There were brick buildings lining the streets, looking more like factories than anything else. When I got back online, I decided to look at Berlin. I shook my head and went to fix some lunch. Those red sneakers were something I purchased online. Brown hair was probably the most common hair color in the world.

Her dark brown hair was tied loosely behind her head. I was startled for a moment as I noticed the black pants, white t-shirt, and black hooded jacket. She was wearing a pair of red sneakers, like my own. One of them was a young woman with her feet stuck in front of her in a relaxed manner. Sitting on the bench at the bus-stop were two people. I spun the view around a few more times, and then saw something peculiar. A curvy woman in black pants that were too tight stared into a store window, and two women led a group of small children around a corner. A balding business man walked quickly past, looking back at an old woman, hair covered with a scarf, carrying a large purse. Ahead was an intersection, and dozens of people walked by.

I was fascinated by the fact that I could see all over the world, almost like being there. It’s difficult, and the idea of a seeing a car drive by me makes me feel lightheaded.
