Dex’s glasses auto-tinted as light reflected off the cylinder.
The ASMR hum intensified in response to his rapid pulse.
Admiring the white lettering on red, a genuine 2024 edition, Dex could hardly believe it.

A hiss.
Tiny droplets sprayed his fingers – dermoshield gloves muting the sensation.
‘Meditation mode activated’
His neuroprotector.
Yellow flowers filled his vision.
‘Cancel’
Dex raised the cylinder to his lips.
An explosion of taste!
‘Sedative advised’
His neuroprotector took over, Xanax numbing his senses.
Eyes drooping, Dex read ‘Taste the Feeling’
