Creating Tabitha-part I
By puppet master
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: While puppet master is obviously a web name, I can
tell you that I'm a university educated social worker and counselor. I
work for a large therapy service that deals with families in crisis, as
well I see some social service clients as a part time job. I'm a
biological female, married and have two children. I enjoy cooking,
travelling, and charity work. This is my first fiction mania by-line,
and I hope you enjoy it.

Synopsis: This story came from a workshop I attended on counseling
ethics. The question was: how far can we push a client? It made me
realize the power professional staff has over their clients, and just
how far we could push a vulnerable person. While this story shows just
how far a driven doctor and staff can go, it should force the reader to
ask some questions about power, medical professionals, and compliance.
As well, it also explores the use and abuse of community people to
further such aims. While this story is written as a horror story, it
could come true. Who in this situation would question that strong,
driven professional? Would you?
The letter read," I'm gone. As you read this, I will be on a plane going
to the west coast, and to Phil. I think you will remember him, as he was
the fellow who re-wrote my old company's website last summer. We have
been in E-mail contact ever since, and I fell in love with him. I am now
going to be with my new love forever. I do not, and will not see you
again. I'm gone!" By that time I was crying heavily, and couldn't read
any more. I was lucky it was morning, and I had little to do that day.
My wife had left that morning to go to a volunteer job, but obviously
something sinister had happened. I checked her closet, and my worst
fears came true, some of her clothing was gone. I cried for a long time,
and then went back to the letter.
It continued with," I do not want to hurt you or the kids. So I only
want a divorce. I have my own money, and Phil is very successful, so I
only want my freedom. The only money I'm taken is the money to pay for
this flight, and that's on our credit card. A lawyer for me will contact
you soon. As for the kids, they remind me of you, and my old life. As
I'm planning a new family with Phil, I don't want any contact with them.
Please understand this: I feel you where a mistake and you where holding
me back. I now have the freedom to be happy, and do as I please, and
enjoy my new lover. I'm also not into playing maybe's or trial
separations. It's over! To close, good bye and good luck. You will need
it." I then started to cry harder, and to try to understand this. Why
had she left me? And I of course rhymed off several: our poor sex life,
our growing distance, and our personal and work lives. But this seemed
so sudden, and complete.
I phoned her old firm (she was a successful accountant) and was in for
more shocks: namely, she had resigned two weeks ago, taken a buy out
package, and given no clue to her future employment plans. Her personnel
manager added," I have strict instructions to give no information out
about her save for the fact she has left our employ. Good day." and she
then hung up. I was very depressed and down.
Soon my children started coming home. I had three kids: Jonathan, aged
12, Mary, aged 10, and Laura, age 4, who was at day care. Mary asked
me," Where is mommy? When is she coming home?", and I just ran and
locked myself in the bedroom and cried. How was I going to explain this?
How was I going to get over this? What would happen next to us? After a
long time, I emerged and said to them, "Mommy is gone. She may never
come back. I don't know what happened." And I then went into the
bathroom and cried. I finally over cooked dinner, and we ate. I didn't
answer any more questions. It was a very long night.
Over the next few days it seemed as if the whole family fell apart. I
just couldn't handle it. The school was calling, looking for
information. I didn't talk to them. I just couldn't relive this. But my
kids where suddenly getting in trouble. I didn't know what to do.
I finally got a very strange phone call. It was from a woman named Lin,
who apparently we had been referred to by the school board. She informed
me she and her employer, a Dr. Veinstone, where going to try and help
us. "If you don't agree, we unfortunately can make you agree. Now when
can you come in and meet with us? We only want to help you through this.
It sounds terrible! We can only see you on Friday, as that's the only
time we are in the area. Is that OK?" I finally agreed, and it was
booked for 2:30. After hanging up, I realized how dominant she sounded.
I simply figured it was due to her job.
I arrived for my appointment, only to find myself in front of a non-
descript industrial building. I asked the young lady at the desk about
the strange site for a doctor, and she replied, "Those two are only here
on Fridays' so they simply rent some space here. Their main office is in
nearby capital city, in the Ravencroft district. They drive out here one
day a week. Does that make sense?" I agreed, and thought, "Ravencroft-
that's quite the area. I had heard of it: it was home to very wealthy
people, successful artisans, and a very strong but largely unknown
community. And they seemed to like it that way. He must be very
successful I thought. Soon a muscular lady with long dark hair came out.
She asked if I was Henry, and after saying yes, she said," I'm Lin, and
the doctor is waiting for you. Follow me." I meekly followed her into a
small office.
Sitting behind the desk was a large muscular man with thick black hair
and light skin. I thought, "Now there's a man's man!" He gestured for me
to sit down, and we started to talk. He was blunt, saying" you have been
through a very harsh experience. We are here to help both you and your
kids. But I will not sugar coat anything. To get any good out of this,
there may be considerable extra pain. But as I'm sure you've hurt, no
pain no gain. As well, we have to place your children's best interests
first. I will not keep a broken family together for suffering's sake. Do
you understand that?" I nodded yes, and he continued," After you've
signed some forms, I will evaluate your children, and write a care plan
for them. We will then carry out those plans! As well, I'm going to help
straighten you out, as well. By the time I'm through, you won't
recognize yourself with how happy and settled you will be! But all that
bliss requires considerable pain. And I want my instructions obeyed
quickly, and with gusto. Do you understand all this? Good, now sign
these papers, and we'll be on our way. I will also access you next week.
Now sign." I was then handed a pen, and signed the papers. It seemed
like a good idea at the time.
The next week, my son came home, and told me about the nice man who
asked him a lot of questions that day. I asked him about the questions,
and he said there where a lot of them. He also said he didn't know what
was next. I said I didn't either, but a plan would come from those
questions.
That Friday, I went for my own appointment. The doctor started with, "I
met your son this week, and he seems to have a lot of potential, and at
the same time is very troubled. He needs to be put into an environment
that will solve both issues. We know of a family that has specialized
counseling skills, and owns a horse farm an hours drive from Dodge City,
one state over. As well, the university there has specialized childhood
acceptance programs that he needs. They have adopted two boys that
they've helped all ready, and want a third. They are a complete family,
and are well off. We want to send him there." I said," You want to send
my only son away? Is breaking up my family the only option? I don't
think I can say yes to that."
The doctor then fumed, and said," So keeping him here, with no real
support, is somehow better? You can hardly handle yourself right now; so
how are you going to help him? And what of in the future? He is simply
going to act out more and more. He will blame you for this, and do god
knows what! Is that better then giving him the best chance at help and a
good environment? Don't be selfish. If serves no purpose in this case.
If you resist, I will call in the courts, and then he will rot in a
foster home until placement. By then this opportunity may have vanished.
Don't be an idiot! Put your son first for once. See this as a best
chance for him. There's a chance he may come back as an adult. Now let's
avoid a big fuss, and do the right thing. Remember the talk we had last
week? The one about pain and gain? Well this is gain time. Don't make it
pain time!"
I was weeping by then. But the doctor simply said," you need to sign,
and then keep quiet. We'll deal with telling him, and setting everything
up. Understand? Good!" I signed the form as I cried. Another final
moment had come.
Two days later, Lin appeared at my front door. She said," The couple
picked up John today. Now I'm here to pick up a few clothes for him. We
decided a good bye would merely traumatize him more, so there is simply
going to be none. Now, where are his clothes?" I led her to his room,
and she packed a few things, "They will get him a whole new wardrobe,
but that will take time. So he needs a few things to wear. And by the
way, crying is worthless now-he is gone, and never coming back! But in
time you'll get it. No good bye!" And she left. I wept until my
daughters came home. When they asked about john I replied, "he's gone to
camp for a while he'll be back. He needs some time alone, and time to
get help." the lie seemed to work, as they accepted it. I wondered what
was next. While I knew this was right, it hurt. I also worried about my
other children.
The following Friday, the doctor brought up a plan for Laura, my
youngest daughter. "She's still very young, and moldable. We believe
that watching you cry and limp through life is not good. We have found a
family north of here that has everything, including lots of money, and
they want to adopt. They've already meet little Laura, and they want
her. This couple is happily married, loving, stable, and capable of
providing strong mommy daddy role models. You can't do any of that, so
she's going to get the best chance we can give her- a new home and
family. As they're worried about you stalking, you're not to be told
anymore about them. Now I don't want a repeat of last week. Simply
understand this is for the best, and sign the form. She's so young, she
won't even remember you. She'll get a new name, and you'll never see her
again. We'll get her tonight, and she'll be given a medical exam, and
sent to her new mommy and daddy tomorrow. Then you should start
forgetting her. That will be hard, but we will help you. Now sign!" And
I meekly obeyed. What was happening to me, I thought.
Of course, my other daughter came next. "We have an excellent
opportunity for her. It's a large family that runs an all-girls school
way up in the north east. They will adjust her, and then adopt her as
well. But she's a special case, so I give you these instructions. Listen
carefully, please. She has the strongest feeling for you. While your son
had none, and the youngest was too young, this one is different. She may
try to phone you, so you will change your number. She may try to mail
you, and you must destroy those letters. Otherwise, she may cling to
you. She may re-live these recent negative experiences. As we don't want
that, don't reply to her. She will soon forget you, and start loving her
new family. She will be sent out tomorrow, so prepare you. Then it will
be your turn to grow and heal. And I've got a plan for you. You're
really going to go places! "I signed the forms and avoided my daughter
that night. She was soon gone as well.
It was Lin who proved me with my next directions. "You will remove all
traces of your wife and children form your house. I will come over to
supervise you. We will sell anything that is valuable through some
classified ads and either give to charity or destroy the rest. This is
part of giving you a fresh start in life. That's not possible if you
hang on to things. And don't try to hide anything from me. You must
completely trust us from now on. And obey all our instructions.
Understand?" I simply agreed. As they where all gone, I didn't need any
of their stuff.
As we where selling things, my wife's lawyer appeared on the scene. It
was a simple and quick settlement. I didn't have to pay any money. I
later heard from a friend she married him the day after the divorce came
through. I soon received my monthly credit card-she had charged their
wedding reception to my credit card! I then immediately cancelled those
cards!
Soon Lin even ordered the rooms be re-painted in a soft while color. The
house looked unlived in. but with the doctor's encouragement, I tried to
understand this was for the best. But it was still very hard.
Then the doctor decided to advance my plan. While he had already asked
about my company, and I had told him all about my very successful
computer and business consulting firm, he had never taken it further
then that. But now that was going to change. He explained," You are
spending too much time with your company. However, with your current
mind state and the many issues you're dealing with, you're likely to
make a mistake. And we need a massive amount of available time to help
you. You may not realize it, but you are very sick. So in order to
insure your innocent staff doesn't get hurt, and that you can recover,
you are going to sell your complete business to the highest bidder. It
should raise several million dollars, and we've already arranged for an
investment banker to both cares for that money, and to insure it will
grow in size. Thus, if in the future, you want another business, the
money will be there. But that will be in the future. Do you have any
ideas about who would purchase your assets quickly, and pay a high price
for them? We need to do this quickly."
I then answered," Well, yes. I've had several enquires in the past few
months. Who will you assign the money to? What is he or she like? That
worries me..." At that the doctor shook his head and said," We have
picked a man named Donald who works for giant capital bank. He will
invest the money wisely and conservatively. Don't worry about anything.
I want you to succeed. And I would never put you into a bad situation.
Remember about trust? Now go, and sell that company within the week.
Keep everything low key, and liquidate it promptly. Donald is waiting
for the money, as he already has a plan for investing it. Now just do
it!"
I left and catalogued the large number of buyers in my head. After a few
discrete phone calls, I had a buyer. The doctor was right-the offer I
finally took was for 6.5 million dollars. After I got the money, I took
it to the doctor, and I then got to meet Donald. He was another large,
strong, and muscular man. He had grey around his temples, and spoke with
authority. After seeing his impressive money management credentials, I
was satisfied he would get the job done. He also agreed to monthly
statements and meetings. I then reluctantly handed over the check. It
seemed as if another thing had been taken. I asked the Lin about my
plan, and she answered," That's an ongoing thing. And in order to avoid
scaring you, we keep it to ourselves. Things will soon start to speed
up. And that's all you need to know. Now go and rest. You've had a busy
week!"
Lin called me a few days later, and told me she was coming over. After
she arrived, she said," We have a problem. We know you need more
sessions and support. Now here is what we are going to do. This house is
going for sale. You have no reason to stay here. And this house with all
its bad memories and thoughts is poison to you and your improvement. It
is large and solid, so it will fetch a high price. A young family that
needs this place will then have it."
She then continued with:" we already have found a lovely large home for
you to occupy. It is in Ravencroft, so you will be close to our office.
You can come for more support, and being close allows you to access us
in the evening. The new place needs some work, but I'm sure that the
cost difference between here and there will pay for those upgrades. As
well, any furniture that is here will be sold or thrown out. We will get
completely new furnishings when you move. An agent will be coming here
tomorrow afternoon, and start the process. Now clean this dump up, and
get ready to move. And remember, this is for the better. I know you'll
love Ravencroft, honey. I know you will."
I spent some time that evening cleaning, and sure enough the next day
the agent appeared. He said," You'll get a good price for this place.
Lots of families would love it!" After a while, it did sell, and I made
more money.
The new house was very luxurious. After some work to install new air
conditioning and internet service, and getting it furnished, it was
ready. And I had almost $100 000 dollars left over. As per instructions
I gave it to Donald to invest. My account was growing, and I was
settling into my new home. The area actually seemed nice!
I soon visited both the doctor and Lin at their main office. It was a
large granite building that looked spectacular in every detail. After
checking at the large reception desk, the doctor gave and took me up
stairs to his office. Inside we sat on a sofa, and started to talk.
After asking about my settlement, he explained," in order to keep you
going on the right track, and not get frustrated with females that don't
want you; we're going to arrange for you to have an orchiactomy." I
looked stunned, and asked, "What is that?" He grinned, and said," It's
called castration. We are simply going to remove your testicles, or
balls. We will also have the surgeon trim your scrotum, as it will
simply be hanging skin. And you will also be circumcised, to protect
your penis from having skin problems. It will save you from problems
around sex, dating, and relationships. As I know you will only fail at
those things, we will remove the parts that drive those areas. You will
then have extra energy for friendships, giving love to those close to
you, and you will become gentle and affectionate. And I know your penis
is small. Let me show you something." with that, he dropped his pants.
His penis was simply massive, and very thick. He spoke," This is what a
woman would want. This cock would satisfy her every time. It also gets
very hard easily. As it is now. Look.". I glanced down and saw a
gigantic erection! And the massive tip was mushroom shaped. I just
wanted to collapse.
He then said," So as you can see, a man needs to be massive to get
anywhere today. I'm actually preventing a lot of upset and hurt for you.
Do you understand that? Do you get it now? Or if you think I'm wrong
just show me. But I know and you know I'm right."
I then started to cry. I said," Yes, you're right. I am tiny! And I
couldn't get hard often. That's why my wife left-I couldn't satisfy her!
Oh god, help me!" The doctor then fixed his pants, and comforted me,
saying," This surgery will prevent that in the future. Now Lin will take
you, and assist you at the surgeons. Now this man has a private clinic,
so there will be no hospital. It only takes a day. And a few days to
heal up afterwards. Now you'll be booked in a minute, and we'll get
this part going."
It only took a few days for me to get to the table. Lin drove me to this
clinic, and soon I was on a table. I was given an epidermal, and soon
felt nothing from just above my naval to my feet. It was as if those
parts had vanished.
Although my vision was obscured by a cloth tied between my face and the
operating area, I could see a small metal bowl being held beside the
surgeon. I noted two movements of his hands to the bowl, and I figured
those where my testicles. The next movement was my scrotum being
trimmed. And finally I heard a click, and a small piece of skin was
dumped into the bowl. His hands then made sewing motions, and soon I was
wheeled into a recovery area. I was then given a sleeping pill, and was
soon asleep.
I was awoken a few hours later. I was re-bandaged, given two pill
bottles (one pain killer and one antibiotic) and told to use the
antibiotic three times a day until the bottle was empty. The other pill
was to be used on an "as needed" basis. His nurse visited me daily to
change the dressing, and soon I was healed. I found I felt different.
Lin explained to me that I no longer had much testosterone, and would
really notice a drop in sex drive and in increase in gentleness. "That
is what we want. Now things will really get going. You've had a lot of
change, and more change is coming. But remember this is all toward a
positive goal. We don't want to hurt you; we only want to help you."
A few visits later, I was greeted with a bright green pajama style
outfit on a mannequin. The trousers featured a green paisley pattern,
while the top was full cut and was a light green color. I asked," What
is this for?" The Doctor answered," It's for you to wear during our
therapy session. We are going to explore some of your feelings towards
powerlessness and vulnerability. Now go and change." as I took the
clothes, I asked about shoes and underwear. Lin said," Oh dear. I'll
have to get you some." soon I was dressed in the outfit, and we started
to talk.
I admitted to being a poor lover of my wife. When questioned, I was made
to take some responsibility for her leaving. "While we do feel your
pain, you also caused pain. We are working around the fact that I think
you're a wimp with no social skills. But we're going to form a circle of
support around that. It will be a gentle place where concerned folks can
help and support you. And what of your feeling towards men? They've
hurt you, and taken things from you. But as we'll see, some men will be
very gentle and accepting towards you. I think you need to visit Donald
dressed like that. I wonder what he would say. And by the way, you will
be going in public like that. To learn about other people's acceptance
of you." Lin spoke.
I responded," Oh god, not Donald! He has so much control over me
already! He'd hurt me!" And I started to cry.
Lin offered," I don't think so. In fact his wife is a woman who we've
lined up to run your circle. They are very interested in your welfare.
Now go change, and return next Tuesday. Your sessions will now be bi-
weekly. I'll have panties and sandals here for you then."
During my next session, I was fully dressed. Lin had indeed brought
plain while panties and leather sandals. Again I was subjected to many
intimate questions and thoughts. Again I cried. Lin then told me," You
are going to go with me and get a hair trim. You will no longer cut your
hair. It will be trimmed and shaped every few weeks. And while we are at
that salon, you are going to start removing that patchy, scrubby beard.
It does you no good, and it looks horrible. Now if you had facial hair
like the doctor, we'd let you keep it. But as it's patchy and ugly it's
coming off. You'll look better without it. As you can afford it, your
treatment will consist of bi-weekly sessions involving both laser and
electrolysis. This will provide for the quickest, fullest job. Now we
are going there tomorrow to start you. I'll pick you up at 11 in the
morning. See you then."
After a simple trim that really didn't remove much hair (and it has
getting long, as I hadn't had a hair cut in a while), only split ends
and enough to give my hair a shape, I started hair removal. It stung,
but the combination did seem to cover a decent area. After a few weeks I
noticed much less facial hair. Soon I had no real facial hair-it was all
gone!
The sessions continued. Everything in my life was under discussion with
the doctor and Lin. It was painful, but it seemed as if some small
progress was being made.
Then Lin came to my house for a visit. She had three large garbage bags
with her. She explained," You are clinging to some past elements from
your life. I have come to remove all your old clothing. You will wear
only clothing I give you. It will consist of more of those full cut
pajama outfits like you wear during sessions. I will also provide
underwear, sweaters, and sandals. You will only wear them until we say
you may acquire or wear other clothing. This is being done to insure you
explore those hidden facets of life that we've touched on before:
vulnerability, fearing men, and life adjustment. Now I'm cleaning out
your closet. Excuse me." She then headed to my room, and efficiently
filled those bags. She then placed a soft purple outfit on the bed, and
I was ordered to change into it. She then took all the bags and left.
But before she did, she said," All this good clothing is going to
charity. It will not go to waste. Good day and I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll provide more outfits then. Soon you'll have a full wardrobe!" I
meekly watched as she left. What was happening to me? What was I turning
into?
Soon I had the clothes I had been promised. Trying to hide was no use:
Lin regularly took me for walks. With my long hair and smooth face, few
people seemed to notice. The Doctor then prescribed me estrogen (to
bring out my emotions, as well as make me gentle) as well as an anti-
depressant (to buoy my mood). But over a little while, he built up my
estrogen dose. While I did indeed feel more emotional, I noticed my body
changing- loss of body hair, weight gain, and small breast buds. My hair
really started to grow out, as well. The doctor didn't seem to listen
when I complained, instead telling me," It is not permanent. And I think
it is working. Now honey, do me a favor and shut up. I'll do the
talking. Besides, your round full face is cute. And you're now starting
to fill out those clothes. So it seems to me to be a positive thing. So
simply accept this, stop whining, and shut up. Understand? Now just
stop worrying, and have faith."
I was wondering about earrings. I had noticed a prominent display at my
hairdressers. I decided to ask the doctor about getting earrings. I had
started to ask their advice often, about all kinds of things. After I
had asked, the doctor replied," How many studs? In what order? Explain
that to me." I replied," I think I want a single gold stud on either
side. It will look nice." The doctor then commented," No. you will get
those holes, plus one more per side. That one will also be a big stud.
There will be a small stud between those. After healing that one will be
replaced with a delicate small hoop. And one you're left side, you will
add a gemstone stud. I think a diamond will look nice. And you will
place another hoop between the large upper stud and the gemstone. Thus,
you will look very avent guard. I'm pleased with this development. It
shows you're taking an interest in your looks. Now go do it! I'll expect
it do be done by you next visit." I smiled and offered," Oh yes. My hair
appointment is for tomorrow, so you'll see fresh earrings the next day.
Thank you for allowing this. I was worried."
He then laughed, and said," You're very welcome. This process is about
you feeling good. It is going to take a long time, but you will be very
happy. Now go, but stop to see Lin she had news on your circle. Donald's
wife wants to get started, and meet you. Lin will oversee all that."
I was very scared of meeting her-I hadn't seen Donald in a long time,
and I knew I should. But how would he react to me? And what would his
wife be like? I pondered those questions that evening. But as I had a
week before that meeting, I could figure something out. But I was soon
hit with another change-a big one.
Suring my next session, Lin spoke: "We are now ready to remove another
part of your past, and therefore another road block to your continued
growth. This is your name. I have filed papers with social welfare, and
your new name, first name at least is Tabatha. It is soft gentle, and
smart. So it is everything we want you to be. A new last name can wait a
while. But it will be done! You are now Tabby; and will only respond to
tabby or Tabatha! Here are your new papers. They include temporary
driving permit, and a name change certificate. We've also briefed Donald
on this, and he is handling your SSN. Now sign this form, stating that
all this is agreeable to you. And remember, a full new name is coming!
So start thinking about it!" as I left with the papers, I said to
myself," my name is Tabatha now. I wonder what my last name will be."
Soon I was introduced to Janet, Donald's wife. She was talkative, and
explained," We only want to help you! I've invited several local woman,
whom I know well, to come aboard this project and support you! And
Donald is also ready. He wants to love you and support you! It is going
to be huge! It is going to be inspiring! We are going to surround you
with a circle of support, and a circle of friends! It will be beautiful!
Now here are my phone numbers, both home and cell, so you can find
support from me anytime you need it! I'm here for you all the time!"
She continued by stating," While Lin will attend a few circle meetings,
it will mostly be us and a facilitator. I am working with Lin to
indentify the right one. Then Lin will be responsible for your
professional help, and the circle will handle everything else. Now give
me a big hug so we can end this. As well, you need to indentify what's
so wrong with my Donald. He only wants to help you, and you know he can
and will. But we can discuss that later." We then broke the meeting up.
I put the paper in my handbag, and left. I was wondering what this
circle would bring. It excited and scared me at the same time.
That evening I treated myself to some shopping. I had really come to
enjoy the mall and shopping areas. While I was wondering, I noticed a
lingerie shop. I entered it, and purchased two pairs of tiny silk and
lace bikini panties. The salesgirl lovingly wrapped the panties, and
then placed them in a small paper bag. After I paid, she squeezed my
hands and smiled. I returned the gesture, and left. I rushed home to try
them on.
But it was both upsetting and disappointing. While the little panties
fit, I was disgusted by the huge thick bush that was sticking out from
the panties. The thick bush also forced the panties out. I was so upset
I cried. I then threw those panties in a drawer, put on work clothing,
and went to clean my bathroom. As I scrubbed the toilet, I noticed a
long, dark pubic hair. I asked myself, "Is that really from me?", and
checked. It was mine. I was overcome by emotion. I realized my big bush
had to go! I wanted to be cute all over! As I knew Janet was trying to
get involved, I figured I'd ask her: is she was serious, she'd help. If
she wouldn't I knew she was simply full of hot air, and I could tell Lin
about it.
I called her the next morning, and we arranged to meet that afternoon at
an expensive local coffee shop. After arriving, we made some small talk,
and finally Janet asked me, "So what's wrong? You told me something was
up-what is it?" I replied, "Well, it is very intimate. I'm not sure how
you'll respond. Maybe asking you wasn't such a good idea."
She then said," I'll respond in a good manner. Unless you want to have
sex, it's fine! Now you just tell me what's wrong, and I'll fix it. Now
I know you want to share, so let's share it." I finally said, "Maybe I
should just show you. Then you'll really understand the problem." I
gestured for her to follow me, and we went into the girl's bathroom. We
locked ourselves into a stall, and I pulled my pants down. I sobbed
out," I hate that hairy mess! Can you please, please, remove it or
something? I need help! You said I could trust you..."
She simply smiled and touched my thigh. She softly said," Its ok. Don't
worry about this. As Donald is at his club this evening, we can be
alone. And I can take control of this situation. Thank you for letting
me in on this. It will soon be better: this I promise." She then pulled
my pants up, and led me by the hand out of the restroom. After having a
nice lunch we drove to a drugstore. She was rally in control as she
picked out an electric trimmer, pink soft shaving cream, pink woman's
razors, cocoa butter, and a rich expensive skin cream. She held my hand
as she got the items, and then paid for everything. We then drove to
her house.
After arriving, she disappeared for several minutes, and then re-
appeared in a track suit. She then led me into a gigantic bathroom, and
told me to strip.
She then started talking, saying:" Now that is a big hair problem. It's
so very harsh. It is not gentle! It is not sweet! It is everything
you're not! Now you've asked me for help to deal with this, and its
here. Now turn around, and show me your bottom. I want to check on
that." after I finished showing myself, she got the shaving things out.
She then had me sit on the ledge of a large bathtub, and brandished the
electric trimmer. She then quickly but cautiously used it to remove most
of the hair. Soon only stubble was left. I blushed as she moved further
down. She shaved between my legs, then instructed, "Turn over, and pull
your bottom cheeks apart. I need room to trim you there. Do it now,
please?" I meekly did as I was instructed. Soon the trim was finished,
and only scratchy stubble was left.
She then ran a small amount of water in the tub, and told me to get in
and spread my legs. The tub was roomy enough so that I could do this.
She then used a sprayer to wet my genitals down, and then she applied a
thick handful of shaving cream. She then held up one of the pink razors,
and set about finishing the job. She worked quickly but gently, and soon
my mound was bare and very smooth. She then grasped my ankles, and
pushed me back against the back of the tub. My crotch was fully exposed
and open. I held my breath as she shaved that. She spoke, saying," Now
this is a trust building exercise. I know that now you'll trust me
fully. We can share anything now! And I do hope that those feelings will
quickly rub off on the circle. And then there's Donald. We'll have to
solve that problem soon too. But that's for the future. Now up on your
knees, and turn around. Then pull those cheeks apart. I need to shave
that little bunghole of yours". I wept from humiliation as she creamed
and shaved that very intimate area. I realized that I could no longer
hide anything from this dear woman. We had just bonded in a big way! As
I realized that I started to cry. I sobbed," Oh, my god! I can't believe
we've done this! Do you know that I think we've just really bonded? Do
you still respect me?"
She smiled and laughed, finally saying," Of course I respect you! Now
it's a different kind of respect, but I still do. And yes, I think we've
definitely bonded. Now I can really start helping and exploring with
you. I am going to really help you! Now you just let me finish you up-
then we can talk!" She then washed me down, and toweled me dry. She
gently patted my now baby smooth pubic area. She then rubbed both the
cocoa butter and the rich skin cream into the shaved areas. "This will
insure that you don't itch or burn. This is now such a delicate area,
and it will need special handling for the foreseeable future. You may
want to get laser or electrolysis to really clean that bush up. But
again that's a future decision. Now get dressed, and join me in the big
living room that we entered before we entered this bathroom. I'll see
you there, and we can talk about some things."
After dressing and finding a soft couch to sit on, and Janet coming
back, we did indeed start to talk. She asked me to," Tell me about your
fear of Donald. Or even better, tell me about your fear of men in
general. Donald is really interested in your circle and in supporting
you. While I know he's a powerful man who controls your money, he's also
a very sweet, loving man. So tell me: what are you afraid of? If I know,
I'll be able to find solutions. Because sweetie, you're going to be
involved with him weather you want him or not. As I need and love him,
so to will you need and love him. Now spit out the problem, so it can be
solved."
I buried my face in my hands, and said in a whisper," I'm afraid of his
sex, and the fact that he can force me to have sex. I worried that I may
interfere in your relationship with him. And I fear his power over me
increasing. While part of me wants that, and I hate admitting that, part
of me is worried about simply being incorporated into you two. I don't
know how to explain that last point and it may not be understandable. I
just don't know."
She laughed, and said," So that's it. Just as I figured. Now we can
start finding solutions to those parts that rate solutions. As for the
rest, remember: this is about helping you. If becoming closer to us does
that, it will be done. It will be a positive thing, and we'll talk more
about all that in the future. We'll talk more tomorrow. Now it's late,
and Donald will be home soon. So I'll take you home."
As soon as I was home, I tried on those small bikini panties. They now
looked and felt very good. I decided to pay several more pairs of them,
and wear them all the time. I wondered what tomorrow would bring. But as
I was tired I was soon sound asleep.
The phone awoke me the next morning. It was Janet, and she told me we
where going to lunch that very day. "Many of your circle members want to
meet you, and it now seems right. They are all girls, so you've got no
worries about men. I'll pick you up in an hour! Now go and get ready!"
Soon her car was in the driveway, and we headed out. Janet told me:"
There will be only 5 other girls at lunch with us. These are the ones I
really think you need to get to know. They really want to be involved
with you, and help improve your life. But at the reception, then will be
several others. These are woman who I know we'll need, but will take
time for you to get to know. But the way, as you're so scared of men,
I've invited a female lawyer from the local prosecutor's office, and two
female police officers. So there will be a lot of powerful woman
involved. Thus, you should be encouraged! And of course, Lin will be
there. The new planner has been hired, but has not yet been briefed. But
she will be soon! Honey, isn't this very exciting? ".
Soon we where all seated in the large Italian restaurant. After ordering
lunch, and after Janet added several things to my order, the waiter left
us. Janet then said, "Well, ladies, this is tabby. She is the party we
are surrounding with support. Today is an informal met and greet, and a
time to share. And to celebrate my trust building, life enhancing
victory yesterday. I now know tabby here very, very, well. And I have
her complete trust." I was puzzled as the ladies softly clapped. She
wasn't going to go there, was she?
I realized how far she was going when she started to pass photographs of
our activities yesterday around. I asked her," What are those photos?
How did you get them?" She laughed and said," They where taken
yesterday. I used a small digital camera, and you didn't even notice!
But you where in such a state yesterday, you wouldn't have noticed under
any circumstances. I'm sure the rest will agree." I simply blushed as
comments about the before shots started coming. I heard words like:
sloppy, thick, and gross at the before pictures, and nice things like:
sweet, feminine, and cute at the after shots. Marge, one of the ladies,
asked Janet, "Why didn't you leave a landing strip? Is she really
completely bald and smooth?" Janet confidently answered," Tabby here
didn't ask, and I didn't offer. Not that asking would have made any
difference. And she is completely smooth down there." After we finished
our meal, we headed for Janet's home for some "private talk and
planning." I wondered what that meant.
It turned out to be a nice get together. We talked, and some planning
was done. After Laura, a clothing designer, learned of my man problems,
she said, "I may have a solution. Let me think about it. But for now, I
will take some measurements." After allowing her to take several
measurements, I wondered about what she had in mind. I was told," you'll
see. Don't worry about it." after chatting with every one, I realized
that this may work out for the best. They wrote a list of objectives,
like finding me recreation, social involvement, and moving on some
personal issues. It all sounded good. After they had left, and as Lin
was driving me home, he talked. She said," This circle will definitely
help you. As for the doctor and me, we will continue. It will take a
long time, but things will really improve. That will start soon.
Two days later, Janet and Laura arrived at my home. They announced, "We
have a solution to your fear of Donald and other men. Here it is!" Laura
held up what appeared to be a pair of biking shorts. I was puzzled, and
asked for an explanation. I was then shown just what was special about
those shorts.
They where made of a strong material that," Will not tear or be cut
easily. There is also a thin layer of special padding around the bottom
and crotch. So if you are touched, you will not feel it. As well, those
top elastics are reinforced with Kevlar. Not enough to stop a bullet,
but enough to stop anyone from overpowering that elastic. They cannot be
pulled down. And the only opening is this side zipper. As you can see,
it has thick reinforcing loops at the top that are part of the elastic.
Now if you go and put these on, I'll demonstrate how they will work. If
this works, your problem is mostly solved." explained Laura. After
donning the shorts, and returning to them. Laura placed a small but
sturdy pad lock through a hole in the zipper pull, and then through the
elastic loops. I was locked in, and try as they might, the shorts
wouldn't come down. I was protected, and said I felt very safe. Laura
then continued to talk, saying," She can wear these under her trousers
or pants. No one will know she's wearing them, unless they are the key
holder. And they do work. So I will quickly produce several more pairs.
Now you can go and meet with Donald, and the few other men who want to
be a part of your circle."
After being unlocked, I hugged both of them. I cried with happiness and
joy. I whimpered," I know you two really care about me. This is so
special! Thank you! How can I ever thank you enough?!" Laura then said,"
It's thanks enough knowing you are taken care of. And I also like that
my friend Janet can now involve her partner Donald in this very special
process. It's very lovely. That is thanks enough. Just enjoy those
shorts. Use them as long as you want!"
Janet then said," If you are out with us, I will hold the key. I will
take you to the toilet. And I promise never to reveal the key to Donald.
At least until you want him to know about it. But he will know about
those pants. That way, he can build the relationship he's been longing
and hoping for with you! That will be special indeed! Now we are all
meeting for lunch tomorrow, near his office. That will start the process
off."
It didn't take long for that time to arrive. Soon we where sitting in a
very expensive coffee house downtown. Donald seemed miffed when I only
ordered plain coffee. After short conversation, Janet announced to us,
"I just have to run down the street to the book seller, and pick up some
books I've ordered. It won't take long, and you two can get to know each
other. Tabby, do you need the toilet before I go? No? Well then, I'll
see you soon." She then briskly walked out of the shop! I was alone with
Donald, and I was shaking!
He smiled, and said," Let's get you a nice proper lunch. I want you to
have a nice full tummy. I'll be back in a minute." He then went to the
counter, and returned soon after with a large tray. It had a big bowl of
cream soup, two sandwiches, a large chocolate square, and a carton of
milk and a bottle of juice. He said, "Now you eat up! I know you're
hungry!" I ate everything on the tray, and Donald then said," Very good!
Now let's get you a treat." He led me to the counter, and I got an
expensive iced coffee drink and a big chocolate cookie. As I ate those,
Donald said," We need to set some things straight. Starting with what
you will call me. In public places, or when I'm talking to you, you will
always call me sir. In a private place, or if I'm showing you love, and
I have a lot of that for you, you will call me daddy. Do you understand
that? Now what is my name to you here?" I softly answered," Sir. I call
you sir here." He smiled and said," you are correct. Now let's go out
and find Janet. As I know you're on a first name basis with her, you
need to ask her about using mommy for her. But I'm sure it's ok!" I
said," Yes, sir. I'll undertake that sir." And with that, we left.
We met Janet down the street. Donald pointed to a toy store, and we went
in. he selected a big soft stuffed bear, and gave it to me. He put his
massive arm around my shoulder, and said," Now what do you call me now?
Isn't this a loving time, Janet?" I clued in, and said," Thank you,
daddy! This is very special! Can I really have this bear? I want to take
him home with me!" Daddy then smiled, and said," Of course you can,
honey! Now I have to get back to work, but we'll be together again soon!
I promise!" We walked him back to his office, and headed for the car. I
was emotional I refused to go shopping with Janet, preferring to go
right home. I asked her," Can I call you mommy? If Donald is Sir or
daddy, what should I call you?" She replied," Janet is fine. As we grow
together, you can use mommy. You can use mommy now, but I think that
should wait until we've fully bonded. That will be soon, I promise!"
As she turned into my driveway, she told me:" Your first full circle
meeting is in two days! It will be all day, and meals will be provided.
It will be at the golf course, in the clubhouse. I will pick you up at
9:30 in the morning. I'll see you then." After unlocking me, and
watching me go into the house, she left. I felt very strange inside. I
wondered what I was feeling.
I asked the doctor the next day, and he replied," That is love you're
feeling. As a new family is built around you, you will start to feel
love. I encourage you to really be involved in this process. It will
make you feel special and wanted again. Not that I'm leaving you. You
need all the help you can get!" Lin echoed that, telling me:" I will not
attend most of your circle meetings, because I feel that's a private
thing. But I will advise them, and provide specialized training to them
as they need it. Our work will continue on a professional level, but
community stuff will increasingly fall on your circle. You need to
listen to them, and follow any plans they may have. Do you get that? I
thought so!"
The first circle meeting was very intense but strongly productive. Many
ideas where listed and discussed. I was to be taken to the zoo, the
museum, and the show. I was to get a strong family connection from the
group. Offers of money and time where placed on the table. But one thing
that I wondered about came from Carrie, the lawyer from the government
office. She told everyone that she was going to get me "Fully
registered". I wondered about that. She also explained I needed to be
provided with opportunities for patriotic, community, and to be trained
in understanding democracy and national pride. "That can be done in a
fun way. She can visit government with us. We can read books and
research heroes together. We can then build a strong patriotic person.
But it will not be dry. It will be as much fun as the zoo!" Carrie said.
During lunch, I asked Carrie about that fully registered thing meant.
She smiled and explained," It simply means getting your new identity
registered. You will then have all new permanent papers and documents.
You will only be Tabby. We need to find you a new last name. That is
something you can do. I will then set everything up with the courts, and
get you registered. Don't worry-I'll make it easy! Any other questions?"
I said no and left. So now I needed to find a last name. The only choice
seemed to be Janet and Donald. But would they say yes?
I talked with Janet the next day. I asked her," Do you like your last
name?" She replied," Well, yes, why do you ask?" I replied," After
Carrie telling me I need a new last name. I think, I think I want to
explore yours. If that's ok with you. And if you can help me explain it
to Donald. I'm not sure what I'm asking for." She then hugged me, and
said," If you can stand to spell Trojanowski every time you want to fill
out a form. And if you understand that Donald wants to formally adopt
you in this case. And if you can accept him giving you a full name. Can
you do all that?" I whispered," I think so. It will be different. But it
will be good. Oh dear, I love you!" At that, I started to cry. I was
going to get a new family!
Janet cautioned me, saying," While I know you love us, can you be our
child? Can you understand the magnitude of this? While I want this, and
it seems you want this, it will make you a full fledged junior member of
everything. While that's how all this is going, adoption means it's in
full view. But I promise never to hurt you. And if I punish you, it's
out of love. Can you accept that?" I grunted a yes, and cried harder.
Janet just held me close, and comforted me.
A while later, Donald came home. After talking in private with Janet, he
called me into the room. He told me:" Well, it's come to this already.
Come here, please." I approached him, and he pulled me over his lap. He
pulled my loose trousers down, and ripped my panties off. He then
yelled," Why are you not wearing your shorts? This is very sloppy,
honey!" He then started to spank me! Hard, powerful slaps rained down on
my bottom. He continued talking," So you want to be my child! I'm ok
with that, BUT, you need to learn your place! You will never refuse me
anything from now on! In my eyes, you're a punk teenager who needs my
love, my guidance, our mentorship, and some strict handling!! You are
now Tabatha Elizabeth Cruickshank Trojanowski! How does that sound?
Honey, I'm going to take good care of you. Once I remove any resistance
or rebellion from you! Do you get all this?"
I was crying by then. The spanking hurt, and didn't seem to be letting
up! I said," Yes, sir. I'll always obey you! I'll be very good! Thank
you for the name." He just kept on spanking me, hitting me all over my
bare bottom. He then pulled me higher on his lap, and started spanking
my lower bum and thighs. Soon everything hurt, and he said," I'll finish
soon, honey! This is a lesson about punishment. If you're bad or
stubborn, this is what you'll get. If you're good, kind, gentle, and
compliant, you get love. Now I'm finished, and you go now. But think
about your new place as my child. And tomorrow you can tell me what that
means. Now kiss me good night, and go. We'll continue this soon." I
kissed his cheek, and we hugged. He pulled my pants up, and I left.
Janet rubbed skin cream on my red, sore bottom. "Now you know who owns
you-me and my husband!" she commented. I was so full of emotion as I
went home. I slept on my tummy that night, as my bum hurt. By morning it
was better, and I prepared for a new day. As well as possibly a new
life!
After telling the last day's events to Lin, she was overjoyed! She
said," you now have someone solid and loving. And this will take your
circle to new heights. I'll work with them from now on, as well as you.
And soon everyone will be together! You've just been through a special
time, and we need to talk about it." After a long, in depth discussion
on these events, she told be to get moving, but to be good. And to
always listen to my new parents. I agreed.
Soon the court was booked, and Janet told me about it. She said," Now
don't worry! Carrie and your father have enlisted a very nice female
judge that they both know well. So everything should go very easily.
Soon, you'll be one of us! Now we'll pick you up at 9:30 tomorrow
morning, and go to the court. And hopefully, everything will work out.
Heck, I know everything will work out!" I didn't hear anything after
that. I was scared, frightened, happy, and excited all at once. I had
never had so many emotions at once.
Time flew fast, and soon we where meeting Carrie in front of the
courthouse. I was completely powerless. I was wearing a loose soft pink
top, flowing pink flowered trousers, and pink pumps. In my hair was a
pink scrunchie. And of course, I was under lock and key, as I was
wearing what Janet had taken to calling my protection pants. My whole
circle was there to watch this, and to provide support for us. We where
then whisked to the office of Judge Michelle, a tall, very pretty woman
with long dark hair. She sat behind a massive desk, and spoke, saying,"
I have no objection to this adoption. It seems to be in everyone's
benefit. So I will quickly sign it off. I also like this new name-it is
very feminine and sweet. It is approved! But a few things need to be
addressed. First of all, Mr. Trojanowski: You control a massive amount
of Tabatha's money. In order to insure that money keeps growing, I
require you to submit monthly reports to this court regarding your money
management. As well, I impose court consent to withdraw monies over
$2000 from those accounts. You must also keep receipts for that money,
to show you haven't wasted it."
She then continued with," Now for you, Tabby. I'm going to impose some
restrictions and rules on you. They all come from requests files by your
Doctor, the prosecutor, and your new parents. You may not leave this
state without special written permission from both this court and your
parents. You must have written parental permission, or accompaniment to
leave this city for longer then 24 hours. You must have court approval
to move, or change address. I do suggest you move in with your new
family."
She then said," As well, you are forbidden from entering into any kind
of sexual or intimate relationship. You may not, under any
circumstances, buy or possess and kind of adult or pornographic
materials or books. The only exemptions to this are materials provided
by Carrie, your parents, or your circle to insure you're educated around
community and personal values these materials must be approved by me.
You must insure that any internet you use is fully filtered and equipped
with a net filter program. You are encouraged to use E-mail, but a
properly filtered, parental reporting program must be used. If you go in
public around new men, you must always wear those chastity shorts that
have been designed for you, and they will be locked. You must, of
course, hide a key on your person. You and your parents will be fully
informed of any sex offenders in your area, and they will be given
restraining orders to avoid your home and person. You may not use or
possess any alcohol, tobacco, or drug that is not prescribed by a
doctor. You must inform your parents of any legitimate prescriptions you
may receive. You will avoid all but the most formal and brief social
interactions with people outside of your support circle. You must always
follow, heed, and keenly be involved with your circle and its members. I
would also recommend you try to have a circle member with you in the
world to be your guide and advocate. To help ensure this happens, I am
joining your circle. Now that is all, but in the future more
restrictions may be ordered as need arises. But this should be a happy
occasion, so happy birthday! Now I am also ordering a new birth
certificate be provided, and the adoption file sealed. Thus no one,
unless they know or you choose to tell, and I'd advice against that,
will know of your past or old identity. You have a new slate. And the
formal order is also restricted and sealed. No one will know you as
anything, or be able to find anyone but Tabatha Elizabeth. Now, the new
birth certificate will be prepared downstairs, and after that, we'll
review this every month. Any questions? Good. Order given and record
sealed!" she then banged her gavel on the desk, and she, daddy, and
Carrie signed some papers, which where then placed in a file. After
giving daddy and Janet some other forms, Carrie used heavy red tape to
seal the file. She instructed Janet, "Now take those forms down to
records. I will call them with instructions right now, so they will be
ready for you. It shouldn't take very long. Then you all can go, and
start enjoying being a family!"
We went down to the records office, and in a few minutes we where handed
a new birth certificate. I was now tabby, and Janet's' daughter. It felt
strange but wonderful!
As we where leaving, we met the rest of my circle. It was announced we
where all going out for Chinese buffet. They had booked a private room,
and we all sat, ate, and talked. Everyone shook daddy's hand, and hugged
me or patted my back and head. I was given gifts-big stuffed doll,
money, gift certificates, and an amusement park pass! Janet gave me a
delicate gold watch, and daddy a gold bracelet. Engraved on it was," To
my special daughter. I love you!" I hugged everyone, ate a huge meal,
and enjoyed the company. Carrie told me," Tomorrow and the next day we
are going to take you and get the rest of your new identification
papers. I will buy lunch, and we can get to know each other. How does
that sound?" I replied that it sounded good. She then told us as a
family, "I will set up a time to inform you about 5 sexual offenders and
predators that live in your area. We will serve them with strong
restraining orders, and protect you from them. But they will only be
told a vulnerable person lives at these places. So they will not know
you, sweetie. And if you see them, you phone me or Debra (The uniformed
cop from my circle) right away, so we can come and arrest them, and take
them away for a long time! Understand?" I replied yes, and went back for
dessert. I knew I was now protected. That felt good!
The next morning, I headed out with Carrie. We first got me a new SSN
card, followed by my state identification card. Then it was off to voter
registration, where I was placed on the voters' list, and given a photo
ID card to show I was now a fully registered voter. "Voting is very
important, and I will insure you always vote in every election. This is
a basic democratic right!" said Carrie. The election worker just smiled
and nodded her head in agreement. The next day I was taken to the
police station, and Debra photographed me for the vulnerable persons'
list. She then took me out to a small car, and said," I am now going to
give you a simple drivers test. You will then receive a new full
driver's license. Now get in."
After going around a couple of blocks, we returned to the station, and I
was given my new drivers license. "You'll get the final new one in the
mail in a few days. But in the meantime, use this temporary one."
explained Debra. I thanked her, and Carrie then took me to an Italian
lunch, and then home.
I discovered Janet and a strange man in the house. A large new computer
had been set up in one room, and I asked about it. Janet smiled and
explained," This is your new computer, honey. It is very fast and
modern. Now Fred here is just the installer. He's almost finished." He
said," Actually I am finished. It's ready to go, and all the software is
on it. I'll just explain how it works. It has a full internet package,
and cyber knight filter software. As you instructed, it is set to allow
no sexual or pornographic material, violent materials, web filter
breaking sites, which are mostly garbage anyway, or sites that feature
substance abuse or deviant lifestyles. It also restricts access to
certain search engines. It will report to Janet's computer a daily
record of internet use, sites visited, and attempts to open restricted
sites. The E-mail is from kids n youth internet service. It will
eliminate spam or smut E-mail. It features full E-mail including digital
attachments, but it allows Janet to monitor e-mail use. She can restrict
unknown e-mails, prevent certain offenders from E-mailing, and monitor
both incoming and outgoing E-mails. While Tabby here can add new
addresses to the book, only Janet can edit the book. It will also
generate and send her a daily record of E-mail activity, and she has the
option of viewing all e-mails in your system. If it sees a swear word,
it inserts a bleep over the word. Is it sees swear words in an unknown
E-mail, it doesn't deliver it. It also adds a note to outgoing E-mail
that the writer is a child, teen, or vulnerable person. So there you
have it. But as you asked, those "circle" E-mails are in the system. So
it's all ready to go."
I and Janet tested the new system. I had all kinds of freedom to access
the net and E-mail but it was all monitored. Janet instructed me," I
will only check on e-mails I don't know. K n' Y also features an
approved search engine, a blog page, and a friend seeker. While most
users of this package are young, I'm sure you'll find a few compatible
people here. All other social sites are blocked as well. So no face book
or other crap like that! So everything is ready to go. Now do enjoy it,
and don't think about my monitoring capabilities. I'll only check on
strange visitors or attempts to open banned sites. Remember that!" After
she left, I tested the new computer out. It was indeed fast, and I could
still visit many sites. I also posted a "friend" profile. I decided to
see who I'd get.
A while later, Debra visited us at Janet's home. She showed us pictures
of some very bad, dirty men who had committed sexual abuse of children
and the vulnerable. We where then given copies of those photographs,
descriptions of them, and what they did. I said, "They are sick people!
I don't want to be around them! What do I do if I meet any of them?"
Debra smiled, and patted my head. She gently said," You will phone
either me, or Carrie using this. It will help you feel safe in public."
She then handed me a wrapped box. Inside was a very modern cell phone!
"It is a good phone that you can use. It is provided by a police agency
called always safe. They provide cell phones to vulnerable children,
teens and adults. As well they pay for all your local phone use. So you
can use it as if it was any other phone. It already has Janet's cell
number and both of Donald's phone numbers on it. It also has my direct
line, and Carrie's cell phone number. As you get more circle phone
numbers' we'll add them. But a warning: the phone generates a list of
outgoing and incoming calls, time of calls, and messages. Janet will
receive it every week. As well the phone book is locked, so you need us
to add new numbers. And it has no internet or E-mail. But you can use it
to contact your closest supporters and friends. How is that for a gift?
Do you like it?" Debra explained. I hugged her, as this made me very
happy.
Daddy then said, "We have listed a new phone number for your home phone.
It is on a privacy list, and goes to our bill. But it does restrict long
distance. You have no need for that service, so you don't get it." I
replied, "Yes, sir.", and wrote out my new phone number. It would take
time to remember it.
Daddy then ushered me into his office, and instructed me to sit down. He
gave me what looked like a credit card, and explained," This is a money
card. It will allow you to spend $100.00 a day on needed things. It can
be used at interact machines. It can also be placed into a bank machine,
and it will give you a twenty dollar bill, after you give it a password.
There is nothing else to remember, save for one number. It allows for
two money withdrawals a day. I don't want you carrying money on you.
It's dangerous, and unneeded. And if you're with someone, they'll pay
for whatever you want. Underst
