EPISODE 2
"Control... control..." Nick assured himself in a low hiss as he quietly fanned his legs and waited at a traffic junction. The traffic was heavy and scary and he wondered if he'd be able to finish up his shift in ten hours. He leaned onto the wheel and jiggled a leg, praying that the lights would turn green sooner. He just couldn't wait for this day to end, so that he could finally report to the manager and take a much needed leak.
It was a rule that every employee had to report to their respective managers after work. The employee would be scanned to check the contents of their bladder. That was what determined their pay for the day. It had to clock in at minimum 101% to be eligible for pay. The lesser the content, the lesser the pay.
Some employees would try to pull a fast one. Some of them would conveniently open the door and urinate onto the streets, or into a bottle. Then they would drink plenty of fluids to fill up their bladders. But this became problematic as passengers were forced to wait inside the bus till the driver filled up.
Some on the other hand would lose control and wet their light grey pants during work. But with their new technology, all that stopped. The latching device, which latched onto their crotches to start the engine was programmed to let go only at the end of their shift. Till then, they had no go but to hold in all fluids. For those unfortunate many who couldn't control their bladders, the device would alarm the respective manager back at the office. The employee would then be summoned and dealt with accordingly.
