Camus woke up and looked out the window at a cloudless blue sky in which a cruise ship sailed from some satellite.
He prepared a cup of coffee. Then he left his house. The scent of the flowers made him sneeze. Through the streets of their neighborhood, children ran, jumped and shouted. Later, a small robot handed him a card with the summaries of the best newspapers in the world to which he had paid the subscription.
—"I'll read them later, Stev,"— he said to the robot, which continued its course making slight metallic sounds. Camus also continued on his way. He must meet someone very important. He should hurry or it would be too late. He could not miss the appointment. He felt strangely like Alicia's rabbit.
Later, he looked at some mechanical birds building nests for real ones.
Then he met Monica, his girlfriend, and her children. They went out as usual to take a walk on the moon.
At night, Camus felt a smell of burning cables. He sighed worriedly.
The next morning, he looked through the window. The sky was totally burned and the earth looked dead, as usual.
Camus knew that it would be very difficult for him to repair his dream machine again.
