The Perfect Wife

Realm Of Dreams

Three chairs lined up one by one in a spacious warehouse, awaiting the arrival of three unwilling guests. John lead the beginning march as his daughter and Harvey followed behind him. All three had been blind folded and there hands were bound behind there backs. They could tell by the echo of chatter that they were in a enormous building. After each of them were plopped down onto a chair, there blind fold was unmasked. Bright florescent lights beamed down on them. John noticed the building was man built from the gecko , it had to be the size of four football fields lined up. From a far distance, heels clicked and clacked towards them. Margo had no emotion or care to what was happening around her - earlier that morning she was forced to part ways with her daughter and all hope was shattered. The heels made an abrupt stop in front of Margo.

"Happy faces everyone, come on - this is going to be a spectacular day." No Face was smirking as she eyed her guests. "Now, I'm sure your wondering where you are and what this place is."

"No."Margo said firmly looking down towards her feet. "I could really care less." She muttered with a ferment attitude.

No Face bent down to her level . "I think if you ever want to see Brooke's precious smile again, you would want to listen carefully." No Face's manor quickly turned malicious.

"Just get on with it." John interrupted as he saw the life from his daughters eyes slowly vanishing in front of him.

"So eager they are tonight.. alright. Allan- drop the screen will you." No Face nodded towards Mr.Allan who was standing among a few other Gentlemen armed and dressed to guard.

A large canvas dropped before them and what was a bright warehosue quickly lost light in the matter of moments as the canvas screen lit up.

"For decades I ran Millwood as sort of a.. test trial. It started out small and soon began to rise as we found more settlers arriving and-" No Face was cut off in her speech.

"Against there will." Margo added hastily, still looking at her worn out black heels.

"Shut it." No Face warned with a quick glare over her shoulder. "As I was saying, this small town was really the testing grounds for well- this." She waved her hands pointing around the warehouse. "I thought to myself, I want something bigger... better.. more secluded." No Face was flipping through various floor plans of houses and buildings on the screen. "After years and years.. we finally are finished." She stood there with a smirk looking at her work in front of her.

"It'll never work." John made clear as his eyes wandered the screen. "A place this size, will never stay hidden forever. We drove for about four hours until you sedated us, so were not to far off from Millwood and we must be on the outskirts of-" Mr.Allan walked over and back handed John clear across the face.

"She didn't ask for your input, did she?" Mr. Allan had a firm grip on his head.

"Now now, the man has a some serious concern- let me clear that up." She took a few steps towards the three of them. "We did indeed drive four hours, to Mr.Allan's private jet, in which flew us half way across the world.... " She stopped to look at Margo who started to hyperventilate quietly in her seat. "Were not in Kansas anymore, are we sweety?"

"I don't believe you." Johns voice was stern, there was no way he was half way across the world from his home town, from his grand daughter .. from his old life.

"You don't have to." No Face leaned forward to his face. "It doesn't matter where we are, your mine. All of you. We can make this easy or very very hard for you. All of you."

"Why."Margo whimpered. "Why? what do you get out of this." She looked up for the first time to see No Face's face.

"I get the lives of pretty girls like you to play with, my sweet dolls." No Face waltzed back to her stance in the middle. "We're calling it Realm Of Dreams." She paused as she took in the moment of happiness she felt as everything was coming together. " This really was all perfect timing, your guys little escape, it all fell into the palm of my hand."

No Face never felt more untouchable as she did in this exact moment. "Margo. I know you want your daughter back, but that's a goal you are going to work towards as your time here will be teaching a home economics class for the new faces we will be bringing in. You show me you want it, and I will have you back in a proper environment for the perfect wife." No Face took a few steps towards Harvey. "Your an awfully quiet puppy tonight." She mocked as she looked down at him. "As for you, I want limited contact between you and Margo. A wife never disobeys the laws of marriage, I want a good role model for the young girls here- if one you sleeps around it becomes habit. So I'm eliminating day to day run ins by you two and having you work some hard labor- if you prove yourself to me I'm sure I can have you courted into a relationship by the end of the year. "

Harvey kind of assumed he would be separated from Margo, as he sat there and heard his rules being read out to him he couldn't stop thinking about how no one back home would be missing him. "I would really like to find someone, Mam if that is not too much to ask for.." He figured his time here was definite and to make it worth his while.

"Your're quite the looker, I'm sure any girl here will love to be with you." No Face glanced towards Margo, who was questioning Harvey's thought process. "John, your a pretty ripe tomato, I haven't quite figured out your roll but I know you will be alongside your daughter and the many other teachers I'm bringing in, teaching classes- not for the wives but for the life and heart of this place, the children."

"Many others? Theres no more than a dozen kids back at Millwood.. " John looked at her in confusion.

"There will be others, many many others." No Face smile was grimace, she saw the look of horror on Johns face. "Millwood wasn't my only place, sure it was home but i've had a few share of run down towns turned into my own creations. The goal was to always bring them together, create a society that should have never died out."

"So your going to force , god knows how many of us into this place to live? Are you expecting a "Lord of the flies" outcome here?" John had a million questions scampering his mind.

"You know John, for a smart man you really are stupid." No Face had steady eye contact with him. "Boys, stand them up."

Mr.Allan and two other men each grabbed one of them. "Lets go, I think its been enough talk."

As No Face's heels clicked onto the floor, they walked to the very back of the warehouse. She leaned in and typed a lengthy code in and there it opened, two large sliding doors separated in front of them. "Ladies first" Mr. Allan said as he shoved Margo forward.

The large panel doors revealed an open entrance to outside, for miles and miles they saw trees and an assortment of baby blue, pink, yellow and lilac houses lined up long streets. They noticed an older gentleman awaiting for them to have a seat on a golf cart.

"Let's go for the tour, shall we?" No face climbed in the front seat and the rest followed.

Margo couldn't believe her eyes, she kept looking up at the sun shining down on them - when she noticed the sun was beaming off of some invisible shelter above the place. "We're caged in." She whispered to herself loud enough for her father to hear.

"We have multiple housing units we arranged alphabetically- we will keep families together as they were back in there origin of where they are coming from. Once we get past the neighbourhood we will be entering the town." No Face put on black cat like sun glasses as she explained.

"Economically this doesn't make sense. How are you going to feed us, keep up supply and demand when there's no currency here." John was slowly losing the pieces of this bizarre puzzle in his mind.

No Face gave a light chuckle. "The United States practically gives us everything we need. They so desperately want to help third world countries it was almost too easy to make it on the list. For all they know we are some small town out here.. and for the stuff we don't get from them we import ourselves. It's amazing what a few thousand dollars of bribery you can sneak across a boarder."

"That's your first mistake- trusting people on the outside. People will get suspicious- they will invade." It was music to his ears knowing at least a handful of people knew about this messed up creation.

"That's where I come in." Mr.Allan turned around. "Im a man of many jobs, one of them over seeing paperwork for donations to these so called "third world" places.

Any hope John had for a brief moment was crushed. "Let's continue the tour shall we." No Face watched there reactions through the mirror in front of her- deep inside she finally felt complete.
