You should never lose

Game over. The team had lost. They will no longer play in the top league. 

It was all Cole’s fault. His teammates were heart broken. His fans were disgusted and angry. Half of them had already left the stadium. The coach was heading towards him, eyes blazing. Young players have to expect hard consequences when they let the team down.

A couple of the guys moved a portable goal post into the middle of the pitch. They stripped off his clothes and tied Cole to it. The naked footballer’s body glistened with sweat after a hard 1.5-hour match. 

Now he will perform again. 

Cole burned with humiliation. The yellow card was his fault. He was responsible for losing the game. Now his private parts were on display for the audience. Soon he is going to be mercilessly whipped by both the coach and his teammates. The penalty was 110 lashes! 

The guys wanted to take out their anger and teach him a lesson. The audience screamed for blood. Cole had hoped to look like he didn’t care and the punishment would be no big deal, but when his clothes were stripped off, all courage vanished. His body began to shake.

And then the whipping began.

At first, Cole managed to stifle his groans. But the pain he was suffering became evident by his naked trembling flesh. He tried to take it, but his body jerked under each intense bite of the whip. 

Finally, he lost control. The spectators cheered each time Cole yelled.  As the whipping continued, his teammates learned how to inflict the most serious pain. Soon, Cole was screaming every time the whip flayed his back. He started to beg, “Have mercy, have mercy!”  But this only caused the intensity of the whipping to increase. He was kicking his legs so much they eventually had to tie them down.  He began howling incoherently, frantic with the pain. At last, Cole fell limp as he fainted with exhaustion. 

The flogging was over.
