‘That’s odd.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Well… look.’
They both stopped.
‘It’s a new building.’
‘So?’
‘All those structures feel unreal.’
‘What??’
She continued to stare. ‘Definitely peculiar.’
‘But I wonder whether we could get a coffee there?’
They walked up to the building, but then they were both stumped.
‘There’s no doors.’
They peered into the coffee area, although there was no coffee brewing.
‘I don’t think they are real people. They’re definitely busy, but I’m sure they are all bots and artificial cloning things.’
Suddenly all the windows became opaque.
‘More than weird.’
‘Let’s back away… and quickly.’
