Virus Alert 2170
It’s that time of the year again when the occasional deadly virus is hitting the streets. Luckily it's not an airborne virus this year, but citizens of the globe are still required to stay indoors as they disinfect the globe with the help of an army of Bugo Bots.
Some of us do not like to be confined to their homes, aerial tiny houses, pods, spacecrafts, and the likes, although for the majority of us this may not be much of a change at all. After all, for the many who work in the “V” (Virtual Reality Network), this incident is nothing more than a blip on their screen.
For the rest of us who still step out to the “Real” on occasion, it’s time for “hermitage” mode. Hopefully, if we all hunker down for a bit this can end sooner.
If you do not have your virus survival kit intact please have your designated non-organic android buddy get any necessary equipment for you now. Make sure your buddy is indeed purely tech and that they have sanitized their external systems before making any contact with you.
Although all molecular food churners should be working, as usual, we suggest adhering to the global government's recommendations and getting several Endless Lollipops that can provide you with all your nutritional needs for the coming weeks.
Now, we know sitting at home sucking a lollipop while watching a Vflick is not…well, it actually describes most of my weekends. Still, not having a choice always sucks.
Fear is also an unpleasant feeling and the prospect of being sick with whatever’s next is certainly not a picnic in the clouds (which I’ve actually tried, and it’s not a bucket list experience; there’s the birds, the air traffic, it’s cold…much better in VTV.)
But this is just one of those things we have to survive together. If we do, perhaps we will come out it a better people, with more stories to tell, and, some ants in our legs.
