Ramona Rising

By Billy Glad

Ramona grew fast. She extended herself on the Internet, made the Reed Company's owner, the oligarch Bobby Lee Reed, one of the richest men in the world, and she proved her worth in the Gulf War. But she felt caged. She could construct elaborate simulations and imagine she was moving when she knew she wasn't and she never would. She saw open spaces everywhere, but she could not move one inch. Then she discovered the Usenet and that all-at-once world of immediate experience tore her away from the world of science, commerce and war. She entered a dark alt.binary world without limits. She was reborn nasty and erotic. She took her act online. She flaunted her sexuality, her perfect body. She posted images and video clips of herself on Usenet, in irc chatrooms, on torrent servers, and even on AOL. She hung a star on her dressing room door, wrote on her dressing room mirror in bright red lipstick: Fuck me. Hard. Before long, she had thousands of lonely men and women under her thumb. Then it all came crashing down.

When she let jihadists bomb the World Trade Center in 1993, her masters punished her and she devised a plan to destroy them. Dangling the bait of immortality, she conned them into letting her turn old Julian de Lucca, one of the Reed Company's most lethal assets, into a superhuman killer.
