Green Day Out: Science Fiction

When green code day came, Erin couldn't wait. She had a whole plan for what she would do. First a nice, long walk in the park to see the ducks and the dogwalkers. Groceries, of course, once the stores opened to the general public, and a check of the fabric store to see if they had anything that would match her living room wallpaper. She wanted to recover her couch, which was looking worn since everyone was spending more time sitting on it these days. Then a movie at the drive-in, starting at dusk and ending just before curfew. She'd gotten to know the neighbors who were also on the green schedule, and they'd made plans to park next to each other at the movie, so that the kids could make funny flashlight faces at each other through the car windows. Maybe she'd also pick up some plants from the nursery, she thought, something to give them new green life to enjoy for the next six days until it was green day out again.
