Freddy was extrememly nervous as he walked down the stairs into the basement. He had never been involved in anything like this before. In his 30 years of life, he had never even known that people actually did this sort of thing.
"Oh hello." said the Barron, from the computer. On one wall of the basement floor sat a computer desk with a computer, scanner, and printer. The man, who appeared to be in his late twenties, stood up to greet Freddy. He had dark hair about to the middle of his face, and he was tall and rather lanky. He wore a wife beater and shorts.
"Hi." said Freddy, shaking hands with him. "Did my wife Marne let you in?"
"Yes." said Freddy. "She said she'd be down in a sec-"
"Sorry." said the busty, dark haired women as she bounded down the stairs. She was wearing a baggy black tee shirt and a pair of the Barron's boxer shorts. "The others just got here. They'll be glad to meet you Freddy." Two more people came down the stairs and into the room. A man, who appeared to be a little older than Freddy, and a woman, who had crystal blue eyes and blonde hair.
"Hi!" said the man, shaking hands with him. "You must be Freddy huh?"
"That's me." said Freddy, smiling weakly.
"I'm Greg, and this is Krystle." he said. Krystle smiled. "I see you've met the Barron."
"Yup." said the Barron. "I'm just finishing up here."
"What are you doing?" asked Freddy.
"Oh, just adding a few more pics to our website." said the Barron. "Wanna see our first video?" He went to the video page and clicked on VIDEO NUMBER ONE. The video began rolling. It showed Marne, strapped to the wall in a cruicified position. The Barron stood in front of her, tickling her ribs and armpits. Marne was screaming with hysterical laughter, her head thrashing back and forth madly.
"This was the Barron and I's first tickling session." said Marne. "When we started the Tickle Hell Society three years ago, we were the only members."
Earlier that day, Freddy had met Marne in the supermarket, and they had began talking. Somehow, she had talked him into joining them at their meeting that afternoon.
"It's our life now." said the Barron. "I spend most of my time down here. I make money with the website. We usually tape all of our sessions, during the meetings anyway, but Marne and I like to spend a lot of our free time down here too."
"Well." said Greg. "I guess we should get started."
"Freddy, are you ready?" said the Barron. He got out the camera.
"Oh God." said Freddy, almost backing out. "If I make it though this alive, then I'm a member right?"
"For life." said Krystle. "We all went through the initiation before we could participate in the games and stuff."
"I'm so ticklish." said Freddy, shuddering. "I'm afraid."
"It's all right. We ALL are ticklish." said Marne. "It's what we're all about."
"Okay." said Freddy, his voice pinched. "What do I do first?"
"Lay down on the bed." said Greg. "I'm gonna be doing the tickling today." Freddy walked across the room and lay down on the big bed. There were strapps on each of the bed posts, one for each wrist, and one for each ankle.
"Freddy, it's important that you be honest with us now okay?" said Marne, as she strapped him in. "Where are you the most ticklish?"
"Mm-m-my..f-f-eet." Freddy stuttered. Marne nodded.
"Okay." she said. The Barron quickly got out the camera and took a few pictures of Freddy tied down to the bed. Greg began undoing the laces on Freddy's shoes. Freddy swallowed nervously. Sweat balled on his forehead.
"Just a second." said Greg. He pulled off Freddy's shoes and then took off his socks. Marne smiled when she saw his bare feet. They were big, and his toes looked long and slender. The Barron moved the camera close to Freddy's face so he could get a picture of his expression when the tickling began.
"Here we go." said Greg. He very gently began to scrape his fingernails up and now the sole of Freddy's foot. The tickling feeling began to spread up through Freddy's legs. He bit his lower lip to keep from laughing. His eyes were squeezed shut.
"You're gonna laugh soon anyway." said Krystle. "Might as well not try to resist." Greg grinned and began spider-tickling the bottoms of Freddy's feet. Freddy's eyes widened and he could no longer contain himself. It tickled too much.
"Hhooooaaaaa!" he whooped. "Ha hah ahhahahaha! Ahhhh hehe no! No no! Hahaha!" He squeezed his eyes shut and thrashed his head back and forth, laughing.
"Yes yes." said Greg, as his fingers danced across the soles of Freddy's feet. Freddy moaned with laughter.
"No!" laughed Freddy. "I-hahaha-I'm dying! Hahaha! It-hahahahehehehe! It tickles to much! Hahahaha! Hehehehehahahahahahahahahahaha!" Freddy began bucking like crazy, desparately trying to escape the tickling torture at his toes. But it was no use. He was strapped in firmly. He fell limp on the bed, shaking with laughter. Greg dug his fingers into the bottoms of Freddy's feet. Freddy was laughing so hard not a sound came out of him. Tears were running down his cheeks. Freddy had never felt anything tickle so much in his entire life.
"Please!" laughed Freddy. "I-hahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Greg ignored him and continued the tickling, concentrating especially on the spots right underneath his toes, where it seemed to make him howl. Freddy would gasp out pleads for it to stop, between uncontrollable peals of hysterical laughter, but Greg simply ignored him and continued the tickling. Finally, Freddy laughed so hard he passed out.
When Freddy awoke he was free from his bondings. He was laying on the couch, across the room. Before he even opened his eyes, he heard a high pitch, whistling laughter. When he did open his eyes, he saw Krystle laying on the floor, being gang-tickled by the other members. She was laughing madly and rolling around. When the Barron noticed Freddy was awake, they stopped tickling her.
"You're up!" he said. "You passed out from laughing. It's okay, it happened to Krystle too." She smiled and nodded.
"So..what do you think?" asked Krystle. "Are you gonna join us Freddy?" Freddy thought for a moment.
"In my entire life, I have never felt torture that immense.." he said. Then he smiled. "But I have never had such an intensely wonderful expierience either. I'm in!" Everyone applauded, and Freddy smiled, knowing that there would be plenty more tickling expieriences coming his way soon enough.
THE END
