The Socks
Chapter 3
After consulting with her superiors at the Asylum, Nurse Lydia was instructed to allow Elizabeth and Katie return temporarily to the sorority house. They would continue to receive treatment, but they would also help encourage of the sorority to seek out mental health evaluations. Both of them now understood that untreated stress was a risk to all students and that it could only be treated with proper medication and conditioning. Both girls were almost in tears when Nurse Lydia told them that it was not yet time for them to be transferred to the Asylum. They also understood that obedience was essential. “None of that,” Nurse Lydia said in a firm tone, “I know how disappointed you both are, but we know what is best for you.”
“Yes, Ma’am,” the girls said.
“What should we do when we go back to the house?”
“You will need to help the other girls in your sorority understand how at risk they are from stress and how beneficial it would be for each of them to undergo a full examination as both of you have done. With your help, we may be able to help some of them.” Both Elizabeth and Katie knew how serious this was and they would do their best to help their sisters.
As Mindy sat quietly in the back of the vehicle, it headed toward her new home at the Asylum. Her mind was quiet and she knew that she would be well cared for. Indeed, she felt lucky that her condition had been discovered and that she had begun her much needed treatment. About 15 minutes later, the vehicle pulled up to the gates of the Rosewood Asylum. Orderly Martin inserted a card into the reader and the gates opened slowly. On the gate was a sign that read: “Patients of Rosewood Asylum are considered to be severely mentally ill. No with patients is allowed except by permission of the ”. For the first time, Mindy felt a sense of fear. She knew that she had been suffering from stress, but was that a severe mental illness? Once inside, would she be allowed with her friends or family? She started to ask Orderly Martin, but but stopped knowing that it was not her place to question him. The vehicle pulled up to one of the buildings, where a nurse was waiting with a wheelchair.
“This is Patient 5629. These are her commitment papers.” Orderly Martin said handing the nurse an envelope. The nurse smiled.
“Thank you, has she been medicated?”
“She had her medicine two hours ago, but she is due for her next dosage.”
“Very good. I will get her settled into her room.” The nurse helped Mindy into the wheelchair and pushed her into the building. It was a large building with white tile and white floors. Mindy could see other patients begin escorted. “This will be your new home 5629. I know you will enjoy your time here.” As soon as the nurse said it, Mindy could feel pleasure radiating from her socks. It felt so good. They turned down a hallway lined with patient rooms. She pushed Mindy into the last room on the left. The room had two beds. The other one was occupied by a woman in her early 30’s. For some reason, her hair had been cut to a very short crew cut. “This is 4967, she has been with us for almost a month.” Mindy gave her a smile. “Why don’t you two get acquainted while I get your medicine.”
“I’m 5629,” Mindy said in a weak voice.
“Hi, I’m 4967. You are my third roommate since I came.”
“What happened to the others?” Mindy asked.
“I think they are still here, but they all had their minds cleansed. It’s kind of scary, but I have not…..” 4967’s voice trailed off as the nurse returned with a tray and a syringe. She dabbed Mindy’s arm. “This will help make you sleepy. The doctor wants to see if you are a candidate for mind cleansing.” Within seconds, Mindy could feel her body relax and all she wanted was to sleep. The nurse placed headphones over her ears and she drifted off to sleep. When she awoke, 4967 was gone. Her bed was neatly made. It was as if she had never been there. When the nurse returned to check on Mindy, she asked.
“Where is 4967?” The nurse smiled.
“She was approved for mind cleansing. She is having her treatment right now. She will feel much better when it is done.” The nurse’s tone gave Mindy a chill. She knew that, as a patient, she needed to obey, but her short conversation with 4967 left her with concerns. She also wondered if she would be able to get visits from the sisters of Gamma Nu Pi.
“Will she be coming back here?” Mindy asked meekly. The nurse smiled.
“No, she will be reassigned to the Mind Cleansing ward until her treatments are complete. Besides, she won’t you anyway. Mind cleansing strips away memories that create stress in patients. We want you to be as stress-free as possible. There is no reason for you to think about anything. All of our patients enjoy mind cleansing. Why don’t we take a little tour around so that you can see your new home.” Mindy climbed into the wheelchair and Nurse Rachael pushed her up the hall. Along the way, they ed other patients dressed in uniforms identical to the one Mindy was now wearing. Each and everyone of them was accompanied by a nurse or an orderly and each wore a tight latex cap. Most of them had vacant expressions as if they were completely mindless. As they progressed down the main hallway, they came to a room with a large picture window. The sign next to the door read “Mind Cleansing”. Inside the room, Mindy saw a large piece of equipment that consisted of a padded chair and a large sphere suspended over it on a track. Seated next to the padded chair were two female patients. Both patients had latex caps over their heads. An orderly helped one of the patients into the padded chair and one of the nurses secured her with Velcro straps.
“What is happening?” Nurse Rachael smiled.
“It is her first session of Mind Cleansing. In a few minutes, all of the stress and anxiety she has felt over the years will be removed from her mind leaving space for pleasure and obedience.” Mindy watched as the sphere lowered on the track and soon covered the patients head. It began to hum. Three red lights on the sphere began to blink. “When those red lights turn green, her first session will be complete.”
“Does it hurt?” Nurse Rachael smiled.
“Yes, some, but it’s a very important step in helping you to recover. Sometimes a little pain is a good thing.” Mindy watched as the patient appeared to struggle against the straps holding her body. Soon, however, her body became still as if she had given up the struggle.
“Am I going to have Mind Cleansing?”
“Very likely, if your doctor approves it. The evaluation process takes a few days as it did for 4967.” Something in the back on Mindy’s mind told her that even though she felt pleasure being in the Asylum, she needed to do everything she could to get out and to warn others. Nurse Rachael continued her tour and returned her to her room. Mindy was provided with a bowl of warm protein mush for her dinner. The mush had little taste, but her stomach was empty and she ate it gratefully. She began to feel sleepy again and the nurse helped her change into her nightie. She also gave her a pair of fresh socks, which immediately flooded her mind and body with pleasure.
“Oh god, they feel so good.” Nurse Rachael smiled.
“It’s time for bed sweetie. Sleep tight.” She helped Mindy under the covers. Because Mindy’s watch and phone had been confiscated, she had no sense of time, but she knew that obeying Nurse Rachael was important. The Asylum had a strict bedtime of 7:30pm for all patients. Despite having had naps, Mindy fell into a deep sleep. Before leaving, Nurse Rachael placed a pair of earbuds in her ears to continuing her conditioning.
Shortly after 8:00pm, the sisters of Gamma Nu Pi gathered in the meeting room of the sorority house. Although some of the sisters were missing by permission due to evening classes, the majority were there including of the new pledge class. Elizabeth and Katie made their way to the front of the room and called the meeting to order. They were both wearing their socks and still feeling a bit disoriented from their initial session of treatment.
“Sisters, welcome to monthly meeting of the Rho Chapter. I would like to report that both Katie and I just returned from Mindy Lawson’s apartment and are happy to report that she is doing just fine. We were a bit worried when she did not come to work and Katie and I decided to check to make sure that she was alright. Unfortunately, Mindy was suffering from a severe nervous breakdown due to stress. Fortunately, when we got to her apartment, she was receiving treatment from very qualified nurses and has been stabilized. She is responding well to treatment, but she has a long road to recovery and is being itted to the Asylum for treatment.” There was a collective gasp from the girls, who had known Mindy for years and who never saw any signs of stress or depression. “The nurse and orderly treating Mindy were very nice and offered to examine both Katie and me for risks of nervous breakdown. As it turns out, both Katie and I have a 71% chance of mental health problems and will also need treatment.” There was a look of disbelief on the faces of the .
“I am really concerned that many of us may have the same type of undiagnosed stress,” one of the sisters said.
“Yes, Olivia,” Elizabeth said, “neither Katie nor I had any idea that we had high levels of stress and I’m sure that Mindy did not either until it overwhelmed her. We want any of you who are concerned about stress levels to talk to us about getting examined. I will put a sheet on my door if you are interested. We are really lucky to have a facility like the Rosewood Asylum here in town. Mindy is being transferred there for more comprehensive treatment.” The rest of the meeting was uneventful and the girls disbursed to finish homework and to socialize. Both Elizabeth and Katie were exhausted. It had been a busy day but both of them felt like they understood the problems they were facing and they needed to resume their treatment as soon as possible. Before going to bed, Elizabeth taped a sheet on her door to allow any of the sisters interested in being examined and possibly treated to sign up. Before she turned out the light, Elizabeth texted Nurse Lydia to report that she had completed her assignment.
“Good girl, 5635. Both you and 5634 should report back here tomorrow morning at 8:00am to resume treatment. Bring the names of all of your sorority who need examination so that those exams can be scheduled.” The response made Elizabeth feel good. She loved obeying Nurse Lydia and she desperately wanted to continue her treatment. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was asleep. She slept soundly no doubt due to the release of stress that she had experienced thanks to Nurse Lydia. She had been unable to force herself to remove her socks and had slept in them. Before heading to the shower, she forced herself to remove them and she folded them neatly. Just removing them filled her with a sense of loss. When she opened her door to head to the shower, she was amazed that the sheet on her door was completely filled and that some of the girls had flipped it over to write their names on the back. Of the 50 girls in the chapter, at least 45 had signed up and several had asked if their friends outside of the sorority could sign up. She knew that Nurse Lydia would be very proud of her.
“Did you sleep as well as I did,” Elizabeth asked Katie.
“Like a rock. I relaxed and went right to sleep,” Katie said, “I couldn’t bear to take my socks off.” Elizabeth giggled.
“I couldn’t either. They help me feel so relaxed and so much pleasure.” The girls returned to their rooms and dressed, slipping back into their socks. They instantly felt the waves of pleasure that they had grown accustomed to.” Elizabeth checked her watch. 7:30am. “We need to head out.” Elizabeth grabbed the sign up sheet and they headed back to Mindy’s apartment. When they arrived, Nurse Lydia was waiting for them along with one of the male orderlies. “How is Min….5629 doing” Elizabeth said correcting herself. Using a patient’s given name rather than their patient number was a violation of the rules and could have subjected her to punishment.
“She has been committed to the Asylum. The doctor signed the paperwork last night. She is being well cared for.” That made the girls feel much better. “What do you have for me?” Elizabeth handed over the sign up sheet that included the names of the girls and their cell phone numbers.
“Good girl, 5635. You have done well. Thanks to you, many of these girls will be spared the trauma of a nervous breakdown.” Elizabeth smiled. Being praised by Nurse Lydia felt wonderful. “Now, let’s get you and 5634 into your uniforms for your next session of treatment. Nurse Lydia guided Katie back into the bedroom. “Strip.” The command instantly prompted Katie to remove her jeans, top, bra and panties. Her socks remained on. Nurse Lydia inspected her body. Katie was fit having played tennis up through high school. “Lie down.” Katie lay down on the bed. “The pussy hair must go. You must be smooth.” Nurse Lydia applied some shaving cream and within a few minutes, Lydia’s pussy was pubic hair free. “Sit up.” Katie sat up and Nurse Lydia helped her into her uniform. The gown dropped just above her knees and had a patch with her patient number, 5634. She guided Katie back out to the living room so that she could sit on the couch. The orderly had already set up two IV stands with bags of a light blue fluid hanging from them. Nurse Lydia took Elizabeth back and repeated the process, so that both girls were uniformed and ready for treatment.
“I have been instructed to accelerate your treatment. Additional bed space has become available at the Asylum and the doctors want both of you prepared for commitment. The preliminary treatment we provided to 5629 took several days. By istering your treatment by IV, that process can be completed in less than 24 hours. This is going to make both of you feel exhausted, but it is absolutely necessary. that we know what is best for you.” Both girls willingly offered their arms in preparation for the IV. They both felt a pinch as the IV port was inserted. The orderly inserted the IV and opened the valve allowing the medication to begin its flow into their arms. Both Elizabeth and Katie felt a coolness flowing into their arms. They also began to feel sleepy. Nurse Lydia then fit each of them with a VR headset and started the program. Each of them drifted into a state of trance as their minds relaxed and welcomed their new programming.
While Elizabeth and Katie were in treatment, Nurse Lydia decided to reach out to Mindy’s roommate, Jayne, who was expected to return. Using Mindy’s cell phone, Nurse Lydia texted Jayne to find out when she would be back from her trip. Jayne responded that she was being delayed, but would return the next day by noon. That gave Nurse Lydia the time she needed to finish the initial treatment of Elizabeth and Katie. Nurse Lydia continued to monitor the girls. Both seemed to be progressing nicely and Katie had a stream of drool from the corner of her mouth. Both had peed in their diapers, which was expected. The relaxation induced by treatment meant that patients were incapable of resisting the need to urinate or deficate.
Because of the accelerated treatment, both Elizabeth and Katie experienced severe cramps and stomach pain. It was if they were having their worst period ever.
After two hours, Nurse Lydia stopped the VR programming. In her experience, even young brains needed time out of hypnosis. She removed the headsets. The girls slumped. Their minds completely emptied. They were weak but completely content. Neither had ever felt the pleasure they had just experienced. The pain had subsided replaced by more intense pleasure. “How are we feeling 5634 and 5635?”
“I feel sooooooo good,” Katie drawled. “Soooooo nice”
“Good girl. We want you to feel nice. How do you feel 5635?”
“I feel nice toooooo,” Elizabeth said. “Can I have more pleasure?”
“Of course, we are just beginning. I wanted to check how you were feeling” Nurse Lydia checked their vital signs and confirmed that they were in good shape. The orderly changed out the IV bag for the next strongest medication. “Time for your next session.” Nurse Lydia replaced their headsets and started the IV drip. Soon, both girls were drifting back into mindlessness. Both of them would make perfect patients. By the middle of the afternoon, both girls had been through three cycles of treatment. Nurse Lydia wanted them both to nap for an hour to restore their energy. She gave both of them a protein shake and changed their diapers. The protein shake was also laced with a strong laxative. Both girls were soon fast asleep. By the time that they awoke, both had again peed and pooped their diapers. She cleaned them up and brought them back into the living room.
“You have both done very well in treatment today. I am sure you feel much better than you did this morning and we have removed many of the toxins from your brains, but we have much more work to do. After considering the matter, I have decided that it is best if 5635 returns to the sorority house and 5634 is itted to the Asylum. Katie smiled. Elizabeth was disappointed, but she understood that her only option was to obey Nurse Lydia. Nurse Lydia took Elizabeth back into the bedroom to change back into her regular clothing, while the orderly prepared Katie for transfer to the Asylum. When Elizabeth emerged, Katie had been fitted with her collar and was sitting in a chair. “As soon as I received the signed commitment papers, you will be transported to the Asylum.”
“Yes, Ma’am,” Katie said feeling the excitement of the unknown. As she left the apartment, Elizabeth smiled at Katie. She hoped they would be reunited soon. She waved, but Katie seemed lost. Her stare was distant. Nurse Lydia told Elizabeth that she would be in touch about helping other of the sorority. When Elizabeth returned to the house, other sisters asked about Katie. Elizabeth smiled.
“Katie is being itted to the Asylum for treatment. She is in good hands. I am so glad that her condition was diagnosed today. Otherwise she might have had a breakdown like Mindy.”
“Can we visit her?”
“Not for a while. She needs immediate treatment and visits would only distract her. She is going to need lots of rest. I just hope that there are not too many other sisters who have elevated stress levels, but Elizabeth had complete confidence that treatment was available for any of her sisters that needed it. More than anything, she hoped that she would be able to Mindy and Katie at the Asylum soon.
