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.”

Dark Street
Life comes at you fast, and Julian Marco’s life is one flat tire away from being the worst kind of country song. But the blues may soon feel like an afterthought, once Julian wakes up in a hellish shadow dimension, with no idea how he got there or why. Forced to fight for his very survival may cost him his remaining sanity. Well, that or the fresh pair of fangs and burning lust for blood. Little does Julian realize what happens in the darkness could have drastic consequences for the rest of earth. And discoveries await that may just contain some dark secret from humanity’s ancient past. Note: This is a story I wrote years ago. It isn't complete, but I had a lot of fun with it. Since my primary focus is on Evil Eye: Hexcaller, chapters will be slow to update. I'm going to shoot for once a week, but we shall see! I hope you enjoy it!
