This story takes place in a brutal fictional society where the government rules with fear and an iron fist. In the real world no one should ever endure anything even remotely close to this fictional society.
A knock on her apartment door interrupted Samantha's trek to the laundry room. She set down the basket of dirty clothes and went to see who was at the door. Her heart skipped a beat when she opened the door to find two Continence Enforcement Officers. "Samantha Paulson?"
"Y...y...yes", she stammered.
"We've received a report that you may have violated the Continence Regulations earlier this evening. Specifically that you failed to maintain bladder continence and then did not self report the incident within ten minutes as required by law. You must come with us to the Continence Enforcement Examination Center."
Samantha gasped as the officer grabbed her arms, placed them firmly in the small of her back, and slapped handcuffs on her. She immediately regretted not calling to report her accident. Her mind raced, maybe she would still be able to get out of this somehow, after all she'd already showered and changed her pants. Her hopes were quickly dashed when she heard one of the officers say, "Better search the apartment."
Within a minute the second officer found the laundry basket where Samantha had set it down when the officers knocked on the door. "The proof is right here." Samantha cursed under her breath as the officer held up her soaked panties and jeans. Her face blushed with shame as the officer placed her piss soaked clothes in plastic bags marked: EVIDENCE.
Soon the officers were escorting her through the halls of her apartment building to the waiting transport van. Samantha felt humiliated as a few of her neighbors smirked when they saw the handcuffed woman's wet panties through the clear plastic of the evidence bag the officer carried out. She knew word of her plight would spread like wildfire through the apartment complex.
When the officers opened the door of the van Samantha saw she was not the only citizen to run afoul of the Division of Continence Enforcement that evening. She took an empty seat between two women, sitting on the other side of the van was a man and two more women. As the van began to drive away Samantha noticed she was the only arrestee to be wearing clean pants. The man in his 30s had a large wet stain in the lap of his khaki pants, a young woman in her 20s wore yoga pants with a wet crotch, a woman in her 40s had wet blue jeans, another woman in her 40s had wet stains on her skirt, and a woman in her 50s had wet her gray slacks. Because everyone was sitting down she couldn't see the seat of anyone's pants, but a distinct odor told Samantha that one of her fellow prisoners had suffered from bowel incontinence as well as a bladder accident.
The van eventually arrived at the Continence Enforcement Examination Center. When the door of the van opened, Samantha saw they were parked in front near the main entrance; there would be no sneaking in a discreet side entrance, they were to be paraded in the main entrance to bring the maximum embarrassment. When they had all exited the van Samantha saw the woman in blue jeans was the culprit responsible for the fecal odor during the ride.
The 6 incontinent prisoners were led through the lobby and into a room lined with windows made of one way glass. Samantha had read some articles about the Continence Enforcement Examination Center and had also gossiped with some friends about casual acquaintances who had inadvertently violated the Continence Regulations. Samantha knew the whole process was open to public viewing; she was certain there were witnesses on the other side of the windows. Each prisoner was told to stand on strategically placed markers on the floor, Samantha was sure the placement of the markers gave the witnesses the best view of each prisoner. Samantha was grateful she was wearing clean pants so no one would see her in wet clothes.
A Continence Examination Technician came into the room carrying a clipboard. The Examination Technician addressed the embarrassed group of pants wetters: "We will begin examinations, all aspects of the examination are audio and video recorded so please make sure to speak loudly enough for your responses to be picked up by the microphone. Jane Erving, step forward."
The young woman in yoga pants timidly stepped to the Examination Technician. The wet stain in her crotch and bottom of her buttocks was a darker pink than the rest of the pale fabric.
