《Baby boy》Chapter 15
Advertisement
Getting my things ready to leave work I rush because I know Jodie doesn't like to wait.
Logging out of my computer I sign out before walking outside and I don't see him. Looking down at my watch I sigh before looking around.
"Come on Jodie". I mumble to myself still looking around.
Realization hit me and I look in my purse grabbing the keys. Walking over to the car I get in and start it up.
Since JoJo was at my mom's house I took a shower and decided to play cards by myself since there was nothing else to do.
Picking up the phone I dial Sharikas's number.
"Hey, girl what you doing have you made up with Jodie yet". She said answering the phone.
"No, I ain't thinking of his ass". I said shuffling the cards.
"Yeah right, Jodie know that's his pussy". She said causing me to shake my head.
"Ain't nobody putting up with his bullshit no more girl". I said looking out the window.
"Aye I feel you I definitely feel you". She said and I could hear Chris in the background running his mouth.
"Girl tell that nigga to shut the hell up". I said causing her to laugh.
"He's just drunk". She said and I roll my eyes.
"Wait a minute girl these niggas be tripping when they think they own yo ass see you need to check they ass". She said causing me to raise an eyebrow.
"Nigga shut the fuck up you see I'm on the got damn phone shut yo Motherfuckin ass up until I get off the god damn phone". She yelled causing me to pull the phone away from my ear.
"Well Jodie done crossed my last nerve I ain't putting up with his bullshit no more you know what I'm saying, girl". I said playing with the cards.
"I know what you talking about". She said as I leaned back into the chair.
"I been thinking about us getting back together and everything but I gots to teach his ass a lesson you know what I'm saying girl I ain't even gone lie I miss his ass like shit but I can't have nobody acting like they own me you feel me girl". I said pushing the cards away.

"Ahh, I feel you ooo I feel you, girl, I got to go". She said causing me to scrunch up my face and hang up the phone.
"That nasty bitch" I say to myself as I laugh.
Hearing a knock on the door I stand up not sure of who it was and then I thought it could be Jodie coming to apologize.
Opening the door I see Rodney standing there.
"Oh shit". I say smacking my lips.
"What's happening baby I'm home". He said walking in.
"Damn what you got to eat up in this motherfucker". He said causing me to scrunch up my face.
"Who told you that you could just walk your ass up in here nigga you need to go". I said still standing in the doorway with the door open.
"Man quit playing". He said snatching me away from the door and closing it.
"Okay, but who the hell told you that you could stay HERE". I said mugging him as he took a seat on the couch.
"My P.O. seen all them letters you was writing me". He said getting comfortable.
"Okay but that doesn't mean I want you staying here I have a whole child I don't bring other niggas that's not his father around him". I said and he waved me off.
"I can't believe this shit". I mumbled to myself walking to the back.
Going up to the counter I pay for my liquor before walking out and seeing some young dude riding my bike.
"Get yo ass off my Motherfuckin bike". I say running after the boy that was on it.
Out of nowhere another one ran up and grabbed my liquor from my hand causing me to turn around.
"What up, huh cuz, Alizé we got cuz". He said running over to his friends.
"Man, you lil niggas don't want to see me homie". I said mugging them all looking them up and down.
"Man what, what you say". They said walking up on me.
"Man I'll fuck you up you don't know who you fucking with". The one with braids said.

"So do something". I said and they started hitting me but I was getting some good licks in as well.
When I felt more of them I still kept swinging until I realized I wasn't gone win so I started blocking their hits.
"Nobody want yo punk ass bike cuz". The one riding it said before getting off of it.
Getting up I get on the bike and start riding to Pea's house.
Riding into his yard I stumble off the bike and limp up the stairs swinging their screen door open falling to the ground.
"Oh my god, Pea". His ole lady said trying to look over me.
"Aww shit damn Jodie what happened". Pea asked looking over me.
"I got jumped". I said trying to rotate my jaw.
"You got jumped by who". He asked and I groaned.
"By some Lil niggas at the store". I said closing my eyes.
"Some Lil niggas Kim go get my gun". He said and I open my eyes.
Kim got me cleaned up and we went riding around looking for them.
"That's then right there". I said pointing over to the park bench they was sitting at.
Getting out the car we jog over and stand in front of them.
"Get yo ass on the ground". I heard Pea say and one of them tried to run so I held my gun up making him go back.
"What's all that shit you was talking now lol homie". I ask as he got down on the ground.
Checking their pockets to see if they had anything they didn't have nothing.
"Pea these niggas ain't got no money man broke ass Lil niggas". I said walking over to him.
"Fuck all that bullshit y'all niggas stand up I'm gone teach y'all how to respect y'all, elders". He said and they all got up standing in a line.
Going down the line I look at all of them until I came across the one that took my bike and I punched his ass.
"That was a nice ass punch, Jodie Jo". Pea said dapping me up.
After that, we knocked all their asses down.
"Get yo ass up bitch". I said looking down at the one I just punched.
"Come on man my jaw hurt". He said whining holding his mouth.
"Get yo ass up I don't give a fuck about your fucking mouth hurting you punk ass nigga". I said and he smacked his lips before standing up.
Acting like I was going to hit him he flinched away.
"Don't flinch nigga standstill, I said don't flinch". I said punching him.
"Flinch don't move or I'll hit you with two chunk that shit up Lil nigga". I heard Pea say and I look over and see the boy holding his head up high.
"Awww shit he got heart that's nice". Pea said laughing looking over at me.
"You got heart nigga". He asked him.
"You got heart cuz go head and tell us". I ask walking over to them.
He nodded causing us to laugh and nod.
"Don't fuck with him Pea he got heart let him make it". I said walking away from them.
"I ain't gone hit him Nah I ain't gone sick you nigga cause you got heart and I can respect that you ain't no punk ass mark like the rest of Yo homeboys". He said as I took a seat at the bench.
"Let him go, Pea". I said looking around.
"But I am gone whoop yo ass".He said taking off his belt and hitting him.
"Whoop yo Motherfuckin ass". He said as he whooped him and the boy fell to the ground like he caught the Holy Ghost causing me to laugh.
After he got done whooping him we walked back in the car getting in.
Today was fucking crazy I give you that...

the Mediator
Award-winning rock musician Kris Maya had just held a ground-breaking concert, with an arena packed with his most die-hard fans. His songs that contemplated the human condition: desires, love, pain, loss, fantasy and reality, and his philosophy towards life have garnered a great number of people to follow his every move and as he strummed the last chord that signaled the end of his song, he stumbled in pain and collapsed. With a smile, he closed his eyes on the curtains of his final concert in this life. As the applause of his show turned to become murmurs of worry and disbelief, he was happy and excited. Still, he felt that he was ready and he was anticipating his return to the world where all his past mistakes left a grueling and bloody mark on its history. This world that he filled with his music had taught him many lessons. In Earth, the power of music served as his gateway to learning. When he returns to his former world, his overwhelming power of magic will teach others the same lessons; the bloodshed being the only difference. It was now time to pay it forward.
8 90A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
