On the left side of the street is a supermarket. On top of the supermarket is a cinema. On top of the cinema is a terrace. The terrace has green grass. The green grass is not fake. Fakeness is prohibited. Necking is not prohibited. Two adults in knitted hats neck each other. They press their masked faces together, their tented masks meeting like beaks of swans. The adult couple are old. Oldness is not a disease. However, romance can be a disease. Romance can make you bold. Boldness can get you killed. The adult couple seem to thrive on their boldness.
Beginning of a dystopian novel ? Intriguing ! Kudos.
I think of a dystopian world with a very controlled environment and harsh consquences for noncompliance. I liked the clipped pace and staccato feel of this piece.
An interesting way this story gets narrated. Sort of like it zeroes in close before zooming far out. An interesting effect.
It’s a strange world….
People wish to get this disease willingly.
Sugar may be injurious to a diabetic but it enhances taste to that eatable same way this disease gives meaning to the lives of the normal people.
Don’t mess with the old. They rule! 🙂
Love has no ceiling!
