His doorbell rang and it was so unusual to hear it that it made his heart jump. The pumping heart beat wildly and caught him by surprise. He was too nervous to go to the door. The bell rang again. He felt a cold sweat form on his forehead.

The computer screen was flashing some foreign vid featuring an old Italian woman crushing an adolescent boy's face into her enormous breasts. The dubbed voiceover made the woman sound like she was from Brooklyn:

"Oh honey, what a good boy you are! Come to mama! Mama loves to feel you next to her! You're such a good little boy!"

Golam went to the door and opened it.

It was the delivery-chick from Nuts & Bearings, the local cyborganic simu-store that he ordered his groceries from.
