I woke up on a boat in 1935
You always feel the rocking of the waves before your eyes open
“What to order what to order” Jon mumbled to himself as he fumbled through the leather bound drink booklet.
He was disappointed because they didn’t have his favorite drink anywhere and he forgot what it used to be called, something …napaliano?
He sat alone at the yellow half circle of a bar top. Above him a canvas stiffly dangled from the ceiling. The shadows of a story told via spinning mobiles cast upon it.
Oh that’s sounds good, The Rose Mofford.
He ordered from the quiet indifferent bar tender. Was she mad? Was she happy? was she sad? Now one knew, but she made a good drink. The neutrality of her expressions made her hard to read.
Jon made eyes at the cute girl sitting at the other end of the bar.
Oh.
Shit.
Shes a bartender. Now she standing moving, twisting, and shaking infront of him.
She clearly in the zone.
Moving at a breakneck pace to serve the wanting customers. Her hand flashes in front of him to roll open the garnishes container, ‘clack,’ he takes notice of her freshly painted nails.
He thinks about what a great time 2024 was. Things were probably the most comfortable then. They had it great, all the best technology with none of the downsides of what was to come.
And the women, the women, each one so unique, so alive, so real. Women then were in their prime. Just starting to really understand their power. Boy, did they use it down the road!
Honestly, humanity probably wouldn’t have made it had they not.
For the first time in a while he turned around. He was a bit shocked, so many more people than before!
A beautiful, simple moment in 2024.
Then…
Jon found himself being rocked awake by what must have been waves in his cramped quarters on a boat heading to London in 1935.
“Uhhh, I’m going to 2024 after this. Fuck boat travel!” He whined to Anna Iris.
And now a word from out sponsors
