ancient areas of the region were made of clear glass now. you would look through it at the thick gas bubbles of green. it was quite beautiful. the glass grew from the glass, made walls.
corners. corners of a building make angles. angles of a glass room. the glass is milky with the air and algae.
inside the room a talented flute player is flapping their coat complaining it’s too warm. you see their bare body aside from the coat, hirsute and sweaty. two pools of water on the glass by their feet. absolutely you’d kneel down and rub yourself in the water there if people wouldn’t think you a fucked weirdo.
in the sky the angelship is watching with satisfaction the glassing of planet Aerth Talos 5. these structures are growing out of car parks and ploughed fields and classrooms. greenhouses for one occupant.
the list of drug retailers that persell has recommended for reducing the effects of glass exposure is growing.

“so don’t forget to remember to get your best friends their needsby first.” a line in an advert now on a billboard outside your house that replaced the one for missing kids ‘the Chunkyline’.
I call the Chunkyline and get tony, “Hey kid don’t worry sboj5e…” the line cuts out. I know that for a house on the edge of the place I live we’re getting excellent signal.
heading back for the central platform as the dusk settles we arrange to walk back home from the glassed area. and when we do share a laugh over a drink it’s pretty abruptly normalnmm. frozen wetstuff, that’s all glass is… right. People at the bar seem to pity you for having to go along with a glass body. I’m not mannequin orntik, or the erotic robots of the Tetherworld, but if I was so what. so what if anyone’s anything right?
people were still pouring out of the reality zone and into glasswalks, they just come in when they feel like it and leave when they don’t. the questioning begins to take the form of US intelligence ‘will the next attack be of local or foreign origin?’
who cares. in the next glassgrowth to become formative, over the road, you’re giving a lecture in the trapped air voice that comes when you don’t breathe for a while as a way of sharing and building consensus. i look in and its a great moment to, because on the screen is the orange sun, blotted out by a small fleck of alien spaceship.
