《Encounters Out There》As Fast as Possible
Advertisement
Francesca Smith rode her hoverbike. Powered by her legs, it transferred her kinetic energy into a superconducting hover generator. Most of her fellow hover cyclists ran on fuel cells and ghost-pedaled.
One day, she was riding along up a steep Martian hill to work within her dome colony’s transportation network and was getting passed by FC cyclists, who would frequently honk at her to get out of the way.
She took a break, and someone stopped by.
“Hey, wow, that’s old school. Leg power? Why would you bother? You’re so slow and sweaty.”
Francesca shook her head.
“What’s wrong?”
“Sometimes it’s all about the movement, the freedom, and the exercise. Not getting there as fast as possible.”
The FC cyclist shrugged. “Whatever, weirdo!” and sped off.
Francesca muttered to herself, “I sure love riding, but I’m surrounded by assholes.”

Long have I been a voracious book gobbler and tonight I thought I'd try my hand. However I crave acknowledgement so please leave a review, all criticism is welcome. If my meagre offerings are accepted by the book gods, (and to a lesser extent, this community) I shall endeavor to persevere with my writing, though this was done on a whim. Probably will be edited at some point, perhaps blue box chan will make an appearance. Typos are likely, please point them out if you see any. And now that you have been captivated by my enchanting synopsis, please enjoy.
