The Strings Inside my ... It is the Future. I am "wearing" a string that is implanted up my *****s, like the catheter a nurse may insert inside you in the hospital to help you pee. And you know how uncomfortable wearing one of those awful catheters can be. Every citizen is connected to every other person in this way, with strings implanted in our *********s, and all the strings are connected to the National Government in New York. It is by means of the strings that the National Government in New York broadcasts daily news and the National Public Television Channel to the people everywhere. The problem with the system, comprising more Than two hundred million strings, is that the strings of every person get entangled with the strings attached to every other, and the biggest string of all to the National Government in New York. It feels so awful to be yanked whthout warning, this way or that by strings inside my *****, pulling me by the *****, especially not knowing who is pulling; Is it the National Government in New York or is it just the people pulling at my ****s? I am working a National Government job at my local neighborhood branch of the National Government Workplace. When one day at my lunch break, in my neighborhood branch of the National Government Cafeteria, I ask a coworker whether it's illegal to remove the strings set in our ****..s. He says it's not exactly legal, but points out that if you're not connected, you won't know what is going on in the world. I ask him: are there any people not required to be connected by the strings inserted up their ******ls? He says that people who weren't bred here, who grew up before the New Society, are not required to wear them, because the adjustment of being pulled by strings inserted up their *******s, would be too great for them. I get so exhasperated with being pulled and jerked around by the strings inside my *****s, that I just yank them out, though it is bloody and quite painful. and Not to mention probably illegal. But I am so happy to be free from the National Government at last. Now I'm not attached, and I resolve that no one's going to ever, ever pull and jerk me by the *****s any more. I'm in a line of commuters walking home, pulling a scooter along with me. There is a woman behind me. I think she wants to pass me up as she keeps on tooting her horn. Beep beep ... Then it dawns on me it would be faster to ride the scooter home. I punch the coordinates into a keypad and the scooter speeds away. I'm back in the old apartment, in the Past, and Midnitesun is there. We are in the primitive year 2004. She tells me that she loved me when I came into her life. and I hold her for a long, long, time. She turns on a portable to listen. It is the National Government Public Television Channel. I wonder how she gets it. She doesn't know about the strings, does she? Then they make an announcement. Researchers at the National Government Research Center have just developed a new implant allowing citizens to hear and watch The Government Public Television Channel without being attached to it! The program signals by means of this device, are fed directly into your nervous system. Instead of listening to or watching a newscast or a movie, you actually experience it yourself! This is a great technological breakthrough, and a new satellite has been put up. No longer will people need strings, implanted up their *********s for them to connect to the National Government in New York, or for the National Government to connect to the people! The string network is to be dismantled. The National Government in New York will issue to each citizen a special spray can. If you see strings lying around, just spray them, and they will evaporate into the air. All citizens will receive the special implant free from doctors working at neighborhood local branches of the National Government Hospital. The special implants have a new feature: The ability to be turned off. This broadcast originated from component #4763843927575 of the master National Government Computer in New York.
