about

Escaping from one’s job was entirely expected these days. How else is one expected to survive such a bleak outlook? Even more so when you knew what was coming. That’s where transparency comes in. Developed about 30 years ago the drug allows the person to exist in their memories while part of their brain is focused on the task at hand. Cubic 6 knew he was at his station, 400 monitors each showing a Cubit attending to their task naked in their sealed cubicle with System watching for any signs of Spot.

For Cubic 6, this morning’s coffee trip to younger days and her was not unexpected and certainly not unwelcome. Not unexpected given what he knew and welcome because he had never moved on. How could he when Spot had taken her and her Cubit sent to the wall. He did not even know if she had decided to ride it out, as they say, or take the final transparency provided to all when they face Spot. A final trip so deep into memory that you are unaware that your heart has stopped.

Given their sharing of names, it was policy she would be under another Cubic. It was Cubic 9 that had done the approval. At the time 9 was a good friend but there was too much there to allow that to continue. He could ask 9 if she had taken her final trip but it would be unfair to do so. He knew there was no coming out of this. The only thing he could do was hope those memories were his last. Especially that laugh, oh that laugh. It didn’t belong in this world. It had no right to be here. It shone like an actual fountain of life amidst the dry, cold, and barren world.

If only I could be so lucky to be with her on my last trip, to be enveloped in that laughter like a child safe in the comfort of a loved one's arms.

about

Caeruleum Blue Ottawa, Ontario

As a young lad of 6 in 1974 my father plopped me down and said listen to this lad. It was Echoes and I never looked back. By 12 I had gobbled up Floyd, Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Oldfied, Vangelis,etc.

Now 40 years later I have returned to those lucious spaces again as life has afforded me the opportunity.

No dreams of greatness only the greatness of dreams.
