Petrov's Living Room

Tati is reading a book on the dining table while drinking tea, as Tata is placing the placemats near the sink. I wasn’t meeting my mum’s eyes since I hated doing the dishes ever since I can remember. When suddenly she smiled behind my back and tickled me on the side. I ignored it at first but finally gave into the game when I nearly dropped the drinking glass on the metal sink. Hihi, hahahahaha!, Tata and I laughed.

Do you really need to do it?, Tata asked me again. She had been asking me about the ritual that has been practiced by her and my grandmother and her grandmother’s mother and so on. I have to, besides I need the grade, hihi!, Ogy replied while Milena is brushing her daughter’s long hair in her room.

Tati had to advice Mylo to move out of our room and move in to the guest room to sleep on his own (there years ago) since I needed my privacy as a teenager. Well, I didn’t really need that much of privacy but I guess Tati wanted me to enjoy my alone time especially when I have my period, which everyone hates since I get cranky and moody almost every time I have it. Anyway….

Well, you don’t need to since it’s been a long forgotten tradition which hasn’t been practiced by other villages in Bulgaria or other countries. So you are free to choose another kind of hobby or activity, how about tennis or cheer leading?, Tata added excitedly.

Mum, are you serious? I am not the typical hottie you see on Teevee to be able to flip and squeeze my body like crazy, besides Sonia joined the troupe because I was there. Raina is a more flexible kind of gal so she can be the cheer leader of the gang, then Sonia and I, as, fire dancers, not only of the gang, but our clan, Ogy proudly said.

Milena’s eyes brightened. She is already proud of Ogy even if she didn’t choose to become a fire dancer. Ogy already excels in her own right with her exemplary academic standing and kind-hearted nature. And this is enough for her along with being Ogy’s mother.

Alright, then, you’ll be going to be a fire dancer and the most beautiful Ognyea in the tribe! Hihi!, Tata Milena said then laughed. Tribe? That word is ancient, mum, hahhahaha! We are in year 10000 now!, Ogy cried with a hearty laugh. Yes and I am happy we are in this era because I have you, your brother and Tati, with me! And not to mention…., Tata said without finishing her words.

Mami Ani and Papi Ziven (grandparents), hihi!!!, Tata Milena and daughter shouted the names together then laughed until their tummies ached.

The world is full of mystery and unknown spirits roaming around the dark recesses of it and in the hearts of people and robots alike. Robots now has Beings or sort of like hearts but just Essence of being a human. It is implanted but through summoning spirits to enter the robot’s Shallow spot in the head, left eye or the center or chest. Yet, what only believed to be real is having a heart from a human, who we now have as hybrid, mixbrid, humanoid and cyborg (mechanical human).

Year 10000

Evil didn’t leave the universe but it flourished alongside Good. The heart of humans were once corrupted by greed, lust and gold but now it’s neither riches nor power that captures their fancy but beautiful things such as women, sex, nature, events and places. Instead of teaching resilience, simplicity, control or decency, we promote over eating, luxurious living and that too much in everything is the new black.
