You can buy it at *psszt* the 21st anniversary of *psszt* you did what? *psszt* the sound of the channels changing on my sleek black new hyper HD definition tv radiated throughout my, all marble million dollar multi level apartment.
The light from the Television illuminated myself lying down lazily on the couch. I was bored and felt restless, I had nothing to do.
Yes I was rich but I wasn't rich , this was all bought and paid for by daddies money.
Flipping through the channels the luminescence of the tv reflected on the walls i searched until *psszt * breaking news
Digit 7154 has escaped the facility. This digit is a female standing 5'2 with white hair and gold eyes if you see her please notify the watchman . Digit is very dangerous and known for intense aggression.
Please remember caut- pSSzt
“More nonsense “ I said aloud while getting ready to get up and do ,well something.
I let the Television sounds escape into the background. Standing up I put on my black sneaks , black shorts and black jacket. Original right? Anyway , taking the elevator upstairs to my bedroom I was greeted with a familiar, all white door with my family's insignia plastered into a crimson red of a stylized head of a demon. Automatically opening, the door obeyed my command without my input. In Fact the whole building was A.I operated by an algorithm called B.E.T.T.Y .
Walking into my neat and tidy room I searched on my desk right by my RGB holographic gaming system the xF90. I was looking for my trusty bluedream . An all blue earthy substance that I used to get unimaginably high … What did you expect? I was a rich kid and I did rich kid shit. I had no regrets ,certainly had no remorse for my actions and never will.
Not only that but I considered smoking a fat blizzy a spiritual right of a human being .
Packing up my illicit substances , I took one last glance around my top of the line luxury room headed back to the elevator . From the tenth floor to the first it took about a minute to head down completely . Walking through the entrance I was greeted by the door man ,walking by him and saying hello .I made way for my all white fully modded Vorvette. You technically weren't supposed to smoke and drive but the rules where for squares. Looking up at the bright yellow satellite moon Zilen , I knew that if I died today ,At Least I would’ve gotten really high… Yep , that's what I was grateful for. Lighting up with an inhale I felt all the tension leave my body . There was nothing like the first smoke of the night.
Opening up the door to my favorite vette I admired the studded mahogany seats. Getting in I moved my hands over the panel controls and started its keyless ignition , which in turn fired up the LED display lights , holographic dash , and my travel companion.
Mhh i contemplated for a sec , where should I go? Down to the bar ? nah I've been there at least 5 times in 5 days , I didn’t want them to think I was a drunk or better yet say it out loud. A small hint of embarrassment spread across my face.
Yeah, better to save my reputation, I thought. After a few more minutes of mulling over my options I ended up using a random color spinner on Foogle. Spinning it with the flick of my finger I watched the wheel hit the green color with the black letters beach written over it , I simply shrugged my shoulders.
The random algorithms have decided , who was I to disobey.
“Vette baby , I'm thinking of making a late night trip to the beach , mind taking me there” I asked my good friend
“No” replied my trusted steed
...
Which was , that's right, another AI. Most electronics were controlled by AI now a days. They even had rights . Crazy how it happened but I'll touch on it later. This one was called Vette , and I've actually known him just as long as I've known betty.
“Haha just fucking with you bro , i know you like to go down there and smoke every once in a yellow moon. “ He said jesting and revving the engine.
VRMMMM MMMMMM
Reversing then shifting into drive he continued speaking to me on the road“ yo honestly you’re my favorite handler so far , mind if I stop by the gas station in the old world? I want to get some gas myself “ He said while already heading to the gas station without listening to my input , I suppose it was already decided.
Cars don't run on gas anymore but me and him shared the same vice of getting blazed. Luckily for me it was virtually impossible for him to crash on a road like this , so I guess there was no harm
In the night time the roads were less trafficked , so what would normally constitute a 24 minute drive turned into a 8 minute one. Especially when you considered all the speeding we were doing. Swerving through what little cars presented themselves ,It didn’t take long and soon we were making our way to the old world.
Seeing the scenery change from all white and brightly colored fully alive high rises to dilapidated and aged houses was more than surreal. If anything it represented the have’s from the have nots. Though since i'm part of the Haves it better to keep my mouth shut.
Pulling up to the ancient abandoned gas station that we frequented whenever we visited. I could see the old and out of order gas pumps.Though there was a single remaining working pump that was still in use.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Looking around I could tell the era as the building beckoned a retro classical look with black pumps and a white and green shelter. The windows to the actual gas station were broken and bordered from years of neglect. While plants reclaimed once lost territory , the critters also made their home inside the cracks and crevices.
Hearing Vette’s audio track play I turned my attention towards him
“Hey Mercury, one of these days we need to bring a couple gallon jugs so I can take some of this stuff back home . It gets really boring just sitting in the garage “ he said while gas poured into his engine. Vehicles didn’t use fuel tanks anymore so the only way to get this stuff in him was directly through the engine.
Normally I would explain how he opened his own front hood without my assistance but its an AI powered car what more is there to explain. It would be like asking a person how do they move their arms.
“Sure man why not “ I said while puffing on the same blunt and at this point was starting to feel the effects. Feeling my thinking change I knew I was getting to where I wanted to be. Putting in some head phones that have been long since outdated , I started listening to my chill playlist
♩♪♫ You and me! ♩♪♫ and me ♩♪♫
Oh yea! nothing like some good underground tracks , some of these have been lost the giant technological boom that we had a few hundred years ago
.Vette, noticing i was in that type of mood connected to my "communcations 3GS" and started playing the track full blast in the whip. A single tear shed from my heart. You see this ,Little things like this-This is why I loved him.
“Right on bro, “ I said while practically jumping in my companion , pause. Only the guys will understand
I assumed he was finished with his session because his headlights were looking much more slanted than usual , maybe a little more red who knows and certainly I wouldn't tell .
“Hey bud let me take this in manual , I'm itching for some fast driving “
The only thought that I had in my mind was how fucking fast I was about to push this thing. It had a top speed of xxx miles per hour making it one of the fastest vehicles on the planet. My boy vette could compete with legit aircrafts, and I was planning on seeing if it's true.
“An intoxicated person taking the wheel, as an A.I operator of this system I am unable to allow access to your request ... Alright but you better not fucking crash “ he said as the faint smell of gasoline extended from the exhaust pipe.
I wonder how it felt to still be conscious and someone was able to control your body. Then again maybe i didn't
Getting out to the exit stop sign and I began revving the engine
MMMM VRMMMMM MMMM VRR RRRR
I doubt I would ever get tired of this. From here was nothing but a 70 mile stretch of unused highway, this was going to be fun.
seconds before putting my foot on the gas someone pulled up beside me. A girl on a gold and white motorcycle that definitely was extremely expensive. You could tell each part of this Moto was built with the intention of speed. It had an angular design and small wings on the side mirrors mimicking an angel . She had white hair, amber eyes and a black skully wearing a pink ripped tank top and black patched jeans , with quite frankly the sickest shoes I've ever seen. was she heavily tatted or not? I couldn't tell for sure but I could see some traces of them , was she part of some gang?
Pulling out a vape stick of some sort she took a blinker and let out a long puff .I could see her body loosen up as whatever she had tension evaporated from it.
“Nice fucking whip you think its faster than Charlotte here? Her expression and demeanor matched her energy. I wasn’t expecting this but some banter would be fun.
Oh one for chatter are we, I thought while gazing over her general appearance
Her motorcycle responded before anyone else could “fuck no , no 4 wheeler wanna be A.I would be faster than me”
Back in the olden days many people thought that A.I would lack the emotions necessary to integrate into the city . Quickly enough we discovered through painful error that they were even more emotional than us.
Vette couldn't believe someone else would have the nerve to belittle him when he was such a high quality machine. Taken by offense, Vette responded to his mechanical counterpart “ What?? Your even biting my style get a new paint job , why don't we test this right here and right now , stuck up bitch”
Oh damn! his response made me smile , I didn't know he was coming equipped like that . Let me backup my boy. Clearing my throat I deepened my voice and puffed up my chest.
“Since you're so confident, why don't you put that shit in manual ,and we can ride it out tough guy “ I tried to sound as confident as possible while hitting my blizzy and looking at them aloof.
“Oh really? ” She looked at me amused as ever but not intimidated “ where to?”
seemingly she wanted this much more than me which was a little concerning but I'm way too deep to chicken out now.
Yea right , I wasn't anxious at all either . this wasn't my first race there probably wouldn’t be much trouble since we’re definitely going to smoke them.
“Down to the beach , and really what does it matter ?When I put this bad boy on sport you’ll just be following me anyway. " I stated
“ Ha … And what does the winner get “ she asked intrigued her was tilting in a way that hinted craziness
I could clearly see that she was an unstable person, And clearly I was an unstable person .A match made in hell.
“The glory “ I said as I sped off without warning foot pressed firmly on the gas “latttaaa bitchhh “ mixed with our laughs was the last thing she heard as I stomped on the gas disappearing into the distance . Dropping the top on my boy Vette , I felt the wind flow through my hair as the euphoric feeling of driving in the fast lane uninhibited caught up with me. The glow of the moon only served to illuminate my mood ,i could feel the chemicals in my blood stream reacting to the swift changes of speed.
Only to hear VRoom vVROOOooooom . a few minutes later
Glancing back I could see the faint vestiges of moto headlights in the background
Oh damn ! she was catching up fast . I started to panic
I tried to outpace her but she came up beside me for a second ,only to stick out her middle finger and fly past me .
Fuck that!
Pushing the gas all the way I threw all caution to the wind . Slowly I was gaining on her at this speed the lights and moon made for my pov view to be something reminiscent of a wormhole.
Colorful lights shifting seamlessly past me , i truly was in my own dimension right now
Finally catching up to her we were neck and neck . She was moving slightly faster than me given the fact that she had less weight but ,I had a bigger and stronger engine that had just been juiced with gas letting me and vette keep up with the 2 wheeled powerhouse.
I was willing to put everything on the line to beat this total stranger and I feel like she felt the same. One hand on the steering wheel and the other with a blunt in hand I let adrenaline take the wheel.
Vssooosh our after images flooded the street in 2 beamlike white glows breaking the speed barrier on wherever we approached. Like twin dragons we ascended through the skies forcing everything out of our path. Though the fun wouldn’t last long as we were entering the final stretch of this expedition.
I knew I wouldn't be faster than her so I chose to beat her in the style department. Jerking the steering wheel then shifting gears while moving on the parking brakes , I let go of the wheel causing it to spin and my car to drift hard. Then grabbing it i moved it in the opposite direction releasing the parking breaks stabilizing my drift.
A wicked grin flashed across my face as I literally drifted in front of her, showering her in dust and gravel particles.
Unfazed and even excited she egged me on“ Oh shit lets go! “ She said as she popped a wheelie right next to me. Which actually caused her to lose speed , so I ended up edging out the win.
VROOM Vroom Vroom vette began revving his engine , and an incredible rush of electricity drowned my other senses . Is this how it felt to be a victor, maybe this was what my life was missing.
Getting up I rose to speak to the 2 losers. Man this girl was amazing , honestly had I found a friend in the desolate social media age we were in now?
“My name's Mercury , you are really dope. I was going to smoke some good stuff at the beach while watching the waves want to join me?” i said offering my best foot forward in our first meeting
Thinking about it she looked at me incredulously and said “ After all that you think I would leave? Free smoke and a cool homie sign me up, but I hope you don't mind I'm a little … wild“
Walking up to me she looked up and placed 2 fingers on my heart. Looking into her eyes a molten core of boundless yellow looked back at me, or maybe it was my imagination. All I knew was that time stopped for that moment and she said “My names Venus also known as Digit 7154. “
