Dream Machine (part 1)
"Is this a gimmick... what exactly is the 'I-god'?
Just another wacky, 'fun-but-does-nothin' device?"
The salesman at the I-store simply smiled at the question.
Then came the 'pitch' as usual, from the snappily-dressed man:
"Certainly, Sir... That is what you might want to think it is...
But in actuality... The I-god can do just about anything at all
that your brave little heart and wild imagination can come up with.
In your Dreams... Anything seams... Possible? It's a Dream Machine!"
The 'prospect' looked unimpressed, then asked:
"What if I want to go back to my wedding night nuptials.
And do it up even more wilder - and keep it up all night long?"
The blue-suited sales associate of Think-Big Inc. smiled again.
The kind of killer, knows what you'll do before you even think
of it kind of smile... A little unnerving to say the least, to this
buyer to be, Jon Ethan Irving Jr. But the fish was hooked. Yes.

Irving did rent an I-god... He easily was able to afford that.
He still was in a blue-fog as to why he had stepped into that
store, in the garment district of Seattle, on a whim it seemed.
That 'Think-Big' sign had caught his attention, right away, as that
was his own personal motto, in his career as an ad designer man.
Funny how he had never ever seen that sign or store there before.
Was like it had popped up like a noxious weed... Overnight. Presto!
It was so new, that there were no ads or website on a Goo-Goo search.
Maybe Irving had dreamed up the whole darn thing, after that bottle of
Aquavit late last night. Well, not the whole bottle, but several shots. Yeah.
But there it was... Sitting at attention on his dresser next to his ex-wife's
framed photo. The I-god... And it gleamed in the morning light of a new Day!

That very night, a Saturday, after midnight... Irving took the I-god for a 'Test Drive'.
He programmed a sweet dream of that high school teacher he had a huge crush on.
She was 10 years older than he was... and that was 20 years ago, as of yesterday...
But he still had naughty thoughts about her... Her big brown eyes and dark brown
long, wild wavy hair... Her big breasts calling him in like a ship, closer to the rocks.
And the next hour, it seemed... Was pure magic and big fireworks... Simply... Incredible!
