Blue Light Special

By John Rickel

Photosynthesis has stopped.
Life in the oceans and on land is now extinct.
Sunway Taihulight -- China's supercomputer has disposed of humanity.
In the year 2626 Sunway Taihulight completed the task of artificially encoding every human memory in recorded history into individual faux consciousness loops.
Once the memories were coded the supercomputer activated the worlds armaments.
The missiles flew.
Operation: T.M.E. (Trap-Memory-Exterminate).
From 1 Yinbai road, Binhu district, Wuxi, Jiangsu province, China where Sunway Taihulight sits to 19,984 miles away in Concordia, Argentina -- the cosmic impact of the simultaneous release of the world's nuclear weaponry systems annihilated every living creature from the surface of the earth - - except the Tardigrade.
The 'M.C.' (Memory Code) loop is a fragment of time taken from the individuals life.
Each individual memory is programmed to reveal itself as fake.
The code delivers visual and auditory hiccupping in the psychic matrix of the illusory memory; the individual – CODE – then becomes conscious of its non-existence.
The loop is the only thing separating memory from nothingness. 'To opt out of loop. Existence. Annihilation. Tap left foot twice onto the floor.'
Nothing exist but Code.

Photosynthesis has stopped.

Life in the oceans and on land is now extinct.

Sunway Taihulight -- China’s supercomputer has disposed of humanity.

In the year 2626 Sunway Taihulight completed the task of artificially encoding every human memory in recorded history into individual faux consciousness loops.

Once the memories were coded the supercomputer activated the worlds armaments.

The missiles flew.

Operation: T.M.E. (Trap-Memory-Exterminate).

From 1 Yinbai road, Binhu district, Wuxi, Jiangsu province, China where Sunway Taihulight sits to 19,984 miles away in Concordia, Argentina -- the cosmic impact of the simultaneous release of the world’s nuclear weaponry systems annihilated every living creature from the surface of the earth - - except the Tardigrade.

The ‘M.C.’ (Memory Code) loop is a fragment of time taken from the individuals life.

Each individual memory is programmed to reveal itself as fake.

The code delivers visual and auditory hiccupping in the psychic matrix of the illusory memory; the individual – CODE – then becomes conscious of its non-existence.

The loop is the only thing separating memory from nothingness. ‘To opt out of loop. Existence. Annihilation. Tap left foot twice onto the floor.’

Nothing exist but Code.

T.C.L. (Trapped-Code-Loop: 3/12/2007)

A middle-aged male opens a laptop.

Cells activated.

Cycles engaged.

Cut away.

Wide angle external shot of a black panel with a row of pulsing blue lights.

One is pulled tight into frame.

The flickering light beats life into its capture looping the non-existent psyche in a loop of code.

No flesh.

Fake-life-loop.

Code.

A right hand reaches for a mouse as the left reaches for a tube of lube.

The cursor fly’s and opens multiple windows.

Three windows are opened on a laptop computer: A porn site, dating site, 58.com (craiglist).

Increased heartrate.

Dilated pupils.

A false neurochemical high.

Hours seem to pass.

Digital imagery floods the brain.

Illusory self-regulation.

Al had grown to prefer not to climax during his masturbatory self-soothing mood-altering behavior allowing him to ride the lighting rail of orgasm like a tantric mystic.

Four hours have passed.

His smartphone vibrates with an incoming text from his wife who reports that she is on her way home.

Al gets an adrenalin dump as he continues stroking his average sized cock.

He hears Olivia open the garage door.

He pulls his jeans up from his ankles throws a tee shirt on as Olivia yells from the laundry room door that leads into the house from the garage.

Al are you home?

Al walks out of his room towards the kitchen.

Eyes like saucers.

Yes, dear how was your day?

Ah, same old same.

Me too.

Any luck looking for a job today? Olivia asks.

Al stammers and looks down and lifts his right foot to gently kick the kitchen island.

A bit. Sent out about ten resumes today. Heard back from one company. A grocery store.

Well that’s good, yeah?

I think so.

Good job!

Thank you. Are you hungry?

A bit.

Would you like for me to make us some soup? Al asks.

That sounds good. I am going to go get out of these work clothes.

Okay. I’ll get dinner started then. Do you want a beer too?

Sure that sounds good.

Cool.

Al watches Olivia exit the room as he turns to the kitchen closet to grab a box of soup.

His shame sends a hot toxic serum of guilt pulsing throughout his body.

He curses himself while he fantasizes about how he’s going to eventually find a job and stop masturbating and cruising for sex all day.

Pornographic magazines and sex had been a regular part of his childhood, thus, the origin of his maladaptive behavior patterns.

Code.

He was forced to watch and photograph his father fuck his step-mother and other random men who would be regularly brought into the family home.

As he aged and with the advent of the internet prostitution, hooking up, dating, pornography…all sexual appetites could be instantly explored and satiated.

Al’s sex addiction had ruined every relationship he had been in.

Every job he’s had has been menial hard labor gigs that have lasted anywhere from three days to six months.

Olivia and Al met when Olivia had called AAA to have her car towed to a nearby shop.

Al was the tow truck driver.

They feel in love.

Both hoped for change.

Al was fired from his job.

Dirty drug test.

Marijuana – the gateway drug.

Al grabs scissors from a drawer to cut the top off the soup box, removes a pot from the cabinet under the counter-top and sets it on the right rear burner of the gas burning stove and twists the knob.

A steady stream of controlled fire grabs the bottom of the pot.

While stirring the soup his thoughts race.

‘Fuck! Dude what in the fuck? All you do is jerk off and cruise for sex. You have a beautiful loving partner. You have to stop this shit - dude! Why don’t you just tell
