2.0

basically the first story hooked me -- i think it really connected because of all of the time i've spent in chat rooms and, as a teenager, in forging relationships with strangers online that crossed some boundaries.  the other two stories were the pits.  really awful, amateurish writing and plots that didn't grab me nearly as much as the first one did.  read the title story, get your gross-out for the day, and don't bother with the rest.
