STORY: Meeting obsessive Ed...

I wake up in this tiny enclosed tube, confused and scared I couldn’t help but wonder where I was. Cloudy steam filled the small tube as I tried to feel around for something. Finally I found a lever and I pulled it. WOOSH! The door opened and all the steam blew out. I walked out of the tube and there was a scientist waiting for me to come out.
I asked him, “Where am I”?
He replied, “You were just in a freezing machine”.
“What?  How long was I in there?”
“You were in there for 100 years”.
“Why would I go into a freezing machine?”
“What do you mean?  You don’t remember what happened?”
“No? Waa what happened?”
“Well before you went into the freezing machine the whole world was coming to an end. Every volcano exploded and there were many earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes. You went in the machine at year 2012 to save yourself. You went into the freezing machine to tell stories of what life was like back then in 2012.”
“Well what is your name? Who are you?”
“I am Dr. Edward, and I am a scientist.”
“Nice to meet you Dr. Edward, I’m Bree Christen.”
At that second Dr. Edward escorted me to a place where I could stay. He led me to this hotel like place where I could have my privacy. As I was wondering this new world I realized that everything was different from when I lived. At the hotel, Dr. Edward was talking to the assistant telling him about my situation and they said that I could stay there for awhile until I got a job.  As they were still discussing stuff I noticed two dogs on the floor. Little do you know they were not normal dogs? These dogs could some-how talk. I thought I was dreaming, or in a movie or something. I wanted to see if the dog could understand me so I said “Hello dog!”
The dog said, “My name isn’t dog, its Spot.”
Just then everything spun in circles and then everything went black. I woke up 5 minutes later to Dr. Edward shaking me and asking if I was alright. “Yes I’m okay! That dog just spoke to me and knew exactly what I was saying.”
“Yeah here in 2111, dogs can now communicate to us. Sorry I should have told you that.” The times now are a lot different, things have changed drastically.”
“I’m feeling a little better but I think I’m going to go up to my room and relax a bit.”
The assistant gave me my room key and told me to have a nice stay. Dr. Edward gave me his number just in case I needed to get a hold of him. I went for the elevator. The elevator was a lot different than they used to be. You were in a tube like machine that was really small. Inside of the elevator there were so many different buttons. There were 30 floors. I was on the last floor. I pressed the button that said 30, right away the doors closed. I waited 5 seconds until ZOOM! I shot up into the air and BOOM! I was there in 30 seconds. The doors opened and this guy was waiting to go down. He looked at me and laughed. I was on the floor in a mess because I wasn’t used to the elevators here. He walked in and helped me up. “Thank you so much! My name is Bree.”
“You’re welcome, I’m Jon!”
“Hopefully I’ll see you again soon!”
Once I left the elevator I started to look for my room. It was just down the hall and I opened the door and there was my room. The room was full of colors and bright lights. The bedroom had a king size bed and looked super comfy. The king size bed had a pillow top on top. This room looked like my sanctuary. I decided I wanted to shower because I had been frozen for so long that I probably didn’t smell too good. After I showered I wanted to take a nap, but then I heard a knock at my door. It was Dr. Edward…
“Hey we need to talk…”
“Well ah I was just going to take a nap but okay. What’s up?”
“You know how you were frozen for 100 years? Well you were only suppose to be frozen for 20…”
“WHATTT!? Why didn’t you un-freeze me?”
“The problem was that someone stuffed me into a freeze machine and put me in it for 70 years. I was just about to un-freeze you but someone stuffed me in there. I just came out of the machine not so long ago.”
“What?!  So you’re saying that I should have been out of this machine a longggg time ago?”
“Well yes, this is what I am telling you.”
“I can’t believe this Ed. I just lost so many years of my life, and now they’re gone forever…”
“Yes I know this but it was completely an accident.”
“Ugh, well thanks for telling me this FANTASTIC news! I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Alright, have a good night!”
            The next day I woke up and felt great, all I wanted to do was to go explore this new world of wonders. I wanted to some-how escape this hotel so Ed wouldn’t follow me. I kind of wanted to get away from him. I felt that he was bad news. So I decided to exit out the stairs instead of the elevator that everyone seemed to use. I started walking down the stair and I heard footsteps that sounded as though they were coming up toward me. I didn’t know what to do. Was I suppose to hide or act like everything was normal and keep walking down the stairs? I decided to just keep walking down the stairs. It ended up being Jon, the guy I met the other day in the elevator. He seemed very happy to see me as I was very happy to see him. He asked me out to coffee and to show me around town. He knew that I was new around here and I agreed to him showing me around.  So we walked down the stairs together and we came to the door that led outside. Instead of normally opening the door yourself, there was a sensor and it automatically opened up. When we got outside the whole feel of the world felt completely different. Everyone seemed so happy and so care-free. This world seemed like the best place on earth. It was almost like a dream where you could make anything happen. I felt like if I wanted something I could get it easily. This world was a dream come true. I guess I wasn’t mad that Ed didn’t un-freeze me now that I look at the world today.  Jon wanted to show me around so we started to walk to his car. On the way to his car I saw other cars and they weren’t just normal cars with tired and on concrete. These cars were called hover cars. These cars could fly and be in the air. This was the coolest thing I had ever seen. This was something that I had always wanted to be invented back in the time that I lived. Luckily enough Jon had a hover can and I got to experience this right off the bat. We got into his car and it was super nice inside. Black leather interior that was very clean and well kept. The weather was very hot outside and not windy so he could have the top down. All hover cars were also convertible tops, which was amazing. We flew all over the place and decided to stop at the local coffee shop that everyone hung out at. I was hoping that Ed wouldn’t be here. He seemed protective of me and if he saw me here with Jon, he’d be furious. We walked into the coffee shop and right away I spotted him from afar.
“Jon we have to get out of here, Ed is going to be furious.”
“Why would he be furious?  You guys aren’t dating are you?”
“No we’re not dating, but he seems very protective of me and I don’t know why.”
“Okay well I don’t want to start drama, so let’s go get ice-cream instead.”
“Okay sounds great!”
We went back out to his hover car and headed over to the ice cream place. This seemed like a much better idea because I wasn’t feeling coffee anyways. It was like a date. We were flirting with each other and were both very happy! He gave me his number and I gave him my hotel phone number. We drove back over to the hotel after having such a great night. Everything seemed so perfect until I remember Ed. Jon walked me up to my room and he gave me a good night kiss and said “I’ll call you tomorrow!” I was so happy I instantly got butterflies in my stomach.  I walked into my room and got ready for bed.
            I woke up this morning with my room a disaster. Looking to only find a picture of me and Jon kissing sitting on the table…
