You woke up to see the impossible. Last night you had fallen asleep in a comfy bed, but when you woke up now, you were lying on the floor of a plastic, hamster cage. Instead of the pajamas you'd worn to bed, you were dressed in some kind of white jumpsuit. On realizing your situation, a flood of questions entered your mind: Have I been kidnapped? How? Why? What happened last night? Where were you? What the hell was going on?! You approached the clear wall of your prison to get a better look outside. What you saw made your jaw drop, and one question, more important than all the others, sounded off in your head and escaped your mouth, "Have I been shrunk?!"
Outside your cage you could see you were on a giant desk at the forefront of a classroom. From your point of view, the desk was as long as an airplane runway. A shiny, red apple next to the cage was easily three times as big as you were. But as large as a simple piece of fruit was, it was nothing compared to the gargantuan beings sitting in the desks facing you. None of them were human. In fact they all resembled different kinds of animals. In the front row sat a purple-colored rabbit wearing a turtle-neck sweater and round glasses. She had a notebook in front of her and was already writing. On either side of her was a muscled lioness dressed in a pink tracksuit, lazing about in her chair, and an obese elephant dressed as some kind of punk rocker who was nodding her head to the music blaring out of her headphones. There were at least half a dozen other giants seated behind them. There were only two things each of these colossal creatures present had in common. The first was that they all looked like they were college grads. The second was that they were all women.
The sight of them made your head spin, and you turned around, hoping that putting them out of your mind would make you feel better. Instead, a gigantic chalkboard filled your vision, and the words written on it caused you to fall to your knees: "HUMAN OBEDIENCE 101!"
A bell rang signaling the start of class just as the door to the classroom opened and a new figure walked inside, carrying a cardboard box under her arm. Like the others she was a giant animal who walked on two legs. She was a dog with white and silver fur. Her black hair was worn in a prim bun, and she wore rectangular glasses. She was dressed in a pink, low-cut blouse that revealed an impressive amount of cleavage, and a black skirt that barely covered her colossal ass. She was also monstrously obese. Her blue eyes fell on you as she entered. It was only for a moment but it frightened you almost more than waking up the size of an insect among giants had. There had been no warmth in her eyes at all.
"Good evening, class," the dog said in a clipped, frosty voice. She put her box down on the desk next to your cage and turned to face the class, all of whom were watching her attentively. "I am Ms. Lovelace, and I will be your teacher for the summer. Being here means that each of you are planning on purchasing a human, but before you do, you wish to be educated on the best ways to own them. Now I realize human ownership is the big craze nowadays, but I'm here to warn you that it's not easy. Humans are incredibly expensive and very hard to care for. It's true that when we take them from earth we do subject them to procedures that increase their endurance, but that doesn't mean they're indestructible. If you're going to play with them or punish them, you need to know what counts as too much. Otherwise they break and you've just flushed the thousands needed to buy one straight down the toilet."
"Break?!" you squeaked in terror. Unfortunately, they either couldn't hear you or couldn't care, since all of the ladies eyes were still on Ms. Lovelace.
"Ms. Lovelace?" the bunny girl asked, raising her hand. "Isn't it true that there have been cases where some humans do become indestructible from our procedures?"
Ms. Lovelace sighed. "Yes," she said in annoyance. "There have been three cases where side effects from the procedures we subject them to, render the human indestructible. However, these are fluke cases that we've been unable to create on purpose. And there's no known way to find out if a human is impervious to damage short of intentionally trying to kill them and seeing if they survive. Since I doubt any of you girls want to make such a huge gamble with your money, we'll operate under the assumption that you haven't hit the proverbial jackpot with your human."
The bunny girl blushed in embarrassment and buried her face back in her notebook.
"Now," Ms. Lovelace continued. "During the next few months, I will instruct you on the proper ways to care for your human, how to train them to follow your commands, how to punish them if they misbehave without killing them, how to condition them to be the perfect slave to you in every way. You'll learn things like how much pressure they can withstand, how long they can go without air, how long they can survive in stomach acids before being digested, and all the rest of the standard disciplinary techniques anthro owners use."
Those were the standard techniques?! You felt like you were going to be sick.
"Take this human, here," she said, acknowledging your presence for the first time. All the rest of the ladies in class now looked at you, and you could see for the first time that there was a kind of hunger in some of their eyes. "This one we've just got off planet last night. He'll be especially hard to control since he hasn't had time to adjust to his new role in life. Luckily I'm a trained professional, and I know all the best ways on how to shape your human slaves to your will. He'll assist me in showing you the master-servant dynamics of our relationships. You all won't start out with humans of your own. Until you learn enough to practice with my small helper here, you'll be using these life-size human dolls to try out for yourselves." As she said this, she reached into the cardboard box and pulled out a flesh-colored doll that resembled a fully-grown human.
"Now, before we begin with these, I'll give you a brief lesson on basic human care."
You were barely listening as Ms. Lovelace began droning on about how often humans needed to eat and sleep. Instead you were trying to formulate a plan to break out of here and get back home. Unfortunately for you, there was absolutely no way out of your cage. The only opening was through the ceiling, and there was nothing in the cage to climb on to, to reach the top. And all the walls were flat. After twenty minutes of futilely trying to think of an escape plan, your fears finally wore you down and you just began trying to climb the clear walls.
The punk elephant saw your efforts and laughed. Ms. Lovelace broke off her lecture and turned to see what was so funny. You froze when her eyes fell on you again.
Ms. Lovelace tut-ted in annoyance. "I'm used to students disrupting my lectures, but most humans are usually too smart to try something like that. I see you're an exception to the rule," she said, triggering a chorus of laughs from her students. She didn't acknowledge them, only keeping her frosty glare on you. "If you're so keen on making a scene in this class, I'd be more than happy to bring you front and center to everyone's attention. Let's get started with a demonstration on proper obedience training."
Ms. Lovelace opened the cage and reached inside. You tried to scurry from her hand, but it was no good. She plucked you out of your jail easily and raised you to her face. You begged her to have mercy on you, but her face remained stoic as she pondered what kind of punishment she should inflict on you first.
