| She was an engineer. She developed a new type of power-suit. It was thin and light, so the person who would wear this suit could move easily; the gears and motor of each joint were small but powerful. The machine operated very quietly, so nobody would notice the person wearing the suit. On this particular day, after working late, she was walking home wearing her power-suit. When she went up the stairs at the station, she changed the gears of the machine using the controller of her wrist. Soon her feet became light. "This is as if I was walking on the moon!" She smiled. Now she came to the downtown area. There were only a few pedestrians in the streets. Suddenly, three young men appeared from the dark alley; their appearance looked like cheap gangsters. One of them, maybe the leader, opened his mouth, "Calm down, please. Unless you
She said angrily, "You are not my type either. Plus, how do you know my age? I might be younger than you." The leader became a little nervous, "You don't seem to be upset in front of us. Are you a policewoman or something like that?" He took a jackknife out of his pocket, and the others followed. She said cheerfully, "Wow! Three men are about to fight a weak old woman." The leader said, "Ok. Talking time is over. We have no time. Throw over your handbag. If you do any inappropriate movement, I can't guarantee your safety and c." She said, "Okay, okay. I'll do just as you said. Calm down, please." She threw her handbag toward him. After throwing him her bag, she quickly changed her suit power to the maximum, and ran toward him swiftly. She punched him in the stomach, next she ran to the next man and hit him in the stomach too. And then, she moved to the last man and punched him on the cheek, as he was a short man. Her movement was so fast that they couldn't react to it. It was almost at the same time that her handbag fell down on the ground that the three gangsters fell down on the ground as well. She breathed deeply once, and turned off her machine. She picked up her handbag. Today's test of the power-suit was over. She smiled, thinking to sell this suit to young women who are at risk to be assaulted. They would be the second sales target after seniors who need the machines' assistance. (The End) |
