Random Short Things I Plan To Continue.... Eventually.
 
She sat inside the lonely, tiny room, and stared listlessly out the barred windows at the moon risen high amongst the many stars in the dark and cloudless night sky; in her left hand she clutched the pad and stylus given to her days ago that she might write her story while her other hand was positioned emptily as if lightly grasping a solid orb of air. There was nothing she could do now. When a thought came to her it was a question born of depression, or a whisper of a memory that could either make...






She arose from the single-person pod in a fluid motion, automatically, ready to prepare for her shift. She had just removed her neuropatches from her dark blue sleepsuit and stepped out of the crescent-shaped sleeping compartment, so it could hiss shut again as the previous shift's person stepped inside, when she suddenly gave pause to think. "Automatically?" A moment of silence ran through her mind, over that one word. "I have been doing this all my life, and only today I reflect upon it with the word 'automatically'?" Another moment later and her worry had been dismissed by another thought. "Then I shall simply see the Nurse later, though I've not heard of anyone going to see a Nurse in the past thirty years. I should be able to return to work soon."
She then prepared for her day.

"Good work." An anonymous voice, just like always, with the right words for the situation to make you feel better, spoke into the stillness of a whitelight room. So unlike the rest of the world, where there was color but no feeling. He sighed, when the alarm quietly filled the room, and moved as he'd done for the past twenty-three years after an assignment: stand in front of the white door, head down, arms raised in salutation, let a mechanized arm replace his embedded datachip with details of another life replacing the one he'd just used; and when the door opens, step outside to the new mission....

"There seems to be nothing wrong with you, ma'am. Though please let us know right away if your errant thoughts continue." The Nurse replied, smiling to match the required cheerfulness shown by all Nurses and enhanced by their sunflower yellow uniforms.
"Understood and agreed. Thank you for your time." The woman replied

very complex, descriptive language, I liked it. You should continue, see where it takes you.
