Piece of Cake

Piece of Cake

Time and place: The future. A desolate, urban community. The world is a gray dystopia, where a sexually transmitted plague has made human contact dangerous. Intimacy has become a foreign concept to the surviving population, whose only glimmer of hope is the promise of a piece of cake dispensed by a mysterious cake provider who might very well be ruling the government.
