My mother once told me
Not to fear the dark
But she knows not what resides
Outside of my comforted ark.
Every night I lay in bed
I wonder what will become of me
A squid might attatch to my little head
And when I'm gone she'll see.
And when I tell my friends at school
They all laugh and make fun of me
Every night I return to that black inky pool
And when I'm gone they'll see.
And when they lay in bed at night
Comforted and dreaming
I'll be all alone in the darkness
Terrified and screaming.

The stranger in the blue suit smiled, unanimously and simultaneously so did the other surrounding figures. Although their bodies and features were blacked out, they all had the same falsely pure white smile. A little white lie, trapped on their face. The man looked at Jack, his smile growing wider and wider almost stretching across his entire face, as if it was going to rip away from it from sheer tenacity, teetering Jack into the edge of insanity.
He bent over and whispered in Jack's ear "See you soon." He then lightly touched Jack's temples. Jack convulsed as an electric pulse cra

Jack In The box Ch1 Ep 1
Jack woke up to the warm glow of the sun on his face. He rolled over to see the radiant yellow sun staring back at him, it's magnificent rays peeking through looming cumulus clouds. Jack groaned, squinting, it was really only a bother to him, but he was to lazy to configure the simulation to something less bright. There wasn't any country side like that anymore, except in the nature reserves where only the rich could have their summer homes placed. Mostly because the majority of the Eurasian-American Alliance territory was composed of huge urban sprawls. These bleak colossal monsters enveloped a tri-state area. N

Jack quickly went through his morning routine of checking any and all messages to him, he checked and tweaked all of the firewalls in his system, he had to protect all of the information stored on his drives. During his routine he heard a sharp rap on his door. Jack froze, a small bead of sweat ran down his cheek. The rap came again, twice, this pulled Jack out of his stupor. Jack quickly ran over the monitors stationed on the wall. Several armed, what looked to be, GSO agents where standing at his doorway. Jack cursed under his breath. He quickly ran around the room destroying any and all electronic equipment. H

The agent groaned, he most likely had a slight concussion. The agent had not been wearing his helmet, Jack didn't blame him the helmets were notoriously itchy and hot. Jack didn't like to hurt people, directly at least, but he liked it a lot less when he himself got hurt. Jack slapped the agent again, this time it worked. Before the agent could scream for help Jack jammed a cloth into his mouth.
"Be quiet or I'll make you eat your teeth." Jack eyeballed the man, he was an ox, but even an ox couldn't take 200+ lbs right on the head. He aimed the commandeered KM34 semi-auto tactical a

Jack checked his HUD to see if any other agents were nearby, the closest one was approximately 50 meters away. That was far enough away. He glanced over his shoulder and up along the sides of the buildings. Jack knew from experience that you couldn't always trust technology. It broke to easily. After he was sure no one was close by he slowed his breathing and tensed, he new as soon as he cut the link between him and the tracking unit they would know something was wrong and storm over to his position.
Jack opened the side panel of the helmet and quickly cut two wires, effectively sev

Jack's profession was that of a black hacker. He was part of a group of shady individuals who hacked for a profit. These underground nobodies leased their skills to big time corporations to lie, cheat, and steal their way around government regulations. Despite Jack's proficiency at what he does, he turns down many of the requested jobs, because many compromise people's physiological health. In other words, Jack refuses to hack minds.
The computers in Jack's world are Prometheus' fire, They link directly with your neural pathways. They let you see what you want to see, feel what you
