An excerpt from Fun With Nerve Endings, part of Ticklish Treats - Back for More:
Sometime
in the future: A young woman lay with her shackled wrists and ankles attached
to a padded table. She was a short-haired brunette with brown eyes. Her slim
form was covered in a gray bodysuit that left her hands and feet exposed.
Another
attractive woman leaned over her wearing a lab coat, blouse, slacks and
comfortable shoes. She had curly red hair that hung down to her shoulders, with
a pair of glasses covering her green eyes which had information scrolling down
the inside of the lenses. “Ms. Walker, I am so glad you agreed to assist me in
my work.”
Susan
looked up at the grinning scientist. “What kind of research study requires such
restraints?” She pulled, but could barely lift her wrists.
“Now
Ms. Walker, all of this has been thoroughly discussed and agreed upon by you.
It is too late to back out now, seeing we have already credited your account
with the promised sum. So, please try to relax as the tests are about to
begin.”
A
group approached that all bore the appearance of the scientist Olivia Foster,
though they were dressed in security uniforms and not wearing glasses. Susan
frowned up at them thinking, What sort of
person surrounds herself with androids that look like her? She watched as
they spread powder on the bottoms of her feet. “Hey, what are they doing?”
The
scientist smiled pleasantly explaining, “It is all in preparation for the
tests. Now it will cause a great deal of itching, but this will lead to
heightened sensitivity which should provide the desired response.”
Susan’s
soles and toes began to itch quite a bit. She twisted her feet back and forth,
but it provided little or no relief. “Just what kind of study is this?”
Ms.
Foster sighed. “It was all in the paperwork which you signed. This is an
extensive study of Gargalesis in the Plantar Aspect. For the next three months,
you will be stimulated by various means and your reactions observed.”
“Hold
on. I didn’t sign up to be tortured daily so you can watch.”
The
scientist held a tablet before the vexed woman, pointing to the information on
the screen. “That is precisely what you agreed to, Ms. Walker. Now this will
not be pleasant, but you have been paid well for your assistance.”
Susan
yanked at her restraints, as the itching sensations continued to intensify.
“Let me out, right now. You can’t treat me like this!”
“Calm
down, Ms. Walker. You will be released when it is time for your break. Right
now, it is time for the tests to begin.” With that she stepped back from the
padded table, and it began to slide into the wall.
The
restrained woman’s eyes went wide as a thick metal wall descended, shutting her
in. Though enclosed, the space was well-lit and there was room enough that it
did not feel claustrophobic. Still, she glanced about at all of the mechanical
instruments contained therein. Susan wailed in despair, struggling to get free.
