A dog continues to follow orders long after her Master is in the ground.

My first mechsploitation piece, and also technically the first HYPERSIGIL story I've put out.

Heavily revised piece from Empty October 2022, published for the mechsplomicrojam25 over on bluesky! The 1000 word count limit beat my ass.

Many thanks to @ars--synthetica for beta reading, and @maybeelse for the Empty October event I originally wrote this for, without which this wouldn't exist at all!

The breaking wheel.

The wheel that breaks you.

The wheel that makes you dead.

Here's an idea that's currently in my head...

Imagine a whumpee who's badly injured, their body tied to a breaking wheel after having their bones broken one by one as they're left out in the freezing cold elements... A bit later, a caretaker finds them and frees the now unconscious and half-frozen whumpee, carrying the whumpee off to somewhere warm...

-----

They reset every broken bone, which elicits cries and groans of pain from the whumpee, but the caretaker comforts them, the whumpee's injuries are then patched up with bandages, with splints being placed on the whumpee's broken limbs and secured with more bandages before laying the whumpee down on a bed and tucking them in.
