What a Future!


It's the near distant future. I was out to lunch in some swanky high rise when I suddenly remembered I needed to go visit my mom at work, and actually take her out to lunch! So I rushed out and jumped into my car. In the near distant future cars drove themselves. Tell it where you want to go, and away you go! They were oversized slot cars, something straight out of Blade Runner, very sleek. They ran on these tracks, which made traffic jams and speed limits a thing of the past. They were electric, hardly making any sound at all, which eliminated the use of fossil fuels, putting an end to air and sound pollution. The electricity was stored and collected by solar panels that now lined all roads and highways. What a future. On my way I remembered that I had forgotten to pay for my meal, and worried about that for a little bit, but, in no time I ended up at my Mom's future job. She's the highest regarded Dietitian/ Nutritionist at the Largest "Super Hospital" in Boston. So we meet up, have some small talk, she introduces me to some cute nurse who graduated from Simmons. Then, all of a sudden, warning lights flick on and sirens come blaring out of horns! Over the loud speaker an automated woman's voice comes out telling everyone that we need to evacuate! Evidently some Doctor had knocked over and broke this beaker that contained a super strand of cancer, an airborn virus that if inhaled gives you cancer instantly, like, tumor growths and vital organ shut down within seconds. So we high tailed it out of there! We made it out without getting cancer. The End.
