”By weight, the human brain is the most valuable resource on Earth.But only if you use it.You can't just keep a pile of them in the basement.Doesn't work.”

2 Weeks Later

--------------------

I wake up, check my phone.People are mad at Captain Industry.Not unusually.I go back to sleep.

I wake up again, head to the shower, turn on the hypno-clone.I'm sleepy.I close my eyes and soak.Rather than perusing profiles, I just put mine up.I hear breathing, sense a presence.Open my eyes.

A massive creature is in the shower with me.She has the head of a bull,big arms, huge saggy breasts, and her lower body is a giant spider.My suspension of disbelief is taking a beating.How is she fitting in my shower?

”What the fuck dude?”

She hangs her head.”Arachnotaurs need loving too.” she whispers.

I erase the walls of my shower.That's a bit better.Seriously tho.Aww, what the hell.I tell her I'm down for whatever this is.Wait!What am I supposed to rub?That little nubby thing?I go fucking crazy on the little nubby thing.

We chat a bit as I wash my hair.She's really nice.I friend her.

I head to my kitchen.A drone delivers a slice of pizza.Dammit!It smells delicious.I check the mushrooms.They appear store bought.I eat it.

I take a more serious look at the news.It's all about Captain Industry and Mr. Brightside.Captain Industry is our handsome, charming, President.Mr. Brightside is the thorn in his side.Apparently, they've had another polarizing debate.

I ignore the commentary, and download their debate.This could be important, best get it first hand.

As I'm settling in to watch, my doorbell rings.I wave my hand, and my hypno-clone edits out my front door.I see a stranger in a suit.He's handsome.

”Come in.”I say.

He walks in.I flicker my VR contacts.He disappears for a second.He's not really here.I don't care.Not sure why I checked.

”Hi.”I say.
