Karmal's Saga

Chapter 5

Karmal struggled to turn the rowing type handle that drove the auger into the face of the clay seam at the end of the mine she had been assigned to work in and as she did the sweat dripped off her naked body and formed puddles around her on the metal platform

below the handle of the auger,a product of the sweltering 106 degree heat and nearly 100 per cent humidity of the #48 mine she had been sentenced to work in.As she worked she felt the grit of salt forming on her body .She had discovered early on that no matter how much she sweated the heat and humidity simply did not allow her sweat to evaporate,rather it formed a thick layer on her body and what drying occurred,gave rise to the fine layer of salt on her body.The salt was particularly irritating as it was highly abrasive to her underarms and the inside of her thighs.

The # 48 mine had been nicknamed the”Hell Hole”mine by one of the mine overseers as it was the only mine out of the many mines on the hacienda that did not have a ventilation tunnel to allow cool,fresh air to flow as did the other mines.The overseer pointed this fact out to Karmal as he lead her through the entrance to the #48 mine for the first time and noticed her reaction to the moist heat after walking just a few feet into her assigned mine.The overseer had gone onto explain that #48 lacked a ventilation tunnel due to a number of factors that were discovered during the initial days of mining #48(1)the clay seams in this mine were extremely dense and unlike clay from the other mines tended to be the heaviest,densest clay which required an extra heavy auger bit.

(2) After drying this mine's clay yielded the least dried weight of any other clay despite being 20 per cent heavier when mined and transported”wet”(3) This particular mine due to its location on the edge of an ancient fault occasionally had limestone boulders hidden in the clay seam and these required having to dig the clay from around them and then the boulder had be fractured with a sledge hammer and the resulting fragments had to be,loaded and hauled out of the mine before the clay boring could resume. The overseer indicated that the last 2 boulders removed from the mine both yielded about 5 tons of rock prior to the mine being closed and the ventilation tunnel being cancelled.He pointed out to Karmal that she was, according to the owner, going to be the one to clear any such boulders discovered while boring the clay seam.

Karmal fumed more over the series of events that led her to being sentenced to work in the #48 mine and the harsh conditions the owner had imposed upon her as part of her sentence.She continued to turn the handle of the auger and as it bored deeper,the dense ,wet clay came poring out of the horizontal bore hole,in thick,ropy chunks,all of which Karmal will soon have to stop and then shovel into the mining cart and then she would have to push the mining cart along the small rails that were centered in the center of the steeply graded mine passage.Karmal was not sure if it was a blessing or a curse but the ball bearing equipped wheels and the tracks allowed her to get the mining cart ,which held 1200 lbs of wet clay, moving and as the overseer explained to her”if it will roll.it will move.The speed is up to you.”Getting the cart up the steep grade out of the mine required Karmal's pushing the cart and getting a running start at the level floored bottom of the mine with the cart's momentum allowing it it to travel up the first 100 feet or so up the 500 foot

10 per cent grade out of the mine.Karmal discovered on her first trip that the cart had to be steadily pushed forward the last 400 feet and that by digging her boots in between the cross ties allowed her to finally get the cart out of the mine.

Clearing the mine she then had to push the cart up a small grade up to the main track,

And then carefully setting the brake on the cart,she has to throw the rail switch in order to get the cart onto the main rail,then pushing the cart onto the main rail ,she again sets the brake and returns the switch to its main position.It only took her once that first morning for her to forget the brake on the cart and it rolled back at high speed to the bottom of the mine,dumping its contents after jumping the rails at the end of the rail.Karmal unassisted had to wrestle the cart back onto the rails and then reshoveled the clay and then fought the grade once again.

Karmal then has to push the cart 1000 yards down the main track and then arriving at the unloading hopper,she secures the mining cart wheels to the dump rails and tips the cart's contents into the hopper,then placing the cart on a small siding track she then mounts the platform that is to the left of the bottom of the hopper and she starts turning the handle that powers the cutter heads to separate the clay into smaller pieces to facilitate drying.

This effort is even more strenuous than than the auger,as the cutter heads themselves are several times heavier than the auger head,Karmal also discovered early on that the Mexican sun shined directly on this platform and removed any hope of cooler work.

Karmal then descends to the cart that is prepositioned below the hopper and pushes the cart to the drying yard.Karmal then has shovel the processed clay onto the large metal sheets that cover the floor of the drying yard ,the metal sheets reflecting the `suns rays back upwards,makes this part of the task the hottest part of the job as the temperature reaches 120 degrees most days.Once she finishes shoveling her latest load,she checks her earlier loads to see if they are dry enough to deliver and finds the first load and part of the second have dried completely and are ready to be delivered and weighed at the factory.

Karmal shovels this dried clay into the cart and then pushes the cart up a slight grade out of the drying yards and then has to switch the track again ,then she pushes the cart another 600 yards to the weigh station,Karmal is thankful in one way that the dried clay is much lighter than the wet clay she has to haul out of the mine,but she fumes at the fact that the delivered weight of the dried clay is the one that counts for her daily quota,this despite all her efforts with the heavy,wet clay.

As she approaches the weight station she sees that there is a line of female slaves all waiting with their carts for their weight ticket and she fumes again as each cart is being pushed by two slaves who are part of of a six slave team assigned to other mines.While these two are delivering,the other 4 are augering and loading other carts,while Karmal has to perform each and every task herself and meet a quota way out of reason for one person.Finally she pushes her cart up to the scales and the overseer hands her her weight ticket, which she must turn in at the end of the day.The overseer says as he hands over her ticket”680 lbs you are about 4 loads behind if you want to meet quota today.Looks like extra hours for you today” Then the cart is dumped and Karmal runs to retrieve her cart at the hopper and return to the mine as quickly as possible.

She continues to fume at the unfairness of it all as she runs to the hopper,thinking how harsh the sentence was her owner handed down after her'hearing.,”Hearing right,no one heard me during all that.'As she thinks back to his words reading out the sentence sending her to the punishment Unit and then sending her to the Clay Mines with special conditions . She feels a special hatred for the handler that got her into this situation.She knew she would wind up in the Clay Mines eventually as she was able to handle far more work in the log yard as she shed flab and this was replaced with lean muscle,the only drawback to all this was the log yard overseer observing this change had continued to raise her quotas for both cut logs and delivered cordwood.

While working in the log yard,she had often been told by others how much more demanding the Clay Mines were and the common thread repeated by many that this mining had to be the hardest work on Earth.

She had trouble comprehending how this could be true, as her toils in the log yard took every ounce of her physical and mental strength to meet the ever higher quotas

set by the overseer of the log yard, combined with a relentless schedule that had her

toiling away in the log yard 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. Failing to meet these quotas

resulted in her spending many an 18 hour day in the log yard with portable lights being brought in so that she could continue her labors up until 10 PM at night. The log cutting in her first days had proven to be the hardest work she had ever done up to that point. Then after several weeks of cutting, she was introduced to the even more demanding task of going back and taking the dried 3”foot sections she had cut and stacked earlier and splitting each 3' section into quarter sections. This splitting was accomplished with her using a 9 lb splitting maul and each 3' section required being placed into an upright position, then most sections required at least 3 strokes with the 9 lb maul.Karmal then had to stack the quarter sections on a flatbed cart which when filled to capacity held a ¼

of a cord of this split Oak which weighed out at an average1200 lbs.Karmal,then had to pull each

filled flatbed cart to the lumber racks just behind the kilns which was a trip of a ½ mile one way.Once Karmal arrived with her load ,she had to pull the cart onto a scale and each load was weighed and recorded with the net weight of the load adjusted with the weight of the cart deducted.The overseer was often around when she weighed in with a load and took every chance he could to humiliate her with remarks like”You are running way behind quota,you lazy bitch,I will keep you out here til I get 12 tons delivered!” The overseer required her to unload each piece by hand and stack it in one of the lumber racks. Then she had to trot back pulling the cart in order to start another load quickly as she could, as she calculated the fact that the 12 ton quota was going to require 20 round trips!

Her only relief all day from her toils was the brief few minutes she was allowed to take a 3 minute water break and sometime after midday she was allowed a 10 minute lunch break as well. These breaks she really looked forward to as the female assigned to

Deliver the water and food also served as the only person that would talk to her

and was Karmal's source of information and news. That situation changed after a few weeks when the her female friend was reassigned elsewhere, this after the overseer

found out that this female was talking way too much and was even carrying messages

between some of the females who were planning an escape.

After this fact was discovered some of the male handlers took over the duties of escorting the female's replacement as she pulled the water cart from location to location.Karmal became aware of this new arrangement one morning when she spotted the water cart

approaching in the distance and noticed it was being pulled by a very overweight woman with brown curly hair and walking beside the cart was one of the male handlers.As they grew closer Karmal noticed the female had a metal gag inserted into her mouth and was in fact blindfolded

as well ,with the male handler guiding her as she pulled the cart. The handler told Karmal that the other female that delivered the food and water was caught talking too much and had been involved as a messenger in an escape plan and that her replacement was fitted out so that she would not be able to see anything going on or speak.”Plus,her ears are plugged as well and the owner wanted to sweat a few pounds off of her and get her fit enough to work in the log yard here.”he paused and then said “Thats gonna take awhile though, as about the only exercise she has been getting is running from the refrigerator to the couch and back.she really blew it as she was a very well kept ,rich guy's plaything

who kept ignoring him about losng weight,then he caught her in a swinger's club after he returned early from a business trip.Hell he about paid the boss to take her off his hands.”

Karmal looks and sees that the brown haired womn is paying the full price for her misdeeds as she notices the rivulets of sweat running off her huge breasts and huge stomach,along with her labored breathing and the twitching of her thigh muscles as the handler hobbles one of her too large ankles with a chain secured around her ankle and the other end secured around an oak log.

Then Karmal notices the handler looking her own body over and fears what is coming

next as the handler asks “I suppose you're ready for some water?” Karmal replies she is indeed and the handler grins and says “New policy, you get water the old fashioned way, you have to earn it!” with that he unzips his pants and Karmal gasps at the size of his already stiff cock.He orders her to her knees and then orders her to start sucking him.Naked,sweaty and on her knees in the dirt she begins and as he gets to close to climax he warns her to swallow it all” You waste one drop of it and its no water all day for you!” Finally he explodes and she desperately swallows all as her mouth and throat

are flooded with the handler's cum.He then orders her to clean his dick up with her tongue and cheeks red with humiliation Karmal does as he orders. Then he lets her drink three bottles of water and as she drinks he tells her” You keep me happy and you will have all the water you want and extra food as well. I will have some more things I want you to do for me ,but that's enough for today.”

In the days following this first incidence of having to earn her daily food and water, the handler would demand different things from Karmal and helpless and with no other options she complies with whatever he wishes, no matter how humiliating and degrading

it made her feel. She was particularly humiliated when the handler brought some other men along and they all stared at her as he recounted her skills at such things as sucking his cock and gobbling down his cum.He also told them that her ass was nice and tight

and assfucking her was a real trip to Heaven.Karmal soon found herself, bent over a large oak log with a dick her mouth, while the other men took turns fucking her in the ass, to add to her humiliation the men waiting their turn all took turns playing with her breasts,

with several enjoying making her squeal with pain as they pinched her nipples as hard as they could and this soon turned into a contest to see who could make her squeal the loudest. Finally she protested that she had to get back to work and the handler told her

to get quiet or else he would handcuff her to the winch and leave her there for several hours and really put her behind on her quota. Finally with all the men satisfied in one of several ways they leave.Karmal realizes that whenever they come back she will have to do whatever they want and she still will have to make up for lost time in meeting her quota.

Several weeks went by and at least once a week the handler would bring his friends with him and Karmal would have to satisfy each of them in any way they designated. She dreaded these group visits as they all seemed to occur in the middle of the week, a day

that was traditional for the overseer to raise her quota to even more poundage. The overseer started taking notice that Karmal was missing her quota on the same day of the week and decided to investigate the matter himself. The following week he watched from a concealed position and then saw the handler approach Karmal's work area with several other men and two women, with the much restricted overweight brown haired female pulling the water cart. Watching with binoculars, the overseer observes Karmal in a variety of activities satisfying the men.He then watches transfixed as Karmal is seen entertaining the men with a lesbian daisy chain with the two women ,as the men watch.” So that is what she is doing rather than splitting wood” he thinks to himself.” Well if that is what she wants to do I will see to it she gets plenty to keep her busy.” The overseer then leaves and heads back towards the Tile factory with ideas already forming in his head.

Sure enough Karmal fails to make her quota for the day and the next morning she is awakened at 4 A.M. but instead of being taken to the log yard, she is taken downstairs

into the dungeon section where she was so severely tormented her first day there.

Her handler leads her into a room and seated around a table are the overseer, and her owner-the well educated Mexican and to his left the handler from the water cart.

Her owner orders her to stand quietly and reminds her she must not speak without first being given permission. Then he turns to the water cart handler and says” So she offered you sexual services in return for more water and food?” the handler replies” Yes she did

and she told me that she was not getting enough sex of any type and that if I wish to bring some other men or women, then by all means. So I started bringing some of the men and once two women from the next hacienda, the ones, that is that helped us out with the brush fires last year and helped save the Tile factory. The Mexican nods and says “Well I cannot fault you for rewarding our friends like this and I have never minded you handlers having access to women like this

as most of them are such whores anyhow.” He then turns to the overseer and says

“Is Wednesday the only day she has been missing quotas?” band the overseer replies

“Yes, lately just on Wednesdays. She of course missed many quotas her first few weeks out there, but there again I was following your orders and assigning her the work that 3 or 4 women in would do in a day. And of course we fed her as you instructed, keeping her just above a subsistence diet.” Her owner replies yes I see that, she has shed a few pounds over these past few months.” the overseer replies “Yes she has, I have really worked the flab off of her and what you see now is lots of lean muscle.” then snapping his fingers and indicating a point in front of the table, Karmal quickly complies and is standing across the table in front of her owner and stands up and feels her breasts and then has her turn around as he grasps her buttocks.”Ah yes, I see very firm in fact her breasts are not drooping anymore and her ass is like steel.” Then he asks so how much of this flab have you worked off of her so far?” consulting his notes the overseer says” The day she was brought in here ,she was at 155 lbs and now weighs 121 lbs.”. The owner thinks for a moment and then says “Very good indeed. However this offering sexual services business is disturbing and something I am not going to tolerate. She has no right using her body which I bought and own for her own personal gain.Alright we need to investgate further and then I will decide what penalties I will levy for these transgressions of hers.” He then calls for Karmal's handler and says take her back to her cell and await my call for her return. Also when she is brought back here, I require that she be collared, cuffed and shackled.”
