What the future holds...

With the time difference between them she often joked about her friend living in the future. "What's it like there?" she would ask. "Oh, you wouldn't believe it!" her friend replied, playing along. "There are robots zooming around everywhere and they are very friendly. Some people have pet dinosaurs, but only plant eaters like the Brontosaurus, and they slide down their long, long necks. And, of course, there are teleporters that can beam me to you immediately. Nothing is how it was." She smiled, lost in the make-believe like a young child captivated by his mother's bedtime tales. Wanting, so badly, to know what the future holds.
