The Year 2300 It was 1800 hours in Tia Town, and the energy stores were closed for twenty seconds. This was all the time the operators needed to recharge their batteries and get ready for the next 86,380 seconds. At precisely 1800 hours and zero seconds, the residents of Tia Town arrived near the energy stores. The stores' windows would open for one second per person so he or she could be exposed to the energy spray and get their vitamins, minerals, and water for the day.
The mayor of Tia Town encouraged people to use drive-thru stores, but they all preferred standing in front of the windows for exercise. This was the only time of the day when people were unstrapped from their seatbelts. They felt happy to be doing something other than pushing buttons in their titanium cars. The happiness was so faint an emotion that the people of Tia Town wanted to experience it even if it came from being near the energy stores.
