Ah, life in the big city. Between the dull-brown drape of smog, the omnipresent shadows of skyscrapers, and the clement glow of gel-pixel displays, it can be almost impossible to know what time it is here without consulting a timepiece. The long-accepted cycle of sun and moon has been evicted, usurped by manufactured cycles.
Huge colonies of diurnal bats cross the sky on inky rivers of night. Flickering wirehoppers buzz past my window like shooting stars. Autonomous caretakers raise and dim the lights in the PIDC wards to lull the Dreamers into a tenuous silence. Not that it matters to me. I haven’t slept in years. This 24/7 party animal may have finally come home.
