Jenny Everywhere Day 2022
This Might Happen Someday
by Delilah "Dizzy" H. Smith
Our world, in the year 3001. Jenny Evans and Jennifer Nolan were sitting in their shared apartment overlooking the rings of Saturn, shortly before midnight on the twelfth of August.
(Possibly the name "Jenny" and variants still existed in common use, and "Evans" and "Nolan" were still recognizable as surnames. Or maybe they were something like Jeni Johano and Jenifa Luĉjo, or some other future equivalents. No one yet lives who will be able to say what names will exist in the thirty-first century. Nevertheless, our two protagonists will be referred to as "Jenny Evans" and "Jennifer Nolan", for the same reason that this story is being rendered in twenty-first century English.)
Jenny Evans, a dark-skinned woman in a blue dress. Jennifer Nolan, pale and blonde and short-haired, wearing a black jumpsuit. Both of them looked young, but anyone in this time period could look however they pleased; Jennifer had customized her eyes to be pitch-black, with rings of stars for irises, and some people went even weirder! The two were somewhat fiercely competitive, in the adventures and adrenaline-junkie pastimes that were available to them, and Jennifer often made the spurious claim that she was "the epitome of evil". (She'd formerly gone by "Jenny", too, but had started calling herself "Jennifer" to distinguish herself from the other Jenny who was typically in the room.)
At the moment, Jennifer was listening to music via the latest method of putting music directly into your ears without other people hearing it. (Perhaps "humans" in this time period had fully-robotic bodies and pumped it into their brains outright, or perhaps they'd come full circle and wore bulky headphones.) Jenny was reading one of the endless number of stories to feature the fictional character named Jenny Everywhere.
A great many of these stories had been produced in the past thousand years, after all. Many of them featured her counterpart Jenny Nowhere, as well.
