Broken Dreams

Well the day started in Watson city and it is all but the usual, nothing new since the last ten years only thing that's new is the new crimes being reported by the media and the events taking place inside the circles of big corpos and corrupt politicians all doing anything to make profit for themselves and have the audacity to talk about helping people below them like mad hypocrites, if it was me from 2029 who is seeing these stupid idiots, I would have lashed out and spoke against them but it wouldn't be wise and so I just let it be because there's no point and I head to the shower.

I took all my clothes off and stood under the shower head and the water came down like a rain, the only thing I probably like in this life and it would probably be the only one I like in this life, well what would I even like other than this shower if all of my dreams are shattered? I once had a lover but she deserted me and I also wanted to become a priest but everything went against me, I wanted to achieve my dreams and live with her but then she just left me and I never saw her again, oh broken heart even if it was ten years ago it is still broken and because of all the things she did I got forced to live this life. BULLSHIT.

These thoughts keep running on my head whenever I take a shower, life doesn't want me to have peace even on a shower, I punched the wall and looked at the mirror and saw my eyes dropping tears but I quickly wiped them off and continued showering, there's no hope in this life and there is no point in hoping all will be well, everything will go to shit and I accept that I will all but suffer in silence as it was the usual for me ten years ago. I was having a moment with my thoughts then someone on the holo called and yeah it is my friend Keisha, I got off the shower and wiped my ass off and got dressed then sat on my chair and picked up the call.

"Hello? Vincent!"

"Uh yeah Keisha?"

"My daughter's birthday is coming, I think we need to meet"

"Why is that, Do you need any advice on how to surprise your daughter? If that's the case I don't have anything to give"

"No, it's just that I miss you and I want to hang out with you for a bit like the old times, you know you're the only guy who's like a brother to me"

"Alright I'll meet you at Aron's at the next hour"

"Really? Thank you very much and I have some great news for you"

"What is it?"

"Oh I'll tell you when we get to Aron's, come pick me up"

"I didn't plan to do that but okay, where will I pick you up?"

"I'm at my apartment, I'll just go downstairs to the entrance of the complex and wait for you there"

"Alright, be there in a minute"

The call ended and I quickly went out to my wardrobe, well nothing better than a coat and a hat for such a rainy weather here in Watson today, nothing new but rainy days are getting longer now, last time it only lasted for a week but now rainy weather lasts for a month and it just makes the city look more depressing than it used to be but who am I to care about such things? None of it matters anyway.

I wore my coat and hat, my boots and gloves and put on my mask to keep my anonymity and headed out, my apartment door closed and I went down to the parking lot, my car is parked at the corner, I love my Hexa 1300, sweet car for a middle class man with depression and a shit life, I walked towards it and before I opened the door, I checked on my weapons if they are in my coat or with me and it seems like it is, better to have weapons than have none because this city's crime rate is so high it went higher than the sky, I opened the car door and the system AI greeted me with "Good day Mr. Bellamy, please put on your seatbelts", I did and I drove off for Keisha who's just a kilometer away from me. I exited the parking lot and drove on the street that heads to the place where Keisha lives, ah Watson city, full of flying craft, tall buildings, and corporate ads not to mention the traffic and the heavy rain that makes the city darker even when it's morning but who cares, I drove off and I went straight through the depressing city scape, the usual shit I saw since ten years ago and I have no care for those, I passed through a few streets and saw the giant cathedral I used to go to ten years ago, did not change but beauty is still there and nothing more than heavenly beauty in a depressing city, even until now my eyes are captivated by it's beauty even though I have lost faith and left it, it's still beautiful and awe inspiring, nothing in the city can be as beautiful as the cathedral I'm passing through.
