Brutalia, Days of Labor

Perfectly identical girls work day and night. A matriarchal and oligarchic society. What would happen if we replaced bees with humans? Anna observes the universe of her hive. Not being able to consent to the violence that surrounds her, she’ll have to make a radical decision.
