Public Holiday

Today regular customer-mistress Ms Mukta madam has come to remind me it is a public holiday and to enquire as to what I intend to do with my day off, before she ‘remembers’ that public footslaves don’t get days off, and must work all the time; 24/7, 365 days a year!

She laughs and tells me that she is intending to spend the day playing badminton, and so I might as well give her badminton sneakers a ‘quick lick and a shine’. I thank her kindly for the opportunity to taste her badminton shoes and begin to lick the first, proffered (nominally white) canvas sneaker.

As I simultaneously study the weave in Ms Mukta madam’s white badminton sock, I ponder what it must be like to have a day off; to have ‘leisure time’, and to be able to do whatever one wants and go wherever one pleases. It’s a bizarre concept – for a slave. And as Ms Mukta turns her merry back on me and heads off to meet up with her badminton friends, I find myself looking at the backs of her dirty sneakers and actually wishing she would stay longer, so that I could work harder and longer on them with my tongue, and do a better job of cleaning them. Since that’s all I’m good for – cleaning shoes.

But Ms Mukta madam has much better things to do with her free time than to hang around in dingy alleyways having her shoes lickshined by a loser-slave like me. She has a badminton tournament to win!
