Chapter 17: Reclaiming Errant Youth
So that helped a lot, and I got back to enjoying all the exercise and being chained up and getting to sleep every night in a place that was NOT like a resort at all and trying to do everything right so I wouldn’t get punished. I marched past the pillory every day, and I did NOT want to go in there! Although I did think it was fun to see the other dudes gettin it—especially seein them squirmin around when the beam came down on them, like maybe they could squirm enough to get out of the thing! It was just funny, that’s all.
But finally I got it. It was for stealing one of those sporks that they give you to eat with. I didn’t need it; I just wanted to steal something, and I did. But I guess the real thing was that the boss thought I was gettin cocky, cuz everything I did seemed to be right. So he was watchin me and as soon as I got back to the barracks that day he grabbed me by the ear and made me take the spork out of my undies and he told me I was gettin the pillory tomorrow. Only what he did, he put me into it right before chow that morning, and he let me out right afterwards, “so you woan miss you day on thee chain, boy.” But actually I think it was because he liked me. Like I think I said, they all sorta liked me. That’s why they were all yellin at me and cursin at me when he put me in, and sayin stuff like, “That teach you not to fuck you momma” and “Hey boss, he still gotta spork in his pants!” and “Never mind—that too small to be a spork!” Because I had this raging hardon. So they had fun. Yeah, I guess I had fun too, mon.
