“How’s work?”
“Exhausting.”
“Do you take time off?”
“The higher-ups cannot find a temp replacement for me. I don’t blame them. The display room is massively boring and depressingly big.”
“What’s your job?”
“Sitting in a giant room of displays, monitoring the good-evil points of the silly little creatures down on planet Earth.”
“Anyone else in your team?”
“Nope. They tried automation. Didn’t work. Caused huge good-evil imbalance. Earth had to be flooded to balance it out.”
“Do you ever take a rest?”
“Sometimes I doze off at work. Not my fault, obviously. Hopefully, it doesn’t cause another world wide flood.”
Reminds me of ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’ by Heinlein
Interesting perspective!
Loved it!
Oh, poor future Noah, having his fate hanging by the thread of somebody else’s exhaustion and boredom! 🙂
