the life and adventures of mr sloto

A fight with MegaVirus

It had all been a very long, surreal nightmare. Mr. Sloto arrived at his home with Mrs. Sloto, feeling fresh after a deep maintenance on his hardware and software. He headed toward his workstation, “I’m going to check my emails, probably have hundreds of fan mail since my hospitalization.”

“Oh – but remember the virus!” – retorted Mrs. Sloto. Mr. Sloto had forgotten what he heard in the hospital. Over the last few weeks a powerful MegaVirus was making the Internet collapse by infecting servers throughout the globe. “We lost access to internet connection two days ago here in this region.” explained Mrs. Sloto.

The world was in chaos; with no Internet, markets had begun to collapse, supermarkets were running dry and people began to feel an emotion they had avoided for years: boredom.

“I can’t let this happen!” shrieked Mr. Sloto, “People are going to go insane without a healthy dose of entertainment.”

Mr. Sloto had an idea. He had an outlet in his frame to connect to the internet and thought about getting online to infect his system with the MegaVirus. He would then try to analyze the MegaVirus and discover its weaknesses. If he would become overpowered, Mrs. Sloto would do a hard shutdown of his system and restore him to a previous configuration.

“Ok, let’s do this,” replied Mrs. Sloto when she heard the plan. They immediately drove to a region where Internet access was still available.

Mr. Sloto remained utterly still as Mrs. Sloto brought the LAN cable to his network outlet. “At the count of three I’ll plug it in. “One… two… three!”

Mr. Sloto's eyes turned fiery red, smoke emerged from all his sockets and he heated up like a rocket reentering the Earth. “Give me a sign my Love” exclaimed Mrs. Sloto, unsure if she should shut him down or give him time to wrestle with the MegaVirus.

the life and adventures of mr sloto

The Heights of a New Dawn 

The evening came with majestic colors, everyone in awe looking up at the imposing peak of Everest. One representative of each group spoke about how they foresee the future of humanity. It was soon Mr. Sloto’s turn to speak to the survivors of the cataclysm, when suddenly, in the distance, several red and orange lights were seen. Everyone fell silent. The lights made random and quick patterns in the sky.

“What are they?!” – spoke a leader from South America.
“Is that….” – voiced a leader from Siberia.

The lights got closer and closer. Mr. Sloto stared amazed at the patterns they made. Soon enough, they were so near you could see a kind of translucent metal that gave out all kinds of light.

“Stop Mr. Sloto” – yelled Mrs. Sloto as Mr. Sloto hypnotically started to walk to the nearest peak.

Mr. Sloto continued his way and the flying objects got closer to him. Suddenly, they were only a few dozen feet from his head. Mr. Sloto raised his arms and, in that instant, a bright white light was shot out of the bottom of the flying object. The entire Himalayan Island was engulfed in white light.

Moments later Mr. Sloto woke up on a bed, hearing beeping sounds around him. The light was very strong and there were beings moving around him. He then began to hear voices: “He will survive, it’s was just a blown circuit near his main frame.”

Mr. Sloto was able to focus his eyes better after they became accustomed to the light. What he saw shocked him to the core of his reels.

He was in a hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and scientists. Mrs. Sloto was right beside him.

“Where am I?” – asked Mr. Sloto.

The main doctor came next to him and spoke: “We are glad to see you recover consciousness. Since your house burnt down after Christmas, your system went into complete shock. We had to hospitalize you for several weeks now. You could only mumble words here and there, but it seems you were running various simulations in your head, possible scenarios of doom: flooding, volcano gods, invasion of the Earth by extraterrestrials.”

Mr. Sloto could not believe his ears. He had been dreaming all those crazy scenes.

“You need to remain at rest, until we are sure your system is back to normal” – said the doctor. “When you get out, you will need to stay isolated as much as possible, because of the virus…”

Mr. Sloto, perplexed, said out loud: “VIRUS?!”

the life and adventures of mr sloto

The Heights of a New Dawn 

For weeks, the islanders sailed under the guidance of Mr. Sloto, who rationed their food and water, played games with the young and danced in the evening while they played traditional music. They kept their spirits high even though they had no idea if they would reach dry land any time soon.

Mr. Sloto studied the stars at night and tried to sail northward from their original departure point, while Mrs. Sloto would make a nice oil tea from the oily branches they brought from the island to keep both of them functioning optimally.

Then, one morning the sun did not come up. Mr. Sloto was awake and knew exactly the time the sun should have come up, but it didn’t. He waited and waited until a huge shadow emerged in the sky. Gradually daylight illuminated the sky and a huge landmass of rock and mountain came into view. The sun rose an hour later from behind the huge mountain.

“Everest!” – exclaimed Mr. Sloto, “This is what I was aiming for, the highest peak on planet Earth!” The entire Himalayan range was still above sea water but the levels had risen considerably leaving only the highest levels of the mountains exposed. As they got closer to the mountains they could see campfires everywhere, as well as thousands of boats and arcs anchored by the shore.

People from all over the world welcomed the newcomers. “Welcome to the Himalayan island” said a group of people waiting by the shore. As Mr. and Mrs. Sloto got off their arc, they were helped by the dozens of new Himalayan inhabitants. The islanders were assisted off the boat one by one and received appropriate clothing as the temperature was much cooler here than on their former island.

“Tonight, there will be a congregation”, explained a young man to Mr. Sloto, he continued: “All the survivors of the earth will create a new civilization, a new chapter of hope for mankind. A new government will be established and we are looking for fair, honest and hard-working individuals that will steer forward the human enterprise.”

The islanders and the Sloto’s were given a big tent furnished with warm beds, water and some fruit. Most took a long rest before the important meeting that evening…
