    Summary

    Two strangers. One room. Fifty days. No stimuli. £5 million.

    A desperate Penelope enters a study to win £5 million. All she has to do is stay in a stark-white, nearly empty room for fifty days with another person. No technology, no books, no games, no anything. Nothing but a bed, a bathroom, and a person she’s never met for almost two months.

    It seems easy enough, until she steps out of the elevator and sees that her partner is anything but a stranger, and this study is anything but ordinary.

    Written for Polin Week 2025 Day Two: Forced Proximity.
