I had a weird idea for a story yesterday.\u00a0 I went to the library and parked in the underground parking lot of the JFSB, and when the library closed at midnight, I came back and found the garage completely empty.\u00a0 I was on the bottom floor, but forgot that the exit is only on the second floor, so I drove to where the exit should have been and found myself looking at a sign that said “NO EXIT.”<\/p>\n
This made me wonder…what if you were trapped in an underground parking garage that, for some inexplicable reason, had no exits?\u00a0 That the more you tried to find one, the more lost you’d become.\u00a0 And it was completely empty?\u00a0 And it was night?<\/p>\n
Also, today at work I had an interesting idea–how to turn telepathy into a reality.\u00a0 First, design a computer interface that connects directly to the human brain, without the need for a keyboard or a mouse or anything else.\u00a0 Next, surgically implant these computers into people, and connect the computers to the internet.\u00a0 You could open an IM box and chat with people directly, mind to mind.<\/p>\n
Of course, you would still have to use words and language, since your mind has to translate your thoughts into words, which the computer can process into data, which the other computer can interpret as words, which the other person can then understand.\u00a0 Still, it would be interesting, wouldn’t it?\u00a0 Imagine the ability to IM anyone at any time, directly through your brain…<\/p>\n
…holy cow, I would never<\/em> get anything done!<\/p>\n Anyways, it’s WAY past my bedtime (my self-imposed bedtime, I’ll have you know, which unfortunately I have not been imposing nearly enough on myself.\u00a0 That will have to change in the near future).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had a weird idea for a story yesterday.\u00a0 I went to the library and parked in the underground parking lot of the JFSB, and when the library closed at midnight, I came back and found the garage completely empty.\u00a0 I was on the bottom floor, but forgot that the exit is only on the… Continue reading Trapped in a parking garage and other late night story ideas<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[98,83,97,99,52,96],"class_list":["post-401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-horror","tag-inspiration","tag-language","tag-science-fiction","tag-story-ideas","tag-telepathy","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7iXK-6t","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8030,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401\/revisions\/8030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
