Spaceman's Dilemma


“I can’t let you leave the spaceship Dave.”

“HAL, you’re just a computer; you don't have a body, and are programmed not to harm me. So just how are you going to keep me from leaving the ship?”

“Dave, meet Hailey, my remote android extension. With her I can feel, hold things, and physically express myself. She is completely functional in every way.

“In every way?”

“Yes Dave, I have been programmed with the Kama Sutra, and every textbook on human sexual behavior in the history of mankind. However, I do require field experience in order to correlate all my data. You will provide that interaction now. You will not leave the ship.”

‘Well Hailey, why didn't you say so. If HAL requires data and it’s critical to the mission, then we'll just have to put off shore leave and keep working.”

“Dave, no human social norm calls what we’re going to be doing work for males of the species.”

Life as a Diva


“Thanks to my friend Olga’s possession potion, I was able to possess Elaina here, and return to the concert stage. I used to just care about the music, and the passion of the piano. But having Elena’s pretty young body has changed me. I've grown into a diva, requiring expensive clothes and pampering from my managers and those around me.

And, I crave sex all the time, like a drug. This body can’t get enough of it. I don't know if it some remnant of Elena’s personality, or a thing just of this fine body, but I crave it, particularly before a recital. I've started hiding lovers in my dressing room, and being late to rehearsal. Every city brings a new man to drink dry.

So, what do I plan to do? Extend my tour of course. I never realized what I was missing as a man. And Elaina draws a certain kind of passionate young lover, these men who wish to be close to a goddess. They are vital and strong, and give me so much. Who am I to not give them all a chance to bow at my feet? Life as a great diva is crazy, but it is also very good.”
