The Reveal
Psychic Connections Reveal 5/10/2077 popped on my Tasker lens to remind me it was upcoming. I rolled my eyes and shuffled over to my bathroom to take my Tasker out of my eye. I didn't want any reminders or distractions. The reveal was causing enough stress to blow a canon. I would be finding out my soul mate, twin flame, and kindred spirit. The Committee would then request I choose one of them to pursue.

The Visitor
"I'm visiting Earth from Megurkury," I said. A crowd gathered around me. "How do you know English," an Earthling shouted from the crowd. "I learned all Earth languages before visiting. I have a gift for you," I said. I reached into my pocket and took out the gift and an Earthling yelled, "Shoot it. Shoot the alien, he might be dangerous," and someone shot me. "Forgive them, they know not what they do," I said and I died. A priest took the gift from my hand. "He was a friend. This was the cure for cancer, fools," the priest said.

What is consciousness?
Hemispherectomy is a surgical procedure in which half of a person's brain is removed.The most common reason it's performed is because the patient has seizures, and removing the part where the seizures occur is the only solution. But here's my question. If you can live with half a brain, what if I were to take two empty skulls and take one half of your brain and plop it into one body and the other half and put it in another body, who would be you? I mean, you are conscious. You are aware of what is happening to you from the perspective of yourself. Think about it this way: if you just stare at something and kind of feel what it feels like to be you, it feels a little bit like you're a thing inside a body looking out through the eyeballs. And nobody else on Earth will ever see the world from that position- even if they have your same amount of brains as you do. This awareness of your own experiences, the awareness that you are having them, makes up what we call consciousness.

Some Glitch
It happened so quickly that I’m unsure that it was real. One moment, I was walking down the cold streets of New York City. The sound of construction. The smell of hot dog water. Then, for just a moment, I felt sand give way under my feet. The warmth of the sun on my face. The sound of waves cashing in front of me, followed by the scent of salt water. For a moment, I felt like I was on the beach of some paradise. I just told myself to keep walking. That it was a glitch caused by stress.

Man No More
Pain. Unimaginable pain. Only for an instant and then, nothing. I'm strapped to something. A bed. I remember now. An operation. I look down at my hand. It's mostly metal, with something trying to pass for flesh over it. I remember now. They wanted a weapon they could control. A lapdog.
