semi-discontiguous sequel to the hybrid screenPlay
Playing
Shmoe, further-abstracting or refining the observer-participant novel
format.
At a post-Jerry Grateful
dead faux-band dance, a surreal character from another planet hands you
a cigarette of splum, mistaking you for a peer the moment you've
become aware there are people with dark souls wandering around, hoovering
up bright energy. After a long walk home flat tire, passing drunk
aliens (now infected with clear vision) you are slowly ensnared by the
visiting mega-government corporation designed to infiltrate our technological
centers, seeding high level ideas that will further the development of
lasers, they intend to have us shoot into the past (their future) as a
way of marking the passage of time exactly, to correct their optical telescopes
to view the cosmos real time. Menacing drugs in pastries keep
the population only dimly aware of the street people, AWOL drugged from
an alien atmosphere, and cheap intoxicants unavailable in the galactic
region of their incarnation. They paid good afutrocredits for a joint
venture Earth vacation, and they're getting their money's worth.
