The Kirkwall Chronicles
BOOK I: The Union
Prologue
 
August 9th, 1931
Kirkwall, Oregon
 
Gregory Schwartz ran. He weaved through the trees. He brushed aside branches. He jumped over small bushes. He kept running, running for his life. To him, this was life or death. If they caught him, his life might as well be over. He would be targeted, marked, for the rest of his schooldays. He wasn't the only one running. There were two other boys, chosen because they were small, skinny, seemingly weak. They were easy pickings. A bigger boy might have challenged whoever nominated them to a fight and won.
 
The black-haired boy tried to see where the other boys were but he couldn't find them. His hair was divided in two by a line in the middle. He had black eyes. As for his body? It was an era where boys would swim naked and in public in most parts of the country but not in Kirkwall. Once a boy was over five years old, the law mandated that their genitals be covered at all times. Unless they were marked. Unless they were being punished. That meant that he hadn't seen his classmates or they haven't seen him naked. Not even in the locker rooms during the recent summer camp.
 
He had no idea if his penis was big or not but he had suspicions it wasn't. The packages outlining the other boy's long underwear suggested that much. He had no hair on his armpits, none on his pubic region, none of his chest. He had yet to begin puberty, which was probably another reason he had been marked. He might have only been beginning the sixth grade but he could tell that he was already going to have to play catch up in developing.
 
He kept running, trying to stay focused, hoping that he would be able to outrun the other boys and thus not get caught. He thought he might be ahead but he had been so busy just trying to get away he wasn't sure. Maybe they were far ahead of him. Maybe he had already lost. Not that he thought he could afford to think like that. Especially not this year. Thanks to the Great Depression, many families had lost their jobs, their homes. The town mayor, in an attempt to life the town's spirits, had hired an artist to commemorate this year's capture for all of eternity. He would be a statue, to be gazed upon by future generations of the small town.
 
George never saw the sixteen-year old junior coming. One second, he was running, his feet barely touching the ground. The next second, he was down on the floor, the junior holding him down.
 
“No!” George yelled out as he realized what it meant. The junior merely laughed at his face. Soon, he was surrounded by a lot of teenagers and even one adult. The adult took out a flare gun and shot it to the sky, telling the other boys that they had gotten away. That George had been captured. The group lifted George up and they carried him.
 
It took about half an hour but they were in the middle of the town square. There was a small little park and right in the middle were two trees. Between the trees was a stand where the statue that was now for sure going to be based on George would go. But for now, they had to prepare George. George knew fighting was useless but he struggled nonetheless as they pulled his shoes and socks off. He tried to punch his way out but the teens held his arms strong as they forced his shirt to come off, ripping it. He tried kicking but they continued to hold him as they took off his belt and pulled his pants off.
 
He was left in his underwear. Luckily, it covered his whole body. They started to take the buttons off and before he knew it, he wasn't so lucky anymore. He was completely naked. They dragged him to one of the trees and tied his hands so that he was stuck there, exposing his whole body to the whole town. The girls and women there laughed, teasing his tiny little penis. The town photographer took his photo so that it would appear in the newspaper, confirming he would be a target.
 
For about an hour, the town mocked him cruelly, bringing him to tears, pointing at his privates, laughing at his expense. For an hour, girls touched him all over, making him squirm, tickling him, even pulling hard on his penis and balls. That hour was the worst of his life to that point but he knew it wouldn't get better.
 
After the hour, the crowd finally dispersed but they left him there. At this point, the artist finally arrived. And he started work on the statue. Of course, the artist didn't just start shaping stone right then and there. He instead took a very detailed drawing of the boy, making sure to capture the dimensions of each appendage just right. It would take months for him to complete his work, maybe even years, but that didn't make George feel better. He knew his naked body would last a lifetime, displayed for all, always present.
 
He also knew it wasn't going to be the last time he would be naked in public. He was lucky his parents weren't fanatics who thought that being marked meant he should wear no clothes all the time. The kid above his grade who had also been marked had to be naked all the time. But he knew that it would be the right of any kid who wasn't marked or any adult to be able to get him to strip naked. He knew it wouldn't happen every day but he'd be naked at least once a week.
 
He knew that even when he wasn't being naked, he wouldn't necessarily be happy. Since he was marked, it meant anytime one of the people in his class misbehaved, he'd be the one getting punished at school. That might include naked time but worse it would mean getting spanked, paddled, or switched. Since he was marked, it meant that throughout the day, any kid in the town was free to harass him and if he tried to resist, he'd get punished. Since he was marked, he'd be forced to particiate in sexual activities-some of them public-regardless of his will. There was no escaping it. Until he turned 18 and became an adult, he'd be one of the town's punching bags-literally and figuratively.
 
Even after the artist was done, he had to spend the whole day naked, tied to the tree. He was finally freed once night came by his parents. He wasn't looking forward to his first day of school, which would take place on the next day.
 
July 4th, 1933
 
“Why can't they pick another kid? Why does it have to be me?” Thirteen-year old George Schwartz asked his mother that morning during breakfast
“The town thought it would make sense if they used you again. It would add continuity.” George's mother told him. She felt bad for her son. When she had first arrived to the island with her husband, who had grown up in the small town, she had been shocked by the town's unique customs. She had been pregnant at the time with George and had considered trying to find a way back to the mainland. But she had stuck through it and while she didn't really participate, she didn't get in the way.
“Then why do I have to shave? I'll look like I'm still a little kid.” George replied. He had grown pubic hair, his balls had dropped, his voice was now manly. He was in the middle of a very public puberty since he was often very naked.
“Because it helps the artist. Plus you don't have THAT much hair yet and it would be hard to add that to the statue. But look on the bright side, you are bigger now AND you'll be hard on this statue.” His mother pointed out although she did wince at the mention he'll be hard. In many ways, Kirkwall was very puritan but when it came to the marked it always flew out of the window.
“Yeah, people will think I'm a pervert when it's against my will.” George said, pouting.
“Let them think what they want.” She said.
 
Once he was done with breakfast, she took him to the bathroom. He stripped naked in front of her and then she got to work. Before she was done, he was as hairless as he had been with the first statue. When she was done with her handiwork, she grabbed his hand and walked to the nearby beach. A beach where if you looked hard enough, you'd be able to see the coast of Oregon.
 
It didn't surprise George that the beach was busier than normal. There were some tourists, some who knew what was going to happen, some who didn't, but none who would object. There were some gasps from some of the mainlanders who clearly were ignorant about the island's customs but the local police made sure nobody would intrude.
 
There were two stands. One marble one where the new statue was going to go, and another wooden one where George would stand. He knew the wooden stand would continue to be there for future kids who would be unlucky enough to mimic the statue.
 
The crowd gathered around George. As always, there was teasing and mocking. George didn't cry though. He had become used to it. He wasn't immune. He was still very embarrassed about being naked in front of a crowd especially when they never let him forget it. But at some point, with all the teasing, he grew a thicker skin. That had the odd effect of making the crowd trying harder to make him cry but it rarely worked now.
 
Likewise, when he grabbed his penis and made it go hard, it wasn't like he was eleven where the mere action of having to masturbate in public, or masturbate at all really, had made him cry. He was used to the actions even if he hated it, was still embarrassed by it. The teasing grew and they would yell out he's a pervert even though the only reason he was doing it was for their enjoyment. Yes, with the marked, otherwise respectable members of society could lose the constraints of civility and indulge in their basest desires.
 
He was made to stop rubbing but keep one hand on his penis, the other behind his head. He could only rub if he started losing his erection. This was so that the artist, the same one the town had hired a couple years back, could once again take a very detailed sketch of his body to turn into a statue. At least he would look a little older on this statue so that when people read the plaque and realized it was the same kid, they could see he wasn't completely a little kid anymore.
 
Once the artist was done, he was directed by the crowd to masturbate in front of them not once, not twice, but three times before he was allowed off the wooden stage. And while each time he rubbed his penis and each time he reached an orgasm shamed him to his very core, he performed the actions diligently. At least this time he wouldn't have to suck any penises. The first time he had to do that when he was eleven, he had almost thrown up right after. He hated that more than anything, still finding it disgusting to put in his mouth. To taste it or the balls right under them was the worst thing the other kids did to him by far. Well that and maybe when they used his face as a toilet.
 
November 3rd, 1936
 
It didn't matter that there was snow on the ground. It didn't matter that the kids were wearing jackets to weather the cold. What did matter is that the town had decided to order a third statue to be made, once again of George Schwartz but this time paid through the WPA, and this time placing it in the middle of the high school courtyard. George was now sixteen. He had developed quite nicely, grown into a nice fine looking lad. Of course, that only made the girls strip him once they were indoors even more than when he was a little prepubescent boy.
 
Not that George ever stopped being embarrassed even though he was more confident about his body now. He couldn't wait to get away from Kirkwall so that nobody whose seen him naked would be in his everyday life. Minus his girlfriend of course but that was in private and between the two of them. But right now, he had to put his fantasy of being far away from Kirkwall. He was still inside, in a classroom right next to the courtyard.
 
He stripped naked in front of the principal. His penis was now quite long, in fact it might be the biggest in the school now, but he was still very ashamed of people seeing it. Size doesn't really matter and the town who mocked him didn't stop just because he had an impressive penis. If anything, they delighted in teasing him even when he was fully clothed now because of it. The fact that he was considered one of the most attractive teens to be marked in recent memory only seemed to bring more attention to him. He hated it.
 
He bent over the desk as the principal picked up his paddle. He was going to get paddled long and hard before he stepped outside. There was no real reason besides the fact that the statue was supposed to represent a punished student. It wasn't the first time he had been spanked for no reason although usually those were just the kids and not the adults. The adults usually always had a reason because his classmates would get in trouble just so he'd get punished.
 
Even though he was used to it, it didn't stop George from crying. All-in-all, after fifty slaps with the paddle, George's butt was on fire. The principal then got a switch, got George to stand up, and they went outside into the cold.
 
George hated the fact that it was so cold. It meant that his now actually impressive penis would shrink down so that he'd be smaller than in the statue when he was thirteen years old. It would mean he would be as small as the time he was eleven years old. George passed the marble stand where the third and final statue would go. It was right next to a wooden stage where marked kids in the future would get spanked and paddled. Up until then it had happened in the assembly but once the statue was there, it would happen right next to George's naked marble body.
 
Once he was up there, in front of just about the whole student body, the principal got in place. George leaned down, making sure his butt was in place for the principal. He wouldn't be the only one captured this time. The clothed principal (although to the principal's annoyance without winter wear), bringing down the switch about halfway. The statue would thus be of George mid-switch.
 
The artist both rushed (for George's health) and took his time (for accuracy) on the sketch. He made sure to finish in time before George was in any real risk of getting sick or damaged but to make sure his sketch was as detailed as possible. Once he was done, George and the principal rushed inside to get warmed up.
 
August 14th, 1945
 
The town was celebrating the victory over the Japanese like crazy. There was drinking, singing, and general debauchery. The men who had served in the second world war and already returning home were dancing in the streets of Kirkwall. Some of them were kissing any girl who got near them. It didn't matter: the war was won, the United States had emerged victorious, and the world looked like it would only get better. The future belonged to the Americans and the Americans knew it.
 
George Schwarts was on the island that day. He had served in the war and now he was a veteran, looking to buy his own house and settle down in the island he had once hated but now that he was an adult, it was his home. It had always been his own home and nobody really teased or mocked him anymore. He was like everyone else: accepted as an integral part of the community and not as a punching bag.
 
He was like his mother. He wasn't a fan of the town's customs but he never got in the way. Not even as he walked through the town square and saw naked two boys, one fourteen, and one blonde-haired black-eyed eleven-year old kid with light freckles (who had just been marked a few days ago) tied to the trees right next to his statue. He actually smiled at his young self. Yes, those years had been a nightmare to live through but compared to the horrors of war, they were but a distance memory that looked like the best of days.
 
He went to the beach where he saw a thirteen-year old next to his second statue giving a nice little show. The thirteen-year old was very red-faced as he masturbated in front of them while also sucking a fifteen-year old kid who had also been marked. They would switch places at least a few times before the crowd would let them go. Considering the things he had done in service of his country, having to give blowjobs and getting fucked in the ass, which hard started when he was twelve, weren't any more pleasant but they weren't what kept him up at night.
 
Finally he went to the school where he was set to be a teacher. He went to the middle courtyard where a naked brown-haired twelve-year old was in the process of getting paddled next to his last statue. Next to the stand a sixteen-year old and seventeen-year old were waiting for their turns but based on the state of their butt and their crying faces, it would be their second or third time on the stage. The spankings he got nothing compared to the pain he felt when he got shot in the war.
 
Yes, George was back. And while he vowed to try to one day change the town for the better, little did he know how he would in five years fortify the town's weird customs. For deep down, in his heart, he always secretly wanted other boys to suffer like he had had.
