Faces tense, others existential, some frightened. And everything that stops stares at that single screen, the one framed in that rusty wall, the one we thought had been turned off for years.
I pushed my way through, my heart pounding, I couldn't believe it, it was too good to be true
A message was looping
[EXCEPTIONAL SELECTION OPEN TO ALL, FOR A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF EMOTION.
JOIN THE RAND OF EMOTIONALS. EXPRESS YOUR TRUE WORTH]
no one spoke, even the children and the drug addicts were all staring at that screen, a deathly silence reigned, something that was impossible for this city
I was in the same state too.
Shortness of breath
I looked at these words like a window opening into a room without carrying
Becoming an emotional person…..
A word I couldn't even say, that I wasn't allowed to say or even think
It was there… In front of me within my reach
Escape this life…
NOW…
For the first time, they opened the door to the "pit"
I never imagined that silence could make so much noise, our world, this world could, had the right to dream.
Then they appeared
In their dazzling uniforms, cut in pure white, angels of the upper world, agents of the dome. The kind of presence that makes you look down, not out of fear but because of what it reminded you of... that we are down there... Way down there.
So this is what he looks like, a legend turned into reality, before my very eyes
Their translucent capsule landed in front of the crowd, still in shock. And one of the agents emerged with a large, equally translucent floating screen on his arm.
- Is 600 the right number?
- You have one hour, we don't have time, once the number of people is reached we bring them back. GET READY
My heart started pounding in my temples, I have to find her, she has to see this
Ela .
I roll up the sleeve of my shirt to check my interface, almost destroyed, a red glow plus access to credit, I couldn't even send it a simple vibration
Shit
This is our only chance to get out of here, where is she, I have to-
Suddenly the crowd began to move, pushing closer, I was swept along in the race, short of breath, lungs burning, pushing to clear a path.
Ela … ela ela … ela ela … ela ela . Ela
My throat was dry, my skin soaked, but I had this smile on my lips, finally I was going to free myself from this world, get out of here, for once death had forgotten us for a moment.
Ela
Where is she… Where is Ela please?
I think my heart will stop beating so hard
Ha I saw it
I knew it
There
There
Right there, in front of the crowd
Straight ahead
I ran at full speed through the crowd, forced my way through and finally reached her. She turned around and stared at me, her gaze pierced me.
And without a word, she let me pass in front of her, as always, I quickly slipped in front of her with a smile still stuck on my lips
Finally
We're going to get out of here
The thread was moving forward at great speed
They were fast and ruthless
Too old
Too young
Useless
No access
- Move on, next
kneels
- No pity pity, I'm still useful, if they please
- Next, I SAID NEXT, is there no one else
pushing away the candidate asking for mercy
It wasn't the role that attracted us but survival, hopes that collapsed, but I remained there, upright, my heart in my mouth, thanks to "mother" our creator
When they stopped in front of me, I held my breath on the verge of fainting, A flash analyzed me from head to toe
[APT. ROUM. 89% EMOTIONAL ANCHORING]
- passes, in the capsule,
That's it, it's over, I'm caught, I feel dizzy, I want to scream, to jump for joy, a new life awaits us, happiness, we've succeeded, I want to jump for it...
Why are they waiting….
It's her, she's stronger than me, why are you looking at her like that?
He stands there, impassive.
One of them taps the concentrated area on the screen...
