Short story

Adverts keep appearing on my body

Don't you just hate it when adverts pop up on videos, TV shows and social media. It's the most annoying thing there could ever be and I remember the days before adverts got crazy. The constant of something trying to sell you something, it's tiring. I just hate it when an ad pop up and you have got to watch it before the show comes back on. The world has gone mad and buying and selling is the oldest form of business. Everything is selling a service to someone and that's how society is made, it's by selling to others and buying from others.

I remember waking up in agony and something was being carved on my chest. I took off my shirt and I saw that an advert for a bed and sofa had been marked on my body. It was so painful and then when my wife saw it, she wanted the bed and sofa. She had been thinking of getting a new bed and sofa for about a year now. How advert came onto my body was so random. I didn't know why it had chosen me and I hate adverts. I am someone that doesn't need many things.

Then there is John who is a local salesman and he always has all sort of things to sell. He has gone to prison for going over the top with the selling. He ha blown up someone's car and then tried selling them a car. When he chopped off someone's arm, he tried go sell them a prosthetic arm. He has been arrested thankfully and he should have stopped but he just kept on digging himself a deeper hole.

Then when I was at a gathering, I started to get multiple adverts forming all over my body. It was so painful and then when I took off my shirt, so many were interested as they were looking for whatever was being advertised on my body. Then I realised that whenever I am closed to someone needing of something, an advert gets burnt onto my body. When the advert disappears all of the scars disappears and my skin is as good as new. I don't want advertisements to keep appearing on my body and it's hurting me so much. When I walk through a busy market, my body would covered in adverts and I would be in so much pain.

So I have decided to separate from my family and I have gone to live in an abandoned cabin. There is no one around but then one day I woke up with an advert on my body. It had a baby being sacrificed to some entity, who is wanting this??
