Example of a Man Who Didn’t Pay Off
or Amber Ways of Grim
When Clint’s retraining as a
Gelsurd Technician was finished,
he was immediately hired
by a firm refurbishing trashed
units to ship to Latvia.
That country being the only
place the game still being played.
Then, they gave up too.
Clint on Unemployment again.
The One-and-Out Plan insured
he could never again be retrained
for anything.
So he became a PU, Permanently
Unemployable, and relied on
coupons shipped from Washington.
The first two were for a store in
Frenchtown.
There he exchanged both for
a long baguette and a hunk
of pale cheese.
Unfortunately the cheese made
popping sounds on the Charity
Bus, and he was ordered to dismount.
When he removed the waxy
wrapping, he discovered
quarter size blue splotches.
So did the rats who devoured
both cheese and bread.
Marking up Clint in the process.
But not the worst day of his life,
since the gatekeeper of his
apartment block let him in
free when he saw his clawed
and bitten state.
Waiving the daily entrance cost.

Shared Adventure
-Then we ran into the sewers to escape!
-A movie!
-The rats there started squealing, finally setting
up into a single ear-splitting SHRIEK.
-Jeez! Afraid? Or trying to intimidate?
-Both.
-They’re that complex?
-Fellow mammals!

Plagues, Discussed
-Bubonic Plague in California.
-Comes from bites of fleas living on rats.
-So, go after the vector, yes?
-Rats in major cities vastly outnumber people.
-If capable of organizing, they could have their own mayor and board of aldermen.
-On the federal level, they could take us to war in Iraq.
