Roland sat staring at the screen, small beads of perspiration starting from the unshaven skin of his top lip. His pink tongue slipped between his teeth for a moment, and the strained look on his face became more intense, then softened.
The flickering, grainy images on the screen dimmed gradually
to nothing as he sat silently, chest heaving.
There appeared to be no movement for a while, then with small furtive movements of his lower arm, the screen began again its flickering fandango of images of sad, painted whores, posed for the viewing pleasure of Roland and his ilk.
The power generated by the device strapped to his arm was enough to keep up a steady current to run the modified monitor in a fashion similar to an old-fashioned peep show. What the hell? It was even environmentally friendly!

The latest people-gym idea reminded me about this one. |
