STORY DESCRIPTION Res Publica. An out of control pandemic and a terrified population giving up its freedom to the new Corporate State. It had all changed so fast, and now the brutal Civic Police had unlimited powers over its citizens.
When Assistant District Attorney, Isabel Ruiz, receives a summons to the dreaded Civic Headquarters for a medical exam, she is both bewildered and concerned. Her apprehension turns to outright fear when she discovers that her examiner is none other than the former Dr. Richard Small-a sexual deviant who was caught exploiting his female patients' trust. Worse still, Isabel was the prosecutor who had him put behind bars, and it is clear that revenge is very much on Dr. Small's mind.
Released and reinstated by the Corporate State, Dr. Small now has Isabel at his mercy-and he intends to make the most of it! During a long and terrible day, Isabel is stripped bare and then put through a series of painful and humiliating tests that eventually threaten her very sanity!
The only thought holding her together is that she only has to endure Dr. Small's relentless torments for just one day and then she will be free to leave-but after this soul-crushing ordeal, will she ever be the same proud woman again?
Res Publica: Isabel's Medical Exam is part of a series of novellas drawn from a fictional, but possibly not-too-distant dystopia. The series can be read in any order. |
