Shar was always in a hurry. No matter how she tried, she always seemed to underestimate the time it would take her to get ready. Not, she'd reflect, that is was always her fault, but she seemed to draw minor disasters to her like flies to a corpse.
She threw herself into the Pod Car waiting out in front of her building and instructed it to take her to work. Shar considered getting ahead on messaging, but she was still tired and wanted to use the commute for extra sleep. "Pod Car," she instructed, "Sleep Mode." Her seat flattened out and the windows increased their tint until it was lovely and dim inside. "Pod Car, music, calm meditation, low volume." The music chimed and gently undulated. "Pod Car, music, lower volume, two increments." With her eyes closed, Shar let the calming music wash away her recent worries.
