You had, rarely, the beginning of a mass shooting, and then you had the would-be murderer shot to pieces by armed citizens who would then be publicly awarded “The President’s Medal for Criminal Elimination.” The award was red and white and shaped like a cross-hair, and if you wore the miniature pin on your lapel, you rarely bought your own drink.”

“Normals were faced with a bunch of insufferable snobs who thought the rules did not apply to them—though the rules sure as hell applied to the Normals—and who were not constrained by any limitations other than their own desires. And the Normals? When they were a consideration at all, the fact that something made life harder for Normals was a selling point. Let’s take away a lane Normals commute on to work and make it a bike lane that one guy an hour will use while the suckers sit idling on gridlocked streets.”

“The old Hoover Building had housed the Federal Bureau of Investigation before the Split, but the FBI was long gone. The People’s Bureau of Investigation now occupied that building and several others in the area, forming a huge complex dedicated to the dark work of internal security. The name “Hoover” had been scrubbed from the building and whitewashed from history when the People’s Republic had first arisen, but later came back when J. Edgar had been embraced as a pioneering example of resistance and the face of the toll oppression had taken upon gender-fluid individuals in the hateful old United States. His statue, in a flattering cocktail dress and a pair of strappy heels, graced the central foyer of the recently added annex.”

The problem is sometimes, in a balancing act, you can lose your balance and it all comes crashing down.”
