Never Better, Only Different

Bought a new façade at Store 93 today.

I’ve only seen about 80 people wearing it,

So I had to get one myself before word got out.

Was only 120 UNibucks and it’s so sexy!

Wish we were allowed persistent ones like the old days, though.

Now, only patrols and regulators have them.

This one is a ten-pacer,

So the transformation from drab grey jumpsuit

To pearlescent cocktail dress and boots

Happens at five paces, but continues for five more paces,

If you dare to look back.

I hope the twenty pacers come down soon.

They’re so stunning! And the resolution!

Got another e-Mind warning today for dwelling.

Can’t stop thinking about the Ancients.

I mean, they had to fight for everything.

So glad those days are over—must’ve been a nightmare.

People even had to find their own jobs.

I wonder why it took so long for people to figure out

That the government means well and just wants to provide for us.

Guess they weren’t so evolved back then.
