This is a short TechnoFreak/CyberPunk story...
Sleeperland

We call it sleeperland, there is grass there, trees, birds, bees.

I lifted my head, the damp grass clinging to my hair, I look at my hands clinch them to see that they respond, it is just such a strange feeling some how, even though I have done it millions of times. This is the place where I went to wake, that is good, nothing has changed.
I pick up my cell phone out of my pocket, look at the display, ten deaths since I was last here, I look at the names, Agustine Flerer was among them, I knew her.
It is not as if I do not feel any grief, it is just that there is always someone who died, but not here, very few die here.
I curl up into a ball, so to say. Hugging my legs.
I look out over the fields, seems that some one is sleeping up, it, she stands up looks around, sees me , a "hi" is all I can muster, she nods.
I do not remember when I first came here.... it was like coming to a different world, which in some way it was, I must have been young.
The woman walks towards me after looking at her PDA, she has loose wires hanging from her hair, "hello there dreamer", she is smiling.
"hello there dreamer" is my response, with a low voice. I do not know why we say that, bt it is the custom here...
she sits down besides me, "You seem down, dreamer, what has happened?".
"Nothing" I said. Looking at her wires, they look like the ones mother had, but hers were connected, "why do you have those wires, here?"
she looked at me, still smiling "I don't know, they are confuting some how" she looked at one while holding it, "they make me feel safe..." the last part was said with a low voice.
I looked at her, she looked at me, "are you going some ware?" I said.
"I don't know? Will you join?"
"what ever, we cant stay here all night"
she popped out her PDA, "so.... were to dreamer?"
I looked at the selection of places, I have been at all of them. "it does not matter"
more people are sleeping up now.
She presses her finger at one of the pictures "Hold on Dreamer!" I hesitated, should I go or not? I grabbed her clothing.
There was a bright light... an now we were sitting on a bench in a forest, the birds were singing...
I looked at her, she was looking at the trees.
"so tell me dreamer, what is your name?"
"Neh... Mokana Neh" I said, with by back hunched "Mokana is my surname"
"well then, Neh, I am Leena Aungstroem".

FIN?
