This is unsettling, she thought, but art can do that.
She preferred Exhibit Pepsi, or the Virtual Visits Corp. thing she’d seen last year. That was good.
Here, the material was grey and ragged. How could anyone not know about auto-white and auto-mend?
The oddest shapes. Hollow bones? But of what? Roofs full of holes?
Much later, she remembered a story one of the elders told about birds (like dragons but real), and how there were once transports – the name eluded her – when there were great stretches of natural water: oceans.
Not a future to look forward to. Nice take.
Interesting take on the prompt… gonna have to think about it for a while.
A dystopian future awaits us all if we continue in the same vein.
Love your imagination in this one. Word pictures always impress me.
How could anyone not know about auto-white and auto-mend? Indeed! I enjoyed reading this.
The wording here remind me of Huxley and the Fordism
I’ll take that as a compliment! Fordism certainly
How very sad. Nicely done.
Interesting dystopic vision – at least they still have art! Very well written tale
Dear Rachel,
If oceans are only a memory in the future…then there’s not much to look forward to. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I hope Exhibit Pepsi would come in our lifetime 🙂 The rest is too scary to think.
