“People used to watch those,” he smirked as he pointed at the old flat screen tv on the wall.
“Like they stared at the wall?” Heather asked curiously.
“Well yeah, but mostly they had it on in the background while they looked at their phones.
“What’s a phone?” the young girl asked.
He laughed at that, rubbed his hands through his thick brown hair.
“Well originally they were things you could call family or friends on. But eventually they became like a drug, something everyone became attached to.”
“Sounds bad. What would they watch?”
“Oh everything. Some people even made shows where they just lived in a house together.”
“That sounds nice. Better than always being on the move.”
He thought about that. Yeah, it was nice to have a home. But they no longer had such luxuries. Had to keep moving to avoid the road gangs, and to search for food.
“Did people like the world before?” she asked. He spoke quietly then,
“Sometimes. Yeah maybe. But most of the time they just wanted more.”
