Breeding At Will

It took several years longer than expected, but finally in 2030 Covid ended. Unfortunately it claimed a lot of lives with it. The latest variant proved so deadly it killed most within a day. This meant the virus was able to kill itself off but taking the host with it. The final death toll was high, very high. A lot of business collapsed without workers and the population had become much smaller. Luxury businesses, or ones less important to the survival of humanity quickly diminished leaving essential workers as some of the most important. However, humans are adaptable and life quickly resumed at its normal pace, with life being a bit less crowded.

Many of the political fights ongoing ceased as surviving was much more important. The fight to overturn Roe vs Wade was abandoned and, given that it was no longer considered essential, abortion was abolished completely. No matter what anyone believes, the truth is America is a patriarchal society as men, from hunter-gatherer tribes up until now, have always ruled. As such the creation of life was deemed very important and the rules had changed.

Suddenly what certain states considered statutory rape wasn’t. Nor was it worth being deemed a sex crime. With the population shrunken so small, a lot of rules had been overturned and the “rights” of females everywhere had begun dissipating. Being a stay at home mom to raise kids slowly became the expectation for many women. With the abolishment of all birth control with the exception of condoms, pregnancy became a real threat when it came to any unprotected sex.

Tyler woke that morning feeling alright. He looked in the mirror at his average frame. He wasn’t overly attractive but far from ugly. Standing at 5’7” with brown hair and blue eyes he wasn’t fat, but didn’t frequently work out either. As a team leader at Walmart, he wasn’t exactly a man of high rank either in the world, but at 28 it was a respectable job. However, Tyler knew that was all about to change that day.

After a quick breakfast he went to check the mail and found the envelope he was waiting for. It was a large manila envelope and delivered first class mail. He held it for a moment thinking it was lighter than it should’ve been. He hurried inside and delicately ripped it open, though there was no need.

He tipped it upside down and out fell a laminated card. It was much like a drivers license in that it had his picture and some basic info, though not nearly as much. He admired the card fiercely and said aloud, “I have my stud card finally.” He was referring to the slang term which people used. Few of them were issued based on vigorous background, personality checks, and more. But Tyler, a quite average guy, somehow qualified. Unfortunately, he didn’t have much time to ponder the card as he had to go to work. Regardless of his status, he still had bills to pay and set off to get ready for work. But he had just enough time to read the first part of it:

“Women are the source from which human life is reborn, her body the gateway through which we all enter the world. For nine months she carries a developing human being in her womb, endures the agony of labor and childbirth, and faithfully cares for her newborn afterward, nurturing it with her milk, her touch, her warmth, and her voice. Throughout the life cycle of her child she remains in service to this growing person’s needs, selflessly extending her mind, body, and spirit for his or her well-being.”

“Great sacrifice and devotion to those she cares for are not unusual acts for the female. Even women who have little regard for motherhood often still have within them some spark of a nurturing dimension—the intuitiveness of feminine empathy, a natural softness, and an often innate desire to please. It is no mystery a woman will often use these innate qualities to please her mate, too. When her heart is captured, she will do anything to make the one she loves happy and comfortable, often placing her needs as secondary. It is our belief these natural qualities within the female, given the right environment and guidance, serve as a foundation upon which a realized submissivity may be built.”

He was quite surprised to read such a card. It was a clear devotement to motherhood and subservience in women. It was very interesting and simultaneously almost turned him on. However, he needed to get to work and time was short.

Tyler always worked the closing shift, so he arrived at work at 3pm and met his manager in the electronics department. Walmart was not what it used to be and was much smaller than it had been years ago. Several sections had been closed off and the product was much smaller in variety. Until the world was up and working again it’d remain that way. Tyler was his boss and one he genuinely liked. Tyler was a hard worker and fair. He never expected more out of his employees than he did himself.

Despite being a team leader, he was in charge of the store around 7pm when all other managers left. This meant that Tyler got around a lot and knew most of the employees quite well, especially with such a small store. His department, electronics, didn’t have much going on after 7pm, so he spent most of his time walking around and talking to people and making sure the store was running smoothly. Except for a few crazy customers and small crises, there typically wasn’t much to do. He made his way to the front to figure out who was working with him that night until closing at 11pm.

As he approached he saw Chloe, his front end supervisor. She was only 19 and about 5’4”. Her hair was always some dyed color and today it was a bright pink turning blonde. She was the youngest front end supervisor and sometimes quite mature for her age. Tyler had known her whole family for well over a year and was considered a family friend. Chloe’s best friend Tessa was also up front managing the self check out area along with Kierra, a very short but nice girl.

“Hi Chloe, what’s going on here tonight?” Tyler asked politely.

Chloe instantly smiled. “So glad you’re in charge tonight. I only have us three but I’m trying to see if I can get Ethan to come in and close 8-11 since Kierra is only 16 and has to leave at 10.”

“Well I trust you, just keep me informed, alight?”

Chloe nodded. “I will, and if anything goes crazy I’ll call you.” While there was a PA system, they frequently called each other as it was quicker to get their attention. “Also can you take me out to practice driving this Sunday?”

Sunday was Tyler’s day off and he’d often take Chloe driving, in which he’d teach her how to drive so she could get a license. “Sure, I’m off tomorrow too.” Tyler usually had Saturday and Sunday off, of which he didn’t have much to do. “But let me know if you get someone else in.”

“Sure,” Chloe replied and walked off to check on her cashiers.

Tyler went to the break room deciding to take a 15 minute break.
