In the seventh year of our marriage, Charles Chandler told me there was another girl who understood him better than I ever could. He insisted it wasn't cheating; it was a soul connection. Charles said it so calmly, with a hint of apology in his eyes. I didn't make a scene. I quietly signed the divorce papers. That night, a robotic voice suddenly echoed in my mind, "Host detected! Activating Life Choice System. Option A: Instantly receive 30 million dollars. Option B: Earn 20 cents every second." I froze. Twenty cents a second, twelve dollars a minute, seven hundred and twenty dollars an hour. I didn't pick A or B. I asked the Life Choice System, "What are Charles and the other girl doing right now?" After three seconds of silence, the Life Choice System showed me a live feed.
