Overwhelmed by debt, Bob planned to end his life.

  He plugged in for one last time.

  A virtual advertisement popped up: ‘All your debts can be forgiven.’

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  “How?”

  His question triggered a sales bot.

  “Thank you for your interest, Bob. We can relieve you of all your debt.”

  “Yes, like I asked: how?”

  “The Upload.”

  “The what?”

  “The Upload, Bob, in exchange for all debts paid, your consciousness gets uploaded, and we take ownership of your physical body.”

  “So I’d be stuck in a virtual limbo?”

  “Not at all, Bob. We’re developing androids right now. You can beta test one.”
