The ERSATZ

Ersatzes exist in a world where universal peace, population control and boredom drove people to the edge of violence. The Ersatz was the ideal solution to such social rage!
Angry at your boss?—take it out on your ersatz. That’s what they are for!
Nagged by your wife?—whack your ersatz instead of her!
Have a husband who is cheating on you?—blow your ersatz’s head off!
That’s what they were made for! And there was an endless supply of these android creatures! Even in an over-populated world. Ersatzes could be recycled! Mindless, soul-less inventions of human science, they were the ultimate solution to man’s problems.
Only the National Organization FREE spoke to change things. FREE = For Rising Ersatz Equality!
Only FREE was mad enough to believe that an ersatz might offer much more to its master than simply an outlet for a violent nature.
It was a losing cause, until…
Benny arrived!
And then everything changed!
