Future Darkly: Pandemic - Anthony's Date

In a shadowed world gripped by plague, Anthony (Michael Vegas) trudges through empty streets, masked and gloved, clutching fragile paper sacks from a scavenging run. He slips into his fortress of solitude, hitting the rigged decontamination post by the door—ripping open bags, scrubbing goods with ruthless precision, no flinch, just grim habit. Deeper in, the main room looms like a tomb. Cut to Anthony hunched over his screen, pixels flickering in the half-light, spilling half-truths to Mom. 'Missed you,' he mutters, voice flat as the endless days that bleed into one. Dates? Forgotten in the haze. She frets, her digital face creased with worry—he's a ghost in lockdown, starved for touch. 'Try a dating app, snag a sweet thing to ride out the storm with me,' she urges. He fakes a grin, fists knotted like vices on his thighs, swearing he's solid. Lie. Routine claws at him: solo meals steaming in silence, sweat-soaked workouts echoing off bare walls, every breath a solitary grind. Breaking point hits hard—he dives into a shady app, baiting the hook for an AI soulmate, digital sin to fill the void. Enter Aurora (Ana Foxxx), her virtual form a sultry blaze, voice like velvet laced with venom. She pounces, probing deep—what fires his blood in a lover's arms? He stammers replies, but when she twists into the raw edge of his carnal hungers, the screen pulses with forbidden heat, tension coiling like a spring ready to snap.
