I don’t want
to change”
she said
adding
“especially
on my
15th Birthday
of all days”
The two
young
girls hold
each other
They are mere
children
This is the
future where
young adults
must make
tough calls
and decisions
regarding
their lives
Their future
is up to them
“I don’t like
what my
mom went through
I can’t fathom
it, I’m scared”
They both add
at the same
time
“I don’t want
to change or
be changed like
the rest
of them!”
One pats
the pistol
in her
left front
dress pocket
The other
is lying
and
has already
decided
her fate and
future
They have
both clearly
chosen
their
new directions
fate
and futures
this evening
One day
in the
not so
distant
future…
AI is calling
they tap
in their responses
and RSVP
for O.R.
#2
One is a
decline
the other
is an acceptance
Previews
suck
don’t they?
