THE HSR IS WRAPPED TIGHTLY IN SOME THERMAL CLOTHES AND WITH
GOBS OF HOT CHOCOLATE, AS HE IS TRAVELING IN HIS HOT AIR BALLON, BUT THIS IS NO
ORDINARY BALLON, BECAUSE IT COMES WITH A LARGE LIVING CHAMBER, WITH ALL OF THE
AMENITIES OF HOME, INCLUDING WINDOWS TO SEE THE PLANET EARTH, AND THE MOON, A
FUNCTIONING KITCHENETTE, A BATHROOM AND A MEDIA CORNER TO KEEP IN TOUCH AND
SHARE WITH HIS 500 MILLION FOLLOWERS HIS LOW ORBIT SIGHTSEEING TOUR, AND HIS SPECIAL "CLOUD BED" TO GET A “UNIQUELY HEAVENLY SLEEP,” because all of this is being
video documented for posterity and a reality show, and to show your “I have a
bad case of acrophobia, even when I put on high-heels!” smile, that it is a
little risky being an adventurer!

“Someone told me to live life as an action adventure. I did.
Now, I’m surviving by my wits!”
Quick background: I
just wish I was back home, at the club, nursing my favorite sip—blended fresh
orange juice and ice, with two cherries on top! After testing out the new
stacked smile my dentist blessed me with, I caught the eye of this fine woman. But
after looking deep into the forbidden areas of her eyes, I am transported into a new reality and find
myself in unprecedented dangers, escaping trouble fast, attracting deadly enemy fire,
and being hotly pursued by heavily armed drones with a bad-attitude human…and
that’s just for starters!
Dressed in an astronaut-looking suit, I’m being chased by
flying robots, down a street in this bright-lights, high tech city that’s
totally new to me.
I turn quickly into a storefront. A woman dressed almost
like me, stops me as if she was waiting there for me, hands me a small box and
tells me to put it into the wrist compartment of my space suit quickly!
After doing so, we try to run out of the back of the store,
where we are immediately cornered in back and in front by the drones and that commanding
human.
They want the small box I was just handed, but I’m not about
to give it up. It just might be my ticket to surviving this…mess!
Just as the drones start to shoot first and ask questions
later, the floor opens and the girl and I fall through, safely out of the way…
…and the drones start shooting and their bullets hit the
other drones, and they knock each other out of commission, with sparks flying
everywhere.
But the human that was with the drones wasn’t hurt. That’s
more proof that I’ll take brains over A.I. any time!
We both land on the floor below not hurt.
The woman said, “Let’s move…It’s too hot to stay here any
longer!...You’ve got the box, right?”
While high-tailing it out of there, I answer, “Yeah, right
here in my wrist compartment. What’s inside?” I ask.
She says, “The code key…it’s one of only two left…we must
keep it safe if we want to ever survive!”
We hop into a vehicle without tires and zoom down a corridor
quickly. I know the robots are pursuing us and we’ve got to get as far away as
possible.
“So, what is this fight about, with the drones and all, and
that person back there,” I ask.
She responds, “By the way, my name is Gem. I was told that
you were coming. Here, drink this. Oh, press the button on the neck of your
suit to open the face part.”
Feeling around the neck parts on my suit, I find the button,
press it, and my visor opens up. Taking a long gulp, I can tell this is…orange
juice…my favorite…but it has something else in it.
“What’s this? “ I query.
“Potentiated orange juice. All the nutrients to survive a whole
week are in there,” Gem confides.
We take a sharp right turn, then left, then head back up to
what must be the street surface. I don’t hear any rumblings in back of us by
those robot pursuers.
I start, “Gem, my name is…”
She cuts me off, “I know who you are, I know why you’re
here, and I know I’ve got to get you to command ASAP!”
“Oookay!,” I end.
“Press the red button on your right wrist. That activates
the laser decimater that blasts out from your fingertips. Careful, though.
It’ll cut through ten feet of steel like a wet paper towel,” Gem warns.
The vehicle stops and we jump out. I follow her to an old
door. She opens it and looks out both ways, then we walk fast down the street
we’re on now, while looking out for drones and other threats.
“Almost all of the people walking on the streets of this
city have been processed and had thought limiters placed in their brains, so
that they just work and sleep, without really living life,” Gem reveals.
She continues, “Our numbers of RLs…”
I interject, “RLs?”
Gem say, “Real Livers. Our numbers are getting less almost
every day. When we are spotted engaging in anything outside of the very
mundane, and especially having fun, and dreaming, we stand out. When that
happens to the point to where it can be seen, then the cameras pick it up, and
then come the drones to escort us away. When we are returned back by them, we
are programmed to just do our jobs and that is it!”
I observe, “Dang, that’s the easiest way to get total worker
compliance, and 100% productivity!”
But that’s not all…,” Gem relates. “After people give thirty
years of service, they are “disappeared" and are turned into “organic resource
material.””
Gem concludes, “I’m trying to make sure of that, but none in
our network have been able to confirm where these places are, and what exactly
is done with us.”
As she peers from behind a building, she puts her hand to my chest, signaling for us to hide back
around this corner…
…she senses something coming…
About ten drones in tight formation are whirling and
whizzing down the walk way.
They pass us by, with no hint of them noticing us…
But just to be on the safe side, some thing tells me to turn
on the laser decimater…
I slide it to on ever so slightly…
But that small disturbance is picked up by the last drone in
the formation…
…and with a terminating look on its face, it turns our way,
and alerts the other killer drones to our presence…
I spread my fingers out, and aim them in the directions of
the drones…
…and fire ten laser shots at once to melt them…
…but they get off some shots of their own…
I turn to Gem, we duck for cover and…
TO BE CONTINUED…
