Essay writing, subject 3 : Imagine a day of your life in 2027
It is always a bad day's beginning when you wake up late. I had an excuse because my alarm clock did not work, but it is already the fifth blackout this month : damn private energy companies which prefer to speculate on electricity than send it to their customers...
After getting dressed quickly, I went towards my flat door and my dermal transponder did all the rest. The same happened with the elevator and my single-seater hybrid bike's canopy. Good thing to be a model employee of an healthy biotechnology multinational firm...

After a long day of boring alimentary work, the only thing I wanted was a long relaxing cold shower. I cannot afford a warm one anyway, or the electricity control system will shut down. When I opened the valve, the freezing water droplets made my muzzle tickle, went through my winter fur and ran along my tail skin with delight...
Finally, it was a good day for me, the first Genetically Modified Human.
Or as we call ourselves, the first Furry.
