Introduction: Metamorphosis

A rainy night and then gloomy

nightmares, Gabriel Kafka woke up fused to

his notebook, he had fallen asleep with

this gadget on your lap and a blackout

electric across town had it fused

with this while he slept. The cables that

power the notebook, the headphones in their

ears, as well as the charger of your Smartphone

were fused to his skin in a mass

uniform in both his mouth and his

stomach.

Lying on your back on the bed and

entangled in this electronic mass, it dripped

by his side a blackish and red liquid that

gave off a bad metallic smell and

nauseating. He tried to lift his head but

the notebook was so sunk in his belly

burned, which prevented him from moving with

ease.

Around the notebook they hung and moved

his feet and arms like an electronic octopus

trying to move out of its habitat

natural. Only his inert head hung in front to the screen,

from which, dumbfounded, Gabriel watched the world.

But what the fuck happened to me? I was not still in the

nightmare of the electronic monster, despite

observe a tremendous disorder in your

room and I was there in the middle of the

darkness unable to move. I look around

and his room was a mess, his mother always

He claimed the same but he ignored

of the order that was asked of him daily.

Looking at the desk where I used to

studying at night, he could see his

video game plugged into a giant television,

the one that was blinking due to an online game that

it hadn't finished the night before. Gabriel

was an October driver, a Pandemical?

(born in the pandemic) who lived absorbed in

your electronic games, on social media

and that he had decided to postpone his admission to the

university because I did not know what really

wanted to do in the future.

The television had been the only acquisition

would be Gabriel's, since the size of the

screen covered almost the entire wall and had

attached two speakers to each of its

sides. The next generation screen had

––––––––

been imported directly from Japan and had

a glassy texture that projected

images in three dimensions. A jewel of the

technology that only people with a lot

money or young tech addicts

they would have been willing to pay.

Gabriel Kafka looked out and it was raining

copiously on the city streets. Is

city ​​was not the same since the arrival of

deadly virus that had killed half the

world population, but it had been a

tremendous business for October, taxis

personal and disinfected that had been

become almost the only means of

state-permitted transportation, due to

that no one should be less than a meter

away from another, to avoid getting infected and

spread the deadly virus.

The rain made him sad, but he managed

make up for it by thinking about what you would do with

earnings from his job at October, in his

dirty little city car vehicle. East

small means of transport had been

acquired with a loan from the father, who

had lent this capital asking in exchange

not only the money back but also
