This short story was written in 2017 as part of a contest submission for XPrize. Unfortunately, I did not win, but had a lot of fun writing it. I recommend reading the description after you read the story, as it may provide some spoilers, but that is up to the reader. Below is the description of the contest and rules: Your flight has been mysteriously transported 20 years into the future. How could this happen? Wait, that's not important. Take a deep breath. Look around. Without a doubt, the world has changed. What new technologies and innovations have reshaped the way we live? XPRIZE, ANA and the world's top science fiction storytellers are embarking on a journey to 2037, envisioning a world transformed by exponential technologies and a global community of innovators. We'd like for you to join us. Seat 14C is, at its core, an earnest endeavor into our possible future. We invited storytellers from around the world to submit their visions of 2037, as told from a passenger aboard ANA Flight 008. Your short story is a first-person account of the passenger seated in 14C aboard ANA Flight #008. What does this person experience as they arrive in 2037 and explore a changed world? How has emerging (or not-yet-invented) technology altered society for the better, and how does your character discover and interact with this technology? We are hopeful for our future, and we ask that your story creatively weaves technology and culture, envisioning an optimistic and exciting future for mankind.
