The best experience you can imagine (Five minutes freewrite)

When the transaction went through and he had all the credits in his account, Jake Welsh decided it was a moment worth celebrating - with a cold beer and a video. Not just any video, that video, the most treasured in his vault. Where the people of old had their private porn stash, now they all collected dream videos. Sometimes their own, but most of the times the amazing fantasies their peers shared online.
Jake let himself immersed in the sensuous atmosphere, drinking in every little detail of Sun Wei's face, the slightly upturned nose and the full lips, wearing just a delicate shade of pink. Soon, he, too, will experience what it feels like to have an erotic Thai massage at the hands of the beautiful Sun Wei, somewhere on an exotic beach, with the calm waves lapping in the distance and a bottle of champagne in the cooler. The Thai bliss video belonged to Warren Simm, the millionaire company president nobody ever saw at their headquarters as his limousine took him to a private elevator that went straight to his top-floor office, where it was said, the boss had a Jacuzzi and a private chef at his orders. However, Mr. Simm shared his dreams with his staff on the company Intranet. They were one big happy family after all. That's how he knew Mr. Simm had a Dreamscape Deluxe and he had been saving every penny to get himself one.

As Employ 3rd Class, Jake had a Dreamscape 2050, standard edition, guaranteed to give you the best experience you can imagine. All the devices offered that and Jake had had great nocturnal experiences, but nothing close to the quality of Mr. Simm's videos. The Dreamscape device had been around for five years now and people were encourage to invest in the miracle headset that allowed for a much needed relaxation. The conventional wisdom was that with modern busy lifestyles people needed more relaxation than their schedules or, let's face it, financial possibilities allowed. It was an established scientific fact that having a pleasant dream made you wake up in a good mood and full of energy, which meant higher productivity and an altogether better experience in the workplace. Like everybody in his income-class, Jake dreamed of nights out at the bar with his buddies, meeting a beautiful woman and having sex, sometimes the occasional trip to a casino, but not even close to what Simm had access to. Hell, he did not even dream a holiday down in Mexico, like George Brunswick, his division manager, seemed to enjoy on a regular basis. But than, Brunswick was Employee First Class and owned a Dreamscape Gold.

The next day, Jake Welsh went to the mall straight from the office and waited patiently while the store clerk brought him the Dreamscape Deluxe. The clerk even excused himself for the delay, it was just that they only had a few Deluxe models in a secure back room, while the merch on the shelves was the standard version. 'Not everyone can afford the top of the line version', he explained. Jake took this as a compliment and smiled knowingly. The clerk had no way of knowing all his life savings and the proceeds from selling his late mother's few possessions went into the purchase of this state of the art dream engine.
He went to bed early that night, wandering what will it be - the Thai massage, scuba-diving in the Maldives or a state-dinner in Washington. He hoped for a night with Sun Wei or a girl just as beautiful.
He dreamed he was at a football game and his team won the championship. All his friends were there and they celebrated with a barbecue at Hank's place. Not impressive, but than even Mr. Simm sometimes dreamed of being home and resting by the pool with his wife, a gorgeous woman, but still, just his wife.
The following night he dreamed he was buying a new car and then picked up a cute girl who readily accepted to come back to his place. His best experience with the miraculous device was getting a promotion and moving in a new condo with a pool. For some reason, all the other residents were very young women who loved to sunbathe topless. Nice, but no match to the beautiful Sun Wei.

After two weeks, Jake Welsh went back to the store and demanded to have a word with the manager. He took all his most recent dream videos on a memory stick to back his case. Surely, the man will see the device was faulty and will have it replaced. He had paid good money so he deserved the best dreams available. To his immense surprise, the manager smiled coldly and shoved a leaflet under his eyes.
'Says very clear here, sir. The best experience you can imagine. As Employ Third Class all you can hope for is a barbecue with your buddies and a quick blowjob by the side of the road. You cannot really imagine what a Thai massage on the beach feels like, because you've never had one. And never will, might I add. Dreaming of something that is not within your means would only leave you wanting, which would defeat the purpose of this device'.
Jake Welsh decided to volunteer for extra-time, work two more hours every day and maybe in a couple of years he'll make it to Second Class Employee.
