Dear Mr. Jenkins,


    Happy 40th Birthday!


    We cordially invite you to preregister to join ''Oasis,'' the worldwide retirement resort, where you can enjoy amenities with real physical interactions and never worry over the daunting hyper speed of the neural VR revolution.


    At Oasis, we offer holo-projected movies, in-person social games and fitness classes, and many real-world physical activities. You''ll meet face to face with genuine people and create long-lasting relationships with those in your own age group without the fear of experiencing the dreadful ''VR Isolation Syndrome.''


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    As per federal law—anyone 45 or older is disqualified from neural implants due to their lack of mental elasticity and high risk for life-threatening surgical rejections—as the exocortex is meant to replace some higher organic brain functions.


    Since all newborns are required to undergo immediate surgery for implants, your age group faces further alienation with the inherent danger of not participating in our future society.


    Your friends and family can regularly visit you, and you won''t have to worry about keeping up with their daily astronomical pace.


    We ask that you please consider us!


    The sooner you decide, the better your chances for a fulfilling life.


    We promise to provide you a welcoming, engaging, secure, and productive lifestyle!


    Sincerely,


    Sheila Simmons


    President, VR Unplugged Inc.
