Guy Montag: A Short Story
It was April 4, 2030 I, Guy Montag -but everyone calls me Montag-, was walking down the street with my boy's, we were in our 20s, virtual holograms were invented, life was good, but what good was life without someone to share it with? I felt lonely and wanted someone to share my thoughts hopes and dreams with. A woman with lips as red as a rose, eyes that will draw you in with one look.

After the ferris wheel we decided to walk around, she was still holding my hand. We stopped by the pond looked at each other, I pushed her hair to her ear and went in for a kiss, as soon as I did the annual fireworks went off. It was a moment I’ll never forget.
