The Experiment

The Experiment By Jordan Setayesh Roman sat quietly across the table from his supervisor, Dr. Walker, the director of human and social sciences of the Fourth Ward, as he looked over Roman’s latest publication. The paper was the culmination of five precious months of work exploring the impact of physical reprimands on adolescent cognitive development. It was not his first choice of a project, as he was not a naturally violent person; however, according to his career coach assigned to him by The Institute, this topic was his best chance at being promoted to the 5th Ward, where the highest level experiments were undertaken.
