Still on the playa...where did everyone go?

Post by bluesbob » Wed Oct 20, 2010 4:50 pm

Woke up this morning to find the place empty. Is this some sort of joke? Where is everyone? Well, at least my Exodus will be easy.

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

At this point you might as well kick back and think of it as early entry, the man burns in 317 days!

We're still here. You just went out of phase, well, your matter did. You can no longer interact with regular humans. Or unregular humans. Or any humans, unless their matter is not simply out of phase, but out of phase to the same frequency you are.
It's sad really. This is a wonderful burn. I'm going to go to Ein Hammer jetzt.

"Tholian Web" perhaps?

Oh crap. Probably true, because I'm sure I saw that by the time I was twelve. I thought it was a consequence of growing up as the daughter of a cosmologist. And I read a fair amount of science fiction. The more immediate trigger is Stephenson's Anathem, which I should finish today or tomorrow. There's a patch that's a little dull, but as a whole the book is excellent.

Ya, but in Anathem, they just couldn't digest each other's food. Even out of phase, they could see each other.

They had difficulty with oxygen too.

However, I'm not saying that I copied anathem, I am saying that reading it may have awakened ideas I've been carrying around for a while.

Psshhhhh of course it is. Everyone knows that it doesn't snow or rain in NW Nevada, and if it does.. the playa is like concrete and impermeable to moisture. Won't soak up a drop.
