Episode CMXXI – The Auction of Prisoners

Those of us who were captured were put up at auction with the highest prices fetched by those who might give pleasure, either of a gustatory nature or in some other manner of the flesh, dependent upon the predilections and tastes of the men and women who paid for them. For our captors, unlike us were not interested in saving souls but in earthly delights of the most vivid sort. (From “The Voyage of Discoveries” © mmg 2007)
