I think we're in the Twilight Zone. I've been thinking about a story with the same general theme for quite a while. And yet, you still managed to surprise me. Poor Jasper. I thought he was losing his mind.
Oh, I loved this. It started out way too real, then got surreal with the instant pregnancy. Then when the application disappeared, I thought, "Oh, it's fantasy." Then when you got to Amelia naming the game tokens, I laughed out loud.
Great. Made me think of J.L. Borges‘ Poem „Chess“: (translation) „...What gods behind God framed the beginning of dust and time and sleep and agonies?“
You are so clever, Bill. Such a wild imagination. You probably wake up from a dream three times a night to jot down bizarre thoughts. Cool story.
Clever, very clever, Bill. Most imaginative writing.

Nice suspense build. Unexpected events, yet in character. I enjoyed "Life."
This one had me laughing: "What's going on here!? Why are these characters becoming so ridiculous!? ...Oh, that's why."
And bonus points for nostalgia.
Awesome story! Loved the subtle social commentary.
Another corker 👌🥂

Magical Realism really is your genre (although I wouldn't dare pin you down).
Great premise. Certainly made me think about who's in charge of my life! Thank you.
Did you watch a lot of Twilight Zone when you were young?
I had such a big OMG moment at the end. Amazing story 👏🏻👏🏻
“You start out with two thousand and a car.” “I got a car!” Ah, the memories.
I didn’t catch on until the end. I thought it was some strange magic.
Such is Life.
Yeah, got me.
This ‘Life’ story was great!
Your imagination and writing skills are phenomenal, Bill.
Thank you for sharing.
