In some countries shrunken slavery was so common and encouraged that women could buy slaves in malls.
Most of them were third world countries, so the prices could be ridiculously low.
In Hanum (former Iran) for example, tourists came from rich countries just to buy themselves poor souls who got shrunk and enslaved for reasons like saying something wrong about Samira the current ruler or even for crossing the street in red lights.
Janet loved visiting Hanum on almost every vacation, her favorite product was the “cage heels”.
Transparent heels that had shrunken male inside during factory process, so it couldn’t get open unless it’s broken, she would use it every day as a casual accessory, bragging about it to friends.
Once one of them dies, she breaks open the other heel and lets him know that “he won” and now gets to be her foot slave, using Google translate.
It always amused her how obedient and grateful they were after that.
