For current reasons. Hope it remains fiction.
And DON'T PANIC and stay healthy.
No sequels are planned so far. But who knows how long I can't get out.
Covid 21
Elisa hadn't slept much that night again. Damn gas mask. But safety first. The damn virus had almost destroyed civilization, but they were still alive. In the beginning it had been like a light flu, then like a heavy flu, killing millions of the old, but after countless mutations, it now hit young healthy people.
But it had taken months and in an unprecedented effort, the industry had switched to protective clothing. She worked in a former tire factory and was busy on the assembly line making protective rubber clothing. Allegedly the government had forced all manufacturers of fetish clothing to disclose their production methods and help the industry to ramp up mass production.
Their morning routine had become much easier. She couldn't take off her clothes and washing failed. Normal food was also not possible with the gas mask. She just changed the bag of nutrient pad and went back to work.
On the street all people like her wore a heavy rubber suit with gas mask. They differed only by the colour and of course by the number printed on the back and on the chest. She was a worker and wore black accordingly. The medical staff wore their traditional white and the security staff blue.
There was not much going on in the city. Cars stopped driving, they didn't want to make climate change worse, the two months of hot summer last year had already caused enough deaths. And you needed the rubber from the old tires to recycle them into protective clothing. And now that the population was only thirty million, the railways were more than enough for everyone. More than ninety percent of the old people had died. So the over forty year olds. Only the very young, those under twenty, had lost only fifty percent. They had held out long enough until there were enough protective suits to escape the increasingly severe mutations.

At work it was monotonous as always. She worked on the line for 12 hours without interruption. She glued one suit after another. She always put glue on the pre-cut latex parts and then glued them together. She was at the left shoulder station.
After work she went to her weekly cleaning. The converted car wash was no longer used for cars, but now people were disinfected here. The queue was not very long today and she only had to queue for an hour.
As always, the first thing she did was a rough pre-cleaning with high-pressure jets. The three people who served this always had fun aiming at the sensitive areas like breasts and shame with women like her. But she did not mind. In fact, it turned her on. Nothing else was as intense as a high-pressure water jet. The rubber was too thick to satisfy herself.
At the next station, she was disinfected from the outside and given her paralytic shot. Safety regulation, so that she could not be attacked by any of the cleaning staff while unclothed. She would be awake, but could not move. She felt helpless and exposed.
Masked women took off her necklace which served as a seal for the suit and stripped her. Also the hated mask with the stomach tube was removed. It was put on an assembly line and was passed on to the next station. Cold water jets from a high-pressure cleaner cleaned them from head to toe. First the front and then, after it was turned on its stomach, the back as well. She smelled the acrid smell of the disinfectant, but she could not defend herself.
"Your order says that you wish to upgrade your mask. The new Huawei mask Q42 Pro with screen and integrated headphones. If you really want it, please blink twice."
said the woman at the cleaning station.
Elisa blinked twice. She had wanted such a mask for months and finally it was available in Germany. The worker looked briefly at the sales brochure.
"The mask will cost you 12.000 Euro. Are you sure you can afford it?"
asked the worker.
Elisa blinked twice again. She was employed in a factory that only paid the minimum wage, but only because she wanted to get out and was bored at home. Her parents had left her not only a house, but also a well-filled bank account. The shares were worth almost nothing, but she had no money worries. Just boredom. So she was busy doing meaningful things.
"Fine, it is your money. I just see your supplies cost the same. Are you really so horny that you need a built-in vibrator?"
she asked again.
Elisa blinked twice again.
