In a future where reproduction is strictly regulated, gonzo

the people he meets infiltrate his cynical heart?
Memories
before reading
This is the story that crystallized Science Fantasy Romance
in my mind as a genre. Written in Full Creative Mind--after seeing the phrase
“gonzo futurism”, and while ridiculously drunk, and with dim memories of Hunter
S. Thompson’s writing style (viz: ‘drugs’) from when I’d read Fear and Loathing
in Las Vegas—in a matter of hours, then edited slightly more sober to make sure
all the hymn lyrics were right (the Scripture was, of course, from memory), and
that I hadn’t spelled gwan’ wrong, or accidentally said going to instead. I’m
also reasonably certain that this is the only story of mine that my mother
likes. I’ll enjoy reading this one...
Review
after reading
“I was gwan’ have to ask her to get pregnant by me, for the
purposes of journalism.”
...you know, this’d make a pretty good movie, or a stage
play. Talk to me.
