Chapter 2

I swiped my card through the terminal and the bronze double doors opened. I was shocked. They had actually given me a purple card. I walked through and stepped on the glossy floor of burnished bronze. The room was all the same color, bronze. On one side was a set of doors, all with a number above them. Next to that side was two doors, one depicting a blue man, the other a pink woman. Those must be actual bathrooms. I stared with wonder. I walked to the door with the blue man and walked inside. It was a pristine room, filled with white tiles on every surface. A long counter lined with sinks dominated one half of a wall of the room. The other half was dominated by a large mirror. I had never seen something of that quality before. On the other half of the room were these strange enamel colored devices shaped like bowls. They all had a handle above them that whirred and clicked. I looked closer and saw that it was made out of small clockwork parts, and some steam furnishings, as it belched steam every couple of seconds. Next to the bowls were small areas that were walled off with flimsy carbomateria walls. I opened one of the doors and saw a clockwork toilet. I had a steam one installed last year, but it cost a fortune to always run, so I didn’t use it often. It was made of the same enamel colored material as the bowls outside. I shut the door behind me and used the toilet to its fullest purpose.

Needless to say, I don’t need to describe what I did.

After I was done I clicked the clockwork knob above it and the water flushed all my excess materials away. It was a satisfying sound, so unlike the one any of the steam toilets of Sector 7 made. I walked out of the stall and up to one of the sinks on the opposite walls. I turned the right know till it was perpendicular to me. I heard gears whirring and water erupted from the faucet. I stuck my hands under the water and felt a refreshing coolness. After about a minute, the water became too cold to be bearable, so I pulled my hands out of it and turned off the faucet. I device near the exit looked promising, so I pushed the single button on it. Gears creaked as a influx of air was expelled from the device and dried my hands almost instantly. I left the restroom with a feeling of contentment.

After returning to the lobby of burnished bronze I walked towards the door labeled by a four. I opened the sliding door with my card and walked in.
