Hispanic Woman
Fictional Character
"Getting Real"
Set in the Future
Type of Appearance: Direct
Species: Avatar


One day in 2117, a Hispanic woman appeared before Pablo Ramirez. The avatar was improbably beautiful and impossibly stacked with a perfume that promised everything. In a voice that should have been illegal she asked "Wanna get ... Real"?

Ramirez eagerly agreed. The woman came up to him and took his hand. Ramirez felt the electricity and knew he would always remember that touch. Then she winked out and he found a small, green, cardboardy square in his hand. He placed it on his right temple and slowly crumpled to the sidewalk.
