Watching The Show
Always watching. But it’s fun to meddle as well
“And the billionaires are leaving the planet!” In a pretty golden ship!
“Seriously? Was it something I said?”
“Or did?”
“What do you think I could do? (If it’s true, I’ll take the credit!)”
“Well, those missives you’ve been sending to Earth probably might have induced something.”
“Like what? Telling them that there is a better world for them out here and they could make a lot more money?”
“Somewhat.”
“Or telling them that they’ve created a world that will soon become inhabitable and they’d better get moving elsewhere?”
“Yeah, that too.”
“Where do you get these ideas and why do you tell them that?”
“Well, I watch and read Ann James and she has some ideas that just might work out.”
“What, like time travel? And what do you mean, ‘Watch?’”
