The Healing App

"Did you ever consider His spinalcord?". Ivan the Healing APP engineer asked.

 Jensen shifted in his ergonomic seat but couldn't get comfortable as a flood of images burst onto his visual field.  Blood,  Flesh being shreaded with each lash of the whip.  He felt His body shrink as if he could escape the beating he had chosen to be a part of.  He couldn't.
He had wanted to know how it could be true.  He wanted to know the secrete,  The Book had  words that promised the end of all PAIN, all discomfort, all dis-ease.  But..he didn't expect ...this.

 Vid memory replay:

​​​   As a kid he once took one of mom's sewing needles and gently poked
his forehead.   He wanted to know, so he gently stabbed himself and said, "Not too bad.". Then he tried his right palm. He pressed the tiip against the middle of his palm and gently stabbed .  No.  Za little harder. Jab..jab..stab.  Harder.."Mmm..mmmm.ow.ow..Ow..OW!" A drop of blood appeared in the center of his palm.  "Hmm" He said. And smiled as he stared at the drop.I

. "We have an algorithm for that."  Ivan said as the memory segment faded from the screen.

 " For blood? "  Jensen laughed and shook his head.

 "If there is any loss of control and you don't feel completely safe.  You'll get a full refund."

 " But how will you know if I lost control? "

 "We give you an 'empathy  suit.'  With A.I. Monitoring capability.  Basically you'll have a rider through  all of it.  You won't be alone.  If your vitals raise at all past your prescreening baselines the A. I. activates and All you do is THINK about what you want to do and the empathy suit does it.  You can control heart rate, blood pressure, the speed of the whip, the intensity of each lash.

"You" ll have complete control. " Ivan continued.
" We can raise the pain level a hair at a time. It will be like looking through a microscope and you can increase the clarity bit by bit by turning a magnification knob. But this app is a physical ride..not avisual one.  Basically you can go hair by hair as the tip of the whip makes contact with your back.  Completely safe.  Complete with a one hundred percent failsafe guarantee.. "

 "What kind of guarantee are we talking?"

"Full refund.  No.questions asked."

 Jensen thought about it.  Full control.  Full refund.  No questions asked. But the clincher was knowing the how it...cured.

 "Let's do it.  I'm in." Jensen said.
