I am a self-taught programming guru, specialising in computer games. I chose and then pursued this profession diligently in order to make enough money to set up an island of voluntary slaves as this had quickly become a fetish of mine as I passed through puberty and beyond. No-one knew of this, not even my parents or best friend but it only took half a dozen years and I had made enough to go looking for my island.

As to the slaves, well that was a little more difficult. I had to somehow find young men and women who were closet masochists looking for fixed-term slavery that was going to be very real. I was very surprised and rather shocked at the number of those who wanted to apply.
