3XXX: Naked Human Bombs

Beschreibung

Think of the poor children who have to inhabit a world where people explode from seeing skin. The following is an excerpt from an op-ed titled "The Recent Rise of TO-Induced Explosions Shows We Need to Ban Handshakes" by Caroline Stuart in the New Terra Times: "I don't enjoy saying, 'I told you so,' but ever since the Sensible Party refused to follow our advice, more and more people have been injured by that l*wd activity known as handshaking. Imagine: two people secretly meeting in an alley, away from our respectable surveillance cameras and the police, to engage in this egregious activity involving skin-to-skin contact. They must have revolting, despicable, and shameful thoughts! "I once met a child who shook hands with an adult, and after that, she became a handshaking addict. She was only 38, poor girl. So much to live for, yet she must now spend the rest of her childhood and perhaps a bit of her adulthood in rehab. She told me, 'I can't stop shaking hands. It hurts too much if I don't.' I cry for her soul. Will the Sensible Party listen to her cries and realize that people will lose everything when their hands touch other hands?" Will you find a better world for the children, or will you let it fall into decay? A text-based piece of interactive fiction.
