Chapter #3
Time to decompress!
by: Unknown
Carlos logged out of the open window on his computer and opened the Universal Program. He took out the disc bearing a chic, well-designed logo. The rest of the text seemed indecipherable save the copyright text and the slogan, "Organize your world!" Thinking nothing of it Carlos opened the disc reader and put it in. He was greeted by a window with the text:
Welcome to the Universal Program!
Organize your world!
>Continue
Quit Application
He clicked continue, which opened another prompt.
"Initiate scan?"
>OK
Cancel
Once again, he selected the affirmative option and a window with a loading bar opened. Hmm, must be scanning my computer to see how best to organize my files. Good, because my system clearly isn't working. Five minutes passed, and Carlos grew tired of waiting. The bar was 60% complete. His hand moved toward his crotch, but the computer dinged. The scanning was complete.
Just my luck.
The loading window expanded to show a very detailed three-dimensional model of Carlos. He was completely thrown off. On the right side of the screen was a long, long list of stats. Carlos read a few:
Race: Hispanic
Age: 39
Height: 5' 8" (172 cm) Average
Weight: 199 lbs.
Body fat: 20%
Shoe size: 10 US
He scrolled past a myriad of body measurements, even past his personality. At the bottom of the screen, a text box asked, "Do you want to make changes?"
Well, I have always wanted to be taller... or more athletic...
