Ageless LW Whumpee and human Caregiver who got close before Whumpee was captured/kidnapped, and reunited after multiple decades of separation. Caregiver has the signs of life around their face--wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots--and yet Whumpee is exactly the same as when they disappeared, not so much as a grey hair to indicate their existence outside of memories.
Weapons don't age, not with active use and maintenance, but humans do; Caregiver was slower now, quieter and more contemplative, working with younger humans and securing the life he'd built for himself, and Whumpee sat somewhere on the outskirts looking in at life he'd never understand.
He'd never considered that Caregiver wouldn't be around as long as himself. He's not certain what he'll do as Caregiver grows older, weaker, less himself.

ââââââ
Waking, same time as always, the routine was basically mechanically ingrained in his brain. Lying in the old, twin sized mattress of the bunk bed the people had provided, he dared not shut his eyes, dared not to blink, dared not stop staring. He fought against the overcoming call of slumber that still had its hold on him.
The walls were blue.
He blinked, once, then twice, then three times, sucking in a breath of lukewarm air.
Not white, not painstakingly, achingly white, but blue. A grayish sort of the color - or maybe that was a trick caused by the dim light of the room, he couldnât tell - but definitely not white.
He sipped in a long, filling breath this time, hands laid over his chest and feeling along with the movement. He wanted to touch it. He wanted to dance around, to jump and sing and cheer. To rub his whole body across it, to smoosh his entire face against it, because maybe it wasnât real at all, maybe it was false. Prince didnât want to be dreaming.
Ever so carefully he picked up a hand, watching with innocent fascination as it neared the wall. Then, he hesitated, pulling back and lingering in the air before the two could meet.
What if it crumbled beneath his fingers in an instant? Disappeared the moment he made contact? What if they were simply a trick of his mind, fake and never to be true?
But the woman was real. Heâd heard her speak. The stuffed animal sheâd brought for him, a bright, vibrantly pink teddy bear, sat over his belly, fur tickling him along the rise and fall of his breathing. The toy was real, she was real, and so was the wall.
They had to be.
Carefully, jaw working, he forced himself to press one finger to the wall. No crumbling, no disappearance, no reality warping magic that he could have thought up. Then another, then another, then the rest. The touch was slightly cool, bumps of plaster scratching gently to his skin as he grazed his hand over it in big circles.Â
The blue wall was real.
And he was out.Â
A short gasp slipped through his lips, realization finally dawning, jumping along with the beat of his heart. The contorting churn and quease of his belly was evident, an anxious feeling overflowing, spilling and seeping into each and every crevice.
He wanted to be happy, he really did⌠but was that not enough? What was with the sore in his chest, coiling around, suffocating his lungs and making it hard to breathe?Â
Hm? You want some outside time as a treat for being so good? Is that what I think Iâm hearing, â719?
N- no! Ms., um, Handler Reeves, sir, please, no, no outside, please.
Really? Are you sure? I couldâve sworn you loved the outside⌠always asking about it, always dreaming about it, all that ugly fucking cryingâŚ
Please, Handler Reeves, Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry, no outside, please, Iâll do anything, Iâll be so good just no outside, outside is bad and scary anâ and horr- horrible anâ no outside, please-
Thatâs what I thought, â719.
Prince swallowed, hard, shaking his head of thoughts as the pulse of his heart picked up pace.
No outside for you, Princey, you know that. Donât tell me you forgot your training? Forgot all those things they taught you back at the facility⌠do I really need to send you back?
No, sir, no, of course not. I- I remember.
Good, good. They did wonders for you, did you know that?
Oh, he knew.
Prince slowly shuffled to a sitting position on the edge of the bed, carefully avoiding the mistake of nudging Mutt from his much needed sleep, who was collapsed in a heap on the floor. He mustâve been terribly exhausted to allow himself sleep - Prince couldnât recall how many nights heâd stayed up so far to ensure his safety. Prince then stood, walking around to the drape covered window beside the bed.Â
A window, just like his sirâs, but at the same time not at all. He gently drew the drapes aside, letting the early, faint, cloud concealed light filter over his face. Six oâclock, he guessed, familiar with the look of that time considering heâd woken up then for as long as heâd been with his sir. Except, the new view of a plain, dew dripping, cream colored fence took him off guard, being so used to the look of his sirâs neighborsâ front yards.
He swallowed, sucking in the flesh of the inside of his cheeks and softly gnawing on it, clutching the drapes tight.Â
He was out, he was out, he was out.Â
And he still hadnât been hurt. So when was it coming?
If he looked close enough, focused his eyes in just the right spot, Prince could make out his own reflection in the window. Hair oily and undone, frizzy too, no more maids to get him prepared for his master before he even woke.
There was a cut, small but there, scratched over his upper lip, gradually scabbing over. He licked his tongue over it, feeling for the ridges and bumps and ugliness.
I can hurt you, Princey, any way I want, but I never leave any marks, do I?
Isnât that just generous of me?
Who would want to ruin a gorgeous face like yours?
His gazed dropped, just a smidge, to find there was no lock on the window. He stared, just for a pause in time, debating. Would he? Would he not? Would sir allow it?
Breathing quickening, hand trembling and gradually pressing the latch, he shoved it over to one side, leaving half open. He looked back, as if his sir would jump in at any moment and catch him, yell, and anger, and hurt him-
The foggy, morning air blossomed over his face, a slight chill that worked to wake him further. Letting his eyes flutter to a close he sucked it in greedily, a large breath that filled his lungs with cold.
He smiled, still trained and never meeting the eyes, but a smile nonetheless.
Maybe one day he would be able to smile for real.
Soon enough, as the nerves overwhelmed him and grasped his brain completely, Prince carefully and quietly shut the barrier once again, room filling up with silence.
Crawling back into bed, Prince would wait for his sir to wake, just as he always did, except he wasnât in his sirâs bed or inside the white walls, and there were no maids who dressed him up, and no sir beside him.
With his sir unaccounted, he failed to realize what exactly he was waiting for. He waited, anyway.
stupid idea because Iâve been looking to get a cat: petfinder for pet whumpees. like u can filter to find the ones u want and then you see the perfect little guy and his name is Bartholomewl or some shit and you just haveee to get this one because heâs so perfect but you know itâs gonna be a pain in the ass to train him to respond to a name that isnât fucking bartholomewl. Inspired by this one cat name. amazing.
Whumpee is someone who got the zombie disease, and placed in a facility where other people with it are being kept and "treated."
A few years later after the disease disappears out of the rest of the population, the organisation begins to market the zombie whumpees. "They won't spread the disease. They aren't human, so don't worry about that. They're zombies, they don't think." Which ends up not being true at all. But nobody believes them.
Sales skyrocket around Halloween so people have living undead lawn ornaments, forced to wear muzzles most of the time just in case they bite someone.
Except... the zombie whumpees aren't even actual zombies. They have after effects of having had the disease, sure, but they're just as human as anyone else. They have things like brainfog, loss of smell/taste to various degrees, are possibly anemic and pale, wounds heal a little slower, etc.
The public is skeptical at first, but soon it becomes a social media trend to have a pet zombie. Of course! How cool is it to have something so inhumanly human as a pet!

âID, please.â
Rowan handed over his driverâs license with a smile to the woman behind the counter. Marie, her name tag said, with a smaller typeface beneath that read she/her/hers. A faded cartoon sun sticker was wrapped halfway around the edge of the badge, almost completely covering the familiar WRU logo.
âMr. Bailey,â she said with a soft smile in return, âwelcome to todayâs Opportunity Sale. Is this your first time attending one of WRUâs most special events?â
âNo, Iâve been before.âÂ
It was hard to keep his voice level, especially at first. Heâd been to dozens of these events around the country, and each was proving to be harder on his spirit than the last. The weight of the phone in his shirt pocket, already recording, weighed him down as much as his words.
Opportunity Sale. He loathed the euphemism. It was a liquidation, a fire sale, a last chance for the souls the institution had broken beyond repair. These so-called pets up for sale today were what WRU considered damaged goods, defective products. These are pets who donât live up to WRU standards of excellence, theyâd say, so weâre offering them at a discount, each sold as-is.
The âdefectsâ varied. Some were marred by years of physical abuse, no longer able to perform the tasks they were trained for as their bodies failed. Others had simply lost their minds, slipped into catatonia, a permanent dissociation that rendered them a husk of the person theyâd once been. Sometimes, albeit rarely, there were victims that WRU couldnât fully break and bend to their whims, pets who were marked by attitude and defiance that no typical buyer would tolerate. Some were simply old, the incessant labor and abuse having weakened their bodies, unable to fulfill their purpose with the grace and ease that was expected.
They called it an opportunity, but It was nothing more than a last-ditch effort to recoup the costs that went into each âproduct.â Fully breaking a personâs mind took considerable time and money, and a broken pet sold for pennies on the dollar was still better for WRUâs books than a total loss.Â
Those pets that werenât sold before the close of business would be unceremoniously euthanized before the next sunrise.Â
âIf youâre familiar, then Iâll spare you the usual spiel about how this works,â Marie continued as she ran his ID through the desktop scanner. If she noticed the edge to his voice, she didnât show it. âBut Iâll give you a few reminders, just to refresh your memory. WRU salespersons will be stationed throughout the sales floor, wearing yellow shirts and WRU name tags just like mine. Theyâre available to answer any questions about merchandise or to help close any sales. We also ask that you refrain from live video or photographs for the privacy of our staff.â
âGot it.â Rowan felt the lie sticky on his tongue. The staff present today would be afforded no privacy, not if he could help it. Their atrocities, their complicity in this system, would soon be aired to the growing world of people who cared. Even this interaction at this front desk would be on tape, ready to share with the world in a matter of days.Â
âWonderful,â Marie said as she handed his ID back with a pamphlet tucked beneath it. âYou can find the map of our sales floor in this brochure. Domestic will be in the front right through the double doors, Platonic towards the center, Romantics and all other classifications behind the black curtain on the left. I will say that weâre particularly low on Platonic inventory for this event, so if thatâs what youâre after, Iâd recommend coming back for next monthâs Opportunity Sale. If youâre looking for anything specific, a WRU salesperson would be happy to assist.â
Rowan retrieved his ID and the map out of her hands, and he silently hoped she wouldnât notice his fingers shaking.Â
âGot it, thanks for your help.â
A final smile was all he afforded her before turning to the heavy double doors beyond the entryway.Â
As he stepped closer to the threshold of purgatory, a familiar memory rose from the back of his mind. It always did at these places, the familiar sensation overwhelming him as his subconscious dragged him back nearly fifteen years.
---
âHey, prof, are we there yet?â
Bennyâs familiar voice cut sharp through the otherwise low murmur of conversation on the bus.Â
âBenny, please,â Professor Engelhardt groaned, exasperation obvious in both her face and her voice. âI would appreciate it if all of our volunteers could act their age. Youâll know when we get there, I promise. In the meantime, try and exercise even a modicum of patienceâ
Rowan felt Grey squeeze his knee, and when he looked over the other young man gave him a toothy smile.
âFor once, the loud-mouth has a point,â Grey said as he stifled a giggle.
âI have to agree,â Rowan agreed as he swallowed a laugh of his own. âIt feels like weâve been staring at nothing but cornfields for the last two hours. Where could we possibly be going this far out of the city?â
âProfessor Engelhardt did say it was essential to our training as PLF volunteers, and I know that itâs a requirement for anyone who wants to do investigative work for the PLF. But as far as I know, thereâs no WRU facilities out west of the city like this.â
âYouâd be correct.â
Rowan looked up as his ears burned in embarrassment, the tired professor looking down at both him and Grey from the aisle. She continued, seemingly unaware of the blush that also tinged Greyâs cheeks.Â
âThis is a required journey for all volunteers who are looking to take the next step in their PLF activism. Weâd rather you each know now whether this kind of environment will be too much for a sensitive stomach. And youâre also correct on a second count, Greyson. Weâre not going to any WRU facility, at least not yet. You each have a considerable amount of training ahead of you before you go quite so far.â
By now, Professor Engelhardtâs voice had grabbed the attention of the other volunteers squeezed into the rattling and repurposed school bus. Faces of all ages, from the hopeful university students to the equally tired retirees, were rapt as their chaperone continued. Rowanâs stomach felt like it was doing somersaults as she spoke.
âWeâre going to a cattle slaughterhouse. Itâs time that you all experience for yourselves what itâs like when blood soaks the floor and all you can hear is screaming and heavy machinery. You need to see what happens when a collection of personal choices and systems meant to harm come together to determine whether something lives, or whether it dies. These arenât humans, and they canât speak to you to share their stories, but youâll have plenty of time to see those horrors with your own eyes as you continue as volunteers. For now, letâs get you accustomed to keeping a straight face amidst the suffering and bloodshed. Given some of your aspirations, that shouldn't be much to ask.â
This time, Grey grabbed Rowanâs hand. Rowan gripped it back until his knuckles turned white.
---Â
That same smell followed Rowan now, the acrid stench he first experienced in the slaughterhouse on that humid August day. It was a lingering copper heavy in the air, a whisper of blood among festering wounds and fluids. WRU certainly tried to cover their tracks, make this place seem welcoming and inviting to the public, hide the litany of abuse that propped the system up. But to Rowan, and to anyone who knew better, there was no hiding the stench of ammonia and waste that clung to skin as much as sweat. These were sins that neither Pine Sol nor bleach could cover.
Rowan pushed through the double doors and entered the sales floor. It was showtime.Â
The repurposed warehouse was milling with bodies. There were throngs of buyers meandering between yellow-clad WRU salespeople and black-clad Handlers, some chatting cheerfully while they contemplated buying a living being, others already busying their hands with prodding the âmerchandise.âÂ
Opportunistic buyers hoping to get a pet at a discount came in a few standard flavors. There would be the middle-class families, unable to afford a brand-new pet, but still hoping to score a Domestic that was good enough to help around the house. There were the desperate perverts who were looking to try out a Romantic, see if flesh was better than silicone to get their kicks. And then there were the truly depraved, those hoping that they can find a legal way to torture - and likely murder - a living being without the threat incarceration hanging over their heads.
Rowan was posing as a long-curious buyer who might finally cave and get a Romantic all for himself. He wanted to be charismatic and sure of himself, but prove to be a bit more hesitant when it came to the âmerchandiseâ itself. He was dressed smart, like he had money, but erred towards frugality. This would drum up the sales people, get them to incriminate WRU and its horrors under the guise of a sales pitch, the very thing that would generate sound bytes perfect for the pro liberation materials.Â
He started with the Domestics, he always did. They were typically positioned at the entryway, intentionally so, as both the most in-demand and publicly palatable part of the system. Most families and prospective buyers wouldnât wander past this point of the warehouse, not needing to look any further.Â
A few of the victims were kept in cages, others on long leashes for handlers to parade around. It all depended on the state they were in, how well theyâd be able to sell themselves as much as the salespeople did.Â
âYou look like a busy man,â a woman clad in WRU-issued yellow said with a smile in Rowanâs direction. âWhat do you say about never having to cook for yourself again? What about coming home to clean laundry every day without needing to think about it?âÂ
âThat does sound tempting,â Rowan answered as he slowed to a halt.Â
He looked at the man attached to the saleswomanâs lead, a tall and gangly thing, hunched shoulders with a distant look in his eyes. The defect was readily apparent: he was standing and leaning on a pair of forearm crutches, rather than the expected kneeling, because he was missing most of his left leg.
âThis is one of our best deals of the day,â she continued her pitch with practiced ease, âI can guarantee you that. A flawless all-around Domestic, with great command responsiveness and attentiveness. Itâs perfect for a busy working man or a family with a few kids. Weâve got it marked down today due to an obvious defect with its legs, which means it moves much slower than weâd expect from one of our model Domestics. Likewise, it canât assume many of the expected kneeling positions, and struggles to move from position to position otherwise. This pet requires a patient owner, but the reward for that patience is a model that otherwise works as expected.â
This man would likely live another day. Rowan couldnât see many other physical signs of damage beyond the amputation, and so long as this one ended up with someone who kept up with his medical equipment and any other treatments, heâd likely have many more years of service ahead of him. Maybe heâd even live long enough to see the whole damn system dismantled.
Still, it was Rowanâs job today to get incriminating sound bytes and video, so he pressed back.Â
âI donât like how tall it is,â he said, staring at the man whoâd tower over him if he wasnât slouched over his crutches. âIâd hate someone to think it has any kind of authority or power over me. It would be embarrassing in front of guests.â
âRest assured, this model is fully obedient and appropriately subservient. After nearly a decade of service, there have been zero complaints of defiance or insubordination. Its last owners simply couldnât bear the aesthetics of a Domestic like this. Theyâve left glowing reviews of its service, and had it receive additional training in hand washing and minor repairs of delicate clothes. Really, this is a steal, and itâs more than discounted for the cost of a leg.â
âI understand,â Rowan said. âStill, Iâm not a very tall man, and this one is just too much for me to handle. Your pitch is good, though, Iâm sure youâll have someone take it off your hands.â
âOf course, we want to make sure that each customer gets a pet thatâs best suited for their needs, even if it is at an Opportunity Sale like this. If youâre interested in a shorter Domestic designation, weâve got one over there with my colleague Dominic.â She pointed to the far end of the Domestic zone, to a tall man in yellow with a pet in a cage beside him. Rowan swallowed disgust once more.
âIâll go check it out, thanks.â
And he did. He walked slowly, moving deliberately from side to side so his camera captured everything. This included the sight of a Platonic falling to their knees as an electric collar went off around their neck. The would-be purchaser gave a lecherous smile and ran her hand through the panting petâs hair once the crackle of electricity faded. There would be no fairy tale ending for that unfortunate soul.Â
âI saw my colleague Debbie point you over here,â the WRU employee said as Rowan came within earshot of the cage tied to the warehouse floor. âDo you mind if I give you the sales pitch while you look the merchandise over?â
âWell, the fact youâve got this one in a crate while the others are out and about isnât promising,â Rowan tried to lament as he gazed through the bars of the cage. Â
âAh, but thatâs part of the story.â Already the salesman was working to weave a tale, and it was one Rowan would listen to with well-practiced feigned interest. The man gestured at the crate with an expression of false sorrow before he continued.Â
âThis one isnât in a crate because itâs a danger to you. No, itâs a danger to itself, and only then because itâs so stricken by grief. You see, this pet is from our very first Domestic-Care line of products, the latest from WRU in home-care solutions. Its extended training made it perfect for older buyers looking to have a Domestic with a bit of extra training in handling low-complexity medical equipment like wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, stair lifts, and more. It was paired with a loving owner, carried out its tasks dutifully, and went years with a perfect record. All check-ins from WRU were met with glowing reviews.Â
âGiven the opportunity, it follows routines to a degree of meticulousness few of our pets have a predisposition for. Genuinely, this pet has always been one-of-a-kind. However, its owner passed away from circumstances entirely beyond this petâs control. It went out of its mind with grief, and no matter how many new homes weâve placed it in, and no matter the attempts weâve made to re-train it, it escapes and runs right back to its old masterâs home.âÂ
Even now, Rowan could see the pet searching for the door, their eyes following the flow of people in and out of the sales room. The human feelings were there. They always had been, and Rowan could all but feel the grief himself. That panicked searching for a way out, that desire to run into the arms to the person that this human felt they belonged to. A desperation for a door to an old life, a familiar voice, an expected touch. Grief as manifest through complete brainwashed devotion.Â
Rowan knew better by now than to let his emotions seep through onto his face. Â
âSo, itâs a runaway risk. A certain runaway, in fact.âÂ
âI wouldnât say anything with certainty,â the employee said with a nerve-tinged laugh. âIn fact, the reason this particular model is on the floor today is with the hopes it connects with someone as deeply as it connected with its first owner. Thereâs no guarantee of that, we know, but itâs worth the shot. Weâre hoping the right person will come along today and help them find peace. In the meantime, weâd recommend a home outfitted with windows that lock, and doors that are equipped with biometric verification that the pet canât bypass.âÂ
The only peace this pet would find would be its death later this evening. No one in their right mind would take a runaway, not a casual purchaser, and not even a liberation group. The risk of a successful escape was just far too great.
The pet wouldnât meet Rowanâs eyes even now, as it returned hunting, searching for the familiar face it was expecting. A face that would never come. There was no solace in knowing that soon, for the faithful at least, pet and owner would be reunited.Â
âUnfortunately, Iâm not equipped to handle a runaway,â Rowan said as he looked up from the crate with a sigh. âHonestly, I feel like these Domestics have just sidetracked me. I was here to look at the Romantics, really.âÂ
âThen youâll want to head right behind that curtain over there,â the man said with a gesture to the tall velvet curtains that cordoned off nearly a third of the warehouse. âThere are plenty of additional WRU employees there to help you find a model thatâs suitable to your needs.âÂ
With a nod, Rowan turned to walk towards the curtains. He lingered for a moment, just long enough to stick his fingers through the bars of the cage at his side, a chance to let the pet seek out comfort if they wanted. No touch came, and Rowan walked away with a familiar pang in his heart. He knew by now that he was never going to save them all, not yet, but it didnât ease the pain.Â
Another flash of his ID was all it took to get him through the foreboding curtains. WRU absolutely didnât want families and reporters seeing this side of the system, after all. The Romantics division might have been the second best-selling of all the WRU models, but it was also the most secretive. There was good reason for that.Â
As soon as Rowan passed the threshold he was hit with the thick aroma of sex and fear. There was a more sinister atmosphere in the rooms that existed behind the curtain, air heavy with that adrenaline-twinged sweat of broken pets who were fighting for their lives, some being used live for demonstrations on the sales floor. Even after all this time, Rowanâs stomach wasnât quite accustomed to it.Â
He kept his chest forward and shoulders out. That was the best way for his camera to capture the sights and the sounds, because after all, that was the reason he was here. He wasnât here to save these victims, as much as he wished that was the case. He was here in the hopes that their suffering would give those that came after them a fighting chance, that airing these atrocities to the world would bring the system to its knees one day.
The first sight that drew his attention was a man cinched to a table, an unusual arrangement for even the most âdefectiveâ Romantics. There were already two potential buyers there, hands on the naked pet, touching his body and fondling his genitals. The pet was unflinching, his chest rising and falling steadily, lips giving out soft sighs and moans in a practiced rhythm.Â
âI didnât expect this one to be so popular,â the WRU employee said with feigned exclamation as Rowan meandered over. âBut young man, you certainly have good taste. This model is one many once would have believed was unsalable, but here, at the Opportunity Sale, itâs being given a second chance. Not only that, but itâs proving to be the center of attention.âÂ
âWhatâs wrong with it?â Rowan asked bluntly, still surveying the scene. Something had to be wrong, and even his own seasoned eyes hadnât figured it out yet. The petâs gaze was unfocused, its body still, just as a Romantic was trained to be unless given the command to engage.Â
âAnother tragedy, Iâm afraid.â The salesperson didnât sound saddened at all. âThere was an incident during its training that left it paralyzed from the mid-back down. This means that, as a Romantic, its functions are limited. It canât sustain an erection anymore, and it canât engage in certain types of play. However, it's still just as tight as our standard buyers would expect, and its mouth is an absolute dream. Youâd be responsible for the additional care costs of a paralyzed pet, but for someone with limited sexual needs of their own, this model will more than fulfill.âÂ
At least once each Opportunity Sale, Rowan swore to himself that this was finally the time he was going to be sick on the job. Heâd see something so horrific that there was no answer except to choke up bile and spit there on the sales floor. Heâd likely out himself as a PLF agent in that same breath - after all, who else would be so concerned about the well being of pets? - but it almost didnât matter. These horrors were too much to witness, much less bear as the victim was bearing them now.Â
He swallowed the lump in his throat. At least that sales pitch would make a great sound byte for the pet liberation materials.Â
âUh, yeah, thatâs not what Iâm looking for. Iâd definitely want one thatâs younger and, uh, more mobile.â
âUnderstandable,â the salesperson said with a nod. âThere are plenty of other options here today that might suit your fancy. Feel free to keep browsing, and as always, youâre welcome to ask a WRU employee for any assistance or further direction.â
âThanks.â
And Rowan did keep browsing. He browsed carefully, angling his chest to capture all of the angles he could, kneeling down to âinspectâ pets that were sprawled naked on the floor. The path he took around the Romantics section was methodical. The disabled pets, the catatonic pets, the ones with abuse written on their skin, Rowan tried to capture them all. When he could he gave their hands what he hoped was a squeeze of comfort - possibly the last theyâd receive in their too-short lives.Â
He was nearly to the back corner, at which point heâd loop around to the front and make a graceful exit, when he saw another Romantic in a crate.
Unlike all the others, this one made Rowan stop in his tracks.
The man in the crate was young, possibly ten or so years younger than Rowan himself. He had a thick hair of black curls and he was looking through the bars of the crate with searching, hopeful eyes. It was almost like he was waiting for something, someone, to notice him. Most of the pets here were defeated, on their last chance at redemption, already chewed up and spit out. Their spirits had been dampened. Somehow, some way, this one was still fighting.Â
It was like a thread in his chest pulled Rowan up to the crate. His feet were moving without him commanding them, unlike anything heâd experienced at a sale like this before. He was caught up in something special, something different, about this victim.Â
âYou have a good eye,â the saleswoman said with a warm smile. âThis is possibly one of the best deals we have on the floor today, so long as youâre willing to be a little patient.â
âWhatâs wrong with this one?â Rowan asked, unable to tear his eyes away from the boy kneeling almost eagerly behind the bars.Â
âLet me start off by saying that this pet is in great physical condition. Not only is it one of the youngest we have here today, it has passed almost all of our physical examinations with flying colors. Its strength, speed, and tactile abilities are within or exceeding our typical parameters. Not only that, but this particular pet has something that is typically reserved for only our most exclusive customers: it has dual training, and is classified as both a Romantic and a Domestic.âÂ
âThatâs not something you typically see at an Opportunity Sale, I suppose,â Rowan pretended to muse. He already knew that what she had said was the truth. Dual-classification pets took many more months of training than single-classification, and it often showed in both the abuses and expenses associated with keeping one. A Dual-classification pet could easily cost as much as a down payment on a house.Â
âExactly why this is such a great opportunity,â the saleswoman beamed. âAs a Domestic, it even has specialty training in French cuisine. Youâll be eating like royalty every night if you so please. As a Romantic, its skills and abilities are considered quite standard, with experience in training for light bondage.âÂ
âSo, why arenât you telling me whatâs wrong with it?âÂ
A sigh. Dramatic, almost despairing. It was an act of practiced sympathy that soured Rowanâs stomach even further.Â
âUnfortunately, this one seems incredibly selective with the orders it follows, if it follows them at all. No amount of effort from our most experienced WRU handlers have been able to adequately refurbish it. As I said, its behaviors and capabilities are within or exceeding WRU standards, and it certainly seems eager to please its keepers, but I can make no promises on its compliance with specific commands.â
The boy looked up at Rowan for just a moment before turning his gaze back down. From that brief glance, Rowan wouldnât have put him a day over twenty-five. But God, he just looked so lost. He didnât seem lost in the way that many others at the sale today did, that catatonic, too-far-gone glaze over their eyes, the will to live entirely sapped out of them. Instead, it looked like this boy was hunting for something, someone who would notice him, give him attention in return.
Rowan couldnât help himself. He saw it as a sign that this victim wanted to live, wanted to make it off this floor alive, wanted to connect with any human being that came by and could give him a chance. It was a spark, and against his better judgment, Rowan hoped that he could one day stoke it into a fire.Â
âHow much?âÂ
The words left his mouth before he was able to swallow them down. His heart began to race almost instantly: this wasnât the plan, it was never the plan. He was supposed to get in, take some footage, and get out. He wasnât trained for anything else. He wasnât prepared to engage in rescue activities, especially not like this.Â
Yet Rowan had never known anything with a certainty such as this: he could not leave here without saving this boy.Â
âWow, youâre won over already?â The saleswomanâs voice was light, but she was already pulling out a clipboard with a stack of paperwork on it. âI havenât even given you all of its physical details yet. You canât see quite how tall it is in the crate, can you? Here, let me get you its height, weight, vaccine record, some of its other statistics-âÂ
âIt doesnât matter,â Rowan managed, almost breathless from the sudden influx of stress. âI want this one. How much?âÂ
âBecause itâs lacking in one of the most essential features of a WRU product, the ability to listen to owner commands, itâs offered at a significant discount. This one is seven thousand and five hundred dollars before tax, and the seven percent state and local sales tax will be applied at checkout. We also have optional add-ons, like the pet care package that insures all well-being visits, vaccines, and dental care at any WRU-sponsored pet clinics, as well as training class vouchers to impart additional skills.âÂ
Rowan had already retrieved his wallet from his pocket, fingers trembling as he pulled out his ID and method of payment. That was a lot of money, yes, but who was he to put a price on a life? His car could hang on another few years, probably. Maybe. It was just money, heâd be fine.Â
âIâll take the base package. I donât need anything else.âÂ
The rest of the sales floor became distant, dull, and Rowan took the pen into his hand as the saleswoman shoved a pile of paperwork in his direction. Tomorrow morning, she said, this boy would be delivered to his front door. Initial on this line, sign here, whatâs todayâs date? It was a blur and Rowan was hardly aware of what his own hands were doing.Â
He couldnât hear her over the thundering of blood in his ears, and the rush of adrenaline made it hard to steady the pen in his hand. He penned his signature on the final line and the saleswoman congratulated him with words he could hardly make out. It didnât feel real, like he was walking through a dream.Â
Rowan was going to be a pet owner.Â

The din of conversation in the massive room almost overcame the incessant ringing in the petâs ears. Not much was capable of drowning it out these days, not since it had become so loud. It never stopped, anymore.Â
It couldnât hear the words that were exchanged all around it, those busy groups of people moving back and forth, their legs passing its crate by without stopping. It had a hard time hearing words, no matter how hard it tried, and whether it was somewhere busy like this or otherwise. It wanted to be good, it wanted to listen, it wanted to make its master and its handlers pleased. But the pet couldnât do that anymore, and deep in its gut, it knew thatâs why it was here today. It was here with all the other pets that were broken, that were missing things, that cried when they were brought into the room this morning. Those pets were bad, and the handlers had no trouble saying as much.
The pet wanted to believe it wasnât like those broken pets. That it would go back to Master, or have a new master, and be able to please them like a good pet should. But for that to happen it had to be on its best behavior. Handler Green had said so, that the pet would be thrown out if it didnât try its very best to listen and be good. Handler Green had shouted this over and over, as though the pet was being disobedient just by existing, rather than unable to hear him. It didnât want to be disobedient, and it wished that the handlers didnât have to repeat themselves so much. It wished it could hear right, like the other pets were able to.
A pair of legs stopped beside the crate, toes pointed towards the yellow-shirt woman that wasnât a handler, but the pet was told to behave for nonetheless. The pet looked up, eager to see who might be interested, perhaps someone who wanted it. The manâs eyes met the petâs, and it quickly averted its gaze back towards the ground, cheeks burning. It was a novice mistake to make eye contact with a person like that. If it didnât get itself under control, remember its training and very best manners, the pet knew that it was destined to fail.Â
Maybe it was a broken pet after all. It certainly had the bruises and scarring from seemingly endless corrections by handlers, anyway.Â
Those legs finally walked away and a blanket was thrown over the top of the petâs crate. It yelped in spite of itself as the darkness descended. Did this mean that it had failed? Was that single glance enough to seal its fate, destined it to never have another Master to serve, no second chance to prove itself? Was this the end - alone, in the dark, unable to hear anything but the shrill ringing that had become its only companion?Â
I want to be good, it thought to itself, tears splashing down from its watering eyes to its knees. Its fists balled up, hands shaking from the sadness and the longing. I just want to be good.

A Caretaker adopting a pet Whumpee from a shelter out of pity. Whumpeeâs been abused. Maybe they canât, or wonât speak, so their pain is a mystery, but it shows in their empty eyes, maimed form, scars running criss-cross all over.
Maybe Whumpeeâs on the older side. Maybe theyâre not conventionally attractive. Theyâve been abandoned by the world, theyâve been at the shelter for years, and theyâre slowly succumbing. Dying.
Caretaker never agreed with this âhuman petâ business. They find it despicable, and wouldnât support it. But⌠that wretched husk, so rigorously broken down, brings tears to their eyes. And they canât bare the thought of somebody dying alone in this unfeeling, underfunded shit hole.
So, Caretaker makes the choice to give them the kindest few weeks of their life.
Gonna throw this into the voids of tumblr before taking a nap and then typing a lot of my writing that's been on hold for days.
Got an itch with a new story. Basically, minimal spoilers: Male whumper has a female captive whumpee trapped in his attic/secret room. Whumper's new wife (caretaker+doll whumpee) is bonded to this captive whumpee and eventually finds her. Bonded in this case could be like BBU whump or my (until further notice) hiatused TNEI series. Aka, emotionally bonded/physically bonded where they feel what the other feels. He controls/manipulates doll/wife whumpee with captive whumpee without her realizing why or how. Anyway, stuck on if secret captive should be non-human or not.
which one
nonhuman whumpee
human whumpee

If nonhuman, she'd have a tail and would either be monkey or lemur ish. Haven't decided. I just know that she'd have a tail like a mammal, not a reptile. If human, I'd tie it in with my BBU-verse stories.
I really wanted to make a 2 female whumpee and 1 male whumper story and this idea has been bugging me for a few days.
[Edit: Adding more context onto this: if nonhuman, I wouldn't connect it to my TNEI stuff, I'd go with a new and different lore/worldbuild. Not that I don't like what I have for TNEI, but I just don't want to be in that world right now.]
*If interested in this, I now have the Masterlist up! Apologies to anyone who wanted the human version, but I may end up writing both eventually, so we'll see what happens.*

Ratty was hurled into the jail cell, landing hard on their shoulder. They rolled onto their stomach, catching themself with their hands to stop themself from hitting the wall. Their exposed knees skinned against the floor.
They came to a brief halt in front of the other prisoners. Nine or so others.
A few of them gasped, and when Ratty looked up, they saw the majority of the prisoners pressing themselves against the walls and corners of the cell. Only after the guard closed the door did any of them approach Ratty. One person offered a tentative hand to help Ratty up.
Taking it, Ratty got up shakily to stand on their feet. It took them an instant to memorize the room. Mostly because there was nothing to really look at. Three white walls, and one wall with bars and door like a jail cell, a toilet, plus a drain in the floor, and a camera in the top corner.
Scanning everyone's faces, they spotted the smallest prisoner there, huddled in anotherâs arms. Rattyâs heart clenched but there was nothing they could do while inside the walls without weapons, backup, or barely any clothesâŚ
They examined themself next, checking for any immobilizing injuries. They knew full well that their adrenaline was hiding most of the pain. Nothing seemed broken as far as they could tell while they smoothed a hand over their arms, legs, and middle. They just had deep bruising and some bleeding from being thrown around.
âIs anyone here injured?â They asked.
Most of the prisoners shook their heads swiftly, fear stopping the majority of them from talking.
Ratty was about to ask how many here were mind wiped, but the doors opened at that moment. Two guards came in, one with a gun and moved the gun across the room, pointing it at everyone there to make them back up. Including Ratty, who watched where the guard was going.
âGrab the little oneâ The one with the gun instructed.
Rattyâs blood ran cold as they watched the guard go to yank the smallest prisoner from the otherâs arms. They calculated the possibilities of grabbing the guards gun, but it was too risky with this many bodies in the room. Someone was bound to be shot, even if Ratty grabbed the gun in a second. A second is all that it took to pull the trigger.
If they made a scene now they would ruin any potential possibilities of catching the guards by surprise and having a real chance to escape, or at least do irreversible damage to some of them.
It took everything in Ratty not to intervene as they watched the guard yank the little one by the arm. He kicked the person trying to hold onto them and Ratty almost saw red. Their fingers twitched, and they had to force a deep breath in instead of jumping on the guard to break his arm in two.
They envisioned it, to stop it from becoming reality: The guard's arm snapping under their knee, the crack of bone against their skin, the way the guard would fall to the ground screaming in agony.
Except it wasnât the guard screaming. It was the kid. It made Ratty sick to their stomach. They bit their lip hard to focus, digging their nails into their palms. The door was closed in an instant and everyone was left there listening to the heart wrenching sobs of the person who had been left behind.
