Lay Lines by Carol Lay for June 12, 2023

When “your people” are not your people, you just need to get outta Dodge.

I’m sure things will all get better now that Apple has introduced their new VR headset. Won’t even need to meet people in the first place.

I think I’ll pass on the VR trend. I have read too many science fiction stories about people who were so plugged into the VR world that they forgot to eat and slowly starved to death!

I learned “materialize” and “dematerialize” from watching “Topper” (first run) when I was 5 or 6.

I hope this is the start of a story arc and not just a one-shot.

A saloon fill of people that just ignore each other? Come to think of it, that is normal.

Alone at last!

Those who ghost shall themselves be ghosted.

Welcome to your own personal hell.
