2 viewsHe woke to a stiff wind spitting the winter's first snow through Factory's empty windows.He lay there and thought about the problem of the Judge's buzzsaw, how the wrist tended to cripple up whenever he went to slash through something heavier than a sheet of chipboard.His original plan for the hand had called for articulated fingers, each one tipped with a miniature electric chainsaw, but the concept had lost favor for a number of reasons.Electricity, somehow, just wasn't satisfying; it wasn't physical enough.

3 viewsIt was noon before she'd finished, and the Florida sun was cooking the pavement as she crossed the parking lot with her two plastic bags.The bags, like the clothes, were secondhand: one was printed with the logo of a Ginza shoe store, the other advertised Argentinian seafood briquettes molded from reconstituted krill.She was mentally mixing and matching the things she'd bought, figuring out different outfits.From the other side of the square, the evangelist opened up at full volume, in mid-rant, like he'd warmed up to a spit-spraying fury before he'd cut the amp in, the hologram Jesus shaking its white-robed arms and gesturing angrily to the sky, the mall, the sky again.

1 views"Then you'll be in good hands, I'm sure." He winked."Wouldn't think I'm a linguist to look at me, would you?" Kumiko closed her eyes and the ghost began to whisper to her, something about the archaeology of Heathrow, about the Neolithic and the Iron ages, pottery and tools...

4 viewsHis arthritic hand had swollen again during sleep; the wrist was bird-bone thin from calcium loss.Twenty years had passed since he'd last known gravity; he'd grown old in orbit.He shaved with a suction razor.A patchwork of broken veins blotched his left cheek and temple, another legacy from the blowout that had crippled him.

He winked."Wouldn't think I'm a linguist to look at me, would you?"
