11 viewsShe was sixteen and SINless, Mona, and this older trick had told her once that that was a song, "Sixteen and SINless." Meant she hadn't been assigned a SIN when she was born, a Single Identification Number, so she'd grown up on the outside of most official systems.She knew that it was supposed to be possible to get a SIN, if you didn't have one, but it stood to reason you'd have to go into a building somewhere and talk to a suit, and that was a long way from Mona's idea of a good time or even normal behavior.She had a drill for getting dressed in the squat, and she could do it in the dark.You got your thongs on, after giving them a quick knock together to dislodge possible crawlies, and then you walked over to where you knew there was a roll of old fax on a Styrofoam crate beside the window.

2 views..The house was vast, old, unlike any house she'd seen before, but the car swung past it, then passed several smaller buildings, coming at last to the edge of a smooth broad field.There were gliders tethered there, translucent membrane drawn taut over fragile-looking frames of polycarbon.

1 viewsA deer made of iron, and a broken figure of a man's body carved from white stone, no head or arms or legs.Birds were singing and that was the only sound.He started walking up the drive, toward the gray house, because there didn't seem to be anything else to do.When he got to the head of the drive, he could see past the house to smaller buildings and a broad flat field of grass where gliders where staked against the wind.

0 viewsShe shut off the vid, then the heater, and got into the backseat again.Used the corner of the sleeping bag to clean her condensed breath off the window.She looked up at the mountainside-building, all lit up, past the sagging chainlink at the edge of the carlot's roof.Like a whole country up there, maybe Colorado or something, like the stim where Angie went to Aspen and met this boy, only Robin turned up like he almost always did.

1 views.." "You need a haircut," he said, and there was something so serious about how he said it."Angie's up there," she said, pointing, when she found her voice again."She's --" "Hush." She heard metal noises far away in the big old building, and then a motor starting up.

0 viewsLike a whole country up there, maybe Colorado or something, like the stim where Angie went to Aspen and met this boy, only Robin turned up like he almost always did.But what she didn't understand was this clinic stuff, how that barman had said Angie'd gone there because she was wired on something, and now she'd just heard the news guy say it too, so she guessed it had to be true.But why would anybody like Angie, with a life like that and Robin Lanier for a boyfriend, want to do drugs? Mona shook her head, looking out at that building, glad she wasn't hooked on anything.She must've drifted off for a minute, thinking about Lanette, because when she looked again, there was a copter, a big one, glittery black, poised above the mountain-building.

0 viewsOr anyway he said it was a loft, but when they got there it was smaller than Mona thought a loft was supposed to be.The building was old, a factory or something; some of the walls were sandblasted brick and the ceilings were wood and timbers.But all of it had been chopped up into places like Michael's, a room not much bigger than the one back at the hotel, with a sleeping space off one side and a kitchen and bath off the other.It was on the top floor, though, so the ceiling was mostly skylight; maybe that made it a loft.

0 viewsMona looked up: split-second flash of a big raggedy black building, a single white bulb lit above open warehouse doors, and then they were through, the turbine screaming full reverse.Crash.I just don 't know , the voice said, and Mona thought: Well , I know how that is .Then the voice started to laugh, and didn't stop, and the laugh became an on-off, on-off sound that wasn't laughter anymore, and Mona opened her eyes.

0 viewsShe didn't remember falling asleep.She was still wearing the dress, Michael's jacket tucked up around her shoulders like a blanket.She could see the corner of the mountainside building without moving her head, but the bighorn wasn't there.The Angie stims were still sealed in plastic.

0 viewsYou could put on a shirt or whatever, carefully reseal the bag, and get out of there.Makeup, when required, went on in the corridor outside; there was some mirror left, beside the derelict elevator, a Fuji biofluorescent strip glued above it.There was a strong piss smell beside the elevator this morning, so she decided to skip the makeup.You never saw anybody in the building, but you heard them sometimes; music through a closed door, or footsteps just gone around a corner at the far end of a corridor.
