"Thank you."
Everyday was the same. Before the Pods they had bunks, and
before the bunks they had nothing. But everyday was the
same. She would rise with the sun. To the sound of birds
chirping and a nearby brook babbling. Artificial. See-Screens
lined the LiWo on every wall and the ceiling above. Everyday
is Spring.
She wondered where they came from, which type of bird had
laid them and wether they're as free as she is now.
"The birds..that laid the eggs, where do you think they are?"
And that's when she saw it. Whatever "It" was. Like the
clouds had shattered in the sky and were falling all around
her. Scintillient. Disney dust. What is it? She felt cold. Colder
than she had ever been.
She saw in his face something that she hadn't seen in as long
as she could remember. What was it? She felt sick. She had to
lay down. She was so cold. She was scared. She was not
work-ready.
"It can't hurt us" he said simply, not taking his eyes off this
new wonder before him. The cloud-fall was covering the
ground now, thick and heavy. The birds had stopped singing,
the brook was no longer babbling. A Cold, white silence.
And that's how it was. Silent. Together they watched their
world turn white.
"Is it..?"
"No. Not that. But I don't think we're meant to work right
now."
"What is? What's out there? Paul please, close the seal and
we can just work today and maybe next-work it will be like it
was before"
"No"
She raised herself up off the ground where she had collapsed
into a puddle of bitter tears. How could he have just left her.
What was she going to do now? The work takes two. And she
was one. Maybe they will bring him back to her, yes, they'll
find him out there and he will be PunExd but they will bring
him back and things will be like they were before.
