Interesting Idea.
Enhanced with
MIDI Clyde Tunes
Clyde has entered the future, where everything is wonderful because Virtual Realtiy -- VR (which followed him) has replaced normality, which isn't as hot as it's cracked up to be anyway.
<------------------------------------------------------------------->
Clyde's VR time distortion affected NASDAQ (the great stock exchange), and Virtus
Corporation's stock shot through the roof when millions of visitors to ClydeSight2.0!
(okay, maybe not) demanded all the products Virtus Corporation could make.
Virtus soon eclipsed all other software vendors. New computers had to be made to
handle the complex Virtus VOYAGER code (if it was ever going to get out of
beta). In response to the amazing demand, the two giant computer chip makers, Motorola
and Intel merged to form MoTel. Everyone knows how popular motels are, especially
on weekends, so they made a fortune.
This increased the demand for Virtus products so much that Internet surfers overloaded
the Virtus Website and the Internet backfired and uploaded their VR code into the
global positioning satelite system (GPS). Due to a mysterious software bug in the
GPS system, it zapped the Earth with the VR code, turning everything and everybody
into a virtual reality version of themselves. (Hey, it could happen!)
The benefits of VR were then fully realized through Magnetic Levitation (mag lev)
adapted to the Earth's natural magnetic poles. No one can figure out why. Sometimes,
progress is a mystery.
<------------------------------------------------------------------->
In this exciting virtual world, where everything tastes like tuna (for some bizarre
reason), people can be anything they want to be, and do anything they want to do
because the gravity of the law, and the law of gravity have become meaningless, along
with everything else. Except, of course, for Clyde, an adorable little cat.

People in the VR future can easily change their appearance! Just a few keystrokes,
and they get a new look. Since Virtus Corporation was responsible for this happy
event, one of the most popular fashion rages is an attempt to look like little Virtus
people. (You'd need to try this out with Virtus products to fully appreciate the
trick).
The rage in personal appearance is geometric, thanks to the fine fashion sense of
Virtus' Johnny Dos. This fashion is called "Geo".


Geo Folk Hangin' Out with Clyde
The "geo look" is not for everyone, but that's no problem in the
VR future. Folks find pleanty of VR looks (called "renderings") to choose
from thanks to data leaks from other software vendors that occurred during the "Great
Transition".
Many people are fond of the "Sky Surfer" fad. Perhaps that is in honor
of the ancient 20th century Internet, where true surfin' began and wipe-outs never
occured (unless you had a modem crash).
"Sky Surfers" take to the skies (hence the name) on their "mag lev
boards" and have lots of fun because, without the law of gravity (a real bummer
in the non-virtual past), they feel very confident and are no longer afraid of heights.

Wheee!
There are two very popular "surf sports" in the VR future.
SSS (pronounced "hiss' in honor of Clyde) is Simple Sky Surfin' and turns the
common problem of simply getting from one place to another into a challenege and
sport. Millions engage in the sport because they have places to go and things to
do, and they want to have "a really cool ride" getting there. Sky Surfin'
does it for them.

Simple Sky Surfin'
A new, more advanced, Olympic sport, "Rubber Band Sky Surfin'" (RBSS), wherein athletes attempt to sky surf AND stretch rubber bands beyond reasonable limits, has become the number one sport of the world. Of course, when the surfer lets go of the rubber band, he or she winds up catapulted back to the starting point, so, no one ever wins any medals. The Olympic Comittee is working on the problem.

Risking a Snap
Not everyone is athletic, even in the VR future. But couch potatos get into the sky surfin' scene thanks to the new Virtus Surfin' Sofa (which, like VOYAGER, never gets fully out of beta).

"Spud" Clyde Surfs the Sky
As popular as Sky Surfin' is, some people enjoy traveling in the company of strangers (don't we all?). VR mass transit meets their needs perfectly. These happy folk ride in magnificent, high-speed, mag lev trains designed by Clyde. The new transit system is called "Clyde's Advanced Transit System", or CATS. You can play in CATS, just click on the image below to go to the download page.

And, everyone has a really, really cool time. That's because, in the VR future,
there are none of the problems that existed in the past. You see, in VR there is
no past, so how could there be any problems? (Think about it.)
Instead, people live in peace and harmony and occassionally crash into each other
with their mag lev boards.
But it doesn't matter, because, as everyone knows, in virtual reality, no one can
get hurt. That's why it's so popular.
But most of all, people in the VR future are happy because they have finally come
to realize that-- let's all say this together -- Clyde is an adorable little cat.

Praeludium is a renaissance term for Prelude, which means, "goes before". Why this title is applied to a piece about the future, which means "comes after", is anyone's guess. Perhaps Clyde got into the catnip again.
