"It's just a standard test to check if your emotional and physical response falls within acceptable range," the medtech said reassuringly as she placed electrodes on Viggo's temples, his intimate parts, the tips of his fingers.
"I know, I've done this test before."
He smiled at her and leaned back confidently.
She showed him the usual catalog of atrocities, abuse, murder, rape, and he showed the appropriate responses, glee, excitement, arousal.
Then there were pictures of people he knew, of people he'd never seen before.
Of Sean, laughing.
By the time they took him away his tears had nearly dried.
The end
Note: This is a weird mixup of 'A Clockwork Orange' and 'Equilibrium'. The latter I haven't even seen yet. Sometimes I scare myself.

*shiver* Subtly creepy... wonderfully done!
Thank you! As I said, I scared myself when I wrote this, creepy does sum it up, doesn't it? I'm glad you liked it anyway!

Date: 2003-07-24 10:40 pm (UTC)So do I. These stories are a bit like a tooth ache. You don't want to feel the pain, but you get drawn to it every time. They make me ache inside, and yet when I come across such a story I'll read it anyway (and apparently write one as well).
Very evocative: hurts.
Thank you. I mean for the fact that you considered it evocative.

I felt so bad having to put him through this, and I even /refuse/ to thank what Sean's fate was!
