EXTRACT FOR
Simulated Submission
(Crimson Rose)

More than thirty-seven million people from one hundred countries entered Simcox's contest but only three would win. After her interview on Tech Talk, Doctor Ellie Caine went on more than a dozen more shows touting her company's newest technology and drumming up sales numbering in the hundreds of thousands from individuals and businesses alike. But before production began a new facility had to be built and winners had to be announced. On Friday, the first of September she once again guested on Tech Talk ??" now hosted by a talented, beautiful, and hilariously funny tech savvy caramel skinned black woman named Addyson Moore.

After a brief discussion on the contest and the technology involved, Ellie withdrew a sealed envelope from her purse. "This is it ladies, gentlemen and others" she exclaimed. "Inside this envelope are the names of our three winners." Slowly tearing the envelope open for added suspense, she withdrew a piece of paper and unfolded it. "And in no particular order the winners are: WKNW's very own news reported Myra Hackman, professional gamer Roxanne Prescott and software engineer Gavin Shepherd. Congratulations!"

"Congratulations indeed," Addyson added. "Not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous. You sure you're not holding out on a fourth machine?"

"I wish I could tell you we have a million of them ready to start shipping out, but the sad truth is until we get our manufacturing facilities up and running we only have the three prototypes. What I can say now that the winners have been announced is that due to the potential for graphic adult content their scenarios will be broadcast live on pay-per-view and to members of a website that will be going live next week."

"Graphic adult content? Do tell."

"Well, I don't want to give anything away, but anything is possible. Will our contestants find love, resort to murder ??" simulated of course, to escape their predicament, or something else entirely? Only they'll know in the moment so we'll have to stay tuned."

"When you say love?"

"Sex," Ellie unashamedly answered. "Not gonna get anyone's hopes up and say it will definitely happen, but it has been programmed into the simulation if they choose to go that route."

"And murder?"

"Murder was perhaps the wrong word to use. What I meant to say is they'll be faced with many obstacles along their virtual journey that will test their every conviction. For fear of giving too much away I won't go into any more details than that. Switching gears for just a moment, I would like to personally thank everyone across the globe for their overwhelming support for our newest technologies including our patented nanotech clothing and line of sex toys. To that end I've brought a special gift for each and every member of the studio audience and you," Ellie said, pulling a small metal box from her purse which she handed over to the show's newest host.

"Thank you," Addyson said, taking the box from her guest. Opening it, she looked down at a small, sleek black butt plug. "Oh my!"

"Each of you have been gifted one of our most popular sex toys. The nanoplug two-point-oh may look unassuming now, but at its fullest it will grow to a whopping ten inches long and four inches wide."

"Holy...wow!" Addyson gasped.
