In the future, robotics and advanced A.I. become a ubiquitous part of society, aiding mankind in all facets of everyday life. However, they still retained the cold impersonal look of a machine until a new development rocketed over the uncanny valley. Grown rather than built, this new kind of being was made possible by hacking the human genome and combining biology with nanomachines: cyborgs down to the cellular level, but...

My breath became a zephyr the instant our eyes met,My eyes wandered over her, a memory I will not forget,I cannot describe her beauty; I was blinded by her light,I wish to take her home for the remainder of my life.Alas, she has a husband, a man with too much male ego,He doesn’t know she looks at me as a man she’d like to know.We avert our eyes when speaking; we don’t trust the honestyOf looking deep within the soul of a...

Ed Rawson sat gingerly at his desk that morning, grateful to have arrived before his secretary so that she wouldn’t see how difficult it was for him to sit. Regina Wilcox was an outside investigator who was checking to ensure that the top people in Ed’s company had nothing embarrassing in their pasts. The company was about to issue an IPO (“Initial Public Offering”) and Ed stood to benefit financially from stock options h...

Ed Rawson sorted through his mail and stopped when he recognized the envelope from SAG-AFTRA. He tore open the envelope and smiled broadly as he read the amount on the check inside. Yet again, the check was much bigger than the previous year and, also yet again, he shook his head in amazement. Eight years earlier, Ed had been in a real fix trying to finance grad school and complete his MBA. Answering a vague advertisement...

My mobile phone rang and vibrated on the desk in my site office. I picked it up and glanced at the screen to see if it was a recognised number, perhaps even the caller’s name. The screen told me it was the office calling. “Hello?” I said a second after hitting the green answer button. “Hello Brad, Lucy here, I have Mr. Ash on the line for you. Just putting you through.” The line went quiet for a moment. Mr. Ash was the Ma...

The next morning I got to work early. The only person there ahead of me was Sook Lee, and she was completing the hookups for the LAN computer network for the old board room; which was now the only place in my business where clothing was mandatory.I spent the extra time watching everyone arrive at work and go to their various departments. Some began stripping off as soon as they got in the door, others waited, and got nake...

Well the day of the vote finally arrived. I was pleased to see how industrious every was being, Work was still getting done. Besides work, I saw some other interesting activity. During breaks I saw Becky almost holding court at the water cooler. She was dressed in a very loose fitting sun dress. Her natural sun bleached hair contrasted beautifully against her tanned skin. She looked very comfortable, and beautiful. Margar...

The next few days went by pretty easily. Software production continued, and sales went on as usual. I had called the President and CEO of the parent company and given her a heads up. The only thing she said to me was that I needed to be very careful. She asked me about three times if I knew what I was doing, but at the end of the call one thing was clear, that whatever decision we came to, corporate profits was what matte...

The next day I came to work a little late. I had a short meeting with a corporate client who likes to do business directly with me, much to the dismay of my commissioned sales staff. As I walked into the building I was in a kind of happy place in my head, whistling as I walked, and not really paying too much attention to anything. It really was amazing the effect that seeing Becky Lawrence naked yesterday had had on my pe...
