A deep sigh echoed through the small
pod, he had been in here for hours now, and it wasn't getting any better. He wasn't sure why this was all the rage, so much for a relaxing "escape", more like a tiny metal cage, complete with boredom and leg cramps.
Ankin groaned and tried to adjust himself, but it just didn't seem like it was going to get any better. "
That's it, I'm done with this." He pushed a button, and a valve released, the door swinging open. He breathed a sigh of relief and practically fell out of the pod, glad he could full stretch out his legs once again.
"
I can't believe you enjoy that, Rain." The older boy shook his head, running his fingers through his fiery hair. The girl giggled and closed the chamber up tight, and shrugged. "
Well you better get used to it, you're going to have to hide there if you don't start going to work. You've been out of school for almost a year." Anik shook his head and turned away from here. He didn't want to hear that... something in his mind clicked years ago, and he knew he could no longer be a drone. But as far as he knew, no one else felt the same way. "
I'll be back." He half waved over his shoulder, and left the small place they called home. It was on the older side of the city, and slightly run down, but it was his. He sighed and took off, not sure where he was headed.
