2 The Hologram

Everything she has heard startled her and noticed the footsteps were heavier than that of a common footwear.

"What's this area?"

" They're going to put you inside the capsule for a general medical checkup. Do you know how is it done? The machine will identify the location of the infectious chlamydia trachomatis inside your system outraging your eyes then the experts will just stay beside the hologram located just two meters away from you then the built-in censors to be inserted bringing manute xray thin tubes will identify the bacteria whatsoever in all sorts and the micro endings will inspect the intracellular tissues and in the periphery of your eyes; recommend medicines appropriate for the cure then will give you the proper treatment. If its not responding, a surgery will be done. We don't anymore need an eye donor but its genetically engineered. After this checkup, they'll get one ovum from you and a sperm from someone else,put it on a dish and will be processed by our experts. By principle, the gamete produced by the ovum and spermatozoon will then be artificially engineered within 12 hours. After that, the gamete could become a female human being whose eyes will then be transferred to you through a 30 minute surgery. They will perform the medical procedure through a hologram. In the event, your eyes soon would have microchips. You can read books quickly and even read people's eyes while x-raying their thoughts and many more.

" You mean, I can become a robot myself?"

" No, just your eyes, still your brain is independent from your eyes so there's nothing to worry. Its not your eyes will decide for you but your brain, right? our laboratory have already produced a microchip placed in a silicon. Its different from being a robot which is entirely made of metal and wires.

" Sounds unbelievable." Her smile was full of excitement.

That moment, a couple of Doctors tried to check her and successfully performed the procedure and she was brought to her capsule to get rested.

"Luna, time to get back to the present and keep the future. I'll fetch you there. See yah!" He then closed her capsule.

Then the light brought her to the fire ball in front of her as she fell into it though still she could not see it.

"Luna! where have you been? Daphne surprisingly asked her.

" I explored the attic."

" But I was there to look for you, I see no one, not even your shadow. Anyway, my flight will be in the afternoon today. Luckily, the crematorium had told me everything's under your parents' insurance agents for a half million to - 1 million peso bill. They'll safely place it in an urn and be turned over to you days from now.

" Thank you very much Daphne."

" Keep safe here. Oh, wait. The crematorium wants you to sign these three pages contract. Here." Then Daphne pointed the portion Luna should sign. Outright the signing, Daphne bade goodbye and Luna has heard her crying till her voice faded.

" I'll be missing you my friend." She whispered.

Alone again. She got back to her room by just touching the edges of the walls she had passed by, from downstairs going up on the mezzanine. However, she wondered a bit about the fixtures and furnitures beside the walls that seemed gone. The last time she passed by in those areas of the house, it was too difficult since wirings , vases, big antique jars were everywhere. But just recently she felt it empty.

" Where those things go? Hmm...maybe I was just overwhelmed by the exciting time traveling. Days from now, I could get back seeing everything I missed to see. This is still part of God's plan for me."

She reached her room and went to the bathroom and had a shower. But she turned off the faucet when she'd heard some noise in her room, something fell.

" Who's that? Cotax! Cotax! Are you there?" She immediately grabbed the towel and changed. When she got out, the door was slowly closed.

" No way! there's someone inside or two. Good Lord! please protect me, I wish to live seeing life again. There's a new hope now." She thought.

"Whoever you are, take whatever you want. Just leave me moving around.

There were footsteps getting inside and assisted her to get out of the room. Two men in gears, she presumed - wearing safety gears and held her arms, led her downstairs till they're outside.

" Where am I?

" You're outside your house, standing underneath this shady butterfly tree, fronting your room. Please stay quiet. We have some jobs to do inside. Don't run, the gates are guarded with armed men. Just sit down quietly. Hold this bottled water and a whole loaf bread." The voice walked away with the other one and left her.

She now understand. Thieves invaded her house and taking their things out. But she simply inspire herself thinking of the surgery; of the new eyes soon. She smiled.

" Even if these thieves will take away every material things I possess, they can't take away my happiness in seeing LIFE back." She whispered.

Due to that joyful feeling, she opened the bottle and attempted to drink it but thought.

" I easily opened the bottle, its already opened. Hmm, the thieves gave this to me so there might be something in here as well as the bread. I'll wait for Cotax."

There was silence and she slept.

Someone tapped her shoulder.

" Luna! its me, Cotax. I saw a lot of vans and trucks outside but they just left. What's it all about?"

" They're thieves, they just robbed my house."

" What? I shall shoot them!" Cotax angrily said.

" No! Just leave them."

" Alright! And what's that water and bread for? Eat them before we go."

" Yes, I'm really hungry but I'm just worried, what if these have poisons."

" I'll check it with my wristwatch laser. Wait. Wow! Its true. They have high-calibered poisons.
