Prompt #001: Dream
The scent of freedom was intoxicating.
His office stood on the highest floor; from its window he could see the world spread beneath him. It was fuzzed, out of focus. The computer in front of him instead displayed clear images. Word documents opened and screens partway filled. A programme file minimised leftmost.
He typed a few more words for his status report and returned to the black screen thoughtfully. It didn't matter should a co-worker creep up behind him and attempt to understand his work…or undermine it. The language was more complex than most could handle, even if the company did focus entirely on the virtual world of the computer.

He repressed the childish cry for joy and saved the file. He would show it to Hiroki later.

…but soon would in reality.
