"Let me help you" he said in a gentle voice, as he helped me sit up. "Are you hurt?" he asked, looking me over.
"I don't think so, Sir" I spluttered, "Thank you."
"Do you have a name?" he enquired.
"Miriam, Sir, before I was enslaved, then I was called Cocksucker."
"That's all behind you now, girl. I'll get you to a warm, dry place."
He tore the pieces of wood from the shackles, and walked me slowly up a track away from the beach. We found some cloth which he wrapped round me, which helped to warm me up. We walked for about half an hour, nice and gentle, and he gently asked about my life story, how I was captured, made a slave, and sold to the galley. He asked how much money I sold for, but I didn't know.
There were some buildings up ahead. "You'll be safe fron the seamen here" he said, as we walked round the buildings and saw a hole in the hillside. "Caleb" he shouted, "she's got shackles on, get the blacksmith please."
We went into this hot workshop, one similar to when my shackles were put on. The smith smiled at me, and said "Best look away, this might hurt a bit." There was some hammering, and the smith said "All done."
I turned to thank him and tripped over the chains linking my ankles. "Welcome to No Hope Mine, Cocksucker."
At first I read that line as: "you'll be safe from semen here".
Nice continuation. Is there more?
