Scene 13 - KHB Goes Under Total Surveillance

Life really had changed in recent weeks for Merlin. He was getting tired of the things happening around him. His friends were getting married, but to what end? Their husbands just watched porn, and he was forced to only chat with the friends on messengers!!

The final straw really was that morning when he was having his coffee and found people assembled near his house. The KHB Quarters. The woman with 17 kids had died. After that day he completely gave up drinking coffee.

And now came this 27% reservation!! It was time to put and end to procreation. Then reservation will become a non-issue as well. He decided he will devote his life to the noble cause. Stop procreation. Nasbandi!!! A cause that will help the country. A cause that will stop valuable resources being spread too thin.

He quickly worked on how to achieve his objective. He formed the Procreation Is Simply Stupid group, and made himself the President. He quickly got hold of the local cable operator. A long time buddy ever since the days they played gilli danda and later graduated to gully cricket. After he met him, TV images didn't come on in any of the houses. Problem with transmission. He masqueraded as the cable mechanic and entered every house. The wiring had to be fixed, for the soap operas to come back into the houses. It took a few days but was well worth the effort. Every house in his locality was wired up now.

He carefully created a hide-out in his basement and hooked up the links to his viewing room. Fourteen screens were operational full time now. KHB was under the kind of surveillance that the KGB once did. Even better now. It looked like a scene straight out of Sliver. Just that Sharon wasn't around. If someone found out, it would rain Stones though. He reached out and picked the mug of beer and sipped. Ever since he quit coffee, he had taken up to the alternative health drink. He watched. Anyone who tried to procreate was now going to be in 'deep' trouble.
