Master Taino,

 my name is slave david and i am a 40 year old former slave.

i still don’t know how to think of myself in any other terms. If i may be permitted to explain.  i was collared on April 16, 1984 when I was 19 years old and became the 24/7 captive, live in house slave property of Master E.M of Kansas City, MO where i was his slave for 20 years until he released me from his service on November 11, 2004.

Since then i have been a free individual. The problem with that is that i don’t feel like a “free individual”. For the past eight months, i have not been “living”; I have been simply going through the motions of living. At my sister’s urging, i moved to the Tampa area to live with her in the attempt to learn how to live as an individual. Needless to say, it isn’t working. The best way that i can describe what i am going through is to compare myself to a car that nobody ever uses. It isn’t doing what it was meant to do and is just wasting space.

My sister has been trying to help me cope with becoming a person, and i have been seeing a therapist for the past six months in an attempt to acclimate myself into society, but Iidon’t see any difference in how I feel. All that has been accomplished is that i am learning how to present the illusion of being an individual.

The point is that i am a slave. i know this. i knew it before i ever knew what it was. i haven’t been happy these past months but more importantly, i feel like i am not serving my purpose, that i am useless. Although i have not ever considered taking my own life, i am completely depressed.  i need to be owned to be able to live.  i know that just like i know that i need air to breathe to be able to live. To me there is no difference. Right now i am just useless, taking up space.

i know that I must be property to be alive.  my problem is that i just can’t bring myself to actively go out and look for a Master. i do not believe that it is a slave’s place to look for a Master. To me it is simply disrespectful and is almost like a slave making demands of his Master.

But i have brought myself to the realization that i simply can’t continue like this and I have to do something about it so this is why i am writing this letter to You Sir. A friend i met who i have spoken to about my situation gave me your website address and suggested that i contact You.  i have to tell you that he gave it to me over a month ago. i have been to your website almost every day since and have read every page in detail. It has just taken me this long to gather the courage to finally contact you in person.  i have to admit that i feel like i  am doing something wrong, like I am being disrespectful to you. If that is the case, then i truly beg your forgiveness and i will not bother you again.

With that said, then i would like to inform you that i am a former experienced 24/7 house slave property who is in need of a Master to serve, and i would be honored if you were to consider me as an applicant for your 24/7 slave houseboy. i am sending the picture of my face and bare chest as you have required.   i await your further instruction and/or orders.

Respectfully,

slave david
