A dystopian terror tale for anyone dreading Monday morning: 'A Question of Confinement'


A Question of Confinement

The thought.

It just popped into my mind on my morning commute, crammed into the shuttle with all the other cattle.

‘Why do we tolerate this?’

The alarm above my seat sounded and two Company droids came from the cockpit, moving jerkily down the cabin to come and arrest me, take me back to HQ for disciplinary action.

The operation will be conducted without anaesthetic and will be painful. Machinery will sustain me while my organs are replaced with synthetics. Components will be placed in my skull, making me programmable; a droid never able to question the Company again.
