"The new model T is out! With new surround sound and 12k visuals! Don't forget our body/weapon synchronization rate at 85%! The best in the world! It's a true second world! You can get yours today at the Model store!" My television blared as i sat on the couch, depressed and tired of my life. "Hm, maybe I should just give up." I said. It has been 6 months since I lost my job, money, dog, girlfriend, and everything else except for my tv and food. Today, I'm contemplating whether or not I should just
go
to
the
bridge.
I was about to leave when I heard the tv talking about a second world. "Second world eh'? I have about 200 dollars left, and since i'm about to end my life anyway, I should try a video game before I die at least." I thought to myself. After pondering for a while, I finally got up and went to the Model store.
"Hello sir! My name is Charlese! How can I be of assistance today?" The woman at the counter asked.
"Uh can I get the Model X?" I replied
"Are you sure sir? Our new Model T Virtual Gaming helmet is on sale! Only 1200 Solars!"
"No thank you, just the Model X 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦." I said again more sternly.
"Oh, okay then."
-
"Finally home." I exhaled as I got in the house. I sat on my bed and unboxed the raggedy Model X. "Well, let's try this then!"
Solars are equivalent to 2 American dollars.
They are yellow on one side, and orange on another side, with a rising sun on each side.
