Dystopia | Men are objects, toys. Sex toys. Literally. And they're on sale in a special warehouse at a
discounted price.

It was spring and the ads were everywhere.
There was no way to escape the big bold black letters that screamed at her every time she scrolled through any social media.
"What are they good for? Try our new and improved selection!"
The luxury brand's name,
FUN
, shining on the deep green background of the ad mocked her. It was the same deep green of the demo stores interiors around the world. Not that she has ever been in one of it, but the pictures of said stores, as the ones of the long queues in front of them on the first day it was announced the '
new selection'
was available, were everywhere online.
Eleonor groaned and let her phone fall on the table. She was having brunch with her best friend who kept singing random lyrics from the song FUN used for their new ad campaign. It was a slow and sensual cover of
Girls just wanna have fun,
that she had already listened one hundred times.
"Mar, can you just stop? You're gonna give me a headache!"
"Why? It's such a good song!" Her best friend completely ignored her.
"You know it's not about the song, it's the whole thing," she scoffed, "they're just ridiculously overpriced
toys." Good looking, extremely well trained, maybe useful toys but still too expensive. "They might be overpriced, but they sure are worth their price," Maris smirked.
That was suspicious, as it was suspicious Mar's uncharacteristic good mood. "And how would you know?"
"Cause I have one! Didn't I tell you? Fixed my sleeping problems for good. You absolutely need one too! You're so grumpy, you need to relax and to have some fun!" She almost shouted.
"What makes you think I can afford one? How can
you
afford one?" El asked flabbergasted. She had a more than decent job but FUN's sex toys were way out of her range.
Maris just devilishly smiled, "I have an app."
With Mar it was always like that. She knew a place. She knew a person. She knew a website she swore she was the only one to know about it. Most of the times their reliability was highly questionable.
"Here, check it out," she pushed her phone towards her.
El doubtful looked at the name that appeared on the little display. "If this is a scam or even worse one of those who sells dupes and fake ones, I swear..."
"Girl, I told you I have one! It's one hundred per cent authentic and you know I would never suggest buying a fake one! They don't have a proper training!"
And that's how Eleonor downloaded the app
The Warehouse - Overstock, leftovers and pre-loved luxury items.
"They mostly sell FUN returned products from the previous seasons, the ones who got their last chance to
being sold before going back to the company for another round of training and the ones deemed not high
quality enough for the demo stores, the ones that have a... you know, a design flow. But who cares? The discounts are up to 80% off retail! Read here," Mar explained and clicked on the
About Us
section.
"We have your favorite luxury item at the best price! We offer leftovers and pre-owned products at a super discounted price. Worried about the quality? Each product goes through a quality check by our qualified stuff, they thoroughly inspect them for damages, missing accessories and test their functional qualities and physical conditions. We believe in second chance, what about you?"
"And look! You can either buy one online or select a few toys you're interested in, make an appointment and see them with your own eyes at the actual warehouse before buying one!"
"Mar, how much time have you spent on this app? You almost sound like you work for them!"
"Hours, ok? Actually, a whole night, but that's not the point! The point is the app is legit and I already know you'll thank me and kiss the ground I walk on when you'll get your hands on a FUN sex toy."
At that, El rolled her eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes at me! Girl, how do you get off? Please, don't tell me you still use that old plastic
thingy I saw in your room that time! We are not in the Middle Ages!"
El was already convinced, the prices were extremely tempting, there was no need to be so dramatic.
"Ok! Calm down Mar! But I want an appointment and see them for myself." She licked her lips at thought.
