The Grendell Corporation building sure didn't look special to Mark when he started working there in 2005; it was your average monolithic skyscraper. Yet within it's concrete walls lay machines no-one could even think of making.
Mark had been working at Grendell for almost 17 years now. He loved his job as a tester in the Experimental Robotics Branch; many of the machines we now consider normal were first conceived there.
Then came the day Grendell decided to develop the first ''Stimulation Apparatus''; a machine designed for male sexual gratification. It looked more like a tipped-over refridgerator than an actual object of desire. The machine was chromium-plated, with handgrip's at the side. At the front there was a removable foam-rubber lined cavity in which the man could insert his member. After activation, the cavity would vibrate, causing ejaculation within mere minutes. On top of the machine, there was a small screen showing pornographic images.
Mark had the luck of testing this machine.
The machine stood on the 22nd floor, in the middle of a small white room that smelled of desinfectant. In the corner stood a small coat-rack. Mark entered the room feeling anything but aroused. The prospect of having intercourse with a machine wasn't exactly the most romantic thing to do on a thursday morning.
