Living At Home Year 2040


As John Shield arrived home, he stepped off his gravity powered hover board. Slowly making his way across the neon tiles that were colour ordered from coolest to hottest to lead him up to his front door, he stopped at the door and smiled as he remembered his days as a kid when he had to use a key to get in the front door. “Things have changed” he said to himself as his smile grew in to a lough.  Now he is living on planet Mars after 2029 when there was enough grown oxygen on Mars to be able to live on it. John swiped his finger along the DNA pad and less than a second later the door clicked open.  Life was easy for John shield, he never had to move a bone. At 3pm every day the house would automatically shift everything in to the place where It belonged, even the smallest crumbs dissolved on the floor tiles. There were no such things as window blinds anymore, instead windows just tinted themselves black.  John rarely needed to tell the windows to be tinted, 20 of the 30 hour days were during night.  As john walked upstairs he stopped at his bathroom to clean his teeth, so  he clicked the button on the speaker and repeated his name and smiled at the camera as the lasers shot out and removed all the bacteria on his teeth within seconds. Creeping up to his bed tube, John repeated “ bed on, 20 degrees” and the lights around the bed tube flashed red. John took a deep breath of relief as the platform lifted him in to the bed tube. As john squeezed his eyes shut, the other half of the bed tube smoothly slid over him. His day in the year 2040 was at an end.
