ignore such issues until they became entrenched. Consider the office environment, she had thought. Everyone pretty much knew that Frank and Ellen, F&E Enterprises, were more than casually involved in S&M. But no one really cared as long as it didn’t affect them personally. Now, here, in the cellar, Patty knew it had gotten personal and it was apparently too late for her to do anything about it.
    Certainly, she had argued, in modern history, people who were intelligent and aware nevertheless avoided confrontations with dominant and controlling governments, rationalizing that it wasn’t so bad and that everything would come out fine in the end. Dozens of societies, such as the Germans and Japanese of the 1930’s and the African peoples of the twentieth century had all learned the hard way that allowing too much control to a very few dominant characters was always going to result in crippled societies and draconian measures of suppression. She had written that the first signs of repression were usually masked from all but a few astute members of the society because the draconian measures were instituted slowly and often presented to the population as in the interests of public safety and national security.
    Patty fantasized now, hanging from her chains, that she was an incarcerated political prisoner in a dungeon. This idea thrilled her and she ruminated further and knew that she wasn’t going to change any more than society would stop electing or appointing tyrants. To carry on her fantasy, she was probably going to continue to bitch and complain about the treatment that Ellen and Frank were subjecting her too, but she would also continue to seek more and more of it.

Chapter Two
    The Acquisition of Katy
    Relaxing in the hot bath, Ellen revisited for the tenth time the operating plans that she and Frank had put together for Patty. She found no weakness in the plan and thus far it had all worked perfectly. She was hopeful that Patty would soon adapt, but she wasn’t worried about how long that might take. After all, Ellen thought, some people take longer than others.
    Take Katy, for example. It took her about 10 seconds to adapt.
    Katy was a young accountant who had come to E&F enterprises a few months back when she had been looking for work. The couple hired her in a flash, taking at once to the beautiful, recently graduated accounting student, giving her plenty of work and paying her well. At some point they had considered inviting her to the estate and, after considerable planning, they had picked her up at work one Friday
