From LOL one of nine short stories in Almost Reality Jason found himself cruising the internet in hopes of finding more pertinent information about the stem-cell research Superman had been trying so desperately to see come to fruition so he could fly again. It wasn’t because his Dad was such an asshole to be around these days (well not only because) that he wanted to see if there was a procedure that might reverse his father’s condition. Phillip had been a great man to be around before the accident and Jason wanted to meet that man again before a condition came around that could not be reversed, no matter the technology. Jason had listed his dad’s name with a group of others that had the same desire to be rid of their affliction on a site that claimed to be monitoring all possibilities for a cure to neurological paralysis. The site promised to contact those willing to try “treatments” not currently on the approved list by the American Medical Association. Jason decided to switch over to the social network to see if his brother Jack was on so they could share in seeing the worlds of those never met. He saw that his brother was indeed on chat and started a conversation. “What’s up Jack? Shouldn’t you be doing something more constructive with your time at work?” Jack was the vice president at the Tarkenton First National Bank and spent a good portion of his time surfing the net. “I could ask you the same question there Skippy.” Jason worked as an independent contractor for Quantum Electronics as an electrician and made a dam good living doing it. The cool thing about his job was he could do as he liked until he was needed to fix a problem at Quantum which required his particular skills. He also had three men working for him who did most of the work. “I was thinking, maybe we are going about this the wrong way. How about we go to an Indian medicine man or a Voodoo priest and get them to put a walking spell on the old man?” Jack typed. “Yeah, that is probably as likely to work as anything else we have tried.” “Cool, so we agree that what we need is a Voodoo priest to cast a spell on pop so he can walk again, right?” “That is fine with me as long as the Voodoo dude doesn’t need chicken feathers, LOL” amazon/Almost-Reality-Ron-Stelle-ebook/dp/B00IQ4IHDY/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1394507302&sr=1-1
