| She took a red pill and placed a special headphone on her head. She closed her eyes and laid on the sofa. Soon the drug started to take effect. The atmosphere around her became dark at first, but then brightened little by little. She opened her eyes. It was the forest. She was leaning on a tree. Soon she realized a man was approaching her. She jumped up. She recognized him, he was her boyfriend. Or, rather, he had been her boyfriend. Recently, she has been in a difficult time period in her life. She is a manager of a company, and the company has been in danger because of the bad economy. She has been feeling a great pressure. In her private life, she acted badly toward her boyfriend. A few weeks before her boyfriend moved out from their apartment with a message saying that they should break up. She knew it was not his real thoughts. She
After his death, she quit her job. She went to his hometown and met his parents and apologized to them. They said that they didn't think it was her fault. It made her more depressed; she secretly wanted them to accuse her of his death. After this, she became more and more neurotic. Eventually she found this shop. In this shop she gave a couple of her boyfriend's photos to the clerk, and they made a special program for her to treat herself with. Now she was waiting for him. Her boyfriend approached her. Her mind pounded. He smiled at her but said nothing. She remembered that the clerk asked if she had a voice recording of his. She didn't have any voice recording of him even in her cellphone. She apologized to him again and again. He nodded. She asked him whether he regretted about being his girlfriend. His appearance became sad and strongly shook his head. She cried hard nodding confirming his announcement. After a while, she realized that his body became a little transparent, and started to fade away. She repeated how much she loved him. He nodded gently and smiled at her, until he disappeared completely. At that point she opened her eyes. She laid on the sofa for a long time and finally after a while she got up and paid, then left the shop. Walking outside, she was thankful for the new technology, and began to think how to start her new life. |
