The two teenagers stood before the Kiosk with weapons in hand. They had both brought two baseball bats and stood there staring at it. It was tall, made of what looked like solid steel in a circle with a flashy bright glowing screen in the center. It had been there a week and various gangs had tried to tag it with no success. Paint didn’t adhere to its brushed steel surface. It just stood there defiantly, giving out free money to whomever wanted it. The two had been beating on it for the past hour. The police had even drove on by, one cop actually stopped watched almost disinterested as the two tried in vain to destroy the beast. The cop had driven away, chuckling to himself. Finally, they stopped to catch their breath before it. It glowed happily, mocking the teenagers as they stared at it. Finally one of them approached the monolith and walked into its circle of steel and glowing power. “NO! You won’t ever be able to have kids!” Shouted the other young man. His friend stopped short of the circle and turned, smirked at him then stepped in. The glowing screen flashed, “Welcome!” The kiosk shouted in a overly friendly almost comical tone.
Nervously, the other teenager fidgeted just outside. The kiosk went on, “Thank you for participating in our population control and subsidy project. This kiosk will irradiate the willing participant rendering him or her sterile for life. This process is painless and without any known side effects. You will be compensated $20 for your participation. Repeated exposure is harmless. If you are sure you wish to participate, please press the accept button.”
“Don’t do it Man!”
“I’m going to do it…” the teen grinned and he pushed the large red button on the touch screen. Twenty dollars slid out of a slot into a holder. The teen picked it up and shoved it into his pocket. The kiosk glowed, “Thank you for your participation in our population control and subsidy project. You may now leave the kiosk.”
“I don’t get it, there wasn’t a light or a beep or anything. Are you sure it works?”
The other teen laughed. “No.. Go ahead, get some free money and we can get some drinks.”
