Better Cleaning Through HGH

Muscling my fridge open I was surprised to see all my cans of pop tumble down, raining carbonation like a mini world series celebration.  Apparently the Barry Bonds method of cleaning your home faster was creating much more of a mess than it cleaned up. The steroids obviously weren't helping.

Asleep in life's waiting room

There were dark nooses swinging in the shadows of his mind.  He wouldn't be ignored.  Asleep in life's waiting room the people of the city were only now becoming aware of their danger.  Time to give the press another lurid headline.  Love and a good knife were enough for immortality.

Ad Screens Everywhere

The cheap, flexible and high resolution displays were initially hailed as a boon by tech fans. Flexible phones and tablets broke less and could be made in any shape imaginable. Then the ads started. Everywhere.  At first seen as annoying the political ads on toilet seats now feel strangely satisfying.

Unintended Consequences

The revolutionary new telomerase therapies greatly increased the life span of the body's cells.  Keeping telomeres (the little caps that protect the ends of the chromosomes) from shortening boosted the immune system and generally lengthened life.  

None of the experts foresaw these immortal cells causing cancer to sweep the world.
