Sixth Borough: Old Future

The thing I like about THE FUTURE is that it’s already happened seven thousand billion times already.  You don’t have to wait for it to happen.  If you look for, it’s all over the place.  In a puddle, at the bank, in a parking garage.  Here is some good future stuff for you.  None of it is computer generated.

  1. I used to go to the Barnes and noble text book store and just look down and follow the line on the floor. Avoiding all eye contact and ignoring everyone around me.
    Once in the back room area where all the text books are, I would grab a book and read to my hearts content. I never sat down, I would just stand there absorbing everything and anything my eyes could devour.
    By the time I was done, I would step outside and the sun was gone.
    Orange street lights and the taxi cabs headlights would light my path back to the real world.

    By then I was starving and oh so thirsty, I could barely speak, my lips stuck together and my throat parched and dry.

    Hot breath, sore eyes and tired arms from holding books all day….

    The future was then.

    • Phew! One more photo of the Old Future and it would have woke up those dormant killer robots on the moon. Then we’d all be in deep shit.
      ALSO….
      If Mr. Parfenix was a basketball player, his name would be Tracy Towers.
