Another day another subway ride, I thought as the train wandered into the tunnel. I wondered idly just how many times this train had taken this path. The TV across me changed to a breaking new bulletin. I look at it curiously, the change from the mundane to even something slightly abnormal waking me from the fugue of my morning commute

“Good…. Morning~” the pretty newscaster said. My eyebrow rose. She sounded different.

“Effective starting today, rape with an aim of procreation has been enacted as a provisional law. Rape is only allowed on women who are capable of bearing children. Please bear that in mind. Girls who haven’t had their periods yet, women who already reached menopause, and women who are still pregnant are all exempted from getting raped. They are to be issued with verification, while the rest of us are fair game~!”

I gasp, softly, as the newscaster suddenly was sexually assaulted by her co-star. This was real, rape broadcast on live TV. I turn around.
