Description
"You, me, and the girl, we'll have sex, then take the vaccine, and have at it a few more times afterwards. They were stunned. If you're thinking of calling my mother, I already told her and my whole family thinks it's a good idea." —the vaccine
"And how's the bread, she inquired. Good, I replied. Have some. She opened her mouth, and I pinched a piece and promptly placed it in her hand. Sulkingly, she fed herself. We stood in the warm kitchen chewing for a while, then a long while, what seemed like an eternity." —the best thing since
"We passed beneath the majestic rain trees planted during British times, which drooped over head, dipping into the lake of the botanical gardens -a favourite location for wedding photography. But that afternoon, it was empty, and the sky bruised with blue-black clouds." —old man’s car
"Boris sipped his coffee through the breathing mask's mouth straw. Bob dunked his teabag absent-mindedly while staring out the window, and Daphne had on a sequined gown which I guessed was for the television interview. How do you eat? I rasped, through the voice transmitter, sounding like a Stormtrooper. Beat's me, she replied. How does my mascara look?" —sea of storms
"He came over one day unannounced. Stout, green and wattled with independently rotating eyes and a wide smile -a sort of humanoid chameleon, the size and weight of a baseball. He asked to be called Robert after I picked him up from under the hedgerow where it was frosty and brought him into the warmth of the kitchen." —a question of procedure
"She smiled, eyes shifting furtively. I want it, she said, same as you gave her. Marry me, promise, she fumbled with her buttons. Mom says we should. I said I wasn't sure, and she turned aside but I bit her on the ear through her spaghetti hair. We made love like we did every night that summer. I held her tight between the bursts of fireworks as then it was the 4th of July." —the writer’s room
"The Venusian pearl, a seed that starts from Pikka dust, thrown high into the pressure cooker planet's atmosphere and left to fall, snowflake-like, snowballing, gathering to itself layer upon lustrous layer of pink-black-green, amber-like lacquer from the soup of compressed chemicals -till it lands, cystaline and iridescent, upon the planet's storm-raked, semi-molten crust." —the pearl fishers
