Chapter1:

In 2068, the year called 'The Fast Year' looking to the fact that technology arrived to a high level, lives John COOPER a very simple young man. John is 20 years old; he's the son of William COOPER, a simple civilian working a receiver in a small hotel which doesn't have the latest technology yet and Stephaney COOPER, a lawyer of big companies, she is known as the strongest lawyer in the country. Now he's living with his dad and stepmother, Alexandra; his mom left them when he was 4 because money made her blind, she couldn't handle the simple life of William and the fact that she has a salary bigger than him. Unfortunately there still those who are crazy for money and don't appreciate simple life and family's love.

  John is a nice brown man with brown eyes, his character is a little hard, he doesn't attend a lot, he has a complex of inferiority but for him it is modesty, he doesn't want to be arrogant but in reality he underestimates himself, he doesn't believe in complements and he thinks that no one really loves him, he believes that people are just handling him; after his mom left him he doesn't believe in love anymore, if his mom didn't care about him who would do? Add to that he is convinced by this and he is a little stubborn, no one could change this idea; somehow he's avoiding the feeling of being disappointed, he hates this feeling too much but life doesn't stop on people's thoughts.

John is in his 3rd year in college, he studies "Machines' Construction" and when I say "machines' construction" doesn't mean simple machines, I'm talking about "time machines" and "car machines" (the cars are not like you're imagining, it's something thousands times more than that) and other machines.

  With all this abilities and this life, the young man has a problem, he does not understand himself, what he wants and what he doesn't, he realized that he is complicated somehow; he stays thinking about what he really wants, what's going in his mind; he is tired of the fact that he can't understand himself.

John goes every day to college and fight with machines, in the afternoon he goes alone to an amazing silent place where no one disturbs him, no people no technology no noise, just air and nature; he feels very comfortable there, he forgets about all the family and school problems even his thoughts that he can't understand; he just cleans his mind and stares at the trees and listen to birds. His life was a routine, nothing special, nothing exciting and nothing new; always the same things: going to school, staying alone, getting back home, locking on himself in the room, reading books about machines, doing researches but he has enough of his situation and his routine, he couldn't carry on with that, he's stuck in his thoughts and himself; he just wants to know what he really wants, What's turning in his mind. Day by day he hates himself more, wants to have a rest from all those shits until the waited idea comes to his mind, finally a good idea away of all the rubbish that turns in his mind.
