This is a short story I’ll have available on Amazon Kindle around April 15^th. It serves well as an introduction to my writing, and explores some of the same themes as My Babylon. Until the 15th, it’s free for my tumblr and blog followers.

Matchmaker

by James L. Wilber

“There’s been an update to the code since you last worked. Don’t forget to check out the new questionnaire.” Dylan, my supervisor, wore a black polo shirt with the company logo, a bracelet made of some alloy, and a couple days worth of black stubble.

Unable to think of a good reason not to, I turned my video on and let him bask in my slothful countenance. Dylan visibly winced when he saw it, then pretended not to notice. “Do you have any questions?”

“Be mindful of the changes in output due to the code update. Items have been added to the questionnaire to take advantage of the new code.” Never question, only regurgitate.

He nodded. “I’ve got three VIP jobs I want you to get done today. Send me a chat message if you need anything.”
