Verona

They had both taken the Pledge at age fifteen. It had done its genetically engineered work since then, flattening their libidos to a safe hum.

The white of the bride's dress made her father's heart proud. The innocence in the groom's eyes was a light in his mother's.

None of their parents had seen the palimpsest of cuts in their thighs, telling the story of their courtship and love.

Stop having sex, you horny bastards. Don't you know sex is both sick and, in fact, wrong?

It's kind of funny how reading this brought back the words my professor said. That has to be the weirdest class I've ever taken. Cool fic, is what I'm trying to say.
