Reader note: story is a open for add-ons,but for immersion,it's important to add on after chapter 3. "Another day, another dollar...too bad it's not mine by the time I'm finished with the bills." Tony laments to himself while waiting for a bus ride to his usual job. "Gah I wish I had some way to improve myself more,but I'm stuck with being a p...
They ended up at Holly's house to test Brian's wireless internet access so they didn't have to deal with the morons at the local McDonalds or the coffee shop down the street. Holly was Brian's boss at Willigs. It was his first real job after college and he was very happy with it. Brian was 26 and felt like things were really starting to go his way. To celeb...
Although yet recovered from Melanie's oral treatment, I tried to focus on the data that was coming up on my monitor. The keywords that our sniffing algorithms were finding were significant, and included the names of our two top competitors, along with other pieces of information about an internal research project code-named "blue smoke". We had inserted logi...
The phone was ringing. Stephan rolled over and picked it up. He had been dead asleep when it rang. He knew it was work and that something had broken. Or more to the point somebody broke something. "Sorry to wake you" came the voice over the phone. It was Marie. One of the overnight technical staff. She was hot, Stephan thought. Long dark hair and olive ski...
Chapter Four - On The Run "What the fuck is the dark web?" the woman asked sipping coffee sitting across from LeBron. True to her word, the night before, the woman had lived up to her promise to give Reese something 'special' for dessert. LeBron took the hint and went for a drive after dinner and Reese and the woman rolled around on the bed for good while....
It was shaping up to be a night like any other. Mouse over the Cisco task bar icon and disconnect the VPN used for my work. Although lately, perhaps "work" would be more appropriate. The shift to remote work meant I had a lot of time to kill as my job was not keeping me busy whatsoever. The money is decent though, and it allows me to spend way too...
A funny thing happened on my way home from the airport the other day. No, not funny "ha ha", but funny like strange. I saw my wife sitting on another man's lap, and they were all wrapped up in each other and they were in public too. I had managed to get the client's on-site physical inspection done much sooner than everyone (including me) expected; more tha...
"Sheesh, Jim, and I really thought you'd get through a term without another one of these." I smiled and put the image away, nodding. "Whatever. It's become old hat." I shrugged. "But I know how crazy it's getting with the state, so I'm just doing the right thing here." I had to admit, though, the image lit me up in a way I hadn't felt since...I couldn't qu...
The intern was not your usual 20 year old. Mengxia looked sharp in her crisp white blouse, black skirt, stockings and heels, particularly at this tech company where casual wear was the norm. Her sharp eyes roved around the room and finally landed on me, her manager. She approached with a professional smile. "Hello Mengxia," I said, reaching out my hand, "we...
一 "What, no way this place was built on execution grounds! You're kidding, right?" Marco asked in a cynical tone, his eyes thinned. Then he hung his head back down to his plate, picked awkwardly with his chopsticks through a heap of oily sliced cabbages slathered in red chilis and chopped garlic. "Nope, it's true, I heard it from Jim, the Chinese teacher w...
