Public Entertainment































If there's nothing worth watching on the tele the local population can always entertain themselves by mocking the prisoner-slave in their town pillory. The authorities very much approve of such mockery, and at night time, when the town square is devoid of people, they even ensure that the suffering prisoner in the pillory is illuminated, so that he may be mocked by the populace from the privacy and comfort of their surrounding bedrooms!

And make no mistake about it - this prisoner-slave is suffering:

  • He is forced to stand on tippy-toe. Imagine the ache in his feet, ankles, shoulders and neck!
  • In addition to a heavy, iron slave-collar around his neck, he has a huge great stone chained around his neck - pulling his head down and making him humble!
  • He has no choice but to bear the mockery and pulled faces of the local girls who relish the opportunity to humiliate such a helpless, humble man!
  • They know too that he must be yearning to get closer to their socks. After all, the ignominious, wooden pillory has the very word 'socks' written on it - to demonstrate to everyone the slave's pathetic predilection for socks; the socks of his betters!
  • The gaoler's whip is not far from his back and can swiftly be uncoiled and put to good use should the prisoner-slave display anything other than contrition and shame in the face of his female mockers!
Yes, his only solace, during the long lonely hours of night time, is the memory of his tormentors' socks, seen from afar, but always looming large in his pathetic footslave-consciousness.
