WITH EXCEPTION TO ALL CHARACTERS AND PLOT BASED ON THE SHORT STORY "THE PEDESTRIAN" AND BELONG TO RAY BRADBURY.

*****Rebekah talking aka Leonard's wife****

I've been waiting here for hours and still he hasn't come home yet. I don't know what to do. I have been telling him to stop walking at nights or else, something might happen to him. I can't do anything because if I try to make a scene then I will get myself in trouble.

- 10 hours before -

Over the last couple of years, people all over the world have been replaced by robots which don't move and not even think. It seems to me that me and Leonard Mead (my husband), have been walking on dead tombs surrounded by advanced technology, which control our every move. I, not like Leonard, have been being cautiously and carefully aware at all times.

This morning, I woke up with a strange feeling, as if something was going to happen today but not to me. I rolled out of bed and realized Leonard wasn't in the room. I immediately runned downstairs, praying nobody was with him. You see, Leonard and I are the only people in town who think. Yes, think. We think. All other people have lost their minds. When everything was perfectly fine, they decided to listen to the government which eventually got them brain dead. I am actually really grateful that I have Leonard with me. If it wasn't for him and his brain, I would have been dead.

As I got into the kitchen, I saw him and made eye contact with him. I felt really relieved seeing him safely, as if I have had a dream of him being hurt.

"Hey, how are you". I said to Leonard.

"I'm fine, ¿why do you ask?". Leonard said.

"Just because". I said.

"Okay". Leonard said.

I really don't know why I asked him that I just had a weird feeling.

I got out of the kitchen and opened the curtains which had been closed all night. You see, Leonard and I, have to do a lot of things so we don't get caught. If the robots see us doing something strangely, like walking at night, they get suspicious and eventually get us sent somewhere else. At least, that's what I heard a couple years back.

Our day consists of eating breakfast, watching movies with popcorn, doing exercise, cooking, and Leonard taking walks at night. Leonard has been walking for several years now and I really do thank god that he hasn't got caught.

Today was really a boring day. We watched the same movie as yesterday, made the same food as last week, and did exercise. Sometimes I just wished I could go outside, enjoy the nature, and take long walks just like Leonard, but I am too scared to walk outside at night, having a slight chance of getting caught. Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by Leonard, who was going to take a walk.

"Hey, I am leaving now, see you later". Leonard said.

"Sure thing, be careful honey". I said.

Just as I was getting up to make him a cross on the forehead, (as a way to be under the protection of God) he walked out the door. I runned over to the door and opened the door a little bit but he was already too far enough to go and reach him. So, I closed the door slowly and layed on the couch, patiently waiting for him.

-Reality-

I've been waiting here for hours and still he hasn't come home yet. I don't know what to do. I have been telling him to stop walking at nights or else, something might happen to him. I can't do anything because if I try to make a scene then I will get myself in trouble.

What if they got him? What if they are getting him right now in this instance? What if they are coming in their way and he is just a block from home? What if? What if? What if?

I had to face my fears or else something might happen to him. I got out of my house and ran like I never did before.

I saw him, on the car, just a few blocks away, but I was already too late.
