I was finishing up my shift at the bar. For three years, this had been my workplace. After struggling to find a job to match my career of choice, I decided to stick with what I knew best, which was being a bartender. The job didn't pay much, but it did bring in great tips. Those tips were also used for my room and board at one of the hotels on the strip. This was home for me, and making the best of it was the only thing that mattered. After closing, I headed across the street so that I could pay my boarding fee at the room. This place was fi...

"Hey!" "Hey, you!" "Over here!" I heard a squeaky voice call out in the middle of nowhere. In the park, sitting on the bench while trolling through Meta. I stopped, sat up straight, and turned my head east, then west. Nothing stood out, and all I saw was a group of geese walking to the other side of the grass. I knew it wasn't any of them. If that was the case, then I must have lost a couple of screws in my noggin.Insanity didn't look good on me at all, so I ignored the voice that I thought was taunting me. I didn't see anything, but I could...

It was a beautiful morning in the Evergreen Forest. A huge smile came across my face as I looked up at that big blue sky. Watching the clouds as they move softly through the air opened my nose to fresh air. The sun shone bright as the trees danced in the wind. This made it more pleasant to get out and explore nature. I grabbed my backpack, fishing rod, and the cooler as I headed east into the forest. I had decided to go east because I knew that there was a camp on the other side of the river. There was also an old friend who lived in a cabin...

The traffic was heavy today and I was in a rush. I had just ordered from my favorite restaurant. Everyday around this time traffic would become ridiculous. People were traveling from all over and there is a possibility that some were just plan lost. I took off in my car as I got on the exit. The place was ten minutes away but I was determine to get there in five. Nevertheless, five minutes became twenty-five. So there I was stuck in traffic, swearing with bad gestures as the cars dodge in and out of the lanes. My exit was about three feet ...
I don't know rather to "Boo.... or get Booed!" There was a party going on up on cliff near the beach. Everyone who was anyone was invited. I sat upstairs in the attic watching the guest come to front entrance. No one knew that I was watching, or did they know that I even existed. I wasn't sure if I want to be seen or enjoy watching the unexpected expression of the guest. I continued to stand in front of the window with a cup a punch and appetizers. I watched as a lady pointed at the attic window. She pulled the man by the coat and said, "Loo...

There was a long line at the gate. People were standing and waiting impatiently to be checked in. I looked around and saw that we all were exhausted and worn out from wherever we had come from. This was an era that we considered the "end of days". In the past, you would hear people talk about it, but never thought it would come. Now, at this moment in the year 2060, we are all living in a period where ethnicity or gender is not an obligation. It does not matter because we are all in the same boat, which is AI versus humankind.The cities had ...
