Quote:
"My name is Ann Kristen; my husband's name is Roger. We were born in the year 2155 A.D. And we lived in a world that was evil. A world that was like a great black ship pulling away from the shore of sanity and civilization, roaring its black horn in the night, taking two billion people with it, whether they wanted to go or not, to death, to fall over the edge of the earth and the sea into radioactive flame and madness."
Pg. 116

(E) This short story is about a couple who escaped the year 2155 through time travel. They are now in 1938 in Mexico partying. The couple are M.I.A. and are trying to be tracked down by, I want to say, agents from 2155. I really like this quote because it shows that entertainment (books, television, etc.) really do make the future seem so horrid. What if all of this stuff, in this excerpt, really happens in the future, besides the time traveling??? We wouldn't be able to handle that at all. It sounds really scary.
