This is a short story that can be read in just fifteen minutes.
The story takes place in a near future time period.
He, who had lost his lover in an accident a few years ago and was depressed, finally made that decision on this ordinary day.
He wanted to move on,
he wanted to lie in someone's arms and say goodbye to the past...
"Hello, my name is Sheryl, and I'm glad you chose me to serve you"
For Sheryl and the whole world, this day in the future was just an insignificant fragment in the flowing stream of time.
But in this fragment that was ignored by time, he took another step forward.
He knew how much courage it took to take this step, and this courage had to push him out of the illusions of the past, and bring him to the place where he had promised himself to start over.
"Are you really a cyborg... and not a human?"
He asked her the question that most people would blurt out when they first saw her, and she gave the usual answer.
She was not human,
perhaps, no one wanted to make her a "person".
