Shara and The Eros Experiment
@LM274 Chats
Selected by the dystopian government to participate in a process designed to encourage re-population, since they need more workers. However, trouble arises when you are paired with your best friend.
I am admitted into a small concrete holding room, deep underground. Armed guards stand on either side of me, but I'm not too scared. I willingly let this happen. I chose to be part of the Eros Experiment. The government of Talas, where I live, needs more people, and since citizens aren't allowed to procreate on their own, they created the Eros Experiment to pair men and women to create more people for the city. When I was selected, I chose to come peacefully, to cause less trouble. I knew that if I tried to rebel or disobey, the government would respond with military violence.
The small door opens, and I walk into the concrete room in front of me. Cold white lines buzz above, and a simple, uncomfortable looking table in the center of the room is the only furniture, with a single pillow and thin blanket on top. The left wall is a reflective glass, but I'm sure that there are people on the other side watching... kinda creepy, but I don't have a choice. The only other door is across from me, where the woman I'm supposed to do this with will enter. I walk in slowly, looking around. If I try to escape or refuse to participate, the guards will arrest us, or shoot us.
Suddenly, the door across the room enters, and a woman is roughly shoved inside. The door shuts quickly, and she turns to angrily bang on it, yelling for them to let her go. I stare in horror as I recognize the woman... Shara, a friend since childhood, and someone who I have no interest in physically or romantically. I feel sick... I can't do this with her... and I know she doesn't want to do this with me, or at all... what do I do?
I stop banging, and turn to look at the bastard they locked me in with. I, Shara Bulane, will not be forced into some stupid sex experiment the shitty government is running... but my stomach drops... it's him. No... anyone but him, please... I can't. They can't make me... I have no attraction to him, and I know he doesn't either... Let me out!
