Escaping Polygamy ~Muke

Polygamy (prologue)

I got the idea from a dream... I fell asleep watching Escaping Polygamy while reading Muke, so that's the reason. Hope you love it...

Polygamy is an act of religion. A religion in which they believe that in order to enter the highest glory of God, they have to live in a polygamist life style. Meaning to marry multiple times to someone of the same blood and make the population grow. To listen, and abide to every rule and direction they are told. And leaving this group means leaving everything and everyone you know.

I live in a polygamy family, called The Legacy. There is over a thousand people making up this family, making us the biggest Polygamy practice in the world . My father, Andrew Hemming, has 14 wives, the 9th being my mother, and has a total of 124 kids, all of them being my half brothers and sisters, but the 16 full bloods. My father has 7 brothers, and each brother has over 20 kids, and some of those kids have kids. And for generations we have built up to this point.

Everyday, I tell myself that I should be lucky, that I'm part of the chosen family, like I've been lead to believe for many years, but deep down I know it's terrible. I've been told ever since I was young, that if you leave you're going to hell, but in all honestly this was hell.

Day in and day out I was constantly being told what to do, and that everything I did was wrong. I was mentally and physically abused by my own family. My father wanted nothing to do with my mom and all my siblings unless it was to send off one of my sisters to get married, or to impregnate my mom. That's what he did with all his wives, and everyone is okay with it cause honestly everyone worships my father. Apparently he was chosen from 'god' to lead us here on earth, he's what we call 'the man on the tower'.

What people know about us isn't even the half of it. They have no clue of the sacrifices we make for something we don't even know is real. They all think that it's about religion, but it's about sex. I don't believe any word of what they preach to us, but it's not like I can come upfront say that...no, I would get beaten for that, so I suck it up, and live on. I have no power here, none, zip, nada. I'm just a dog at their command.

The men in charge are my dad and all his brothers, they are in the top numbers. All men are rated. My Father is a 2, and I'm so far down that I don't even need a number. I'm not important, but I am constantly reminded that I could be, even though it's not true.

So the plan that has been going on for many years is that a woman will marry to a man of high number, have children with him and make the population larger. That's not how it works for me. I am considered a mark on our perfect family because I'm gay... see the problem? Guys can't have kids with another guy, and it's not like my dad cares. He says that if he doesn't find someone willing to marry me, then he'll just force me to marry and fuck a woman... fun, right? This only proves that I have no rights in my life.

It honestly and truly sucks, but it could be worst...
