L'aura could see she was rushing him, but it was hard not to be breathless. She'd wanted to ask these questions. His eyes looked carefully into hers. "Yes. Very different." "I suspected that," she said, not sure how true it was. "But everything you see and hear tells you that it's the same everywhere. Even if you don't believe it, it's hard to remember." "I understand." "And it doesn't matter what you think anyway, you know? I mean, this is where I live. I have to get along." "Yes." "If you stay" -- what did she mean? -- "ArtWorld will tell you all sorts of stuff about my bad luck. But it's not as simple as it says." "I don't care about bad luck." He smiled. She pulled her legs up onto the couch and took a deep breath. This of course is what she ached to hear, that her bad luck didn't matter. He was like an antidote, a glimmer of something, a refutation, however small, of ArtWorld's seamless, terrible version of the world. __ -- { brad brace } <<<< bbrace-AT-netcom.com >>>> ~finger for pgp The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project ftp.netcom.com/pub/bb/bbrace continuous hypermodern ftp.teleport.com/users/bbrace photo-art ftp.pacifier.com/pub/users/bbrace -- Usenet-news: alt.binaries.pictures.12hr/ a.b.p.fine-art.misc Mailing-list: listserv-AT-netcom.com / subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg Reverse Solidus: http://www.teleport.com/~bbrace/bbrace.html --- from list avant-garde-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
