There’s a Bad Taste in My Mouth (Anxiety Garden)

In the dystopian *Anxiety Garden*, a captive is trapped in a waste-processing apparatus that subjects her to forced ingestion and non-consensual stimulation, dehumanizing her for profit. Wealthy captors mock her deterioration and terminal illness, treating her as an expendable demonstration model whose agonizing survival is refined for indefinite abuse. As they sadistically enjoy her decline and prepare for her replacement, a captor briefly questions the apparatus’s mechanics, while the narrative is punctuated by formal copyright attributions.
