The year is 20X8. You wake up from a nightmare, screaming. You look around and realize that you fell asleep at work at your desk. - &quot;You ok pal?&quot; - your colleague says - &quot;Were you dreaming that neoliberalism came back or something?&quot; - they laugh. “How the hell did they know that?” - you ask yourself. That was indeed the case - that horror is thankfully over. You look at the clock and realize that 6 hours had passed since your shift began. - &quot;Alright, that&#39;s Thursday over&quot; - the leader says - &quot;Enjoy the weekend folks!&quot; You pack your things and head downstairs. Just as you are about to open the exit door, you hear your leader call your name. - “Hey, you forgot to take these” – they pass you the estrogen that you left at your desk. You thank them and apologize for falling asleep at work. They promptly say with a cheer in their voice “Oh please, I’m not your boss or anything, nor anyone else is. Take as many naps as you want”. You open the door and head out in the foliage-filled streets. (1/3)

At the nearest corner you enter your favorite bakery and after a short chat with the cute baker person that works there, you grab some bread from them to take home. Afterwards, you head straight to the nearest tramstop and sit down there. You spend about three minutes looking up at the beautiful, mid rise mixed use buildings covered by lush vines and colorful murals, before your tram arrives. You hop in, grab the first available handle and take out the flip phone from your pocket. Without thinking, your finger taps on the news app, and headlines jump out at your eyes. “WORLD’S LAST COAL POWER PLANT OFFICIALLY CLOSED” “TRANS-SIBERIAN HIGH SPEED RAIL TO BE FINISHED NEXT YEAR, REPORT SAYS” “EUROPEAN FEDERATION PRESIDENT: “FREE ELECTRICITY AND HEATING IS A HUMAN RIGHT” After spending some time reading an interview with bed-ridden Nigel Farage, who claims that Brexit 2 would save Britain from pesky labor laws and make it great for business again, the tram speaker announces that your stop is next.
