The New iBods

    I went into my favorite computer store under the pretext of wanting to look at a new laptop, but I really just wanted to look at their shiny sales staff.  At first they had been coated translucent white, to match the molded plastic that housed their high-end computers.  But those were last year's models.  The new models came in assorted colors, their bodies perfectly smooth and polished.  They were beautifully elegant, with no protrusions of any sort to mar their unnatural perfection.
     In truth these sorts of alterations were decidedly common nowadays, but being a technology company they had gone one step further, having implanted state-of-the-art micro-USB thumb drives in the navels of their glossies, thus turning them into walking 64-gig iBods.

-An excerpt from the ebook Next Year's Model, a tale of objectification and addiction, of love and betrayal, and lots and lots of shiny skin.  On sale at Amazon.com, Smashwords.com, and the iTunes Bookstore.
