I had so much fun writing a story for the
Literotica 2024 Valentine's Day Contest
,
that I wanted to write one for the April Fools' Day Contest.
Usually, I dive right into the hot sex with my stories (
Found Here
)
, but this is what's sometimes called a "slow burn." You have been warned!
π
And although this story does contain hot sex (this IS Literotica and I certainly DO like the sexy stuff!), I tried to keep the writing in the style of "classic" Sci-Fi, so no super naughty words. But a nice story with a couple of twists at the end (classic Sci-Fi!).
Also, this is my very first Sci-Fi story for Literotica, so please be kind!
Thank you and enjoy!
Love, Frey

"Name?"
"Adam Renovare."
"Identification number?"
"Five, four, five, N."
"Just a few moments, please."
Adam stood before the imposing granite reception desk. His fingers fidgeted with each other as he looked around at the enormous foyer of Vivus, Inc. The floor and walls were of the same mottled gray as the desk. Only the sheen of the highly polished surfaces tempered the industrial blandness of the stone.
The minutes ticked by.
Adam leaned forward. "Excuse me, miss?"
"Just a few more moments," was the dry, emotionless response.
More minutes creeped along.
"You may go in, now." The receptionist pointed to an almost invisible door at the far end of the hall.
"Uh... Thank you, miss."
Without looking up, the receptionist, again, pointed towards the door.
Adam turned and trudged towards the inevitable.
He had turned twenty-five years old last week and the only birthday greeting he received -- if you could even call it a birthday greeting -- was a plain envelope addressed to him. It had no return address or other markings on it.
The single piece of paper inside read:
Adam Renovare, ID No. 05-04-05-N,
Today you have reached your twenty-fifth year.
As you are still unmarried, please report to
your local Vivus, Inc. office at:
785 Industry Drive
to begin your mulier unit assignment.
Please report within twenty-eight (28) days.
Adam waited until the twenty-seventh day.
Entering the non-descript door, a man looked up from a computer screen. "Please sit down." He went back to the screen as Adam sat in the rigid aluminum chair and waited.
Without looking up from the harsh glow of the screen, the man told Adam, "As an unmarried twenty-fiver, you have been assigned a mulier unit. Your mulier unit is ID Number five, twenty-two, E. It will arrive at your house this upcoming Saturday at 2:40 p.m. It will knock on your door. You are to answer the door. The unit will claim that its car has broken down and it needs to use your telephone. You will allow the unit entry into your house. You will then close the door to your house."
He looked up at Adam through horn-rimmed glasses. "Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Do you have any questions?"
"What's a 'twenty-fiver?'"
"You."
"Oh."
"Do you have any other questions?"
"Do you have to call me that?"
"No. Do you have any other questions?"
Adam shifted uncomfortably in the chair. "Um... Won't the neighbors know it's... Uh... Um, an android?"
The man recited, "We have various scenarios to deliver mulier units to twenty-fivers so as not to arouse suspicion. Of course, observers may still have their suspicions, but no one will have any way to know for certain that the mulier unit isn't, in fact, a human. Do you have any other questions?"
Adam looked around the small room. "I guess not."
"Again, the mulier unit's Planetary ID Number is five, twenty-two, E." He handed Adam a small card with those numbers printed on it.
Still uneasy about the entire process, Adam asked, "And the unit will tell me what to do when it gets there?"
"Yes. Do you have any other questions?"
Adam shrugged. "No."
"Please check in with the receptionist on the way out." The man returned his attention to the computer screen in front of him.
"Uh, okay." Adam stood up. "Thanks."
He got no response, so he opened the door and left.
The next three days were very uneasy for Adam. He didn't know what to do with himself or what was going to happen once the unit arrived. People rarely spoke of such things and when they did, it was in hushed, secretive tones. Having a mulier unit assigned to you was shameful. It meant that at the age of twenty-five, you still had not been able to find a spouse. Out of the billions of people on Earth, you had been unable to find someone that loved you and wanted to spend the rest of their life with you.
A mulier unit assignment simply proved that you were a loser in life. Or worse. Completely unlovable.
And Adam guessed that he was.
Both of his parents had passed away. He had no siblings. He had no other relatives that he was aware of. He had no friends. He barely had work acquaintances. Despite all of this, he didn't mind his lonely life. He actually enjoyed being left alone and simply existing. And he certainly didn't want a mulier unit.
No man wanted a mulier unit.
At 2:40 on Saturday afternoon, there was a knock on his front door. Adam had been sitting in his living room waiting for it. He rose and walked to the door. When he opened it, he was greeted by a young woman -- or rather, an android that looked like a young woman.
Resigned to his fate, Adam mumbled, "Hello."
"I am so sorry to bother you, but my car," the unit gestured towards the street, "has broken down. Could I use your telephone, please?"
"Sure, Adam sighed. "Come in."
Once inside, the unit handed Adam its Planetary ID Card.
