Official Intelligent Beings: How Our Devices Became Us, And The World Consumed Itself by Josh Greenfield Page B

high on adrenaline, they entered a new dimension. A dimension ruled by love—a place where all was safe and fear had no friend.

 
    Chapter 13.
     
    Jagz brought Shera home with him. After their lovemaking, they spoke of spending the night together. This was, for most, unthinkable. Not because it was illegal—law was all but abolished in their world—but because it served little to no purpose for the average person. For Shera and Jagz, the world was different now. They walked hand in hand as lovers ready to create something new together.
    As they paced down the street, they felt separate from those around them. It was the first time that they had truly noticed how everyone else was consumed by their devices. They chatted about little things, about what they saw, it was like they were walking through a dream and everyone around them was swimming in an endless ocean of mindlessness.
    Shera, then suddenly out of no where, brought up something that Jagz might not be ready to talk about.
    “What do you say, Jagz? Ready to share the the Aliens with your followers? Nearly 2 MILLION now!? If it’s any incentive, getting to see you live Quack would really turn me on.”
    At this point, Jagz didn’t need much more persuasion. After all, he trusted her and knew that she was right. He couldn’t hold onto these secrets for much longer. Not after such a magical day. He pulled a fresh apple from his bag, took a huge bite, tasting its tart sweetness and began to write.
     
    I come to you with something that, up until now, I wasn’t quite sure how to share with the world. A few weeks ago, I was let in on some earth shattering information, information that I was simply too afraid to share with you. But I have been given so much support and encouragement by everyone that I can’t simply keep it in any longer #herewego
     
    Jagz pressed send, giving his readers something to chew on, knowing that they would be reading his words instantaneously. He continued to type.
     
    Last week I was brought into Unified Webworks and shown something that I never believed was possible—something that you may very well not believe. But today I will share it with you anyhow. Here goes… I was put in direct contact with an Alien that had asked to specifically speak with me. He claimed to bring a message from his planet that he wanted me to share with the world.
     
    Once again Jagz pressed send after reaching the character limit. His heart pounded as his nerves kicked in.
     
    I know it sounds crazy, and I still think that it is, but he said that his race is searching for a new planet to co-inhabit. They have run out of resources and have found Earth to be perfectly suitable for their species. He also said that they have no intention of taking over or destroying us, but things will change. They are a far superior race and we will have to get used to that change.
     
    Again he released his Quack.
     
    Mr. Herd, the President of Unified Webworks expressed that the Aliens want anything but peace, that what they really want is to dominate our race and to change life as we know it in order to suit their needs. But he also believes our Official Intelligent Beings will stop at nothing to prevent this, they will show us how to fight. We will fight for our freedom.
     
    He sent his Quack and pondered whether to sum it all up with a thought of his own.
     
    I am simply acting as a messenger relaying what I saw. I don’t really know what to make of all of this. I saw the Alien with my own two eyes. I’ve even attached footage here so you can see too. We spoke and if you can trust, not only my words, but also the footage I am sharing, then you can trust that this is a very real situation, one that I have no idea how to process myself. As always, please share your thoughts. #whatnow ?
     
    He took a deep breath and turned to Shera, who was standing eagerly by his bed.
    “I’m proud of you. Very proud. That took a huge set of balls. But what I’m really
