"The concepts developed in the attached story-boards build on and exploit the success of Bio-DNA's super-premium product placement." Rick Peters considered his last sentence, made sure the attachments were, in fact, attached, and clicked send.

Two seconds later, his computer chimed and he glanced at it, expecting to see one of the auto-answers he always got when he sent e-mails to upper management. Instead, he saw a private message from Human Resources.

He frowned. Bosses made a point to deliver big pay raises and promotions themselves. Dan Hughes, V.P. of Sales and Marketing had made a point of telling Rick he was due for something special. So, this was probably just another H.R. busy-work thing. Like that union-busting presentation he'd sat through the previous month or the **** testing orientation they'd made him sleep through last year. He got up from his desk, took a sip of coffee and headed down the hall to Pricilla Goodman's office.

NOTE: This story is about the development of Rick's skills through his self-training and through his self-medication using bio-DNA. Rick starts out pretty nerdy and it will take some time and choices to reach the point where he can effectively seduce women, not to mention achieve wealth, power and ****. To alleviate this, I'll include some of Rick's fantasies. These will be marked as (fantasy) and will be optional... viewing them will not progress the story but also will not count against the player. This game is best played as a game... please press the "start game" link.

At this point, the story is pretty linear. I hope to add a variety of branching paths with the decisions you make influencing your story. For now, I'm trying to get a single complete story arc going.

Like all of the authors here, I appreciate the 'likes' and find them motivational to keep writing. So, if you want to see more, you know what to do.

For now, at least, I am replying to all comments and using your inspirations to help me move forward with the story. Please feel free to comment and offer suggestions.
