We had to create a timeline for an in-class assignment and one of the events that I put down was the final legalization and commercialization of neural implants in the year 2432. After a long prohibition and wars fought for its repeal, people were allowed to get implants to enhance their cognitive capacities.

We sat down at a cafe that a friend had brought us to for desserts. Someone doubted his claim that the place was any good however, using the size of the seating area as a measure.

“I’ll meet you at the bottom in seven minutes!”

A friend had invited me to lunch and as we were eating I asked him how he had been doing. He constantly mentioned how he was going to be really busy over the next couple of weeks, which was why he wanted to meet in the first place.

After selecting the “Hactive” and “Metal” gene modifications, he described how his head crumbles open at night and he became somewhat magnetic. We sat by the bed when I held up a fork to conclude that it was indeed attracted to his body. He insisted on continuing the supplements while commenting on his self-restraint.

We were in a house in the middle of the city with big windows and my classmates had come over for lunch. My mother was showing everyone how to walk on the ceiling fan after laying down metal platforms.
