Guns and Antiseptic



She clasped his face between her hands and showered his face with kisses as he laughed in protest to be set free. Today was really turning out to be a good day. He pulled her closer and kissed her deeply. Then suddenly everything went black and he felt cold all over.

“Wake your lousy ass up” an unfamiliar voice emitted from a distance as a force threw him to the ground. He opened his eyes to face two pairs of black laced boots in front of him, as big powerful hands scooped him up from the ground.

The men in the black laced boots dragged him into a sterile operating room and strapped him onto an operating table. He stared out at a doctor in a corner eagerly assembling her operating tools as the men left.

He was naked before her, his skin smooth and pristine with no visible marks, no scars, black heads or even a single birth mark, a marvel of science. As she approached his table with eyes glued to her prize, he struggled with his restraints trying to pry himself free. “Wh..a.a.att I’m I doing here?” he asked dejectedly. She moved closer to him and momentarily pointed her right index finger up in the air. He looked at her stunned and slightly revolted by her actions as she turned to walk back to the corner of the room, where her tools were.

Scanning his surroundings, he turned to face an adjacent stained white tile wall. As he focused on a particular tile, he heard the muttered wails of men and women from deep within. The sounds only added to his anxiety. He struggled again pulling his body forward but the restraints pinched into his skin and held him in place once again. Too exhausted to try again he closed his eyes and surrendered to his fate, as the doctor shifted through her tools, clicking and knocking them against each other in an unholy rhythm.
