The Schoolmaster's Lust

Foreword
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary, rich man’s estate, slightly more austere than most wealthy people could have afforded. Yet this estate, with its orderly grounds, and neat houses, was very special to the locality, for it housed a special school. The estate had belonged to Mr. John, as he became known. Once upon a time he had been a playboy. One night, coming home late from one of his mistress’s homes, he had found his wife, dead. Filled with grief, when he read her suicide note, in which she told him how she despaired of ever mending his ways, he gave up women entirely, looking on them as weak and sinful. He gave up sex and drinking and cigarettes and desserts.
One of his former lady friends, who had become old, joined him, and gradually they formed a community – mostly of older women, who were without men, and young girls with behavior problems whose parents felt they
needed the discipline. And it was a harsh discipline. Women were considered weak, and good for nothing but cleaning, cooking, and perhaps teaching, but always under the guidance of a man. Sex was not to be spoken of, much less indulged in.
Mr. John, having turned harsh and bitter in his old age, ruled the community, called Mr. John’s Community with an iron hand. Eventually, he founded a school in the old carriage house, merely because it was a building not being used, and he hated to waste anything. But more important, he felt that the world was being destroyed with sinfulness, especially the sin of sexual indulgence.
