With the advancement of human civilization,laws became more lenient,parents became more tolerant and the world,more ignorant.This lead to a series of unforeseen and bizarre events which finally resulted in many young children and teen running wild,addicted to drugs and beverage.Fearing as to where this might lead the future generations,all the major countries came together to work out an effective solution to stop and prevent such chaos in the future-CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.
The age old corporal punishment was reintroduced.Many rehabilitation centers were formed where on the requisition of a parent a child or teen is punished by the center,severity varying with the offence.For the adults,the court issued a direct punishment depending on the misdemeanour.For small offences a quick caning or spanking was issued and once it is done the citizen was free to go.This reduced the requirement of number of prisons.This proved to be extremely effective and was widely accepted.Today,in the year 2150,this became a normal part of everyone's life.

"Tracy Wendover?" a female officer dressed in black coat read out of a paper.Her voice echoed through the room as there were only 3 people left.Tracy,a 17 year old girl slowly got up looking at her mother who was right beside her.
"It will be okey honey,go ahed" she said.
"Tracy wendover?" the officer asked.
"yes" she responded meekly.
"Please come with me" she said with a vivid smile.
Tracy stood there,unsure,still looking at her mom.
"C'mon honey,we talked about this,now get going" she said
"Oh its alright.I suppose this is the first time she is here,you may accompany her if you like.We don't really mind" the officer said cheerfully.
"That is very kind of you.Thankyou."
"Don't mention it.By the way i'm susan."
"Jane.Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too Mrs.jane and tracy" she said adding a wink to tracy.
Tracy was surprised on seeing the politeness.She never expected this from an officer at a punishment center whom she always pictured to be stern and evil.
As they walked past multiple doors they finally arrived at a small room with a couple of chairs and a computer desk.Susan sat before the computer and asked both jane and tracy to have their seats.She began typing something into the computer.
"This place doesn't look like what we imagined it to be" mrs.jane said who was equally surprised as tracy was.
"Oh yes,we really want to provide a pleasant environment to our visitors and assure them that we are not here to hurt them but correct them" Jane said with a very pleasent voice and a beutiful smile.
"Well i couldn't ask for any better,right tracy?" Mrs.jane said,looking at tracy
Tracy gave a faint smile and nodded.Her fear had gradually subsided since she has met this women.She looked at susan who was quietly humming while going about her work.Susan had mid blond hair tied in a half up half down ponytail.Her eyes were baby blue and she had an amazing charisma.Tracy immediatly liked her,but there was still fear inside her.
"Alright,its ready.Please sign here tracy,we will go in shortly" susan said handing over a printed paper and pen.
Tracy signed the paper and handed it back.She reflected back onto what got her here.As she kept going into the wrong circle of people she was unable to stop herself from doing drugs.Despite her moms warning she again snuck behind to get more.Mrs.jane finally decided that if this is not stopped here it could completely ruin her life.So she decided to take a rather severe step by consulting the rehabilitation center.Tracy tried pleading by saying she would never do it again but she wouldn't listen.
"I'm sorry Mrs.jane but you cannot come any further.The session will take an hour so i suggest you go into the guest room.It should probably be empty now." susan said.
"Sure.Go ahed honey,be a good girl" saying that she hugged tracy and started walking out of the room.
Susan closed the door behind her and came back to tracy.She put an arm around her shoulder and smiled.
"I will be there the whole time tracy,don't worry" she said.
They walked in together into a white room which had nothing but a small table with two chairs arranged close to it and another door at the corner.
"Stay here,i'll be back" susan said going at the door.
Tracy could feel her pulse raising.She started having second thoughts wishing she could just forward the time to when this would all be over.She started praying,hoping for the officer to be unavailable and this get cancelled or they wishing they would just let her go with a good lecture.She heard from her friends that sometimes there will be no punishment but just a warning.
The door suddenly opened with a click breaking tracy out of her thoughts.A tall brunette,probably a women in her 40's walked out of the door with susan following close behind holding a few papers.She sat on one of the chairs near the table and asked tracy to sit opposite to her.Tracy did as she was told and susan stood behind the woman.
"I'm caroline." the brunette started explaining the ill effects of drugs and examples of people whose lives have been destroyed due to this addiction.
"It is a good thing that you are not yet addicted.We can rip it off in the bud.Do you have anything to say?"Caroline asked looking at tracy.
Tracy was almost in tears but she decided to take this.Afterall if her mom,the person who loved her the most,thinks she deserves this,then hands down she does.
"No." tracy said stopping her tears mid-way and putting on a bold face.No she was not going to be a cry baby.
"Alright then,susan" she signalled susan about something and walked back into her room.
Susan took the chairs away and placed them in a corner.
"Alright tracy listen.Since this is involved with drugs you will be given a rather long paddling.The number of strokes will only be known to the officer,ms.caroline and she won't be telling you that.However on your side you will be given one break of 5 minutes which you can utilise at any time.Understand?" she said all the time feeling sorry for tracy.
"Yes"
"ok then,bend over the table"
Tracy complied letting herself onto the table,putting her hands forward and holding the edges.
"Are you good?shall i call Ms.caroline?" susan asked.
Tracy hesitated for a second fearing how bad it would hurt.
"Would it be painful?" she asked
"Yes honey...it's meant to be" susan replied,although she din't want to.
"ok then.."
Susan went into the room once again.As the door reopened tracy could ckearly hear two people walking towards her.
""ready?" ms.caroline asked as susan made her way to the front of the table gently holding tracys hands.
It felt like a hundred gallon adrenaline rush the moment she heard caroline say that.All she has to say is one word now and she would be getting the beating of her life.She hesitated for a few seconds trying to calm herself.Finally she gulped and decided to take the plunge.
"Yes" she said
A few seconds and the first stroke landed.
WHACK!
she whined a little.It wasn't as painful as she thought.
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
The strokes were given precisely with an interval of 2-3 seconds between them giving her body enough time to absorb the sting before the next stroke landed.
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
Nine strokes and she started feeling the real pain.She had never been spanked,which made it even harder.
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
The pain became almost unbearable.Tears started rolling out of her eyes.She wanted to rub her her back but the moment she tried susan gripped a little harder and told her not to move.She tried even harder to move but susan din't let go of her.The strokes kept coming.
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
"pl..please stop,i'l take the break stop...stop!" tracy shouted between her cries.
"Very well then,you have 5 minutes" saying that caroline went back to her room.
Susan let go of tracys hands and walked close to her.
"i'm sorry you have to go through this"
Tracy couldn't speak anything,she just kept crying out of pain alone.The whole 5 minutes susan kept reassuring tracy that evrything will be fine.
"so you are ready?I haven't got all day" caroline said walking in with the paddle again.
"just a minute ms.caroline" susan said wiping the tears off tracy's face and trying to get her to smile.
"can you come in for a while ms.susan?" caroline asked with a rather harsh voice,looking her directly in the eyes.
Susan signaled lucy to sit on a chair and followed caroline into her room.
"what the hell do you think you are doing?This isn't some kind of a baby school" caroline got furious.
"I'm sorry maa'm but she was.."
"She was what? crying?Thats what she's supposed to do.Realise and repent her mistake so she wouldn't do it again.Now she would grow attached to you and your love while thinking i'm some kind of a villan giving her unfair punishment!"
"Ms.caroline,she woul.."
"I'm a psychologyst susan i know what people think at times like these.Now the only way she feels the way she should feel is if you do the remaining job."
"wha..me?Ive never done this befor and i.."
"Enough!Our purpose is to help children walk the right path.Isn't that your oath when you took up this job?So,now you're going to break that?"
"no maa'm,i'm sorry.I will do it" susan said with a heavy heart.As much as she din't want to she knew she had to.Caroline was right,she was too soft towards the girl and that is something that might make this punishment useless.
As both of them entered the room tracy got up and came to the table.
"Lie down tracy" susan said.
Tracy slowly laid down in a similar position except she din't bother to hold the dest as she knew susan would be holding her hands tight.But she was stunned to see caroline stand infront of her.She looked back to see susan holding the paddle,her face wasn't bright anymore.It was serious and devoid of any expressions.
Caroline roughly grabbed tracys hands.
"Begin.Lets get this over with quicly." she said
Tracy din't know why susan was the one paddling her.She din't know how she felt about this.But she was partly greatful because susan wouldn't hit as hard,afterall she understood her well.While tracy was lost in her thoughts the first stroke landed.
WHACK!
She was shocked to see that it was just as hard,or was it the effect of previous hiding?
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
Susan kept hitting her back quite hard.Although this is the first time she was doing it she had seen enough to know precisely what is to be done.
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
WHACK!
Tracy was crying out loud,kicking her legs hard but caroline held her firmly in place.
"Stop moving or you will get more!" she shouted.
Tracy immediatly stopped moving.Susan din't show any mercy as she knew this was going to save tracys life.She had to make sure she learnt her lesson even if it meant tracy hated her for life.She started hitting even harder.
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
With every stroke tracy jerked and shouted.
"please..pl..please stop"
Susan stopped.
"i think she had enough ms.caroline" susan said looking at caroline.
Caroline looked at tracy who was pleadingly looking back at her with face completely wet with tears.
"not yet..go on" she said.
"noo please no.." tracy was now too weak to shout.
Susan took a deep breath and resumed the trashing this time much harder.
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
Tracy couldn't bear the pain.She cried harder,jerked harder and shouted harder but nothing came of it.By this time she was already too weak.She finally gave in and started taking the punishment with silent sobs.
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
WHAACCK!!
susan din't know why she was hitting so hard.She got really attached to tracy in the short time they were together but why this?
"thats enough,stop" caroline said.
She let go of tracys hands.Tracy lied there crying silently.
"That ends your punishment for now young lady but i'm telling you, should you ever be here for taking drugs again,i will personally see that it would be much worse that this.Keep that in mind" saying that caroline left the room leaving susan to take care of the rest.
That incident became something tracy could never forget her whole life.She became good friends with susan and decided she would work at that center along with her.Rest assured she never dared even talk about drugs.
