5:12am
Darkness covered my entire vision the thought made my mouth upturn into an amused smile as memories of childhood sprouted in my mind. Using my hands I felt where my mug was and then. Searched with my fingers for the handle of the microwave. I opened the microwave and set the mug in. I then touched the brail on microwave. I pressed the buttons the familiar beeping and then whirring of the microwave starting up.
A big yawn came out of my mouth as I ran my hand through my hair. Closing my eyes since there was really no use to having them open without my contacts. I felt Leonardo come up to me the dog probably hungry. I rubbed his ears the sweet boy panting with happiness.
I chuckled as the microwave beeped. I tuned to the machine and found the handle with my fingertips I opened it and felt around for my mug. I found it and gently grabbed it making sure boiling water didn't fall on me. I walked over three feet exactly and opened the cabinet in front of me my hand searching for the handle. I felt around for my caffeine boosters and my meds both in brail writing.
I put in the caffeine booster tablets, a teabag and two things of sweetener into my tea. I popped my usual vitamin and pills and chugged a gulp of the tea.
I grumbled as I walked through my kitchen my hand guiding me to the living room. I smiled as I felt Mona come next to me the guide dog wagging her tail and hitting the back of my legs. I grabbed on to her collar as she guided me to my room.
I rubbed behind Mona's ears the golden doodle leading me around the house.
"Jeremy, any news from the doctor?" I shouted to the smart house. I heard the familiar click as Mona lead me past the brail plate as the automated voice stated.
"Just got something, he said to order your new parts as soon as possible, so I already did. Your new legs and arm should arrive by tomorrow your optical parts of your eyes from cyber life are going to take a few days along with your ear, your aunt is insisting she deliver them herself. So you are going to have to continue to just use the temporary contacts. And the hearing aid. Cyber life is sorry for the wait and appreciates your patience."
I sighed and ran my fingers over the burn tissue left on my right ear. Mona and I made my way to the bathroom as I tried to find my contacts. My fingertips brushed the cold porcelain sink and then gently making my way to my tooth brush.
"To the left miss." I heard Jeremy's voice state.
My hand drifted to the left as I felt my contacts. "Jeremy you don't need to help me. I have Mona and I can do it myself."
"Sorry madam, it's my programming. Also if you actually bought an android then I would be able to physically assist you rather than just be an automated voice." I could hear the sass in his voice.
I chuckled and with a smirked I chided. "Jeremey, I have told you before. I'm already part android I don't need any more machines in my life."
I put the contacts in a blinked a few times as a yellow loading sign came up. I watched as they booted up and I was able to see. Brightness and colors filled my vision instead of the dark. The darkness melted away and I was left with my reflection donning a very sleepy expression and Mona sitting beside me the guide dog happily wagging her tail.
I looked in my reflection messy black hair and tan olive skin, eyes glowing purple due to the contacts specially made for me by my aunt who was an engineer at Cyberlife. Little scars shown on my face along with a small blemish here and there. I titled my head to the right to see my garish scar the ear no longer there only burn tissue. I sighed and took the prosthetic ear next to my contacts and placed it over the burn tissue the thing molding to the side of my face and covering the scars.
I bent own and started to fully pet and scratch Mona the labradoodle wagging her cute tail and panting as she became slightly playful.
I yawned as I started getting ready. Jeremy putting on my favorite morning music. It was Italian music that I had listened to since I was a little kid. My mother would sing every song the strong blooded Italian woman sometimes getting too into it as she made pasta or other dishes.
I took huge gulps of my tea as I went into my room and walked over to my closet. Let's see which hoodie should I wear today? It was getting so cold lately.
Blue? Gray? Black? Or my Canadian one? I hesitated for a second as I picked my Canadian one. The gray sweatshirt having a maple leaf on it.
I set it on the bed as I began to grab pants and shoes.
I felt a sudden pain in my right arm. I hissed and I looked over to where my right arm should have been. I rubbed the shoulder as I experienced some phantom limb pains. I sighed and glanced at my robotic prosthetic arm that I had gotten from cyber life around 8 months back.
"Miss, are you having phantom pains again? Should I alert your doctor and uncle?" Jeremy lightly asked.
"No Jeremy its fine." I assured.
"Miss you know what happens if you let them persist." He warned.
I waved him away and grumbled, "I don't need to be babied Jeremy."
I put the sleeve on that connected my nerves to the arm and then clicked the arm in place. My eyes flashed to a loading screen and then went back to normal. I looked down at my arm and relaxed my arm the phantom pains seeming to ease.
I took a deep breath and continued through my morning routine. I put on my Canadian sweatshirt and placed my black leather jacket over the comfy sweater. I glanced down at my robotic legs making sure there wasn't any loose parts.
I sighed as I looked down at the ugly white metallic legs. My skin modifier or whatever had busted around a week back so I was left with these until my next batch came. The legs were already experimental so they had to be specially made but still it was kind of a pain. My right leg stopped at my knee while the left actually went all the way to the mid-thigh. I ran my thumb over my personal serial code.
I put pants on and then I laced up my converse sneakers. I glanced in the mirror and wrestled with my black hair putting it in a high pony tail as my bangs covered my forehead.
I quickly put on some makeup and bushed my teeth. My body instantly moved to one of the livelier Italian tunes as I finished up. I felt my eyes roam over my reflection. I barley looked like I had ever gotten a scratch on me.
I quickly made myself something to eat and fed my dogs some of the leftover bacon with their dog food. I looked at the time and then my phone.
I sighed and grabbed my work bag and helmet as I headed out. "Jeremy, tell my uncle to feed the dogs and that I'll be home late. Dog walker should get here at noon, be nice to her she's a sweet kid."
"Yes mam, also please be safe on that death trap of a vehicle."
I smiled as the door shut behind me. I made my way to the front of the house and got on my motorcycle the word "baby" painted on it. I hoped on and placing my helmet on I made my way to work.
