Today's #flashfiction #APennyForOurThoughts

“Spring is in the air.”

      Today I got a new Game Informer magazine in the mail. I read it and found deep wisdom in the subtext. What a document. Seizures were down and that was good. Anyway onto the flash fiction!



A Penny For Our Thoughts



         The commercial flashes on in a jarring instant, interrupting a lovable sitcom: “Now I know that in 2130 we have solved so many of problems with things like cold fusion and cybernetics. But there are still so many things in the everyday that bother us. Like those moments where your trying to think of something and it won't come to you. Or you're a struggling writer, painter or other creative mind and you can't get that flash of inspiration you need. Or you're just sitting there and can't think of what to do. So how do you do? Well we can help! We're The-Penny-A-Thought Corporation , one of the many brain interface corporations available right from your mind wire. We'll license one of our thoughts for just a penny each! Visit our website at....” The commercial continued with contact information and a string of disclaimers. After that a few more commercials and a lovely return to the loveable sitcom. And in the sitcom there was a bit of product placement where they used The-Penny-A-Though Corporation technology to come up with what to get shopping.
