Zara’s husband is away so Cecile, her good friend from university, has been invited to stay. Zara has opened champagne and they’ve enjoyed a delightful afternoon, catching up on news. Now, as she fills the glasses once again, she says,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;‘My dear Cecile, I have something rather extraordinary to tell you. I have a good  friend called Rosa and she’s a scientist. She’s very clever and she’s been working for a company in Lyon that has been trying to produce a robotic male sex doll. Well, after many years of research, it seems they’ve just come up with a prototype. Rosa asked me if I want to take part in some sort of testing and market research and I said yes. Basically that means spending a weekend alone with this sexbot and then filling in a consumer questionnaire afterwards. I had arranged to do this next weekend. However, it was delivered this morning, about an hour before you arrived. I called Rosa and she apologised for the mistake. She said the girls from the lab will collect it tomorrow morning at ten. So, Cecile, I don’t know how you feel about this….’&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Medical Test</title><link>/stories/2010/09/27/medical-test/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2010/09/27/medical-test/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It must be two am. As you lie awake in your bed in that hospital room, unable to sleep, you think about the days ahead, the friends who visited, and then you smile when you remember what happened when Daniel came into your room and sat on the edge of your bed the day before, and the horny things he said. You lick the tip of your finger and gently caress the tip of a nipple. Unable to resist, you slip your hand down between your legs. You close your eyes, hoping that an orgasm might lead eventually to sleep.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Mummification Pole</title><link>/stories/2003/09/12/the-mummification-pole/</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2003 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2003/09/12/the-mummification-pole/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s a what?&amp;rdquo; asked McBride.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;A Mummification Pole. That&amp;rsquo;s what we&amp;rsquo;re calling it at the moment, but
it probably needs a sexier name. I know it&amp;rsquo;s late Mr McBride, but if you&amp;rsquo;re
free right now, I can bring it up to your office and you can have a look
at it.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;O.K. Steve.  Bring it up.&amp;rdquo; Alec McBride  hung up, sat back
into his sumptuous leather chair and let out a long deep sigh. He glanced
at his watch and saw that it 
was close to midnight. &amp;lsquo;Fuck &amp;rsquo;em&amp;rsquo; he thought. He got up from his desk.
He walked over to the drinks cabinet at the far end of his large office
and poured out 
a large Jack Daniels.  Probably his last, he thought as he wandered
back to the window and gazed out at the impressive view of the city, illuminated
by a million tiny streetlamps.  His head was filled with all things
he should have said at the board meeting which had ended an hour before.
He had been Chief Executive of Innovations Incorporated for less than a
year and now it seemed that the board wanted him to resign - just because
company shares had been spiraling downwards for a couple of months.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
