“Do you need a break?” hummed Whumpee’s boss, wiping a knife on his jacket sleeve.

Whumpee’s raw fingers clattered over the keys of the keyboard, trying to keep up with what Whumper had said.
“No, sir, I don’t want to be the cog that fails,” he said, his voice monotone and flat despite the important smile on his lips. He didn’t look up, just carried on typing, willing his brain to remember what his boss dictated.

Whumper nodded. “What happens to the cogs that fail?”

“They are discarded and melted down, sir.” Whumpee’s eyes only flicked up from the computer screen as his colleague’s body thudded on the ground. A slight smile that his boss insisted on still there on the dead man’s lips. As it should be, Whumpee thought, his own smile securely on his.

“I knew I was right to hire you, Whumpee.”

“Do You Need A Break?”

The Merry Whump of May - Day 24

[Car Battery | Restraints | Conditioned]
(tw:pet whump, conditioning, electrocution, dehumanization)

Whumpee choked on air, slumping against the ropes as the electricity mercifully zipped into the floor, leaving spasming and trembling muscles in peace if only for a moment. They let out a racked, hoarse sob - blood dripping from their mouth; they didn’t even know how it got there. All they knew was the fire and the electricity and the whitehot blindness that contorted their limbs and sent their mind spinning. 

Whumper laughed lightly, setting down the jumper cables. “What? Do you need a break?”

Whumpee drew in several short, shaky breaths, forcing up the words they loathed. “G-good pets d-d-don-t ask f-f-for br-eaks-s-s-”

Whumper smiled, brushing a thumb over their cheek. “Verygood.”

They turned back to the car battery.
