Stall 17 by Holly Herd

A freelance photographer accepts what seems like a straightforward assignment at a remote property promising rustic authenticity. Upon arrival the situation shifts rapidly into isolation, with gates secured and oversight absent.

Placed under a rigid research protocol, she faces systematic physical alterations designed to reshape her form and daily existence. Her sharp observations and fierce refusals meet only procedural indifference from the handlers who administer the schedule.

Tension builds through imposed routines, visible irreversible changes, and the psychological strain of remaining mentally alert while her autonomy erodes. Emotional stakes intensify as she weighs futile attempts at resistance against the reality of permanent confinement.

The narrative explores power imbalances, clinical detachment, and the quiet horror of a mind that stays intact even as the body is catalogued and controlled. Readers seeking stories of transformation, captivity, and unyielding conflict will find layered intrigue in this dark erotic premise.
