By the second decade of the twenty-second century, after the Time of the Great Poisoning during which within one month, the human population of the earth fell to approximately five hundred and fifty million and when this fledgling, utopian society found itself on the verge of a third industrial and technological revolution, sections of English society ran itself on very different rules, classifying its citizens as either inferior or superior. Supporters called it Natural Law, although those who fought against it called the fledgling legislation by a far older name - slavery. It took ten years to safely dispose of the dead, and another twelve for any form of order to be re-established.
At Wendsley manor, an eighteenth century model farm in all but name, two wealthy twin sisters, Lucy and Charlotte Davonport, both spinsters and approaching middle-age, act out these new explicit regulations.
Love is vulnerability. Love screams. Unrequited love destroys. In all its forms, to love is painful. We serve the one we love. We become its slave. Paul was one such slave.
