Time for a change – Part 0
#1 of Time for a Change
I'm going to give this a try and see how well this works. I basically had an idea the other evening for a series where I write a short block of text (300-500 words) and then give people options to vote on at the end. After a little while I'll write the next part based on how many people voted, and continue from there. It will sort of be like a choose-your-own adventure, but with more porn. >.>
The overall theme for the story will be that something odd has happened to the world, and people waking up changed and strange things happening are becoming common knowledge. This part, which I will also use to gauge interest in the series, will determine who we will follow. I hope people enjoy it!
It was a full month after 'The Event', and so far everything had been going on as usual. Obviously in the days after 'E-Day', when the sky flashed with multi-coloured lights, the seas had risen and fallen, and people had proclaimed it to be the end of days, things had been weird. But then...everything went back to normal. Sure, the sky would occasionally flicker like a speeded up film. Ok, sometimes unmarked police cars would show up in the middle of the night to deal with strange occurrences. But since the world did not end, people still needed to eat, and so most people just went back to work, or otherwise got on with their lives.
Take Matt and Jenny, for instance. They had spent the nights following E-Day huddled together under a desk at work, praying, talking and eventually having sex. Believing it to be the last time they would enjoy physical contact they both indulged (over-indulged, in fact) in each other. Had they not been working late when the buzzing noises began overhead and the night sky flickered with rainbow hues they would never, in a million years, have considered doing it otherwise.
Obviously this made working together rather uncomfortable afterwards.
They were trying to break up in an amicable way that very evening, but both were far too polite to do it. They were doing the 'couple' thing; grabbing dinner and talking about plans and how much they enjoyed being together. At that moment, in fact, they were both walking hand in hand, waiting for the other person to do or say something that would give them a good cause to break it off.
Neither did by the time they reached the crossroads that lead to their separate flats.
"So, uh..." Mat began, leaning in for a kiss. They parted and Jenny smiled up at him. Both were wondering if they could maybe milk this relationship for at least a little more sex before they had to give it up.
"See you at work tomorrow?" she finished for him. Both of them looked up as that weird reverse-thunder that had been going on all day rattled the sky.
Matt nodded and gave her hand a squeeze. "I guess so. Sleep well!" With that both of them turned to go, tugging their coats a little tighter around themselves as the temperature seemed to plummet around them. The nearby street lamp fizzled, and both felt the strange sensation of static crawling up and down their spines...
