Future Darkly: Model Citizen

In a shadowed regime where control devours the soul, Citizen Val (Aria Lee) perches rigid before the glowing screen, her gaze locked on Mother's honeyed broadcast of unity and devotion. As the pinnacle of compliance, she surrenders to sanctioned intimacies—raw, carnal unions only with gene-vetted mates, fueling the state's unyielding machine. A sharp rap at the door shatters the hush; she springs to obey. Auditor Bale (Tyler Nixon) looms there, exuding raw dominance she dares not defy. His voice, a velvet blade, declares a standard inspection to probe the home's fidelity to protocol. Suspicion flickers in her—last audit was mere weeks past—but she yields, ushering him into the sterile lair. He prowls the space, eyes piercing for any flaw in Mother's signal reception. Probing queries follow, each one tightening the noose around her jittery facade, her pulse hammering as he feigns obliviousness to her mounting dread. At last, the intimate probe commences, his hands poised to violate and verify her body's allegiance to the collective will.
