" "Bye." Alyssa and I said together. 1 year later. Alyssa has had our baby about 7 months ago. It was a boy so we named him Andrew after our dad. We d...dn't tell the nurses that it was my child. Luckily, the baby didn't have any deformities. Alyssa let the baby suck on her nipple and I grew envious of the baby. She hasn't let me suck her nipples at all. She said the milk was for the baby. She rocked the baby and it fell asleep. I had an idea of how I could get her to sleep with me again. I went. The next day, he signed me out and drove me away from the gated compound that had been my home for a year.Now, I see what he drove me to is just another prison. It's prettier and much bigger but still a prison. My new home, a neat town, is encased in a glass dome. Like plants in a greenhouse, its buildings and inhabitants receive close inspection from caretakers. In this case, the caretakers are the corporate overseers of the Pleasure Grid.Still, when I walk into my assigned apartment, I'm. Not books ... scrolls.Wound on Walnut Rollers and stored in elaborate wood cases with glass covers, the wisdom of the sages was stored in this huge room.There was no dust...'come to think of it, there was no dust in the metal vent, ' she thought. 'There should be dust everywhere.'There were sections of scrolls written in Latin, Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Norse Runes, Gallic, Russian, Japanese, old Japanese, Egyptian hieroglyphics ... Languages phonetically spelled ... languages entirely. You probably wouldn't like him anyway. He's an immature brat who gets through college on an athletic scholarship in football."Lilian says with amusement and a hint of sibling irritation in her voice. I mock an offended gasp."Hey! I got through college on an athletic scholarship!"I tease, just picturing her eyebrows shooting upwards in surprise. "You did? What sport?"Lilian asks curiously. I smile softly and roll my eyes. She hired me and didn't even know I got through college on an athletic.
