The unlucky guy

 

Introduction: This is a story of the first guy convicted to PN (PermanentNude) punishment. PN is a legal punishment in which the convicted person has to leave all the clothes and remain stark naked for a specific period. Read how he was trapped into this situation and how he felt as soon as his worst day of his life begun. Driving at 4 kph more than the speed limit and a sequence of facts that can happen only once in a million altogether, transformed a small fine of 20 USD to an 1-year PN punishment for the pour guy of our story

 

1. Friday morning: The nightmare begins

Last Friday seemed to be a normal day of my life. I woke up at 7:00 in the morning and I got prepared to get to my work. As usual, I had a 20 minutes’ drive before arriving at the premises of the company I am working for. I usually take the public transport but this morning, I don’t know why, I decided to drive to work by car. Unexpectedly, although it was 7:40 am, there was almost no traffic at the streets, and at some point, without realizing it, I exceeded the speed limit of the city center. I was driving by 54 kph with a speed limit of 50. A police car was at the next corner of the street, and they signaled me to stop at the right side of the road.

“Good morning sir”, police officer said.
“Good morning”, I replied.
“Can I have your papers please?”
”Sure”, I said, and I gave my driving license.
”You are driving by 54 kph. You exceeded the speed limit and we have to impose you a fine of 20 USD”.
“I am sorry for that, but I didn’t realize it. It was just 4 kph. Not a big deal.”
“Seriously?” Police officer asked me angrily. “Just 4 kph? Ok Mr., if you think it is not a big deal, go to the court and explain it to the judge”.

So instead of imposing the fine, the police officer prepared the paper for the court and submitted it electronically into the system. For such misdemeanor cases, of low significance, the person should appear to the court the next working day, that was next Monday for my case. A lawyer is not required in such cases. I got frustrated by the incident. I thought I was treated very strictly unfairly by the police officer but I couldn’t change it now. I continued driving to work without even thinking the nightmare that would follow.

I finished my work in the afternoon and I drove back home. After I finished my lunch, I did my favorite habit. I opened my tablet to read the daily news. While I was scrolling down, I read a very strange news. The city council was thinking to implement Permanent Nudity as a way of punishment. The subject was proposed for discussion by a city councilor. At this point I have to mention something about the city law. Every proposal for discussion and voting should have at least the signature of 1o councilors in order to be raised for discussion. Exceptionally, every councilor has the right to raise one point for discussion without any other signature once during the 4-years’ service. Consequently, the proposal for the PN punishment would be discussed in the forthcoming meeting, which was on Saturday morning. I shut down my tablet and I laughed at this news. Stupid people, I said to myself. What did he have in mind when he raised this as point of discussion? What does he expect to happen? Does he ever expect to set nudity as a way of punishment?

At night, I went to sleep without even thinking about that silly news that I read. I only felt a little bit anxious about the forthcoming court. But I shouldn’t be. “I just have to be there on Monday morning, I will pay a small fine and that’s it”, I said to myself.

2. Saturday morning: The big surprise

On Saturday morning I woke up and I got prepared for the weekend. Some shopping, supermarket etc. Last week was a difficult week at work and I had to rest a little bit during weekend. While I was following my routine, in the conference room of the town hall, the points of the daily agenda were discussed. The first issue to be discussed, was the proposal for PN punishment. As it was expected, there were many objections and arguments by most of the city councilors. Despite that, there were 2-3 more councilors that found the idea interesting, and that it was worth to at least try it. Because of the heavy workload and the plethora of topics that should be discussed, most of the counselors wanted to “technically” skip this stupid point. In order to avoid additional conflicts and discussions about it and to save time for more urgent matters of the agenda, the majority of the council took a strange decision. They decided to impose a PN punishment to one guy or girl, for one year as a test and they would discuss again the issue after one year. With this decision, they stopped the discussion about this point, and they made sure that it wouldn’t be discussed again for the next one year. The choice of the person would be done randomly, among the forthcoming courts. No nature of crime was clarified. It could be for any person that was found guilty for whatever reason.

 

3. Monday morning: The court day

It was already Monday, and I woke up earlier than usual because I had to appear to the court. It was a routine process, but I had to be there before 7:30 to get informed about the exact time of my turn. I put 50 USD in my wallet, and I left home, since the highest fine for such cases is only 20 USD. I was not anxious about the money but more about the time I should spend. I had informed my company about it, but I didn’t want to be too late.

Meanwhile, already from 7:00 am, at the town hall, the civil clerks were taking care of Saturday city council’s decisions and sent the related correspondence to the interested parties. One of them sent an email to the courts, that a guy or girl should be chosen for one year of PN punishment. Mistakenly, the email was sent with a red flag, meaning with high importance, and therefore implying that it should be handled as priority. There was no direction regarding the nature of the crime. The only thing that should be taken into consideration was the certainty of guilt. The judge should be 100% sure for the accusation, so that the convicted person wouldn’t appeal to the decision.

As soon as the secretariat of the city court received the red flagged email, they immediately forwarded it to the judges, emphasizing that it was sent with high importance and that action should be taken immediately, meaning that the PN punishment should be imposed today to the eligible person.

When I arrived at the building of the court, there were many people waiting their turn but most of the trials were suspended and postponed. The lawyers of the city declared a strike for 24 hours. As a result, only cases that a lawyer was not mandatory would be forwarded to the court today, and all the rest would be transferred to Tuesday

I walked to the table with the announcements of the time for the cases that would be processed today. I was the very first in the line and I would enter the court at 08:00 am. I regarded it as a big luck because I would end soon, I would pay my fine and I could go to work after. I couldn’t even think what would happen next.

It was already 08:00 and I entered the courtroom. I heard my name and I walked forward.

“Hello Mr…..,” the judge said.

” Good morning”, I replied.

“As I read here, you were driving in the city center by 54 kph. The police officer took photos of your car, your driving license, your ID card and one photo of your face when he stopped you at the street.”

“Ah”, I raised my shoulders.

“Since I am entitled to find one person for PN punishment as soon as possible, and since most of the trials today were suspended, I would kindly ask you to give all your clothes and your shoes to the police officer”.

“But your honor it was just 4 kph”, I mumbled….

“I know, but I want to make sure that I will find the PN person today” the judge said. “I continue… You are not allowed to wear any kind of clothing for the next one year. You are also not allowed to use any kind of fabric or towel to cover any part of your body. No other artificial material or technique is allowed as coverage. Your naked body should always be uncovered. You are only allowed to wear a simple face mask for covid-19 protection only in indoor spaces as soon as the use of it is obligatory. Otherwise, your face should be uncovered. No mask, no hat, no sunglasses allowed. You are not allowed to use your car or taxi in the city. You should only use the public transport for all your movements inside the city. Use of taxi is allowed only in emergency situations. Hospital, catch a flight or during night, or if public transport is not available. You are not allowed to go abroad during your conviction. As a PN, a free pass to public transport is granted to you, as a result of your car seizure. The decision comes into force as of now. As I said, you are asked to give all your clothes to the police officer. You will be given a paper by the court, as a proof that you are convicted to 1 year of PN punishment. You will present it to everyone who wants to treat you differently because of your nudity. Your employer cannot neither fire you during this 1-year period nor change your salary or your position. No shop or establishment can prevent you from entering or deny servicing you. The meeting is over. Who is next?”, judge said and a police officer came to pick me up.

In a state of shock, I was led by the police officer outside the courtroom, in a nearby office to give all my clothes. I started mechanically getting stripped. I had a terrible headache, and I couldn’t even think about the whole situation. As soon and I was stark naked, I was led outside the building. I was already naked at street. My new life for the next one year just begun. People around me were looking at my naked body. A group of young boys and girls took photos. I walked to the nearest subway station, to go to work. The only positive thing is that it was a sunny day, and the temperature was already 25C (77F).

I reached the subway station, and I entered the train. It was just now that I started realizing my situation. Now, I have to be naked for the next one year. How can this really happen? Why did they do this to me? What will I say to my parents, my relatives, my friends, my colleagues and my neighbors? Why did they choose me out of 1000 people? Why am I so unlucky?

 

4. On the way to work

I was already on the way to work. All my belongings were kept by the police after the court and would be sent at home by post. I had only had my mobile phone, a cash card, the entrance badge of the office, the paper of my conviction and my apartment key. Nothing more nothing less. No inch of clothing or any kind of fabric, no shoes, no shocks. My fully naked body was in plain view of everyone.

I was already on the subway. During my ride, the same thoughts were coming to my mind. “How in hell am I trapped into this?”, “What have I done to deserve this punishment”, “How can this really happen to me”, “How can it be possible?” People around me were looking to my naked body in shock. Some others just laughed. I was convicted to PN some minutes ago, so obviously nobody new about my naked nightmare. Some curious passengers were asking the reason why I was naked and waved the head with sympathy as soon as they were informed about it. Whenever I was seeing people with mobile phones on their hands, I was wondering, “do they take photos? I hope not. I don’t want to see my naked body everywhere on the internet”. These were the most difficult 20 minutes of my life. I was feeling trapped in the train totally naked with so many people around me. My bare feet were stepping on the cold floor worsening more his situation. I could sit to hide a little bit my body, but I didn’t want to put my bare butt on the seats. I continued standing naked in the middle of the wagon for everybody to see. Hopefully, I didn’t meet anyone who I knew. But for sure, I wouldn’t avoid that forever.

 

After a 20 minutes ride, I was finally out of the train. It was already a warm day, and the fresh air on my body and face was quite relieving, despite my nakedness. I was walking on the streets. I was still thinking of this whole situation. So many unfortunate events happened to have this bad result. So many questions in my mind and so many “why”.

“Why did I take the car last Friday? I always use the public transport when the weather is nice. I wouldn’t meet the police officer at the street”.

“Why was the street totally empty? I know it is my fault that I exceeded the speed limit, but I wouldn’t do it if there was a traffic jam.

“Why did the police officer stop my car? I mean, it is true that I was driving by 54 kph instead of 50, but he could let me go. There were drivers in front of me that were driving even faster, and he didn’t stop any other car. Why did he choose me?”

“Why was the cop so strict with me? I just did a polite comment that he stopped me just for 4kph.I didn’t insult him. I was not rude or offensive. Why did he send me to court? He could just impose me the 20 dollars fine.”

“Why did the councilor propose something so stupid to the council especially last Friday? He couldn’t wait for next week?”

“Why did the council finally take such a stupid decision? What do they want to check with keeping someone naked for a whole year?”

“Why did the civil clerk do the stupid mistake and sent the email to the judges with a red flag? It was not urgent at all. Otherwise, the choice of the PN person wouldn’t have been done today.”

“Why was I so unlucky and there was a strike of lawyers today? Most of the trials were suspended and the judge couldn’t do anything but impose the PN sentence to the first available person”

“Why was I the first person in line today?”

“Ah, I am so unlucky”, I thought. Everything went totally wrong.

 

5. First naked day at the office

I was already outside my work. I couldn’t enter the building like that. I was so nervous and desperate. I didn’t know what to do. How could I meet my colleagues in the buff? I decided to call my manager first, and ask her, if possible, to come out, to explain her the situation. She came down some minutes after. As soon as she saw me naked, she screamed: “Oh my God, Michalis, why are you stark naked? What happened to you?”. I explained to her in brief what was going on. “Oh, poor Michalis, I am so sorry to hear all this situation. It must be really tough for you. Come upstairs. Nobody is at the offices right now because of a meeting. Go and sit on your desk and I will call everyone on a meeting before they come and see you in the buff and I will explain the situation. Do you want me to bring you anything? Anything to eat? A towel or anything else?

“Oh Becka, thank you very much. If possible, could bring me something to eat and a bottle of water? I don’t feel ready to go to the restaurant naked yet. And maybe a pack of wet wipes to clean my desk and my chair. I don’t feel comfortable to put my naked butt on the chair. I don’t think I could use a towel. The court decision doesn’t allow me to use any kind of fabric for one year”.

“OK Michalis let’s do it like that for today. But since this situation will last one year, you have to start thinking how you will return to your routine and keep the same habits as previously, despite that you are naked.

I nodded in agreement, and we entered the building. She led me to my desk, to help me to sit and she called my colleagues to inform them about the situation. Many of them were shocked and some of them were laughing. How much embarrassed I was feeling.

“OK Michalis, I think everything is under control now. As much as it can be. When the rest team members come, try to behave as much naturally as you can. They will also try not to pay attention to your nudity”.

“OK Becka, thank you very much”.

“At 5pm we will have a meeting with the HR manager to discuss all the possibilities and how we will handle this situation”.

“Thank you Becka, you’re so kind. Talk to you again later”

One by one my colleagues started coming on their desk. I was sitting behind my desk trying to hide my body as much as possible. I was feeling so vulnerable and exposed. Nobody commented anything about my nudity and the whole situation. But I could see in their eyes that they were looking at me shocked. Only one, my best friend at the office, Thomas, came next to me and he told me:” don’t get upset. It is just one year. It will end soon. We are so sorry for you. Everyone in the team will support you”.

I felt quite better after the behavior of my colleagues. I knew it was very strange also for them, but they did their best to make me feel comfortable. Most of the day I was sitting on my chair. At least I could hide my private parts behind the desk. Only when I had to go to the printer to take my printouts, or to go to the toilet, I was walking through the office. I felt so embarrassed whenever I had to do so. I had a feeling that all eyes were on my naked body.

 

It was already 5:00 pm and I had a meeting with the HR manager, as Becka had informed me. I had to cross almost the whole building to go to HR office. Now, all the employees of our company had already seen me naked. How much ashamed I was feeling.

After a naked 3-minutes’ walk I was already naked in front of the HR manager. Becka was sitting on a chair next to him. I didn’t want to sit οn a chair with bare ass, so I preferred to continue standing.

“So, Michalis”, the manager said. “Becka explained to me in brief the situation. Can I have the paper of the court’s decision? To see what is exactly mentioned on it?”

“Yes sure”, I replied and I gave him the paper.

After 3-minutes reading he started talking again. “As it is mentioned here, you have to be stark naked for a whole year. You cannot use any kind of clothing or artificial material to cover any part of your body. I would advise you not even to put your hands to hide your genitals or your buttocks. There is a very ambiguous sentence in the decision: «No other artificial material or technique is allowed as coverage. Your naked body should always be uncovered». Maybe also hiding parts of your body with your hands is implied”.

“And what about shoes?”, I asked. “It is not mentioned on the decision. Maybe I could try it and see if I police will advise me otherwise”.

“No, certainly not, I wouldn’t recommend it. There is a strange law for people who were convicted to a penalty other than imprisonment, for example community service. If you break any rule of the sentence, there is a danger that your penalty will be doubled. So, let’s be on the safe side and keep you fully naked”.

“That’s crazy”, I complained. “Is it possible to double my penalty just because I covered my genital with my hands or because I wore shoes in a rainy day?”.

“You never know. Did you ever expected to lose all your clothes just for 4kph?”

“To be honest, no”

“So, let’s follow the rules”

“Yes, I agree”.

“Our company usually offers two days of teleworking per week if you apply for it. Given the special circumstances, we will give you flexibility regarding this. You are allowed to use these days whenever you want. For example, you can come at the office consecutively for two or three weeks and then take these days after. It is better to use these days whenever the weather is cold or rainy, especially during winter. Take a day off for tomorrow to decide how you will handle the whole situation”

“Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. As I saw on the weather forecast, next days will be sunny, so I will come at the office everyday”.

“It is up to you. Now, you can go home and rest. It was for sure a very difficult day for you”.

“Thank you very much”, I said and Ι started to leave the HR office. Becka, my manager also came with me.

“It is OK Michalis”, she told me as we were standing on the corridor. “Don’t be afraid, everything will go well. At least you are young, and you have a nice body, so nobody will at least feel badly about your nudity. It is just a little bit strange. Don’t be upset, and just try not to think about it. One year will pass quickly”.

“Thank you Becka”, you are such a good manager. Thank you very much for your support and have a nice evening”.

“Nice evening Michalis”.

Finally, my first naked day at the office was already finished. I already went to the elevators to leave the building.

 

6. After work activities

As soon as I exited the building I heard the voice of a friend of mine, Alexis. “Hey, Michalis, why are you naked?”, he asked me. I explained to him in brief the whole situation and he told me:

“We were supposed to go for beach volley today after work, did you forget it?”

“To be honest Alexis, I entirely forgot it. With all these things happened I didn’t remember it. I cannot come and play like this.

“Off course you can, it is not a big deal. If you don’t come, there is no one else to replace you for today”.

He finally convinced me, and we went to the playground for one and a half hours. It was the strangest game I had ever played so far. I had never played volleyball naked again. All the onlookers were looking mostly in our pitch. Many of them were recording our game with their mobile phones. I was sure why. Now, it was pretty certain that my naked body would end up on the internet. After 1.5 hours our game was finished, and I was finally able to return home. A last part of the nightmare of my first naked day remained. The returning to home.

 

7. On my way to home

I decided to take again the subway. My friend Alexis was offered to pick me up at home, but I preferred public transport. The decision of the court didn’t allow me to use my car or a taxi, in order to keep me naked in public places. Maybe entering someone else’s car was also not allowed. I didn’t want to risk it. I would ask a lawyer as soon as possible about it. One of the last parts of today just started. I entered the subway to come back. Same feeling, same behaviors, same embarrassment as in the morning again. At some point I realized that a young girl was taking photos of my naked body while I was standing in the train.

“Hey, you”, I told her, and I covered unwittingly my genitals with one hand. “You are not allowed to take photos of me”

“And you are also not allowed to cover your body, she replied.

I knew she was maybe right. I immediately removed my hand, and I didn’t talk to her again. After this she continued taking pictures, or videos I don’t know, of me. I thought it was better for me not to tell anything else and let her keep going. Some other people in the train, were encouraged by this and also took photos or videos without any inhibition anymore. “Why are they doing this”, I said to myself. I don’t want to be naked on their cell phones. I continued the way home without saying anything else to anyone.

 

I was already outside the subway, and I was walking back to home. Hopefully, I went to the supermarket on Saturday, and I didn’t have to go again. “I should start buying everything from the internet from now on for the next one year”, I said to myself. I started walking back home. It was a 10-minutes’ walk tο my house. I saw many familiar faces of friends or neighbors, but nobody talked to me. Maybe they were shocked. I tried to walk on the sides of the road with less people, so I was going fast from one side to another.

I was finally outside my home. I entered and I closed the door behind me. The first nightmarish day was just over. Tomorrow morning, I should call a lawyer and also call my parents to inform them about my PermanentNude sentence. I prepared my dinner, and after this I went to sleep. I was feeling so exhausted corporally and psychologically. Tomorrow it would be a new day. A new naked day of my life.
