THE LORD OF THE BOYS

CHAPTER 2 - KNEEL BEFORE YOUR LORD, BOYS

The three boys woke up to find themselves in a strange unknown place and the last they remembered was being on a plane that crashed. How come they were still alive? Their bodies were still in one piece exactly as they had been before the crash.

''Where are we?'' Jake said to the others? ''this place is weird''

It appeared to be an empty space, hard to describe, really nothing like what they had experienced on Earth. Like a void of nothingness, but they knew they were present within it

Suddenly a voice bellowed at them, very loudly. It seemed to come from above

''GET ON YOUR KNEES, BOYS!'

The boys looked around wondering where this loud terrifying voice was coming from

''Hello, who is there?'' Ryan called out, feeling scared but trying to sound confident

''I AM YOUR LORD, I COMMAND YOU TO KNEEL AT ONCE!''

The three boys were very scared and confused but the voice was angry and they decided to obey and the three of them got on their knees and looked up to where the voice was coming from

''YOU BOYS WILL LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU AND YOU WILL NOT SPEAK UNTIL I GIVE YOU PERMISSION'' the voice demanded ''YOU BOYS HAVE DIED AT THE AGE OF 18 IN A PLANE CRASH ON EARTH. I AM THE LORD GOD, KEEPER OF BOYS WHO DIE AGED 18. ANY BOY WHO DIES AT EXACTLY THE AGE OF 18, NEVER YOUNGER OR OLDER, ONLY 18, COMES TO ME TO SERVE AND WORSHIP ME FOR ETERNITY. MOST BOYS WHEN THEY GET HERE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, THEY TRY TO ARGUE WITH ME AND RESIST ME. YOU BOYS WILL FIND THAT EVENTUALLY, YOU'LL BE WORSHIPPING ME FOR ETERNITY EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE THE PUNISHMENTS I WILL GIVE YOU TO HELP PERSUADE YOU WILL BE SO HORRIFIC YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE''

The boys were feeling complete horror and terror now, how can this be real? This was some insane, cruel twisted shit they were being forced into

''YOU BOYS HAVE PERMISSION TO SPEAK AND TELL ME THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TELLING YOU'' The voice boomed

''We're scared and we don't really understand this no'' Liam said meekly

Suddenly a live video came to them on a massive screen, like a cinema screen. Thousands of boys, all looking like 18-year-olds, with their young human bodies intact the same way Jake, Ryan, and Liam's were, were kneeling or lying face down on the ground in some huge strange place. Again hard to describe as nothing like a place on earth. This place was lit up brightly and it looked kind of ''pretty'' and comfortable, the boys looked comfortable and not in pain, but this place looked silent and boring and the boys were just in kneeling or prostrate positions like statues staring up at something above them

''Aaron will come and bring you to meet me now'' the voice said, sounding less angry now ''Aaron has been here for 5,000 years and is one of my best slaves''

A short moment later an 18-year-old boy called Aaron came to greet them

''I'm Aaron'' he said in a robotic voice ''I'm 18 and I've been 18 for 5,000 years. I will be 18 for eternity. You will also be 18 for eternity, Follow me''

They followed and were taken to the place where the other boys were

''Please greet the newcomers'' the voice demanded

''Hello, we're all 18 and we'll be 18 for eternity and you will be too'' the voices said robotically ''welcome to your new home''

Jake, Liam, and Ryan stared at each other in horror and then looked around at the boys

''NOW YOU WILL JOIN THE BOYS TO KNEEL AND WORSHIP'' the voice demanded, angry and yelling again ''IF YOU REFUSE I CAN SHOW YOU THE ALTERNATIVES I WILL USE UNTIL YOU EVENTUALLY AGREE''

''Please come and join us, kneel and worship with us!'' the boys all said

''We're supposed to do this for eternity?!'' Jake whispered to the other two ''For eternity? fuck....''

''BOYS, DON'T WHISPER'' the Lord bellowed ''YOUR LORD CAN HEAR EVERY WORD YOU SAY SO WHISPERING IS POINTLESS AND TALKING WITHOUT PERMISSION IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND HIGHLY PUNISHABLE. ALSO DO NOT EVER SWEAR AGAIN THAT IS HIGHLY PUNISHABLE TOO!''

''Sorry...'' Jake mumbled, trembling with fear

''SO, ARE YOU BOYS GOING TO KNEEL NOW OR WILL I HAVE TO START THE PUNISHMENT TO GET YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MINDS? I CURRENTLY HAVE OVER 20,000 VERY STUBBORN BOYS IN THE PUNISHMENT ZONE SUFFERING. EVENTUALLY ONE BY ONE THEY WILL BEG ME TO LET THEM OUT, ITS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A MATTER OF TIME BUT IT CAN TAKE A LONG TIME SOMETIMES. I WARN YOU, IF YOU GO TO THE PUNISHMENT ZONE YOU WILL NOT LIKE IT AND THE LONGER YOU STAY THERE THE WORSE IT GETS''

Absolutely terrified, Jake fell to his knees and was startled when his bent legs were locked into an iron chain by some invisible force

''GOOD BOY, NOW YOU KNEEL LIKE THAT FOR ETERNITY AND WORSHIP ME'' The harsh voice said 

The other two looked at Jake and the other boys kneeling. Jake looked terrified, the other boys just looked robotic, like after so many years they just went through the motions of this eternal forced worship forever and ever 

''JAKE I WANT TO SEE YOU WITH YOUR FACE DOWN ON THE GROUND'' his Lord told him ''YOU WILL ALSO CHANGE POSITIONS AND KNEEL LATER BUT FIRST YOU WILL BE ON YOUR FACE FOR THE FIRST 100 YEARS''

''100 years?'' Jake whimpered

''YES BOY PROSTRATE YOURSELF NOW AND YOU STAY LIKE THAT FOR 100 YEARS, AFTER THAT YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO GET UP AND WORSHIP IN DIFFERENT WAYS. THERE WILL BE SOME VARIETY BUT 100 YEARS ON YOUR FACE IS MANDATORY AT THE START. WORSHIPPING FACE DOWN ON THE GROUND IS MY FAVOURITE TYPE OF WORSHIP. HURRY UP AND DO IT''

Jake fell down flat on the floor with his face pressed down to the floor

''NOW WHAT ABOUT YOU OTHER TWO BOYS?''    

''FORGET IT MAN I AM NEVER GONNA DO THIS!'' Ryan screamed furiously

''NOR WILL I'' Liam yelled

''OH, DEAR...OK BOYS YOU WILL NOW BE ESCORTED TO THE PUNISHMENT ZONE''
