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.

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.
