Today a 16 year old boy was brought into the clinic by his aunt to ‘have the talk’ because his school didn’t teach sex ED and his mother wouldn’t talk to him about sex.
She spent 40 bucks so he could get tested for the first time.
I spent an hour talking to this young boy about sex. I got to have the sex talk with him. I showed him how to properly use a condom and protect himself and his partners. We talked about STDs and pregnancy prevention. We even talked about pubic grooming and ways to avoid razor burn. This poor boy has never had someone talk to him about anything related to the changes his body is going through.
And then we spent 20 minutes talking about consent and how important it is.
Growing up I never, ever had someone talk to me about consent and its importance. I even had sex ED in school!
You, a powerful demon, buys the souls of humans that sold them out of greed, has materialized on Earth to make another purchase. But when you discover that you answered the call of an orphaned street child that wanted nothing more than a meal, your black heart can’t help but break a little.
As a babysitter you are putting a young girl to bed. She says “Don’t worry. There aren’t any monsters in the closet. Daddy keeps them all locked up in the basement.”
200 years since the apocalypse. Cities are now in ruins and occupied by mutant monsters. You are the last functional robot waiting patiently for humanity’s return. One day, as you look for scraps to maintain yourself, you hear the sound of a human child crying.
You have passed the same guy on the street for a while now. He always holds a sign that says “The End is Near.” Yet today his sign says “The End has Passed.”
