Be Sure To Read the Fine Print
Rob Jones presented his new app in a closed session to top executives.
Large monitors mirrored the displays of two smartphones.
“With the proliferation of contagious disease and new behavioral codes of conduct in the workplace, we’ve developed a proximity alert app.”
Rob stood a few feet away from his assistant Susan. “Susan, go ahead and run your app.”
Susan ran hers as well. “Ready.”
Rob stepped closer to Susan, and his phone buzzed, then as he closed in on her, a voice on his phone chimed-in, “Proximity too close, acceptance level required.”
Susan’s phone also buzzed and beeped, and on her display, it flashed a proximity alert saying, “Subject too close, swipe to accept.”
Susan swiped to accept, and Rob stepped toward her. They repeated the same procedure every time he came closer.
An exec in the audience raised her hand. “What happens if it’s violated?”
Rob answered, “That’s a good question. We’ve tied into the HR and management networks, and it’ll inform of ongoing violations. It’s up to your company to define the limits. But when there’s a government alert, it’ll reroute to authorities to request approval.”
“What happens if a person isn’t carrying a cell phone?” A male exec asked.
Rob responded, “This is our prototype app for the cell phone. It’ll be included on company badges that’ll know if they are being worn in the workplace.”
“What about public life?” Asked the same male exec.
Rob gestured to his assistant. “Susan, please turn off the recording equipment.”
She did so.
Rob answered, “It’s strictly off-record, but we’ve developed a system that’ll be part of everyone — for health monitoring to combat medical issues and to deal with all social matters.”
“Something ingestible?”—Asked another female exec.
Rob nodded and shook his head. “I can’t say more, just keep an eye out for swallowable devices.” He grinned and winked ... “And be sure to read the fine print.”

8 134Mutant Farmer in the Apocalypse
In the year 2022, one year after the Z-20 Virus outbreak, all of humanity had been infected by the virus, and their bodies reacted differently. The majority of the humans turned into zombies, while the minority turned into ability users. Some didn’t change into either. They were powerless in comparison, as even feral zombies were more powerful than an average human. At 20 years old, Yang Zhang was used as a scapegoat and kicked out of his town; a medium-sized shelter base used to protect humanity from the ever-growing threat of zombie attacks. Scared and powerless against the harsh world infested with zombies, he stumbled upon a squirrel that ate the brain of a dead ability user and began discharging electricity constantly. He realized that he could use this newfound information to protect himself. “That’s right! I can build a farm and create more and more of these mutated animals and plants to protect myself!”Thus started the journey of Yang Zhang as he created a farm while continuously breeding many magical —albeit grotesque— mutated animals and plants. Yet, once the zombies and ability users started noticing his unique farm, they began to invade. With no choice left, he armed himself by creating stronger mutated animals and plants to protect the farm at all cost! “Get off of my lawn, you bunch of greedy pigs!”**Tower Defense + (Mutated) farm simulator + Zombie waifu.**--Original Cover art, using Picrew.Cover + Editor by Silly_FoxThis book is also available in Webnovel and Scribblehub--
