The spread of a mysterious illness has made any contact with unfiltered air near-instantly fatal, forcing humanity to survive within specially constructed bubbles. Sex - or indeed any other form of skin-to-skin contact - has ceased to exist. That doesn't stop former full-body-pool player and accidental matricide Colin Hinchcliff from wanting it, though, or from lusting after the alluring stripper known as Siren.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Meanwhile, a Serial Killer called Kill Ball is on the loose. Wearing a pitch-black bubble with an extendable knife, he specialises in killing strippers by puncturing their bubbles. And as Colin tries to impress Siren, he ends up right in Kill Ball's path.Kill Ball is a Bizarro Fiction novella by Carlton Mellick III.This novella contains examples of the following tropes:

Artistic License – Biology: Humans turn out to be evolving into two different new species. Not humanity, mind you - individual humans, within a single lifetime, are transforming into new species. It's stated outright that this is nowhere close to how evolution works, but it's still what's happening in the story.

Ambiguous Disorder: Colin's thought process is decidedly off, especially where Siren is concerned (he never seems to consider that her dancer persona is probably not the same as her real self, or even that "Siren" probably isn't what her mother named her), but it's hard to tell just how stupid / insane he actually is and in what way. Especially since the entire world he lives in is also decidedly off.
