        I woke up Tuesday, August 16th in the year 2054. It was just like any other day. I was sitting behind my desk in the top company that owns nearly the entire world, NEO Corps., and I was just paper work. It wasn't hard complicated stuff, just simple things that anyone can do if they knew how to read and type fast. I did go to college, but after WW III, anyone who didn't have family members with the top class of society was thrown into the pits of the streets.

I stood from my desk following my boss to a meeting room and walked into the room seeing  a man in a white lab coat sitting in a chair at the end of the table with his head in his hands. His hair went to his shoulders in a black lazy mess as if he just woke up, he was wearing wire glasses that hid his green eyes. I followed behind my boss to the man, as we got closer he looked up and stood yawning, scratching the back of his head. "Hello"
