KISAH Futures Anthology
laughed together, how I missed these moments. I hoped that it would last forever. I said, “Happy Anniversary, dear” as I squeezed her hand. She grinned and pulled my hand aside. I kissed her cheek and said, “I’d like to see my real wife right now.” At first, her face was somewhat surprised by the words that came from my mouth. Then I said, “No matter what, you’ll always look amazing to me.” Then, a hologram emerged from her eyes and revealed my true wife, sitting on the hospital bed, looking pale with a pair of tubes in her nostrils and breathing heavily. Two months have passed since I last kissed my wife. To celebrate this wonderful day, she’s been manipulating her android self. I’m so grateful that I feel like she’s so close to me, even though she’s being held in the hospital, battling for her life. Nothing can stop us from loving each other. Not even COVID-19.
