Pleasure Doll: Unexpectedly Becoming a Doll for Men

Bert can’t seem to hold down a job. A string of bizarre, unlucky incidents has left his résumé looking like a warning label, and the agency that used to place him has finally cut him loose. With options running out, he takes the only work still on offer: a near-minimum-wage night-shift cleaning job that nobody keeps longer than a couple of months.

For a while it’s just another quiet graveyard gig—empty offices, headphones, and the hum of vacuum cleaners after midnight. Then his boss moves him to a handful of solo locations. One of them is a facility that manufactures hyper-realistic adult pleasure dolls.

At first it’s simply another building to scrub. But the longer Bert spends alone among the unfinished bodies, the racks of lingerie, and the soft, lifelike faces staring back at him, the harder it becomes to ignore the strange new curiosities budding in his mind.
