chapter 1 reality can be interesting Mr. freak

Jump city penitentiary for the very obsessive. A nice little place that keeps the rest of the world just a bit nicer by locking away dangerous minded people. Or at least tries to lock away dangerous minded people because the escape rate of this penitentiary is quite high. But luckily today no one escaped. Why is that you might wonder? Well... because it's raining and none of the prisoners wanted to get wet.

Even though the prisoners wouldn`t go outside and play they were still entertaining themselves with the many activities the penitentiary offered to keep prisoner retention relatively high. One of these activities was talking to the prison psychologist. A man tasked with the job of talking some sense into the insane. However Doctor Selman felt like he might as well talk to a wall.

'I need some aspirin.' Doctor Selman thought as he ended a session with a patient. "Why do I even bother? All they do is breakout and get send back. It's a endless routine of nonsense."

Doctor Selman was mentally prepping himself for his next patient. "Ugh, why do I have to tread him. I was perfectly happy with that British guy but nooo they just had to change the schedule and give me that potato."

He took one last moment before he pressed the intercom button. "Tiffany, you may let Mr. freak in now."

"Thank you sir." A female voice said from the intercom.

As the door opened a overweight man with long orange greasy hair walked in. Doctor Selman looked at his patient and thought 'You good sir have a valid excuse to have your eyebrows waxed.'.

"You should fire that secretary." The man said.

"Ooh? For what reason?" The doctor already knew the reason but he didn`t want to aggravate the man in hope of actually making some progress today.

"Well, I tried to make small talk so I asked her opinion of episode six season 3 from star trek the next generation. And do you know what she said?"

"I`m afraid I do not." 'Here we go' Thought doctor Selman.

"She said she didn`t know it. Which is highly annoying but after our last talk I realized that because I`m the biggest fan in the world other people would look ignorant to me. So I calmed myself."

Doctor Selman felt a surge of joy 'praise the havens. We are making actual progress.'

"And then I asked her what her favorite episode was."

'God damn it!'

"It turns out that when she said she didn`t know it she meant the series not the episode. Which is unforgivable no matter how ignorant you are. " Control freak took a calming breath. "I asked her if she owned a TV which she does. A 150 inch flat panel led TV with 7.1 surround sound. That really surprised me because such a setup is very expensive and she is a secretary in a prison. When I asked how she could possibly afford such a viewing experience she told me her house burned down and the insurance covert all the damage. So instead of getting a new house she started living in a cheap apartment and bought the best cinema set she could afford . A decision I approve of."

Doctor Selman made a mental note to schedule a few talks with his secretary.

"However that approval abruptly left when I learned what she uses her system for." Control Freak leaned forward in his chair. "Documentaries, she uses her cinema set to watch documentaries. I think she`s insane."

"I agree." 'Only for different reasons.' Doctor Selman thought.

" I couldn't believe it. She is wasting a excellent entertainment center on something that isn`t entertaining. Who in their right minds would rather watch informative broadcasting than the wonderful world that is fiction. So I asked her if she watched something that is meant for entertainment. She smiled, she actually smiled when she said that she enjoys reality TV! Your secretary is one sick fuck. "

"Now, now mister Freak. Reality TV and TV series are more alike than you think." The doctor saw Control Freak was about to give a rant so he intervened before it could start. "Would you want to see Captain Picard take a dump?"

This question startled Control Freak so much that his rant was forgotten. "Huh?"

"Would you want to see Data read a book for five hours or Commander Riker having a one hour run on a treadmill. I don`t think you would enjoy that much now would you. It's like you said, fiction is a world and movies an series only show you the interesting parts just like reality TV and documentaries only show you the interesting part of our world."

"But reality isn`t interesting to watch." Control Freak said.

"Did you enjoy the documentary 'the making of star wars'."

"That isn`t reality. That is fiction."

"No it`s not. Its reality showing how fiction is made and one could argue that it destroys the magic that the movie contains by revealing that everything in the movie is fake. And yet you enjoy it."

"Because it`s about fiction."

"Which proves that you don`t find reality boring you just have a problem finding interesting things in reality. Mr. freak what is the most interesting thing you can think of that has nothing to do with fiction."

"I.. uuh... I like superheroes."

"If there were a documentary or a reality show about superheroes, would you watch it?"

"Yes... yes.. that. Would. Be. Awesome! Just imagine the possibilities. Doctor Selman you`re a genius."

"I see that my thought experiment left a impression." The doctor was starting to get excited. Never before has a prisoner agreed with his point of view.

"You are completely right. I should make a reality show that stars heroes."

"Yes... wait what?"

"Imagine real heroes pushed into the most interesting situations and dilemmas."

"I don`t think..."

"Viewed by the world! Everyone will watch because it`s not a story that stops when you don`t want to see it. It`s a situation where someone is in genuine danger. Doctor Selman thank you for this wonderful idea. You are the best psychologist I`ve ever met." Control Freak pulled a remote from his pocket.

"Wait! Can`t we talk about this." The doctor desperately pleaded.

"No doctor, no spoilers. you`ll just have to wait until it airs. Just like the rest of the world" With that said Control Freak pressed a button on the remote and vanished in a flash of light.

"What have I done." Doctor Selman asked himself. Guilt flooded his mind as he thought about the poor soul that would be the victim. After a few minutes of reflecting what just happened he come up with a conclusion.

"I need some aspirin."
