The Dirty Nil - "Bruto Bloody Bruto"
New Wonders of World History. The Ancient Pyramidicus, where money is spawned like blood from marrow, and whoever stands atop has total persuasive power over everyone nearby. Victatorship Falls, where one boat every few days, when sent over the edge, is granted flight, but no telling which one. The Spit Cliffs and Catcher's Cove, Earth's mini wormhole, jump off one, come out the other. And my favourite, Militant Mile, the square mile to which all guns and weapons are pulled strong as gravity. Should call it Militant Mountain in a year or so.
Everybody's 5-year-future I can see, plain as day. Like, written on their face. I'll be walking down the street, and a kid in a stroller will look his legs hanging out, I can see the backpack and the early-onset glasses. My friends all look drunk-skinned or with strange clean-cut partners, or in a wheelchair or pregs. Some people just have different hair. I can't see mine, though, I look in the mirror, expecting to see it, the way you complete a word like s#!t, your brain just fills it it, but I never see anything when I look at my own face. And I'm starting to wonder if that's cause it's not there.
