PAULO Chapter 1

Here's the first chapter in a new story. Well, sort of new. I originally posted it on the Yahoo Groups some years ago, but now that they don't keep anything anymore, I thought I should start archiving my backlog of stories here. 

So here's Paulo's story and how he became a slave. For some reason I decided to make him a Spanish orphan, so there's a splattering of Spanish phrases dotted about - which I hope I've got right! Anyway, enjoy reading it. There are 13 Chapters. Chapter 1 is in the Books column right and a pdf is here.

And while you're following the adventures of Paulo, I shall be working on a (really) brand new story about Sam the quarry slave who...... well you'll have to wait and see what happens to him.

Well - it may have taken me eight months, but I have now completed the story of Andy and Paul in The Retreat. I say "completed", I am actually still working on the final chapter (Chapter 16) which is tricky as it rounds everything off, but I am ready to post chapters 11 to 15 in weekly installments - which should bring us nicely up to Christmas.

A RARE PHOTOGRAPH

While you wait for the next chapter of THE RETREAT, I thought you might be interested to see this historic photograph, which I discovered recently amongst some papers relating to the ealy years of the Aschaven SUC (Slave Utilisation Centre).

It appears to show one of the Wardens instructing a slave boy in his care. I have so far been unable to identify the Warden, but he seems to be taking a close, even sympathetic, interest in the slave - maybe preparing him for inspection by a potential buyer.

 

One can only wonder what the boy's ultimate fate was.

THE RETREAT Chapter One

I wouldn't blame any faithful but patient followers of my stories thinking that I'd given up, or fallen off the edge of the earth, as it seems the last time I posted anything here was Christmas 2017! 

Well, I haven't been totally idle. I've been working on a new story - all year! As I've mentioned before, I like to have the whole thing more or less completed before I start posting it. That way I can develop the characters more and iron out inconsistencies and revise details as I go along. And my preference most recently has been to post the whole thing as a completed ebook. It may seem a little over the top for something that is really only a sexual fantasy, but for me the whole enjoyment is to get it just right so that at least I can more or less believe in it.  

I've had quite a few distractions this year and I still have a couple of chapters to write - although the whole thing is mapped out in my head. I should be able to complete it in a month or so but, in the circumstances, I have decided  to go back to posting it chapter by chapter as a weekly (roughly) serial. Hopefully by the time I get to posting Chapter Eight I will have completed Nine and Ten.

You can read the full text of Chapter One of THE RETREAT in the Books section on the right.  Or if you prefer you can download a PDF version from HERE

The story brings to life a fantasy that came to me some years ago when I visited a strange, creepy old house in the depths of the English countryside. It was currently being used as a school, which was odd because, as well as having a general atmosphere of decay, the rooms were vast and decorated with baroque murals, and down some wooden steps there was an eerie cellar-like basement converted into changing rooms, showers and wash rooms! Need I say more?

Also, it's a loose connection, but the character of Andy is sort of mean to be the same Andy that Adam and Robbie met in the last story, but about three years older.

As usual, it all takes place in my alternate universe, a post war Europe (in this case England) where the Reichmarshalls rule and slavery is fundamental to the New Order.
