In the Future…
 
    A woman held up a infant with brown hair and eyes, his smile and laugh exploded on the camera. The woman smiled brighter in return and brought the child to her and snuggled him in.
    “Dawn Co. The Dawn of a New Era.” The slogan appeared on the screen just as it was spoken. The slogan remained on the screen but the voice continued on, “Bringing you tomorrow’s technology today.”
    It was the end of a fertility clinic commercial, some new technique had been discovered to help those unable to conceive. It was the sixth time I had seen it all day.
    I laid back on the couch. The tv screen I was watching was the window wall. For some reason all the windows double as screens. You can do anything anywhere, all you need is a window. Every panel could be used for something different, or they could all be used together to make one giant screen. Which is what I was using it for.
    Through out the day show after show, and commercial after commercial, one of the side panels to the far right would black out and make a weird noise. I was pretty sure it was an incoming phone call, I didn’t ever bother to answer it. I mean after all, this isn’t my house.
