You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world

Been reading "Nineteen Eighty-Four" again. Each time I read it, I spot another piece of Orwells fiction that has been made a reality by the Government of today.

This got me thinking, When the ministry of Love comes to get us, and throws us into Room 101 what will be waiting there for each of us?

For me, it would be fire. My fear is not of fire as such, but of being burned. Can't think of a worse way to go than being burned to death. This is what the ministry would use to break me.

    Great book.

    For me it would have to be wasps, I hate the buzz they make.

    Fuck rats! I've never fancied being eaten alive by a large predator (one of those kamchatka or polar bears wouldn't be good) - let's say it was half hungry and playful and just wanted to snack and nibble too, first.

    ...and you'd been fed hallucinogens an hour or so before you went into the room.

    Not so much what's in it but the fear of leaving 101 to find a post apocalytic wasteland populated by mutated animals, raiders, slavers and super mutants

    If you want a vision of the future, imagine a room full of people saying "Oh, Orwell had it so right, we're living in 1984, Big Brother is watching us" - forever. That's what's in room 101.

    I actually can't think of anything. I'm terrified of big spiders, but I don't think they'd crack me. Same for heights, stick me somewhere high with the possibility of falling and I'd rather fall that give up on my principles.

    They'd probably have to use conventional torture on me.

    Can I put all men in there....or at least the ones that seem intent on destroying my confidence and ruining my reputation. And if you're going to dump my ass....leave me the hell alone afterwards rather than leaving me to get over you then coming crawling back......Am I bitter oh yes.

    that might be the cleverest answer to any thread on BR to date*. i like it.

    *apart from xtreem's 91 degree head angle reply from ages ago which is my all time fave reply.
