The wind whispers a woman's name, just like some 1960's icon once sung. A parallel world seems to have risen overnight. The streets are pleasant pathways, broad gardens that lie before us. A huge screen presents the image of the Counsellor.
"Fellow citizens, we have come a long way. Our dark days are nothing but a faded remembrance, distant and pale. Behold the progress perceptible to one's eye, in absolute peace. We sail placid waters. We are witnessing unprecedented events in History. We have extirpated all the vices and seeds of evil that were available to everyone, polluting our society. Freedom of expression under the most various forms is a reality. Comfort and safety are a common practice among us. We can now travel to distant galaxies and visit the depths of the ocean. We achieved great discoveries in medical and technological research. Famine and violence aren't the perpetual thorns that used to haunt us in the past."
Cars are hoovering in suspended highways, surrounding the giant glass urb, shielded from radiation by the big bubble that protects us from every light wavelength shorter than 4000 angstrom units. A shrill beeping sound suddenly echoes. I open my eyes. I'm still in bed.
