Sunday morning, 9:14 A.M., I had just woken up from a mere 6 hours of sleep. My eyes were barely open as I stumbled down the stairs into the kitchen. From the moment I woke up, I craved a piece of cinnamon toast, so I popped a piece into the toaster and started walking to the fridge. 
I never read the newspaper but as I walked past the island of the kitchen, I was tempted to take a glance at it to see what was going on lately. Who knew what was going on in this crazy world, anything from a dog traveling across the world to a computer surviving a ten story drop...who knew. Just as I thought about how crazy something could get, my eyes rolled across the headline of a story: Woman receives first cell phone implant. 
“Who in the world would ever think of getting that!?” I shouted into an empty house of dim light and the aroma of what smelled like a bakery. It must have been the new Christmas Cookie scented Yankee Candle my mom had bought to complete the Christmas feel. 
I immediately sat down forgetting all about that piece of toast, burning little by little in the toaster. This woman must have been crazy, who would ever want to basically be their own cell phone! To me, the world has just become to technology happy. The story was intriguing, but was interrupted as I the burnt toast almost had me gagging. 

To be continued...
