Summary

This narrative is about a young woman Sherry, a smart and crisp advertising supervisor employed by Silverstone Advertising Agency. She became captivated by a computer hologram while napping at her desk at work. At first, she brushed the experience off as a revelation of her imagination, but finds out later that this mystical character may not be out of her imagination at all.

The saga revealed the complicated lives of the office staff, and then witnessed the complicated intriguing twist and turns of their lives, which sweeps the listener into a tapestry of struggle and adulation, folding into an exposition of fantasy and wonder in which the characters are being either held captive or captivated by life’s journey.

When considering after months of hologram communication with Sherry, it was evident that her behavior changed. Consequently, these changes were revealed by her absences from work. The employees became suspicious of her secretiveness and strange behavior of her unusual outburst. Sherry had that far-away look in her eyes. Her well-kept secret started to affect her personal relationships. She avoided her fiancé and stopped having lunch with her friends at the office. While communicating with the hologram, his vernacular suddenly changed in the rapidity of articulation with extreme preciseness, revealing that his being an entity that was not of this Earth.

The hologram answered many of Sherry’s questions. He explained that she was chosen to be visited by him, which was “an entity from another universe.” Then, he defined his universal explanation of religion, science, parallel universes, quantum physics, mental telepathy, and mind transference. Sherry learned the ambiguity of the awarded hologram’s “Privilege Art.”

After months of training and communicating with the hologram, it was now time for her astral travel with the enigmatic entity. The listener may wonder if Sherry was held captive, or if she was captivated by the hologram experience.
