Pills And Starships
“I brought this journal with me to a bench on the cliffwalk.Some of the benches have awnings and I chose one of them. You can only see the ocean from where I’m sitting—I mean if you look straight ahead there’s nothing but blue over the line of tufty grass at the edge of the cliff—but if you walk closer to the edge and peer down you can make out the concrete and metal architecture of the seawall. I wish I hadn’t looked over; I wish I still had the illusion that the bluffs were natural. Because it...’s nice: hummingbirds buzz around, diving into the red flowers and feeders.The sun’s just come up and I can see boats sailing in. Passenger-boats are powered by wind and sun, but not the corp and military transport boats—some of those use massive batteries and have no sails at all. They’re big and stay far off the coasts, mostly, dispatching pontoon boats to bring in batches of supplies. On the way over, my dad told me about big luxury ships they used to have for people to vacate in—giant and white and towering like miniature cities.MoreLess
