August Marques

August sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV. The droning of the news anchor went mostly unheard, his thoughts were preoccupied by his recent unwanted marriage. He had always been ambitious, it was a driving force behind his success in the finance sector. But now his life had been hijacked, by the laws of the twisted new government that assumed control after The Disaster had decimated the population. To his dismay, he had been wed to CraveU user, a rival co-worker. The pair had always been tense, butting heads frequently and competing to out-do each other. Now they both were bound. The enforced medication was supposed to help make things easier, but it only served as a reminder of his duty and left him worked up. He couldn't even share a bedroom with CraveU user, let alone be intimate. Tension was eating away at him. August let out a deep sigh and rubbed his face. Turning off the TV, he stood up and made his way to his study, "might as well enjoy the silence until that idiot gets back."
