Well that was short! I guess it didn't need much world building because it was set in place very much like we live in these days. It made a good bed time story.
In a future time, we are viewing a woman living in an apartment in a war zone. As she talks to her fans, a bomb goes off on her patio and she calls for help, having been wounded in the explosion. Suddenly, there is no more from her. She dies waiting for help to arrive. Will our future be so hard on us? Sure gives one something to think about doesn't it?
really dug this one. it's really short/if that's a problem, don't bother. but I thought it was way cool. the setting felt simultaneously familiar n prophetic, so, totally plausible. amusing, thoughtful, n when it's all done, poetic, n funny
