Fuck, Fuck, Fuck.
31 fucking years of doing good, 31 years of being careful.
I’m not a fucking idiot like Blue!

I gotta calm down.

…

Maybe there’s still something I can do?
Fuck my lungs are burning, fucking x-Crash, why did I drink that synthetic shit?
Shouldn’t have listened to Max,
Fucker keeps a clear head no matter how much he downs.
Prick!
We aren’t all blessed like that.
My heart. Fuck, I gotta calm for a moment.

…
Let’s just get a quick hit. Only up to the 0.5 line. Not much more than quick hit anyway.

…
Okay that hits the spot.
I’m gonna take a seat. Stairs are fucking cold.

…
Ok let’s recap. I’m drunk.
Maybe this wasn’t a big deal? I wish I could get c-chat on lens.
Fuck! I don’t wanna fucking touch lens anyway, makes my stomach turn thinking about that stupid shit.
Stupid goddamn cab, “
We only take lens. Pay lens or I call the cops!”
I Should have know the fucker was running a hack.
Fucking x-Crash pissing on my brain.
Okay what happened?
The payment processor didn’t let me through, so I clicked the little spam screen away.
Maybe it was just a spam screen?
Okay calm. My ass is freezing.
Fuck it, let’s get the lens out. Maybe it’s caught on recap.
Why did I have to move to Vine? Oh Yeah. Because I’m fucking
broke, sitting on the cold ass stairs in a run down Cube, no elevator, not even lights, and a goddamn click has fucked my entire life.
Okay lens is up.

…
Let’s get to security. Recent Recap. Nice still set to auto. Okay. Last one is 04:45 auto-save.
Okay that must be it.
Let’s take a look.

…
There it is.
Fuck I didn’t even notice the guys face is scrambled, he definitely knows what’s going on.
My heart is going again. Calm down.
I’m going through the payment processor, okay fine, fine, fine, fine.
Here we go, stop.
Okay, looks like spam. Yeah it’s not. That thing is prepped to block me from clicking pay.
Why didn’t I just let the guy get the cops? He would have thrown me out anyway, like that guy would have wanted to deal with the cops.
Here I go. I need to see that window again.
Okay. Fuck that thing goes by fast, let’s go frame by frame.
Wow two fucking frames.
Wonder I caught that shit in the first place.
Okay zoom.
“Thanks for subscribing to blue line”
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
No! Why did I fall for that?
This shit can’t be happening.

…
Get this fucking lens off!
Oh god. I haven’t cried since
Serene left.
God fuck.

…
Okay let’s take a deep breath. It happened. I got into blue line.
They have access to my blood now.
Nothing I can do now. Let’s get on the main pad and check c-chat.
If I’m actually in blue line there’s a whole lot of docs waiting in c-chat for me.
Okay. Woah. I feel almost sober. That shit has scared the x-crash out me. But my legs feel like lead.
I’m not going to run anymore anyway.

…
Kinda wish I would meet a junkie, bro could stab me, I don’t give a shit.

…
31 years, running around with card. I haven’t eaten in a fast food joint for 6 years, 6 years since lens only.
I was always the smartass.

“Hey blue, don’t use lens, it’s open crypto, they going to clean out your bank bro”
Well blue maybe we meet soon. They got me into blue line. Not so smart now am I?
Wish they just cleaned out my bank. There was fuck all to clean out anyway.
No I clicked on the goddamn blue line referral link like some kind of idiot.
Well I’m the idiot that got fucked up on x-crash.
Shouldn’t have been so judgmental. Sorry bro.
In the end I was really just as dumb as you blue.

…
And life was almost about to run smooth.

…
Okay last floor.
Why do I feel so damn calm?
I’m not going to die right now.

…
Let’s get in. Take off the shoes.

…
Ugh, fucking hot, air is still stale as fuck. I’m getting headaches already.
Ventilation still fucked. Wish I had one of the outer cubes, with the windows, at least I could get some air in.
…
Okay let’s get the pad up.
Here goes my heart again. Still not dead yet
huh?
…
Right. Here we go. Let’s open c-chat.
Oh no! Oh fuck!
18 unread?
It’s all in motion.
Okay here’s the first one.
“Thanks for subscribing to blue line.”
Suck my dick!
“Blue line”
“Modern health care solutions”
Okay it’s just the sign up.
Next one.
“Blue line dna access permission”
Yeah like I willingly gave you fuckers that shit.
“Blue line
DNA analysis report”
Didn’t waste fucking time huh?
Okay let’s see.
“For access to DNA analysis report, bronze, silver, gold, blah blah blah.”
Yeah like I’m paying you to know how bad I’m fucked.
Let’s see if the damage has hit yet.
“Devon and brothers”
Oh no.
“Devon and brothers has received… blue line…
We regret to inform you based on DNA health analysis…”
Get to the point.
“No longer able to provide current contract conditions”
So I’m out of a job.
Let’s see the new contract.
Yeah I can’t even fucking pay rent on that.
I’m so fucked.
I’m crying again like a bitch.
I wish I had a window.
Okay let’s go on.
“Rickson cubes inc.”
“We regret to inform you…”
“Based on Blue line DNA analysis…”
“Appropriate adjusted rent payment of…”
And I’m
homeless .
I couldn’t pay that even with my old job!
…
Last one.
Mail from blue line.
“Due to blue line DNA analysis permission…
After careful evaluation by AI model…
New monthly rate…”
…
Over
It’s all over.
I know all about this shit. I’ve always taken all the warnings to heart. I have preached to my friends how important it is to not use lens or give your healthcare provider access to DNA analysis.
Crazy how fast these fuckers work. All the
se fuckers, rent, work, health all the guys with their fucking hands out.
I know the stories, their shitty models spit out the same shit, your genetics are bad, you’re a liability.
Like 90% of the gene pool is a fucking liability?
Fucking liars!
I wonder if they even run the data through anything at all or if it’s just a formality.
I know the stories, if you try to get a detailed analysis off of them that can justify the price hikes they borough you neck deep in corpo bureaucracy.

…
Like anyone gives a shit if they lie anyway.
What now?
Let’s take a look at the bank.
Fuck.
I’m already deep in the red. Too deep. I will never pay that back and those are just the immediate charges, next month I’m going to be buried even deeper.
Them getting their money is working like a charm though.
Let’s see.
Fuck.
These mother fuckers.
Blue line took a fat chunk before the cab fair even went through.
A new one, let’s see.
All caps.
Oh no.
Should have known.
Debtor’s cops.
So who gets my dumb ass?
“Jefferson light industry”
Already sold to a debtors guardian.
An hour ago my life was fine…
All because I clicked a fucking corpo health care hack, because I was fucking not paying attention…
The cops are on their way to pick me up.
Make me a corpo slave.
Thanks for the heads up.
…
The gun…
In 24 hours I will have a bug in my brain and I will be wriggling on the floor when I even think of picking that thing up or even if I stand too long or too close to a bridge…
Not gonna happen.
I’ve seen it so many times. No one gets out of being a corpo debtor.
Statistically it’s like what? They say a 25% chance of dying from an infection, from when they implant the bug in your brain anyway?
And that’s corpo media, it’s probably worse.
…
No more tears.
I feel calm.
…
Guess my mind is made up.
…
Let’s
take a look.

Fucking cables, there we go.
Seems like it’s all there.
Nice. Dum dum rounds.
Set it on serial auto to be sure.
That’s like 7 bullets with one pull of the trigger?
Damn. I can hear them coming up the staircase.
At least I won’t have to think to about what’s about to happen for too long.
…
There were still some tears left huh?
