My life in 2030
I sit on one of the tall black leather seats at the counter. I shifted uneasily. Everything seems so new to me. I look at the glass cabinets and glanced at the different wine flavours. All of them look very unfamiliar but seem to have a way with seduction. The lights were dim but the mini streaks of light were enough to allow the sight of my own reflection in the glass.
I looked different. 'Who is that lady with the elongated eye lashes and luscious red lips?' I thought to myself. The hair that crowned my head held blonde highlights and tinges of caramel brown. I had on my velvet black tie dress. It was the apex of my day. So elegant, yet so sharp. I would never have imagined myself in my beginning years to be the charismatic lady I am today.
I held a job that all ladies at my age would die for, my assets were enough to last me even if I were to retire now. Whatever happened to my dreams of changing the world and saving children from poverty was nothing but child's play. That could not have lasted me or cured my hunger.
'Miss?' I shook out of my trance and realised that I have been staring at the bartender for a great deal of time. I smiled sheepishly.
Feeling the heat in my cheeks, I said,'A glass of ice wine please.'
'Fine choice,' replied he and immediately poured the wine into a crystal glass with delicate angel designs. The blood red cherry balanced precariously on the surface of the liquid.
With 'Beauty and the Beast' playing faintly in the background and the frosty air penetrating my velvet dress, I took a sip of the wine. It baptized my tongue with a mixture of bittersweet before releasing a burning sensation down my throat. My heart skipped a beat. Satisfaction was immense.
I deserved such satisfaction. After all, I had been doing so much for others. That little bit was my reward. I took another sip and closed my eyes, my life in 2030 had been a series of twists and turns. Now it's time to settle down.
