时间：2019-02-15 作者：英语课 分类：英文短篇故事（纽约）
Brad walked into Walbrowns. He swiped his rewards card. He said, "Avatar, appear." His avatar appeared. Brad said, "Unscented deodorant 2, all brands." He followed the avatar down the escalator. The avatar hovered 3 at the deodorant section. It shined a bright light on the shelf containing unscented deodorant. Brad selected a container. He opened the top. He sniffed 4 the contents. He couldn't detect any scent 1. This'll do, he thought. He said, "Avatar, disappear." The avatar disappeared. Thank goodness for avatars, Brad thought. Most stores had avatars now. An avatar could find anything instantly. All a shopper had to do was follow his avatar to each item. Shopping was now a little more pleasure, a little less torture. Progress had finally arrived for befuddled 5 shoppers. Brad took the escalator back upstairs. He groaned 6 at what he saw. A dozen people were standing 7 in line. There were six registers. There were two clerks.
