It was just another ordinary day in Jeremy's apartment complex. Everything was always in order. Every shoe was in the right spot. Every second was at the right time. Everything is in perfect harmony. Jeremy grabs his glasses and starts to get ready for work. He grabs his pants and puts them on in an orderly fashion. He grabs his SpeakoWatch and puts it on his arm. "Speako, what is the temperature today?"
"The Temperature is... 88 degrees Fahrenheit... Any other questions Jerome?" Spoke the watch in a very soothing voice. "Don't call me Jerome" Jeremy says with a smirk, "And what time is it Speako?"
"It is 9:35 A.M. on Friday, December 15th" It sure is a cold Friday Jeremy thought as he grabbed his coat and went down the stairs outside. As Jeremy opens the brass metal doors, he looks up to the perfect blue sky hiding from the skyscrapers and apartment complexes. Jeremy slowly starts to walk to his job (at a shoe factory) in a happy stride like he always does. Jeremy loves his job as throughout his life he always was obsessed with shoes. Why would I want to be a businessman or a janitor? Those jobs are annoying and boring Jeremy thought as he passed a man in a tuxedo and a man cleaning in a coffee shop. Jeremy usually blocks these things out as they distract him from his beautiful stroll through his neighborhood. People just seem to vanish out of thin air just at the sight of someone disturbing his peace. Jeremy shivers as a gush of wind passes through his coat as he crosses the street. "Oh not this ad again," Jeremy says as the Speakowatch 12 ad popped up on the corner of his eye that has popped up since the release of the product (he currently has the 11 as he bought it from getting ads from it for 2 years straight). "If you loved the Speakowatch 11 then you'll love the Speakowatch 12! With 20 new voice modes and 5-minute updates of the best things to do around your town!" The ad played in Jeremy's head like the process of reliving a memory. Jeremy finally gets to the factory and goes to the board of jobs to do. The board is changed every day so no one can feel like they are doing the same job every day. "Jeremy Ruther...Heel Implanter." Well, today is gonna be busy thought Jeremy as Heel Implanter was the most tedious task on the line.
"Another wonderful day!" Jeremy says as he walks out of the factory having the best Heel Implanter shift anyone could have. He looked down at his own shoes and thought of the process of making them. His shoes were made of the finest brown leather he had ever seen and his laces looked that of gold. He always marveled at his shoes whenever he wasn't doing anything considered important. Memories come back and forth every once in a while. What comes back more than ever is the feeling of wanting to buy certain foods or wanting a new speakoWatch. The ad company sure has a way with getting there products stuck in your head. He takes a swig of his completowater, then sits down on his couch and starts watching tv. The usual shows are on (His favorites!). The episode that was playing when he turned it on was "The History of Shoes: One Shoe fits All!" It was the episode about shoes made in the 2000's. How odd the technology was just 100 years ago. At least I am not stuck in 2015 where you had to watch TV on a screen that took a portion of your room, Jeremy thinks as the show dives into the technology of that era. Jeremy coughs like he always does once in a while. It's normal for a 20 year old to start having respiratory problems. You are starting to hit the golden years of your life. Life expectancy only makes it to 40 in this day and age. In a perfect world, something had to be sacrificed and for us it was time. "Jerome, do you want to continue watching?" my SpeakoWatch asks as I slowly doze off. "Umm No thank you speako, Thank you for reminding me."
"Any more questions Jerome?" Speako says in a very monotone way. "Are there any important events coming up Speako?" Jeremy says in a sleepy mood.
"Let me calculate," Speako says. You can hear the watch start to process the information and slowly starts to vibrate. "You don't seem to have any events, However, the Annual SpeakoWatch parade for Independence is tomorrow. Would you want to go to that?"
"Of course, I would love to go to that!" Jeremy says, "It gives me a chance for a free SpeakoWatch 12!"
"Of course sir, I will inform your boss you will not make work tomorrow. Care to go to bed Jerome?" Speako says without hesitation. "Of course Speako, You may shut down now."
"Goodnight Jerome and may the eyes of your world shine brighter every day."
