THE APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL STORY (M+/M) *NEW POLL JAN 19*

[Starcomet]

@Starcomet You'd be surprised how the rest of the guys can be swayed to look the other way when the circumstances demand it. Bob, Nick, Shawn and Ryan are all neutral aligned, meaning that they tend to swing in favour of whatever gets the job done. Nick especially is an active enforcer of "the ends justify the means" motto. Brad, in this case, would prove quite useful in this situation. Ryan too, though to a somewhat slightly lesser degree. I'll leave their shady antics up to your imagination for now

How devious and practical!

[bondagefreak]

This is one of those polls I feel compelled to participate in. I had to think about it for a while, but if I found myself being captured by these guys, the one I'd most try to earn the trust of would have to be Corey. IMHO he's the weakest link with the best potential payoff. And by that I mean I think he could be easily swayed, and being a middle-management guy, he still carries enough weight around for it to actually be worth the effort.

The way I see it, Zack and Mitch (both of whom are good-aligned) would unfortunately be too busy to spend much time with captives. Bob has probably dealt with too many crooks in his career to trust easily, and earning Nick's trust/favour would be a monumental feat. If I continue down the chain of command, there's Shawn, who - let's be real here - would be harder to charm/turn in one's favour than a fuckin' stone.

That leaves me with Shawn's lieutenants; Ryan and Corey.

The payoff of going further down the ranks would simply not be worth it in my opinion, as the influence they wield doesn't carry much weight. Eg: Earning Big Mike's trust would undoubtedly be quite easy, but would he come to my defence if the group's seniors decided to dispose of me or whatever? Doubtful.

That leaves me with Ryan and Corey. I'm immediately excluding Ryan, for the reasons elborated in my earlier response to @OrdinaryWorld. He wields a lot of influence, yes. But the chances of being drawn into his sick mind games or being used as a pawn in his ploys would entail too much of a risk.

The choice I'm left with is Corey.
1. I feel he would be easier to sway and gain the trust & favour of than Ryan.
2. His influence in the group is every bit as significant as Ryan's, without the potential drawbacks.

Corey is Shawn's righthand man. He's inseparable from Ryan, has good relations with everyone and has direct access to the seniors.
So yeah, I'm betting my money on Corey in this scenario.

[noarmgr]

I chose Big Mike... I could have chosen another but Mike is the one with the character that attracts me the most. even though I hesitated with Mitch, Shawn, Andrew and Corey... I think I will make sure to suck up Mike... im sure he can protect me. with his big palms!

[gag1195]

I think I'd also try to suck up to Corey. He seems more laid back and go with the flow, and among the easier ones to win over/manipulate. And even if I can't get released fully, being stuck with such a handsome jailor is not the worst fate ever...

[Subboi]

I hesitated between Big Mike and Shawn and went for Shawn. I feel like he’s the boss of all the middle managers and the one who has the most power.

*AUTHOR'S NOTE*

BE SURE TO VOTE ON THE POLL IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO!

THE BIRTHDAY SURPRISE
THE APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL STORY

I sat there, mindlessly staring at the board game even as a gnawing feeling of nervousness festered within me. During the brief moment that preceded Ryan's departure from the living room, I'd tried several times to remove myself from the seated behemoth's generous lap. But Nick - wanting to benefit from my strategic council for a little while longer - had ordered me to sit still and had preventatively wrapped one of his stupidly massive arms around my comparatively narrow waist. In other words, I didn't have the authoritative strongman's permission to depart.

And so, prodded on by Officer Bob, Ryan promptly departed from the living room in order to check up on Joshua, who, dare I remind you, was still zipped up inside a number of thick sleeping bags and strapped down to a stretcher, undoubtedly with a disabling gag securely lodged inside his mouth.

I was still sitting on my hunky husband's lap when Ryan emerged back into the living area, this time with the absolute cockiest of smirks splayed across his irrefutably handsome face. I watched as he marched his tantalisingly statuesque frame back into the festive living room and then breathed out a quick sigh of relief as he passed our table and sat himself down into his own previously occupied chair.

My heart skipped a beat, however, when the smug stallion unexpectedly turned his head towards me, locked his piercing gaze into mine and gave me a quick "I know your little secret" wink.





Suffice it to say, I was just mortified. Up until this point, pretty much everyone - Ryan included - thought I was a little angel. Just a cute innocent guy devoid of any stains or blemishes. I rather liked that. It had served me well over the course of the last year; awarding me special and oftentimes privileged treatment. I was the prim and proper sub. Or at least, so they were all led to believe.

Unfortunately for me, Ryan knew exactly what I'd done.
I swear, I just wanted to crawl into a dark hole somewhere and die.



Nick played his hand and then another one after that before finally allowing me to slip away so that I could presumably use the toilet. I scampered out of the living room, past the kitchen and into the quiet end of the cottage, but instead of making for the washroom, I immediately darted towards the main bedroom.

I fully expected Josh's breathing tube to be free of my husband's fuming police boot, so you can probably imagine my utter surprise when I found the helpless birthday boy in an arguably even direr state than that which I'd left him in.


There he was, groaning and coughing as violently as ever; his glarinly fat sleeping bagged form straining and convulsing against the numerous safety straps that kept him pinned down to the stretcher. Muffled screams of the most heart-wrenching kind peppered the discordant swooshing of nylon as the struggling beta-jock desperately tried and failed to escape his maddeningly bloated cocoon.

The captured birthday boy's breathing tube - his only link to the outside world and his sole means of getting any air in - rose up out of the bulbous prison. The freakishly oversized police boot which had previously been hosting the undefended end of his breathing tube was no longer on the floor, however. It instead stood on the bed, tall and proud, right next to the gurney-bound prisoner's hopelessly mummified form.

Of even greater surprise to me was the fact that Ryan had not only seen fit to leave Josh to his fate but had apparently also deemed it necessary to lace my husband's boot up, causing its once monstrously gaping maw to tightly hug the prisoner's breathing tube.


Poor Josh could do nothing but lay there; his nimble limbs and athletic body rendered utterly useless by the immensely thick layers of loft and the numerous safety straps keeping him bedridden and gurney bound. His mouth, which would have normally been spewing colourful insults and virulent protests had been preventatively clogged; keeping his complaints down to a minimum. The skintight embrace of a rubbery gas mask clung to his panicked and undoubtedly cross-eyed face; leaving him vulnerable to attack and entirely dependent on the flow of air entering his nasal passageways.

He just lay there; his maddeningly unreachable breathing tube plunged deep into the feverishly putrid police boot of a man whose foot odour was so indescribably revolting and so outrageously severe that it stank entire rooms up and caused grown men to scurry away and flee.

Poor Josh, however, couldn't scurry away or flee.
Poor Josh could only sniff. And sniff Nick's boot he did!

*HFF. KKKFFFF.*
"Ugghmph!"
KFFF. HHFF*
"Ugghmmph!"
*KKKFFFF. KFFF. HHFF. KFF*
"UUUGGMMMPH!"





I admittedly felt a little bad for my friend, but not enough to actually do anything about it.

Considering the fact that I'd spent two hours with my face inside one of Zack's infamously putrescent trainers and that my buddy Ethan was currently bound up, gagged with a giant pair of boxers and taking huge whiff out of his own father's feverishly reeking toes, it seemed fitting that Josh be forced to endure such a harrowing demise. Besides, revenge is a bitch, and this certainly felt like payback for him quite literally forcing me to eat out and sniff Kyle's hole three years ago. Of course I still remember that! Did you really think I would forget?!

So yeah, with Josh taken care of and left at the mercy of Nick's atomically puke-inducing boot, the only one missing from the equation was Jeremy. And my oh my was he going to get it good the next time an opportunity presented itself! Ethan and I would personally see to that.

Satisfied with the current state of affairs, I once again left the blond beta jock to his harrowing fate and happily marched back to the living room. It was time for me to once again assist my husband in his quest for world domination.



The next half-hour or so proved quite enjoyable, to say the least. I sipped on my Coke, ate some tasty sweets and watched the clash of armies unfold on the large game board. Though Nick's Axis troops did suffer a few setbacks, my strategic council proved highly valuable, to the point where my monstrously built but boyishly gleeful husband and I were soon high-fiving each other and even our capricious ally Brad ended up appearing mildly satisfied - a minor miracle in itself!

As you can probably imagine, I was quite proud of myself for my own cleverness and cunning. I was allowed to just sit there, comfortably installed on my very dominant husband's generous lap. His stupendously broad arms acted like impenetrable barriers on either side of me; ensuring my continued safety and allowing me to plot the demise of his rivals with relative impunity.

Much to my own continued amusement, it wasn't long before Mitch, Zack, Bob and even Shawn began silently casting menacing glances my way and openly musing about the end of my tyranny.

"Guys, we really need to do something about those two." Bob calmly voiced out, speaking about my de facto alliance with Nick and huffing in disgruntlement at the sorry state of his troops.

"Hmmm...would be an awful shame if your cute advisor were to suddenly slip away and...oh, I don't know...disappear for a while." Zack humorously added, winking ominously my way but addressing his comment directly to my brawny husband.

Nick chuckled at the amusing remark and I remember feeling a little tingly at the subconscious tightening of his downright colossal arms. I was going nowhere of course. Not for a while, at least. Or so I thought.

[sock slave boy]

not a real sequel, but a nice announcement of the next event, I can't wait.

However, I am still surprised that everyone sees Steven as a nice, adorable and innocent little boy, while he is the demon in person.

[Volobond]

I mean... congrats to Steven for keeping up the innocent game for a whole year - though something tells me he's just wishfully thinking nobody knows how he thinks - he's not that subtle!

[Stormee]

Nice to see this in the works again. Poor Josh, left to the stretch of the police boots and trapped in layers of thick down bags. Well, happy birthday for him. He'll be there for a long night. And oh Steven, you made some enemies now for the game. Be a shame if you happen to join Ethan on the floor. Great work again, @bondagefreak

[OrdinaryWorld]

Haha, fun thing of Ryan to do: not just cast a knowing and playful glance at Steven, but ALSO tighten up the boot laces around the breathing tube!

Definitely an enjoyable chapter to read.

[OrdinaryWorld]

I must also say that our author's arguments were very convincing - Corey would indeed be the best shot for influence/protection in this scenario .

My original choice of Ryan would be too difficult to win over, not to mention scheming and conniving.

[squirrel]

So glad that Ryan decided to not remove the tube from Nick's police boots! The idea to put them right next to the restrained Josh who is forced to inhale the inside of them was brilliant and hot as hell!

Joshua must be soooo pissed off right now!

I really wonder what Zack had in his mind when said about the 'disappearance'

[sock slave boy]

something even more terrible for Josh is that he is more than locked in a sleeping bag, he can only squirm and get angry inside and make his temperature rise.
so he sweats like never before, humidienf his environment and it's clothing, but the worst thing is that he is forced to smell his own smell, which also mixes with that of Nick, which does not improve the quality of air.

It's simply a great torture, he risks having after-effects on odor levels and smelling more in the future.

[bondagefreak]

...but the worst thing is that he is forced to smell his own smell, which also mixes with that of Nick, which does not improve the quality of air.

You're mistaken, buddy-boi. Joshua is gas masked, meaning that he is only smelling and sniffing air outside the bags, or in this case, only sniffing the air (if you can call it that) inside Nick's feverish boot!

Joshua's fate, though torturous, may not be quite as uncomfortable as you describe. Keep in mind that the climate this takes place in is quite cold, meaning cool room temperature - cool enough to warrant the use of the fireplace over in the living room.

Add to that the fact that Josh is strapped down to a medical stretcher, meaning he can't move or exert himself much. The smell of Nick's boot is undoubtedly far worse than you imagine, but the rest of Josh's imprisonment is probably more comfy than you think it to be

[Socksbound]

Ryan learning Steven isn’t all innocent is going to make interesting reading moving forward. I think Steven is going to be in for some tormenting.

Steven’s tactical acumen is about to get him stored outta the way and I’m all for it.

Hoping that Josh gets a chance to toy with Steven before his birthday is over.

[Pup Wingletang]

We all knew Ryan wasn't going to make things any better for poor old Josh and I love the knowing wink to Steven.

Looks like Steven is painting a target on his back with his strategic guidance to Nick. You know what they say - all's fair in love and war!

I agree with the last two sentences, however the first remains debatable, I agree that he has a gas mask, which limits him to only suffering the smell which is sent within.
however the gas mask and open throughout the face, mouth and nose at a minimum, this area must be in heat, therefore sweat, which does not improve the odor.

I can imagine that at the end Joshua's will have his hair all wet from sweat

[bondagefreak]

No, that's not exactly how gas masks work. You should look them up even even look into trying some out at one point. Most gas masks have an internal rubber face piece that fits tight around the wearer's chin, mouth and nose. This makes opening one's mouth and talking somewhat difficult, but it prevents the wearer from exhaling into the rest of his mask and fogging up his goggles (something which would be highly impractical on the battlefield). It keeps the inside of the mast dry and free of excess humidity.

While Russian masks often sought by bondage enthusiasts (due to their cheap price) are mass-produced and not at all designed with the comfort of the wearer in mind (as is the case with most Russian gear), British, French, Korean, American, Canadian, German (etc) gas masks are all much better built and designed for long term comfort.


In any case, the idea that gas masks are uncomfortable and make you sweaty is a misconception. Russian masks yes, other masks no. The vast majority of masks don't even go over your hair. They go over your face and have straps going around your head, making them much easier to put on and keeping the wearer's head dry even after many hours of use.

I'll leave the details surrounding Joshua's fate up to your imagination though.
If you'd rather imagine him as being all sweaty and whatnot, then that's fine with me

[OrdinaryWorld]

I have come to the conclusion I have no idea how gas masks work

I remember there was a handy infographic somewhere on this forum showing how they worked, wonder where that went

[GoBucks]

Uh oh looks like Steven's mind is about to get him in a whole lot of trouble!

Not only does his mind for the game have the others wanting to inflict some revenge, but Ryan knows his dirty little secret too!

[Subboi]

I absolutely loved the end of the chapter. Suspense and tension are both building up very nicely

[bondagefreak]

No worries. They mystify most people initially (my past self included). It's only when you actually pick one up that you suddenly realise how simple their functionality is. Basically, there are two types of masks. 1. Russian masks from the 70s-90s, which are rubber masks that go completely over your head. They're common in BDSM 'cause they cost nothing. These masks are a pain to put on and take off if you have longish hair and they (as @sock slave boy pointed out) fog up and make your face really sweaty. Ok for short-term use, but somewhat uncomfortable if worn for an extended period.

2. Masks from pretty much every other country (and probably more modern Russian masks) are different. They fit over your face and strap behind your head. Far more comfortable for long-term wear. This is what most masks look like on the inside:



The mask latches on (air-tight) around the front of your head. Your mouth, chin and nose fit into the inner mask, keeping the rest of the mask dry and preventing your exhalation from fogging up the goggles, at the cost of impeding your ability to articulate a bit.

Masks have one (sometimes two) inhalation port(s) and one exhalation vent.
So in short, you breathe in front of the inhale port and exhale into the exhale vent. In one end, out the other.
Inhale ports can be fitted with mission-specific hoses and filters of various kinds. Hope this helps with the mental imagery.
