The last conversation with Aire

-

There's cruelty behind his eyes.
he's a peevish little man and I can't stand that.
I won't have it. I won't tolerate it.
It's a prominent shadow Sophie and I'm surprised at you that you can't see it.
Aire's voice seemed like it was very much coming from inside of a box as Sophie turned the phone to face the ground, She had her trapped inside a conference call and the app itself wasn't the best.

Sophie turned the phone back upright just in time to hear Aire say
"Smug Little Bastard"
He talks like he has a fucking fan base like you're a groupie like you're one of his fucking groupies Soph
Sophie watched the people boarding the T through the train window then focussed a bit back on her own reflection. Her vision blurred into the blue light coming from her phone,

"I need him Aire". 
'yea, well the whole fucking world does, I think, if you listen to him_ he's pretty much the best thing since sliced bread".

Sophie started laughing, "I haven't heard that one in a while"
"What?"
"Sliced Bread".
They both laughed for a second.
It was a nice reprieve from the hot and heavy conversation that had seemingly been going on the whole day, Sophie thought. She couldn't understand why Aire was having such a problem with Al, but she clearly did not like him seemingly  from the minute they both sat down in his office, albeit that Aire was trapped inside of a video call, and Sophie only found out about Aire's problem with him after they left his office.
"Let me tell you why" Aire broke the silence as the half smile faded from Sophie's face.
I've met men like him too many times before. You're beautiful to him because he wants something from you, period. He's an insecure little jerk. The other kids picked on him when he was a kid and he's been seeking revenge by becoming the biggest Douchebag on the playground ever since. he's a social climber, a character actor with small bit roles, a pathetic.

Guys like him derive some kind of perverse pleasure out of hurting other people , embarressing them.
I sense it, even here in this phone, Like Jambi, a head in a box!
Aire screamed Meka leka Hi and Sophie finshed
meka Hiney Hiney Ho, and they both started laughing again.

I love you!, yea you're a C__T
I love you too,
Get somone else to do it Sophie! Don't leave it to someone named the crow to build your world.
Sophie kissed the screen and you could hear a faint Hey Soph_ as Sophie ended the call.
The blue light disapeard from the reflection in the train window
and Sopie sighed

In the early days of Henry Markram’s Blue Brain project research and later the VR industry, people dreamed of one day being able to emulate or record their consciousness and upload it into an avatar. Bio hacks and scientists alike were for the first time perhaps, going to great lengths vying for a strong foothold in what could only be described as a weird combination of Frankenstein singularity and organic biogenetics. All the eyes that had previously been on the neuroscientists in Sweeden were darting back and forth between Virtual Reality headsets and Markram’s research progress waiting for the peanut butter and chocolate to finally meet in a delicious prepacked cup of perfected product. It was not unheard of for a group of hacks to be at the same sort of backroom bio hack party with accredited professors, neuroscientist’s and pharmaceutical administrators morbidly testing the waters and boundaries of using humans as lab rats. A biohacker is any person that combines biolo...

Beyond the Glasses

At first, no one thought that the current form of VR and bulky devices worn over the head or as glasses were anything but prototypes for the scaled-down version of what the fictional nanobots could erect and destroy inside the eye itself. It was considered science fiction and many futurists resisted the idea of using the liquid monsters to connect a person's core. In fact, any mention of the molecular machinery of any type had to be carefully worded and was regulated to the more serious realm of medicine and neuroscience. The idea that an LCD screen could form as easily as an eyelid and recede just as quickly with, well within the blink of an eye, was scoffed at and venomously disregarded as futuristic geek speak or worse, monster strong AI. Regardless, S0phie poured the liquid into her eye before Bailey could tell her anything more about what was inside the Visine bottle and finished the phrase “Bottoms up” before her now frantic and panic-stricken assistan...

The other side

  Tobias never had a sense of belonging. When he was a child the other kids always made fun of him for being different and he carried that into the framework of his reality in this world. He could never shake the fact that he wasn't the right person for his own skin.  On October 3rd, 2021 at 3:45 one beautiful fall afternoon, however, very little of what was the person named Tobias BlackElk remained as he lay a broken and mangled heap in the road. The delivery truck that had hit him remained almost pristine, parked out of the way of traffic with its hazards on. Tobias had been mercifully covered with a drop cloth that the driver found in the back of his cargo hold and only the dusting of some brush and leaves competed with the muffled sounds of a distant police radio and delivery driver recounting the accident. What was left of Tobias's consciousness drifted away towards the west. His thoughts carried him past the heap covered in dusty drop cloth, and beyond the huddled men, d...
