The three men who sat around the coffe table did not look like
|
|
conspirators; they looked like nerds. One was a professor, two were
|
|
grad students. The professor was impatient. "Where is John? I hate it
|
|
when he's late," he complained. One of the grads tried to calm him.
|
|
"Relax, Bill, you know John. He's probably had another brainstorm and
|
|
is slaving over a hot simulation."
|
|
|
|
"We are done with simulations. It's time to act--or not act. That's
|
|
what tonight is about."
|
|
|
|
The professor was one of the most eminent virologists in the world. His
|
|
name was prominently mentioned whenever the Nobel prize was mentioned.
|
|
One of the grad students was a brilliant geneticist; the other a top-
|
|
notch computer scientist. And the missing man was probably the foremost
|
|
nanotechnologist in the world.
|
|
|
|
At last, the fourth, John, arrived. "Sorry I'm late. I had to wrap up
|
|
something...."
|
|
|
|
"As usual," Bill said sourly. "Allright. Let's get to business." He
|
|
looked around, fixing each man with an intense stare. He sought their
|
|
eyes, as if trying to read their thoughts. It was a dramatic moment,
|
|
intentionally so.
|
|
|
|
"Gentlemen, when we formed this...conspiracy...over five years ago, we
|
|
began working towards this day. Let me show you what we have achieved."
|
|
He walked to a side table and brought back a small tray. On the tray
|
|
were twelve small aerosol cans, similar to "travel size" antiperspirant
|
|
sprays.
|
|
|
|
"I completed the production run yesterday. The same revision level as
|
|
the one we tested on Julie and Gwen. You willall recall that the
|
|
results of the tests were highly successful and met all expectations.
|
|
|
|
"These are the results of our efforts. The question is: shall we
|
|
proceed forward and use them? It is an awesome step, a huge
|
|
responsibility. If we do, we shall alter human history--and human
|
|
nature--with no possibility of undoing our handiwork. We shall be
|
|
reviled as monsters, as enemies of humanity...worse than Hitler, Stalin,
|
|
Pol Pot. So I ask you: are you confident enough of the rightness of our
|
|
aim to carry it to completion? Or shall we destroy these without using
|
|
them?"
|
|
|
|
A long silence. Then one of the grads spoke up. "Sir, I'm in favor of
|
|
proceeding. You remember when John approached us, the discussions we
|
|
had? We've been all over this, many times, in the time we've been
|
|
working together."
|
|
|
|
John said, "I agree. We've pledged to carry out this effort. It's for
|
|
the good of Mankind, even though they will not realize it. Eventually
|
|
we shall be vindicated. I can live with the name-calling. I've made my
|
|
peace over the human impact. It has to be done. You know that."
|
|
|
|
The others agreed, each in his own way. Bill, the leader, handed three
|
|
cans to each man, taking two for himself. Then he handed out airline
|
|
tickets.
|
|
|
|
"Paul, you've got LAX, Dallas, then Rio. Jim, Chicago, Miami, Heathrow.
|
|
Sam, JFK, SFI, then Narita. I've got Seattle, Atlanta, Moscow. You all
|
|
know the drill?"
|
|
|
|
Assent.
|
|
|
|
"All right. We'll meet here in one week. Good luck."
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
Jim, one of the grad students, strolled along one of the concourses of
|
|
O'Hare International. In his hand, concealed under a folded newspaper,
|
|
was one of the cans. Every few moments, he released a small amount of
|
|
the aerosol. Particles swirled in the air currents, carried to every
|
|
part of the huge airport. Trillions of synthetic viral particles
|
|
drifted, inhaled by thousands. Many of those infected boarded jets,
|
|
carrying the virus to other destinations. Exhaling the virus with every
|
|
breath, infecting still others unknowingly.
|
|
|
|
When the can was empty, he ditched it in a trash barrel, then sat down
|
|
to wait for his next flight. He knew his brothers were duplicating his
|
|
actions in the major air hubs of the world. He smiled grimly.
|
|

|
|
|
"Mr. President, we have a very serious problem." This was how Dr.
|
|
Jensen, the President's Science Advisor, opened the meeting. "Two days
|
|
ago, the FBI and NIH received the videotape you are about to be shown.
|
|
We have every reason to believe it is genuine. We also have been
|
|
informed that the major world governments have also received this
|
|
video." He nodded, and an aide started the tape.
|
|
|
|
On a blue screen, white letters appeared. "SAVE THE MALES!" said the
|
|
banner. The banner held for a few seconds, dissolving to show a man at
|
|
a desk. His face was shadowed; his voice distorted but understandable.
|
|
|
|
"I represent the Brotherhood of Men. Three weeks ago, our agents
|
|
released aerosol sprays of a tailored virus in every major airport of
|
|
the world. By now the virus has spread throughout the world. Our
|
|
computer projections show that the infection is nearly complete. In a
|
|
few days, the first signs of the infection will become evident.
|
|
|
|
"We have no demands. The result we desire will be effected by the
|
|
inevitable social and political changes caused by this infection. We
|
|
are men who are sickened by the rise of feminism; we have brought this
|
|
un-natural abomination to an end.
|
|
|
|
"Our virus is the result of years of concentrated research. There is no
|
|
antidote, no cure, no vaccine. It is intensely contagious and once it
|
|
has invaded the cells of the body, it cannot be removed. The virus
|
|
causes irreversible and permanent changes in every female human being it
|
|
infects. Men are carriers; that is, they can infect others but are not
|
|
themselves affected.
|
|
|
|
"The effect of our virus is simple and easy to explain. Any female over
|
|
the age of five years who is infected will develop an intense biological
|
|
need for male semen. Any female who fails to receive fresh semen every
|
|
72 hours will sicken and eventually die. An intense craving, an
|
|
un-natural hunger, for male semen will commence once every three days.
|
|
Only fresh semen will ease the symptoms; frozen or refrigerated semen
|
|
must be used within eight hours of production or it will prove
|
|
ineffective. Although ingestion is the most effective, any contact with
|
|
semen will be sufficient to remove symptoms for 72 hours. Pregnant
|
|
women will not suffer the symptoms during the term of pregnancy.
|
|
|
|
"You will discover that, if a female receives her 'essence' from the
|
|
same man repeatedly, she will come to 'favor' or prefer his to any other
|
|
man's. She will still be able to accept sperm from any male in a pinch,
|
|
but given a choice she will always return to her 'primary male supply'.
|
|
If another male begins supplying her needs on a regular basis, she will
|
|
gradually change her preference to favor him. We recommend a gradual
|
|
replacement of one male's fluid for another, if a deliberate trade is
|
|
being made.
|
|
|
|
"Some of the changes that the virus will bring should be obvious.
|
|
Unattractive women and lesbians will be quickly eliminated from the
|
|
population. That should account for the majority of feminists. You
|
|
will have to make changes in the law and customs; we'll leave those up
|
|
to you. You'll really have no choice; therefore we need not enumerate
|
|
the changes you'll make.
|
|
|
|
"That is all. Do not try to find us; we cannot be found. You can thank
|
|
us later."
|
|
|
|
The tape ended.
|
|
|
|
"Mr. President, I met today with Dr. Weston, the head of the Centers for
|
|
Disease Control. She informed me that this tape is accurate. A
|
|
sample of the virus was supplied with the tape. The virus has been
|
|
isolated and is being analyzed. It has been found on every continent,
|
|
and in every city in the U.S. where we have had time to look. Our
|
|
estimates show that over 97% of the population has been infected."
|
|
|
|
The President was visibly shaken. "A cure...vaccine...?"
|
|
|
|
"No, sir. At present, we have not an inkling of any way to defeat this
|
|
infection. It is only part virus. Nanotechnology has been applied.
|
|
The technology is impressive; world-class. In some respects it is
|
|
beyond the state of the art as it is currently known. These are
|
|
half-virus, half-machine. We have no known way to respond to it. Due
|
|
to the artificial component, normal immune reactions have no effect on
|
|
the infection."
|
|
|
|
"Have...symptoms...been reported?"
|
|
|
|
"Yes, sir. Mostly on the West Coast. We speculate that the virus was
|
|
released there first. There have been riots in San Francisco. We've
|
|
had a news blackout since they began.
|
|
|
|
"Sir, here is a tape that was taken in the infirmary of Seton Hall
|
|
Women's Institute, a women's prison. This tape is classified 'Top
|
|
Secret, Eyes Only'. The prison physician recorded the effect of the
|
|
virus on women who could not obtain male sperm. Sir, I must warn you:
|
|
it is quite gruesome."
|
|
|
|
"Let me see it."
|
|
|
|
It was shown him.
|
|
|
|
"Good God...." The President's face was ashen. "I...feel a
|
|
bit...ill...give me a moment..."
|
|
|
|
"Sir, the question now is: how do we inform the public?"
|
|

Jim and Paul, the two grad students, met for lunch. "Have you seen
|
|
any of the...signs?" asked Paul. "Yeah; a couple. I figure one more
|
|
day, it'll be full onset, all over campus."
|
|
|
|
"Hmfff. I've got a few, uh, prospects picked out. I guess I'd better
|
|
get moving."
|
|
|
|
"Me, too." He grinned. "One real plus to all the late hours and pure
|
|
hell we've been through: we get first pick. For a change."
|
|
|
|
"Right." Paul picked up his pack. "See you later. I gotta see Jenny
|
|
Chin."
|
|
|
|
"The cheerleader? Wow. But leave Kathy Pitman alone. I got dibs!"
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
Jennifer Chin was in her dorm room, trying to study. She was a lovely
|
|
asian, with long black hair, shapely legs, and an exceptional chest for
|
|
such a petite girl. She was having trouble concentrating. She felt
|
|
hungry, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what she was hungry
|
|
_for_. The knock on her door startled her.
|
|
|
|
"Yes?"
|
|
|
|
A male voice answered. "Hello? I'm doing a project, and I need
|
|
subjects. Can you help me?"
|
|
|
|
Jennifer looked through the peep hole. Sized him up instantly: A
|
|
gangly, pimpled nerd. Harmless. She sighed and unlocked the door. She
|
|
needed a diversion; studying wasn't doing any good, anyway.
|
|
|
|
"All right. What kind of project?"
|
|
|
|
"It's on smell. I need you to smell a few samples, and answer some
|
|
questions."
|
|
|
|
"How long will this take?"
|
|
|
|
"Not long. Only a few samples."
|
|
|
|
"OK."
|
|
|
|
She let him in, and he spread several wide-mouthed vials on her desk,
|
|
handing her a questionnaire and a pencil. She read the instructions.
|
|
"Sniff each vial and circle the letter which corresponds best to your
|
|
impression of the odor."
|
|
|
|
Jennifer opened the first vial, sniffed hesitantly. She wrinkled her
|
|
nose. "Yuck. Smells like old socks." She didn't see Paul quietly shut
|
|
the door.
|
|
|
|
She opened the second vial, raised it to her nose. Paul watched
|
|
intently. Jennifer took a small sniff. Her eyes grew wide.
|
|
"It's...it's...oh my God..." Now she was clutching the vial. Almost as
|
|
if by its own volition, her small pink tongue emerged from her mouth.
|
|
She began lapping up the fluid in the vial, totally consumed by hunger
|
|
for it. She soon emptied the vial, but her tongue continued to probe
|
|
the vial, seeking the smallest remaining drop. Her eyes were glazed, her
|
|
expression vacant. The tongue kept up its quest for just one more
|
|
drop...
|
|
|
|
She was interrupted in this activity by Paul's hand on her shoulder.
|
|
"Uh, Jennifer...."
|
|
|
|
She looked up at him, with a confused stare. "Wha...what?..."
|
|
|
|
"Would you like some more?"
|
|
|
|
"More? Oh, yes!" She was _SO_ HUNGRY; she HAD to have MORE.
|
|
|
|
"I have more, as much as you need." He took her hand, led her to the
|
|
bed. "Here it is," he said, gently, as he unzipped his pants.
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
"How'd it go?
|
|
|
|
"Great. Jenny's mine; completely bound. I got two others: Terri Boyce
|
|
and Lisa Lawton. I missed Anna Hinley, though; I'll get her tomorrow,
|
|
with luck. How about you?"
|
|
|
|
"The same. Kathy went like a stone. Then I got an idea. I went to the
|
|
third-floor lounge in Kathy's dorm and opened a vial. Geez, they
|
|
swarmed in there like flies; I hadda fight 'em off. By the time the
|
|
frenzy was over, I had eight--or was it nine? Anyhow, three of 'em are
|
|
bound; the others will have to wait 'till I can, uh, recharge."
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
The man stood in a shadowed section of the sidewalk. Here they came, two
|
|
innocent little schoolgirls, in identical uniforms. White blouse, short
|
|
plaid skirt, white knee-socks. They looked about 12 or 13, he thought.
|
|
|
|
"Excuse me, girls..."
|
|
|
|
The blonde one said, "Huh? What do you want?"
|
|
|
|
"Um, I have something you might like..."
|
|
|
|
"Go away! We won't take anything from strangers! C'mon, Cindy, let's
|
|
go; you remember what your mother told you..."
|
|
|
|
"But, girls, I think you'll really LIKE this....Here it is." He opened
|
|
one of the two vials he'd brought. They were already walking away, but
|
|
the breeze was blowing in their direction. The red-head stopped
|
|
suddenly, almost as if she'd been on the end of a leash.
|
|
|
|
"Ooooh...what's THAT? It smells so _good_..." She turned and came back
|
|
toward him, eyes focused on the vial.
|
|
|
|
"Megan, come on! What are you _doing_?!?"
|
|
|
|
"It's, -slurp-, so good!..."
|
|
|
|
The blonde one returned, to try to persuade her friend. Then _she_ got a
|
|
whiff. "Oooh. Can _I_ try it?"
|
|
|
|
"Sure. I have one for you, too."
|
|
|
|
Now both of them were eagerly lapping at the vials, literally eating out
|
|
of his hand. Soon the vials were empty.
|
|
|
|
The girls were dazed, still licking their lips, as he withdrew the
|
|
vials. A bit unsteady on their feet, too, he noticed.
|
|
|
|
"I'm afraid that's all I've got here," he told them. "But I know where
|
|
you can get more..."
|
|
|
|
"More?!? Where?!"
|
|
|
|
"Well, if you'll just come with me, I'll take you there."
|
|
|
|
They followed him eagerly, all memory of their mothers' warnings
|
|
forgotten. Now all that mattered was getting more of that wonderful
|
|
liquid. He grinned. Worked every time. These were the fourth and fifth
|
|
in his growing little stable. Soon they'd be bound only to him; no more
|
|
schoolwork for THEM, he thought...
|
|
|

***
|
|
|
|
Joe Lohman parked his car and walked wearily to the door of his house.
|
|
Inside waited his wife and two young daughters. He steeled himself,
|
|
then went inside.
|
|
|
|
The TV was on; there was some sort of government announcement going. He
|
|
thought he heard something about "martial law". He collapsed into his
|
|
easy chair and picked up the paper.
|
|
|
|
Suddenly, his eight-year old daughter, Connie, was in his lap. He
|
|
peered over the paper at her. She was half-naked, wearing only panties.
|
|
|
|
"Connie, what are you doing running around like that?"
|
|
|
|
Connie licked her lips. "Daddy...I'm...Hungry...!"
|
|
|
|
"Well, Mom will have supper ready soon. Now get down."
|
|
|
|
"No...I'm Hungry...for YOU...!" her tone of voice was strange, almost
|
|
animal. Joe was shocked. "What on Earth?!?..."
|
|
|
|
Connie lunged forward and kissed him, hungrily. Her tongue thrust into
|
|
his mouth. "I...want...you...NOW!..." she growled. Her little hands
|
|
were busy at his belt. In moments, she'd freed his cock and had slid
|
|
downwards. Now she was licking it, moaning about her hunger and need.
|
|
|
|
Stunned, for a moment Joe did nothing. He sat watching the
|
|
eight-year-old work on his cock, which was firming under her efforts.
|
|
"Connie! Stop this instant," he began. But suddenly she was joined by
|
|
Amy, her ten-year-old sister. Now there were two girls bent on bringing
|
|
him erect. It felt GOOD. He gasped, "Girls, this is wrong....what will
|
|
you mother say?!..." At that moment they were joined by his normally-
|
|
aloof wife, who had crawled on her hands and knees and was now caressing
|
|
his balls as the little girls licked his shaft.
|
|
|
|
In moments, he spurted. The three licked the come up hungrily, almost
|
|
fighting over it. When he was clean, they sighed, and relaxed. "Mmmm,
|
|
Daddy, that was delicious," purred Amy. "Delicious," agreed Connie.
|
|
"I'm not...so HUNGRY...any more..."
|
|
|
|
Joe looked at the three of them. What the hell was going on?
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
"Hey, Paul!"
|
|
|
|
"Oh..hello."
|
|
|
|
"I haven't seen you in weeks. How've you been?"
|
|
|
|
"I've been...busy..."
|
|
|
|
"Yeah, me too. I've got a stable of bound girls to look after. A big
|
|
responsibility."
|
|
|
|
"I know. Mine's over twenty now. It's wearing me out. Need a few?"
|
|
|
|
"No, thanks. Mine are all I can handle. You know, it's great watching
|
|
ones like Suzy Morris trying to deal with the new situation. She
|
|
-hates- me, but now she needs me to live!"
|
|
|
|
"That castrating bitch. She deserves it, if ever any of them did. Me, I
|
|
like having Tracy Cole under MY thumb. Remember her? A real cock-
|
|
teaser. She played her games with me, time was. No more, pal, no
|
|
more."
|
|
|
|
"I hear you. Have you seen Professor Gilman? I never knew he had it in
|
|
him!..."
|
|
|
|
"Yeah; he bound three or four co-eds right away; then he did his
|
|
department chair. So far, they all look healthy, so he must have
|
|
_something_ left!"
|
|
|
|
"And what about John? Have you seen...!"
|
|
|
|
"Yup. I never woulda thought he'd go for kids. But he's got, what, ten
|
|
or twelve, none older than fourteen. He's keeping them happy, too. I
|
|
asked him about it; he just smiled and said, 'SOMEbody's gotta take
|
|
care of the children'!"
|
|
|
|
"Wow. And I hear their parents are grateful--some even brought their
|
|
daughters TO him!"
|
|
|
|
"Yeah; I heard the same."
|
|
|
|
"All in all, I'd say it's working out pretty well."
|
|
|
|
"Uh huh."
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
"C'mon, Suzy, don't cry..."
|
|
|
|
"I can't help it. What are we gonna _DO_?"
|
|
|
|
"Nothing. There's nothing we _can_ do. They've got us. We have to
|
|
have their...stuff...to live. We're just like junkies. So we just
|
|
gotta learn to, you know, adapt..."
|
|
|
|
"I don't want to. I'd rather die!"
|
|
|
|
"Did you see what happened to Karen Clausen? _She_ tried to do
|
|
without...it. God, it makes me sick just to think about it. Do you
|
|
wanna have _that_ happen to _you_?"
|
|
|
|
"NO. But I _might_ just jump from the bell tower...or something..."
|
|
|
|
"No you won't. It's not that bad. I'm actually starting
|
|
to...like...him a little. He's OK; not so awful. And we've gotta face
|
|
reality: he's our...Master...now. He knows it, and so do we. If we
|
|
keep him happy, we'll be OK..."
|
|
|
|
"You actually _like_ him? He's a monster!"
|
|
|
|
"No, he's not. Every girl has someone just like him, now, or else she's
|
|
dead. And I've heard that SOME of them are really monsters. He really
|
|
doesn't ask for much. I don't mind dressing like this--it shows my
|
|
figure, anyhow, (along with everything else!). And so what if he makes
|
|
us call him 'Master'? It's no big deal, Suzy, really..."
|
|
|
|
"Maybe to you. But it makes me sick to call him that..."
|
|
|
|
"If it helps us get, you know, what we need...what's so bad about it?"
|
|
|
|
"Oh, god, you're doing just what they _want_. Going along. Geez, Jen,
|
|
pretty soon, you'll be _happy_ with what they've done to us!"
|
|
|
|
"Maybe I will. It's better than being dead."
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
"You wished to see me, Master?"
|
|
|
|
"You may stand, girl."
|
|
|
|
"Thank you, Lord."
|
|
|
|
"You'll be needing a 'booster' soon, won't you?"
|
|
|
|
"Yes, Master. My last was almost 68 hours ago."
|
|
|
|
"This is my friend Joe. You know him, don't you?"
|
|
|
|
"Yes, Sir."
|
|
|
|
"Joe and I have arranged a little trade. For the next couple of weeks,
|
|
you'll be receiving your....fluid...from both of us. Today, for
|
|
example, it's 80% mine and 20% Joe's. Each time, we'll increase Joe's
|
|
portion and reduce mine. By the end of the second week, you'll be
|
|
getting 100% Joe." He grinned.
|
|
|
|
"But, Master, I love you! I don't want to, uh, take anybody else's..."
|
|
|
|
"It's already decided. I'm sorry, Wendy, but you'll belong to Joe, and

I will get his pretty little Leslie in return. I'm sure you'll like,
|
|
uh, working for him. He's a lot like me, gentle but firm...Here's your
|
|
first, um, dose..."
|
|
|
|
He exchanged grins with Joe. They'd already had a similar little scene
|
|
with Leslie...
|
|
|
|
She was on her knees, slurping it up before he had the cap properly off.

|
Two years had passed. The more thoughtful shook their heads in wonder
|
|
at the changes that had happened in those years.
|
|
|
|
The social disruptions had been massive. Civilization struggled to
|
|
regain equilibrium; human biology had changed, and human society had to
|
|
change to accomodate the new facts of life. It slowly dawned on the
|
|
leaders and thinkers that the Brotherhood virus had forever changed the
|
|
nature of females. No longer could 'female equality' be discussed with
|
|
a straight face. The virus made females naturally inequal, dependent on
|
|
males for their very lives. Sex ruled their bodies and minds; only
|
|
through sexual means could they continue to live. The virus made males
|
|
the Masters; women and girls the servants.
|
|
|
|
Many railed against the new reality; that did not change it. Slowly,
|
|
then with increasing speed, society changed to reflect the new nature of
|
|
things. Nothing could prevent these changes; they were entirely logical
|
|
and inevitable, given the action of the virus.
|
|
|
|
Laws against rape and incest had been repealed. Child "molestation" was
|
|
no longer a crime. Sexual harassment laws, while still nominally in
|
|
force, were a joke. Women still had the vote, but few bothered to
|
|
exercise the right. They had no time for politics; survival and the
|
|
acquisition of semen were their main--their only--concerns. Prostitution
|
|
was non-existent, at least the kind with female prostitutes. Women and
|
|
girls dressed in a way that would have been termed "outrageous" a year
|
|
ago; it was common to see young girls, as young as six or seven, wearing
|
|
tiny miniskirts and see-through tops. This was considered "normal" by
|
|
everyone.
|
|
|
|
Crime was at a record low. Men walked around with happy expressions on
|
|
their faces; adolescent boys were in Heaven. Now women were the ones
|
|
who had to beg for sex and MEN controlled the supply. For the first
|
|
time in human history, the supply of sex equalled the demand.
|
|
|
|
The media had had a field day, at first, reporting on the extravagant
|
|
impact of the virus. "MAN SERVICES UNDERAGE DAUGHTER; POLICE REFUSE TO
|
|
ARREST", screamed the headlines. "SCHOOLTEACHER HELD FOR CHILD ABUSE;
|
|
ALL CHARGES DROPPED!"; "WOMAN HELD IN SEX ASSAULT!"; "CHILD PORN KING
|
|
ACQUITTED; 'JUST TRYING TO SAVE LIVES', HE SAYS AFTER COURT TRIUMPH";
|
|
"NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN DISBANDED"
|
|
|
|
Shocking stories abounded. Of the young girl, whose father was out of
|
|
town, who walked into the local Police station begging for sperm. A
|
|
gruff Sergeant accomodated her. "I have daughters myself," he
|
|
explained. "I couldn't bear to see an innocent child suffer." Later he
|
|
was given a medal for meritorious service. Of the fourteen-year-old boy
|
|
who collected a harem of young girls, aged ten to fifteen, dominating
|
|
them totally. Of ageing wives, unable to arouse their husbands,
|
|
sickening and dying in the gruesome syndrome which had so shaken the
|
|
President. Of rage and revenge, as women realized they could no longer
|
|
coax from their husbands the fluid they needed to live, and struck out
|
|
against their indifferent spouses.
|
|
|
|
"FEDS BUST COVEN OF KHOONTZES!" shouted the papers. The covens were a
|
|
new phenomenon; groups of ugly, fat, or gay women who organized to
|
|
abduct boys and men. The victims were held captive and forced to
|
|
provide sperm for the coven. Frequently a pretty young girl was also
|
|
held, to provide "encouragement" for the males to "produce". The
|
|
authorities were ruthless in their treatment of such groups. Frequently
|
|
they were burned at the stake and the burnings televised as a warning to
|
|
others.
|
|
|
|
One aspect of the virus' action was a closely-held government secret. It
|
|
was discovered that the virus was slowly altering the ratio of live
|
|
births. Instead of the "normal" 50/50 split, the live-birth ratio was
|
|
slowly tilting towards females. Computer projections indicated that the
|
|
ratio would eventually stabilize at around 10:1, that is, one male for
|
|
every ten females.
|
|
|
|
The virus also gave females an amazing ability to seek out sperm. Their
|
|
sense of smell and taste was amplified to an incredible degree, and
|
|
seemed optimized for detection of semen. Experiments showed that girls
|
|
and women could detect and find small vials of fresh semen from great
|
|
distances. Adolescent boys used this effect to lure girls to them,
|
|
placing a small container of semen in a secluded location and waiting
|
|
for the female to come seeking it. What transpired then was obvious and
|
|
predictable.
|
|
|
|
Families no longer protected their daughters' virginity; what was the
|
|
point? And the dating scene was turned on its head, with sex the
|
|
primary object for both boy and girl.
|
|
|
|
The school system collapsed under the strain. Children were having sex
|
|
in the hallways, with other students and with teachers. Under these
|
|
conditions, male teachers could not resist the temptation posed by
|
|
hordes of eager and insistent young girls. Female teachers suffered
|
|
from 'unfair competition'. Over time, the schools were re-established,
|
|
in a strange new form.
|
|
|
|
Segregated schools were now the norm. Boys were trained in one set of
|
|
schools, girls in another. In the male-only schools, the curriculum
|
|
resembled that of the past, with academic subjects receiving the most
|
|
attention. In the girls' schools, quite a different course of study was
|
|
followed. It was reasoned that girls' survival depended on their
|
|
ability to attract and satisfy a male. Therefore they were taught how
|
|
to dress and act, and were given an advanced series of sex-education
|
|
courses designed to enable them to extract the life-giving juice they
|
|
needed so badly. If any feminists had still remained alive, they would
|
|
have been shocked at the frank and explicit training given to even young
|
|
girls. The girls were taught to be submissive and subservient; to obey
|
|
their 'primary male' as their master and owner. Females were slipping
|
|
back into the role of property, chattels to their male dominators. This
|
|
was unavoidable, given the new reality imposed by the virus.
|
|
|
|
In many foreign countries, the practise of female infanticide underwent
|
|
a resurgence. In the U.S., unattractive or ugly girls were frequently
|
|
driven into the streets by their fathers; a system of 'orphanages' was
|
|
established for these unfortunates. These institutions, called "Chelsea
|
|
Houses" after the extraordinarily ugly child of a past President,
|
|
provided the life-giving liquid to some of the girls unable to obtain it
|
|
for themselves. The sperm was provided by priests, and was extracted by
|
|
pretty nuns who had dedicated themselves to this service. There was an
|
|
intense controversy surrounding these houses. Some decried their
|
|
existence, arguing that there was no reason to maintain defective
|
|
females. Others, dismayed that they could not satisfy the demand for
|
|
such shelters, argued that they were unfair to those who could not find
|
|
a place within them. Yet others felt that it was cruel to maintain a
|
|
"non-viable" female until age 18, when she was inevitably ejected to
|
|
fend for herself, frequently with disastrous results.
|
|
|
|
The courts reeled and buckled under the onslaught. Whole volumes of law
|
|
were repealed or re-written. Women were no longer allowed to testify in
|
|
Court; they were classed with underage children as unreliable witnesses.
|
|
Too many women had been forced to perjure themselves by threats to
|
|
withhold semen. And likewise, female lawyers ceased to practise. In
|
|
one celebrated case, a male lawyer reduced his opponent to helplessness
|
|
by opening a vial of his own fresh semen in the courtroom. The sight of
|
|
this formerly-professional woman, dressed in a conservative suit,
|
|
kneeling before her adversary and slurping his come from a small plastic
|
|
cup, was enough for the judge and jury.
|
|
|
|
Now, when a baby girl was born, she was exposed to her father's sperm
|
|
when only days old. Although The Hunger did not begin until age 5 or 6,
|
|
the practise had grown up; parents believed that it helped to "bind" the
|
|
girl-child to her father. So a little ritual was performed, in which a
|
|
few drops of the father's seed were smeared on the baby's lips while she
|
|
was still in the creche. It was considered a good sign when a tiny girl
|
|
used her tongue to lick the sperm from her lips. "She'll be a
|
|
man-pleaser," the nurse would say of such a one. "Ready to suck it down
|
|
already."
|
|

|
|
|
|
Generations passed. The world, as remade by the Brotherhood, could
|
|
barely be recognized. Men ruled the roost, presiding over large
|
|
extended families of compliant and subservient females. A man could
|
|
maintain a household of dozens of females, so long as he and his sons
|
|
could keep them satisfied with semen.
|
|
|
|
There were no ugly girls or women now; selective breeding had ensured
|
|
that. Lesbian tendencies were likewise nearly gone; surprisingly, the
|
|
gays had been right, and their abnormality was hereditary. Now it was
|
|
nearly extinct, eliminated by genetics.
|
|
|
|
Girls were 'inititated' into sex when they began experiencing The
|
|
Hunger, at approximately five years of age. Young girls, as young as
|
|
six or seven, were incredibly skilled at the art of pleasuring a male.
|
|
Women who could no longer satisfy their owners were traded to other
|
|
males or painlessly euthanized. The planet was peaceful and happy;
|
|
women and girls had settled into their new, more natural role, and were
|
|
now completely at home with it.
|
|
|
|
The schools had evolved into 'training institutes' for girls, centers
|
|
where intense sexual training was conducted. Girls were returned to
|
|
their primary males ready for a life of service and pleasure; they never
|
|
forgot the extraordinarily rigorous course of 'study' they were made to
|
|
undergo at the institutes. Now, obedient and submissive, they accepted
|
|
their new lives, living only to satisfy their Masters, existing from one
|
|
ejaculation to the next, and thinking only of their next dose of sperm.
|
|
|
|
Females were property, owned by their males. Killing a female was not
|
|
illegal, but was considered to be 'unrefined behavior' by the other
|
|
Masters. A Master's word was law in his own domain; his women obeyed
|
|
helplessly, bound to their Master's life-giving seed. Within each
|
|
household, the dominant male established rules of dress, behavior, and
|
|
duties; the females submitted willingly to these rules, unable to even
|
|
conceive of another way of life.
