Maaary!! I bought a new tablet! Finally! - Ann joyfully shouted into the phone, dancing around in excitement. – I have saved enough and bought it! Come over quickly, we’ll test it out!
- Cool! – Mary was genuinely happy and not the least bit jealous of her girlfriend. – I am coming right over!..
- Oh, it’s white! – Mary’s face has lit up with a smile of delight. – It’s so neat and beautiful! Congratulations! Have you already downloaded any applications? Is it all ready to go?
- Yeah! - Anna was happy as a child. - I got installed all the software as a bonus! Let's check it out!
The girls started browsing a wonderful new tablet, so long coveted by Anna. Internet, games, applications, two cameras ... In general - a dream, a neat toy for only $300. The girlfriends called all the friends, spoke to anyone they could and watched two movies. All this, of course, could be done with cell phones and usual computers, but doing it with a tablet - the coveted tablet - was really nice.
It was close to 6 pm, the sun was shining outside, the cars were bustling on the street buzzing in traffic, and people were going home from work. Fresh May greenery was whispering something under the pleasant breeze.
- Let’s go take some pictures! - Mary suggested.
- Yeah, for sure! – Anna happily supported the idea.
Quickly (yes, sometimes it happens) having gotten ready the girlfriends went outside. They ran around the backyard and started their photo session.
- Come on, lean against the wall! Take a beautiful pose! Mary, I said BEAUTIFUL pose! Put your leg like that, yes!
Anna started pointing the camera and froze with the astonished look on her face. No click followed.
- Well, what’s the hold up? – Mary was tired of standing in an uncomfortable pose. - Come on, take a picture.
- I do not understand - Anna muttered. - Come over here, I don’t get it. – Anna started looking around with the same puzzled look and looking at the camera.
- Well, what is it? – Mary got away from the wall and went to her friend. She was anxious – she was hoping that the tablet didn’t break or Anna would get upset, because she is very sensitive and she wanted this computer for so long.
Anya continued playing with the tablet and looking at the screen.
- Look, - she turned the tablet to her friend. – Do you see it too?
Masha first blankly stared at the screen, and then looked to where the camera was pointed and gasped:
- What is it?! - Her sky-blue eyes literally jumped out of their sockets.
The camera was aimed at the house, a typical 12-storey apartment building with flower beds in front of it, benches, were young mothers and old ladies were sitting and parked cars. And on the tablet screen ... Oh no, it was something unreal. On the screen she saw an empty space, a lot with scorched land, some truck’s frame and a gray sky...
- Look more! - Anna started turning the table pointing the camera on new objects. But the camera saw something quite different: the ruins of houses, funnels with scorched soil, wasteland of black and gray colors.
The friends looked at each other. They were scared, but at the same time they had that same feeling when you are anticipating an interesting and slightly dangerous adventure.
- Let's take a walk, shall we? - Proposed Anna quietly and softly. Mary nodded, looking at her with the same bulging eyes that were already a little excited.
