5 years in the futur

5 years in the future ....

MIT grads have sold astigmatism-correcting screen-overlays to every iPhone owner on the planet.
All the old folks have myopia-correcting heads-up displays on their car wind-shields. Furthermore, they are so senile, they have forgotten where they left their reading-glasses.
All the yuppy teenagers have been brought up with instantaneous vision-correction built into their Google glasses.
Optometrists have almost gone out of business.
You cannot buy contact lenses for love or money.
Laser eye surgeons have gone bankrupt.

A young skydiver outflies his buddies and opens over a rough neighborhood. He swoops past laundry lines and trash cans to land in a back alley. He is confronted by a gang of (pick the visible minority that scares you the most) who relieve him of his parachute, wing-suit and helmet. The helmet contains a half-dozen, prosumer electronic gadgets. The rig cost more than any of their cars and helmet cost more than any of their houses.
Our hero wakes up in a back alley with no shoes, no skydiving gear and little more than shorts and the t-shirt on his back. The gang of (insert the visible minority that scares you the most) stripped him of all his ID, all his papers, all his electronic gadgets and his ability to see clearly.

How does he navigate back to civilization?

How does he navigate back to civilization?

He waits 15 minutes for the next jump plane to take off from the drop zone, and he walks towards the take-off point underneath it.

Remember that his vision was seriously degraded when his fancy glasses were confiscated.

He goes through the gang initiation ritual, becomes a member, gets his stuff back and heads back home.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Is this a new trend? Let's all post in gibberish.

He uses the sun for celestial navigation since it was not said that it was a night jump. (No flashbacks!)

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

1: He keeps walking down hill till he reaches the sea.

2: He swims to Hawaii.

3: He thumbs a lift on a flight back to the mainland.

Sorted!.
