Empty Connections

A casual Wednesday morning has just begun. As a habit, I directly rushed to the bathroom to wash my face. Then I wore my clothes and brewed my coffee. The moment I sat to my armchair was the beginning of what was about to happen. The woman who was reporting the news didn’t seem to be the same comparing to yesterday. She was only talking, without any emotions or gestures. “I suppose she is not having a good day.” I thought. But the more the time passed, I realized something kinda different too. I was acting completely the same. I couldn’t laugh, smile or even cry. I started to feel frightened. What is going on?

When I got on my way for work, other people in the cars also had no facial expressions, only a straight mouth. I finally understood what was happening. Our emotions were gone! With a blurry mind I walked to my workplace and tried to explain the situation. As expected, I couldn’t give a worried tone to my speaking but I guess they understood the graveness. “The only thing we should find is what is the causing this!” I yelled at the crowd. For the first step, I listened to my colleagues and everyone was talking about their connections that broke down as they woke up. I related this to the incident like this: The people had learnt that they lost their all connections, which resulted in loss of emotions. But there was no possible solution for this.

“Apparently the only thing we can do is wait and see if anything changes.” A black-haired man said. According to me, this was the only way that is conceivable.  Because we had only an hour left for work, we used it as much as we can and left the workplace. Everyone separated to their own houses because there was no meaning of going out with friends or play games. We’d feel no pleasure and the time would pass like it passes right now. It was time to sleep and because of the boring time I had it was easy to fall asleep. When I woke up I had a great smile on my face. I couldn’t believe it! How did this happen? Was that an experiment? With all these questions, I started to have my breakfast.
