of what accompanied you from birth to death. With these glasses you will again feel yourself in the familiar world. These glasses make it possible not to lose the colors that the virus took from us. Through them you can rebuild your world, remember the environment and feel the long-lost emotions. With the help of glasses, you will begin your life anew, having managed to become what you did not have time to become in reality.»
At the end of the manual there was a postscript, printed in bold:
«Do not try to take them off, otherwise there will be an urgent evacuation. Remember, you can become a potentially dangerous virus carrier. SENSORS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED IF YOU TAKE AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE THE GLASSES OFF OUTSIDE THE HOUSE!»
Excitement, like alcohol, seeped through the girl’s veins. That invitation was driving her crazy, like a tempting lottery.
Belle wagged her tail.
Vilora put on her glasses.
«Oh my God…»
Her body froze. This happened either from happiness, or from fear of the unknown.
«Belle, now we have a choice.»
A blue panel flashed on the glasses. Menu. Selection:
• Choose your image.
• Choose a status (who you want to be for the others).
• Choose the background and time of year.
• Set the time.
• How can you be useful to the rest.
• Place your fingerprint.
Vilora began to answer in an orderly fashion:
• White hair, chaotic styling.
• Great artist of own thoughts.
• Sunny background, everlasting summer and many trees on which fruits grow.
• 07.00.
• Develop creative impulses for those who have lost themselves.
Everything was changing rapidly with the help of voice and virtual assistant.
Vilora, without thinking twice, put her middle finger on the screen and launched a new world.
A welcome sign appeared on the glasses: «Welcome!»
Vilora looked at the dog through the glasses, Belle was not visible in them. She was surprised. She restarted the glasses and tried again. And again there was no dog on the screen. Vilora thought that maybe these glasses were imperfect in movement, or for the reason that people destroyed all the animals, they had no one to take as a sample. Vilora gave a command to the dog: «DOWN!» Then she aimed her glasses back on Belle. Empty blue space. Then she put out her hand and looked at her through the glasses. A peculiar spectacle, a hand, like an X-ray, you could see the bones, nails growing, and the blood flowing through the veins.
She threw off her glasses and screamed.
«Belle!!! Now you are free, we can walk with you, and no one will even notice. Vilora hugged the dog, and she licked her with a rough tongue, wagged her tail and whined with happiness. Belle seemed to understand everything…
Springtime aroma hit her nose, Vilora wearing her astronaut rig with gloves and cumbrous glasses stepped as if in the surface of an unknown planet. Within a radius of several meters there was no one. The nose felt a little warm air. Within a few meters there was no one. The nose felt a lukewarm air. The picture installed by Vilora through the program appeared before her eyes. Total eclecticism, but the girl was very amused. She walked, feeling her legs tensing with effort, many days without movement had taken their toll.
The horizon was filled with programmed images, she desperately wanted to take off her glasses and see what was really happening in reality. Suddenly, the sensor vibrated, and Vilora saw an image on the horizon. A green lush mop. The body was the same for everyone, self-expression was only on the head, the hair other attributes that the girl did not touch. She could also see how many points a person had.
«Hi!» a woman’s voice said sweetly.
«Hi!» Vilora waved her hand in return.
She did not know who it was. But Vilora got her 10 point from the system for being polite and for greeting.
Everything was woven anew, it was possible to recognize the neighbors only by following each to the door they were going back to.
The first day, fresh rules, it seemed that no one had yet realized anything, but was already beginning to move.
Getting used – just like the first day in kindergarten.
It’s like the world was rebuilding itself anew. Vilora walked 4,000 steps and felt pain in her legs, most likely for want of habit.
Belle was delighted to welcome the girl back, Vilora closed the door, went down to the basement and brought a leash, the dog began to bark loudly with happiness. Vilora decided to take a chance and took Belle out into the yard, not releasing her from the leash, as before. Now the girl controlled every step of her beloved pet.
There was no one around, Vilora again carefully examined the territory, sensors registered nothing. Ten minutes of happiness, and satisfied friends returned to the house.
