Remember February 12, 2022. Here We Are.

Tribute and stylistic exercise.

The day was sunny, cold February was the month. It was five of clock in the evening, Nelson Equis with his collar turn up was trying to shun the velocity gusts. He came in through a glass door that said ‘Messenger Laboratories’ on it above his head, but he stumped inside slowly so that a cloud of dust and grit could follow him in.

It also had an OD of ether and cleaning gel. Besides, a disproportionate digital display screen was on the wall. It had a large head, indeed it was as large as a man’s hat and over thirty-three inches across.

Thus, under the portrait, the caption used was “Keep your vaccination record up to date”.

In Nelson’s apartment, a synthesized voice pronounced new records in the pharmaceutical business.

The voice came from the acid-colored voice assistant which was installed in the on corner of his living room. Nelson adjusted the music a little low, but one could make out the clear words being spoken. The tone of the device (the Visio assistant as it is referred to) can be reduced, but cannot be disabled at all. Nelson approaches the window. He is big and fat, rat
