11 Mar 2017note: this is another draft for a piece i’ll submit to the alternative futures project i’ve launched with my friend grant. i think i’m going to string this piece together with two others (the clock and the culture core) to make a single story that is three different places at the same time. we’ll see if it works…

the bartender shook her head. “whatever you say, gui. two aguardiente coming right up,” replied the bartender.
guillermo stood and held up his [glass?]. “to finally having our turn again as the Culture!”
