Sensory Deprivation and the Gelly Monkeys.

It was the story they all requested at bedtime.

In fact the sad thing was that those who never had it read to them – they never slept much. 

The good thing was that the government distributed free copies of “Sensory…” and everyone could read it last thing at night, if they chose to.

I think there is an opening for a new story!

The Metro was a series of Limousines with ten speaker stereo systems, organic champagne and sautéed canapé created from opals and rubies. 

Dismayed at the lack of support, the government replaced itself with a small startup company.

We were upside down before we found the answers.

The scent of jasmine, honeysuckle and thyme pervaded the promenade of bouquets. 

The polished marble streets were slippery even when dry.

Rounding a corner, even on foot, was precarious, yet easily and almost automatically accomplished after living in this environment for several months. 

It was the opera and the bagels that nourished the memory.
