You're a thirty-five year old guy and you don't like your life right now. You had just been laid off and you didn't think you would be able to get another job before your funds dried up. You had been looking for a job but so far you've had no luck. Your girlfriend left you when you were laid off with the excuse that she didn't think you loved her. You think that she was just freeloading off of you. You were in danger of losing your apartment because the manager had said he hadn't received your rent for the past three months. With all that has been going on you were seriously thinking about suicide.
Walking down the street thinking about how you were going to end your life. As you round a corner you see a building with a sign reading New Life Technologies. You hadn't heard of that before so you decide to go in before you end your life. You walk in and a lady at the desk says "Welcome to New Life Technologies. How may I help you?"
"What is this place?" you asked.
"It's New Life Technologies sir" the lady said.
"What do you do?" you asked.
"We give people new lives" the lady said. "Would you like a new life sir?"
"I would but I doubt that I could afford one" you said sullenly.
"Not to worry sir" the lady said. "We have affordable prices for people in your position."
"What position is that?" you asked.
"Well you've obviously lost your job" the lady said. "I'm guessing that you've had a lot happen to you recently."
"You're right" you said. "I still don't think I can afford a new life though."
"Trust me sir, you can afford a new life" the lady said with a smile.
You couldn't help but smile yourself. "How much will my new life be?" you asked not really believing that you could afford a new life.
"For you our Deluxe Package is one hundred dollars" the lady said. "That includes body modification including nationality, age, sex, species, and inanimate changes, transport to any time and place in history, and placement in a family if you should choose to be a minor."
"I'll believe that you can do that when I see it" you said and chuckled. If nothing else your spirits were lifted momentarily.
"Would you like to go for the Deluxe Package sir?" the lady asked.
"Why not" you said with a shrug. "I won't be alive much longer. I might as well spend what money I do have."
"Ok sir" the lady said. "We need to know what you want your new life to be."
