This futuristic sci-fi tale gives us a look at a world where corporations own the universe and have no qualms about enslaving the masses to further their economic empires. So, it's basically 2021. (I'm only half-joking here...)In this world, homosexuality is unlawful and and Larke is under intense scrutiny. He's gay, and one of his collegues witnessed a potentially incriminating situation. Larke knows he's one report away from being fired and relegated to the status of 'uncon',--essentially a criminal with no means to support himself.While dodging his chief accuser, Larke happens upon Droje--battered, bleeding and naked--in an alley. Unable to abandon an injured man, Larke brings him to shelter in his apartment. Turns out Droje's also gay...prompting some smexytimes--which were so nice.And we learn that Droje's not a criminal, per se. He's struggling to free the corporate slaves on other worlds and had just been tortured by the state security force, Corp Sec. Recuperated, he's off to the next base to meet his comrades-in-arms.It's an interesting short with a fast pace and a solid resolution, though it's an on-going tale.
