LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE PEDESTRIAN

It's a moonlit night in the year 2053, and and Leonard Mead, The Pedestrian, is taking a walk, like he usually does every night, through his unnamed city. As he walks through empty streets, he would look inside the houses and just see people sitting in front of the a television screen. Leonard Mead has walked the streets for ten years and he has never encountered another person walking, since everyone else stays inside their homes. The way he describes them as "grey phantoms" that live in "tombs", is quiet interesting since he is comparing them to the dead. The Pedestrian was enjoying the peace outside in the world an was taking it all in as any human would. As he continues to walk back to his house, The Pedestrian is stopped by a police car, mind you there is only one police car for the whole city. He is asked questions, and the police is trying to figure out why he outside walking instead of being inside his house like everyone else watching television. The police finds out that Leonard doesn't have a TV, he isn't married, lives by himself and that he was a writer when the world still cared about was was written. He is told to get inside the Police car, and as Leonard gets inside, he notices that the car is a robot, and that he is going to be taken to a psychiatric place because he is acting different from everyone else.
