THE GIRL

One month later…

"Why don't you tell him who you are?" I looked back at him with fiery eyes while sitting at my pod and he said moving a few steps back "I am sorry I read some of the transcripts... maybe most of it. BUT I am not judging you, I am just saying tell him the truth. If it doesn't work out, you know you can just start over again by resetting to an older version"

I turned back again starting to remove my shoes and said: "and then what? Is he supposed to accept everything?...sometimes it feels like I am committing a crime or something."

"You just did what felt right to you. Trust me, I have seen worse."

"you won't understand; you people see emotion as a subconscious recollection of events triggering the experience or something even more complicated. To me they are much more simple, a drive to feel good. You should take notes, only geniuses see the power in simplicity."

"So we are just empty people with no empathy, aren't we? doing what our ego and selfish desires tell us to do" He said with a smirk on his face. I smiled too and said: "maybe."

A man from far away in the room shouted: "Hey Raymond, we have a new upload."

I looked back at him and said: "Go Raymond, one more rich asshole needs your help."

"And you are just an asshole."

I stood up completely naked and stood really close to Raymond.

"how come you never told me your name before?"

"We are not supposed to tell them," he said, raising his left eyebrow, he was clearly not comfortable with the distance.

"well I know now."

I walked to an open pod and layed down in it. He took out his tablet and made some touches on It and said: "we are ready to go."

I adjusted myself as the glass cover started to cover the pod I was sleeping in. I looked at Raymond and said, "don't be a stalker when I am gone and stare at me."

He smiled lightly and said, "I have better-looking girls to stare at if I desire, you need not to get your hopes high."
