The Black Bubbles

All around campus there are these little black balls, like hanging alien eggs. Glossy, obsidian bubbles concealing cameras that record time-stamped, audio and hi-def video. Could this surveillance footage ever be sent to parents? *Imagining letters sent to parents about campus/dorm surveillance* Dear Mr & Mrs Vionet, we have observed countless kisses, disheveled morning walks and late night visits which indicate that your daughter is a scandalous little wh0re. We just wanted you to know, in case you want to know more. As campus security it’s part of our business to keep a full, digital record, detailing her sluttines$s. Your friends in campus security. P.S. Would you care to donate to the University endowment fund?
