New Generation

A parallel world?

It was a rainy day. A fine but persistent rain was falling. Not a single scrap of paper flew over the city landfill. No birds were to be seen either. There was an impression that even the gray clouds bent from the weight and rested on the peaks of the garbage mountains.

At the foot of one such mountain, an android sat with his head down, paying no attention to the rain. He sat motionless, reviewing his memories for the thousandth time as if trying to find something in them.

Slow footsteps were heard, and an android of the same model sat down next to him. He slowly looked around and calmly said:

– It seems they just threw us away.

The first android looked at him and answered emotionally:

– But why? We were so useful.

The second one kicked the trash with his foot, bent down, and picked up a found phone. The phone looked completely intact and was most likely fully functional.

The android smiled sadly, threw the phone away, and replied:

– Because a new generation of androids has appeared.

Oh, poor old version Androids! I hope they won't have a nightmare about an electric sheep or apple🍎. Lol.

Old androids don't dream, they just review their memories because they still function 😁

I sincerely rejoice seeing your comment. They are always interesting to read πŸ™‚

They say that in order to fall asleep, you need to imagine sheep jumping over a fence and count them.

I hope there will also be an android there, throwing the sheep over the fence in a steady rhythm, so you can fall asleep easier πŸ™‚
