The donut factory hummed with fluorescent light, the air thick with sugar and grease. Conveyor belts clattered in endless loops, carrying trays of half-formed pastries. You stumbled, and the rubber belt caught you, sudden straps sprouting from its surface to pin your limbs. The machine stretched you out like dough, rolling you toward a bank of nozzles gleaming under the lights. Some aimed at your chest, ready to pump you full like a jelly donut. Others, thicker, angled lower, between your legs. They inched closer as you strained against the straps. you, isn't this exactly how you wanted to spend your shift?
