Jerry's Writing Twitter.
Behind this cut is today's sampling of either Micro-Fiction or Cereal for Twits... Err... Twitter Serials.
21:03 "What the hell was that, Jimmy?" I ask him. "You've carried these before, right? I know you've seen them. Is this normal?" #
21:06 "You felt it, too?" He asks, beaming as if he's just discovered the cure for cancer. "Like someone just killed off your sister?" #
21:10 "Yeah. So it's not normal - and, wait - you already watched it?" Jesus, I can't believe this guy. "Why not just tell me about it?" #
21:18 "Because, Jack... how the hell are you going to solve this mystery without having seen it?" he says. "Don't judge me. This is Kyon, man." #
21:21 "I didn't sign up to solve a goddamned thing. I ain't no cop. Even when I was a cop, I wasn't a fucking detective. Stop wasting my time." #
21:24 "All I want to know is how a memory print that wasn't in my head was able to make me sob like a schoolgirl. Any ideas on that, kid?" #
21:27 "Well, there are known psychological disorders where one feels an attachment or an actual emotional bond to a celebrity they admire." #
21:31 "Okay, so, somewhere between the amazingly quick downward spiral my life has taken and the time of her death, I fell in love with Myung." #
21:34 "Don't be an ass," he says. "I'm not sure, myself. I was a fan, I assumed you were, too. Everybody loved her. But this - this is too much." #
21:38 "Yeah, you're right. It's too much for a pathetic, drug-addled asshole wastebasket like myself. I'm not going down this road," I say. #
21:41 His face tenses up - I think I'm getting to him. "I still believe in you, Jack. Everyone else may discount you, but I won't." #
21:43 "You know what I believe in, Jimmy?" I ask, moving and rifling through my things. Finding a syringe, I toss it at him. "I believe in this." #
21:48 "Nanites? Jesus, Jack, this is the kinda shit you're into? No wonder you're so fucked in the head these days." He's pissed, but concerned. #
21:49 How touching. I got hooked on nanites a few years back - number one drug in the region, these days - though "drug" is a pretty loose term. #
21:51 Nanites are nanomachines that were designed for brain augmentation surgery. They can cure neurological and psychological disorders. #
21:52 But, good science always begets bad science. They delved into personality modification, and eventually, mood manipulation. Like Nano-LSD. #
21:53 But, if you want a steady income, you need return buyers. So, of course, these machines not only augment your mood,but force an addiction. #
21:56 "Don't judge me," I say, repeating his words. "I'm not," he returns. "But if you want, I know a guy - there are nano-therapies to help you." #
