• Time comes and goes like the tide it is amazing yet ancient. My life has very little meaning in time. But to me it is the most important thing.
    My name Carmen I am 25 years old and this realization just came over me. Bummer me and my philosophical ways this sort of thing always happens to me at work. I work at a small cake shop in town. Owned by some nice old people. “I will close up the shop you two can go home”, I shouted in to the back room. The old couple came out of the back, thanked me and left.
    After closing up I went to my ancient ford focus and prayed that it would start. The year is 2093 and all my stuff is old, even my robot that does the house cleaning. I just thought it was cheaper this way, it is but it is also a pane in the butt. At home my robot that doses my chores kLean720 welcomes me “hello miss how was work?” “Fine, fine” I replied. “Miss, today is my 120th birthday so I made a cake” he told me. I smiled know that to us he is only 20 years old. Grimily realizing that means that he has about one more year in him, most of his type died at the age of 21. So that meant that I will work hard to keep him to the age of 32 (which was the longest life span for his type).
    I haul myself up to my room it has a queen size mattress that’s covered with things I find at the metal scrap yard. My clothes are strune across the floor. Poor kLean720 couldn’t climb the stairs today ether, nor did this pigsty get clean ether. So instead of napping I go take a shower to relive stress that I got at work. After my shower my phone rings. Oh boy, it’s my friend Samantha, thought she is my best friend she is also a royal pain in the butt. She calls me an hour after work every day so I tug a robe over myself and pick it up waiting for the stream, no flood of words that comes out of her mouth. In.3.2.1 “hello?” ” Carmen hi!” she spouts enthusiastically “you’ll never guess what happened today. Well I will tell you what happen because you’ll never guess well at work a guy can up to me…” I abruptly take the phone away from my ear but I don’t hang up because then she’ll call back again and that is never fun because then I get a lecture from princess talk a lot. So I set the phone down and get dressed.
    So I put the phone back, I force myself to hold it there she is still blabbering on about the guy from work. So I go downstairs and get myself a piece of bread. Then I hear her ask her favorite question “can I come over?” “Ok” “see you at 6 then” she hangs up before I could protest. Oh joy! how did I get myself into this mess literality the whole up stairs was a mess and it would take me at least half an hour to get kLean720 up stairs and an hour to clean, the ironic point was that I only had a half an hour to clean. I don’t want to clean, but I do. As soon as I finished making my bed she burst thru my door “Hello peoples!!!”.” Why don’t you knock?” I complain.”Because then I can’t surprise you” she copies my irritated tone. I try to lighten up so she won’t do that. “So how’ve you been?” “Fine, fine, fine.”I sigh. “great you work turn you in to Debby downer?”” no why?”.” You just seem down.”
    “So did you want to meet the guy from work?” “Why would I?” I thought back to the phone conversation “Oh ya the guy you where talking about on the phone” “ya him” “well I was not really listening sorry” I say sheepishly. She shouts “you num skull!” then in a calmer tone she says”so you did not here about the time machine that he wants me and a friend to test , come on Carmen!” “A time machine! No way!” “Yes way, I came over here to ask you if you wanted to be the friend.”I love books about time traveling in time, and wished I could do it for years. I start to say”please, can I go? Pleases?”She laughs “Ok but you have to get down on the floor and praise me”. I grumbled about her request but I do it anyway “thank you almighty queen”. Then she and I both burst out laughing.
