Destructive Dreams

we all boarded our rental Van it was fastened with small but power jet engines that would allow most cars of today to fly 17 to 60 feet off the ground, where it would attach it self to a partial magnetized system of roads, for each designated road altitude level there were designated speed at the highest one could reach speed up to 300mph, we decided to drive on the surface for awhile. Before choosing our desired path which we decided to fly 37 feet of the ground or about 175mph. A nice speed it was fast but it also allowed you to enjoy the scenery without distorting images of fast moving objects, trees, animals and other cars. When flying the law required to be set the vehicle on auto pilot the FAVA would take control of your vehicle via laser data connection, which were fashioned as floating miniature cones in mid air, which also served as lanes.

The kids were all in excitement in 3 hours we would be in Disney World. That included regular stops. I preferred to sit next to the window where i could imagine what man had imagine for ages to be able to fly to be able to be free from gravity, to be free from the ground and all that we knew. To take flight when our hearts desired. I longed to be part of something more. What that something was I wasn't sure, I knew this much that, each time I flew it set me free even if it was just for a moment or a couple of hours. Time seem to fly by as fast as we first boarded, my mind was in this day dream state, I had barely noticed that we had stopped. It was then when things quickly changed. My cell phone began to display warning 5 images, which meant that the united states was under attack! It was uncertain of who was attacking us, but I had no doubt in my mind it was Iran. After all they had honorable mention in the news recently. I quickly turned off, the alarm as not to scare the kids. I had to make a quick choice hope that the message relay from ASIMO IV was fake, or a misunderstanding as it was uncommon for these machines to take message and relay them in a wrong manner, my second choice is to ignore the message and not alarm everyone and continue on our trip and hope for the best, after all if the worse were to happen there would be no safety the technology that Iran had acquired after successfully completing their nuclear project was as good as any of the top rated military. I had to have faith that everything was going to be alright no need to mess everyone day for nothing, I quickly resumed my normal activity at the rest stop. Which was a 7 Eleven, most of the sales in most convenient stores were computer, artificially intelligent sentient operated. It was excellent service they did have one person though always their a technician just in case the robot malfunctioned. Since their was no need for fossil fuels most 7 Eleven almost became like mini groceries and emporiums for unique merchandise. Not to mention a lot of black market sale went on, in the alleys and back areas of most of them. Mostly Pre-2010 items and electronic thing that were now hard to find things that gave people nostalgia. I occasionally browsed for item myself, they were considered black market because of the high prices and possible fakes. I was glad that the Warning 5 message wasn't flashing on the thin laser projected signs. I released my compact ASIMO IV and instructed it to watch over the kids and to keep on eye on them. As all teenager do they were loud and having their own version of a rest stop, not so much resting and more buying and browsing. We were almost to the world of dreams, so after a few minutes I instructed ASIMO to gather them up, and place back in the van. The stop made me more confident that nothing was wrong after all the 7 elven sign did not warn of any impeding doom, as required by law. So I was pleased. Boarded and we were off.
