A young slave, in the early years of
slavery, motivates and challenges guards to dominate, subdue and rape him.
Then, over the years, the animal loses its luster, resistance, and interest. It just becomes another familiar beast of burden for the heaviest work.
With a few decades of hard work, the beast
begins to suffer the wear and tear of heavy and continuous work. Its muscles
remain firm and strong, but its joints, knees, shoulders, and spine are ruined.
Even though they are "motivated" by more frequent and violent lashes
to avoid slowing the work, the animal starts losing rhythm and
productivity. The animal struggles to keep working because even though they are stupid beasts, they know that if they lose their usefulness, they will be
slaughtered like any useless cattle.
Animal 263 suffered and survived this
process of heavy wear. After years of hard work, his muscular body was
compromised by sharp and constant pain in his back, shoulders, and legs. The
beatings and the lashes already hurt less than his old, ruined body; they couldn't get him to work at the pace of the others.
His trainers then decided to punish him in
the dungeon, a damp, dark cellar that served as a jail for more rebellious
slaves.
The beast was immobilized in a very
uncomfortable way, precisely so that it functioned as punishment. Chained in
this way, the slave cannot sit, lay, or stand. The wooden log that holds its
wrists is heavy enough to hurt your shoulders and neck. The immobilization in that
position caused him constant pain so terrible that the worst of the beatings or
torture still seemed light and bearable.
Immobilized for weeks, he urinates and
defecates on his feet and legs. His thirst and hunger are only relieved by impatient relapses and careless jailers who shove food and piss in his mouth in
an inconsistent and humiliating way.
Fighting for his life, the animal offers
itself and begs to make blowjobs for each jailer who passes in front of him. He
knows that if he has no use, he will be slaughtered.
When his cries and groans disturb the
jailers, he is beaten and whipped. Even so, he would rather be beaten than
forgotten, his most significant and worst fear. He saw some other animals go so long
without water or food that they died of starvation.
As he feared, a few weeks later, he died right there, bound, filthy, and hungry.
