Capítulo 168: Chapter 168: Movie Nights

Maeve knew Natalie had a house inside the cave, but she also knew she'd never be invited there. It was a miracle they allowed her inside the cave.

Natalie and Julia sat on the couches, the movie frozen in preparation of her joining them.

"I forgot to bring the popcorn," she told her best friends.

Julia jerked and looked at her with wide surprised eyes. "Why did you say that, in that voice?"

"Say what?"

Julia looked shaken. "Never mind."

Maeve shook her head at the flat image above the TC. The Touch Comm had been invented three hundred years ago and had been hailed as the beginning of new technology. Wireless and incorporating things called a television and their databases they called the internet, it allowed viewing of anything in 3-D images of any size you preferred. And yet Natalie and Julia preferred to watch movies that appeared flat and were so old they looked painted and almost cartoonish with the faded colors and the blurry edges of the characters.
