-Does this thing have a brain?
-The bed? not exactly. More like a personality.
-Yeah, very friendly, telepathic even.
Bionic or I don’t know, it seemed to anticipate
what we were doing and then respond.
You made this? How did you do it?
-I’m a materials science engineer.
Did you think I was just some kind
of hippie weaver?
-Well no, but this is amazing.
-A bit more advanced than memory foam, eh?
-Yeah. So you invented this? Is this the only one?
-No. I’ve made them for anyone around here
who wants one. Not everyone does.
-Do you sell them?
-No. I’m not into marketing. That’s why
I chose to live here, in Harmony.
-Yes. I’m beginning to see why you
all like it here, the sense of community.
-How about you?
-I think I’m kinda glad that my bike had a flat.
-Serendipity, eh?
-I guess so. I put my stuff into storage
before I started on this ride. Maybe I could
stick around for a while, see if I fit in?
-Oh you could. You’ll know pretty quickly
I think. About fitting in. I bet you will.
-Yeah. I have some savings. I could buy a place
to fix up. Figure out what I can do to contribute.
-What did you do before? Like your or job
or profession or whatever?
-I was a logistics manager. For industry.
-Yeah? Well actually you might be able to
do something with that. We are mostly self sustaining,
but there are somethings we need from outside.
Some of the materials in this bed for instance.
-Really? Well I would be really happy to
contribute to that! Spreading joy in the bedrooms
of Harmony. Speaking of which, want to spread
a little more joy in this bed?
-Oh, I think that’s an excellent suggestion.
