Short Order Slave

The bearded man flogs the wrapped man’s bare torso with sharp strokes, his muscles tensing under the slick plastic as the wax drips down his sides. Strapped to the wooden chair, the other’s legs are coated in hardened wax, pulled tight before being peeled away in slow, sticky strips. Blue cloth cushions the chair’s edge as the flogger works, each strike leaving red trails on the smooth, light-skinned flesh.
