alasanonHis eyes are closed and fluttering with rapid eye movements. It seems he is dreaming.
This is the room for it -- made with this in mind. The screens, the life-sign monitors, the headset, the jacks and plugs and smooth walls (you can tell them what color to be. his are always white.) and soft chair, cradling his body like an egg curls around the chick. He is asleep, because the drugs tell his body that he should be.
His hair is straight and coarse and as black as the wings of crows, the ones that eat the garbage left on the streets in the area he lives in. They never come here, scavenger birds with sharpened talons. They never cry on the wires in the Dreamhouses.
VRDream is the only company worth mentioning. They've got the best developers, the only neuraljacks that are reliable and don't cost a fortune. Almost anyone can come to their houses and sleep for a few hours. Chemical sleep isn't the same, of course, but who can afford the real thing anymore? Everyone works two shifts, sometimes more, or they starve. He might be starving, but it's hard to tell under the white shift that they put you in when you come to dream.
He is dreaming, but not what he told the computers he wanted to dream.
In a few moments, he will wake in a panic, and the machines will rush to comfort him, but he will brush them away as he always does.
