The year is 2082 and life is about how you’d expect it would be after all the futuristic movies let us down. It’s the same old stuff, kids go to school, there is a divide in class and everyone just kind of stumbles around in life hoping for a better future. My unproposed wife and I, are a couple seeking that better future, a nice job away from the lower class we grew up knowing. This meant taking any and the best schooling we could get ourselves accepted into. I got accepted into a prestigious business school on the east coast of the US while she got accepted into a high end tech school in Japan.
We find ourselves in the mall saying our goodbyes, sitting in the food court enjoying some of our favorite junk food meals. it’s busy and loud with chatter as young adults still celebrate being done with their initial years of schooling. Younger kids enjoy the upcoming break from another year done in the class room. “It will be 4 years but you know we will see each other often and I can facetime you every night.” she breaks the silence.
