Status Updates From Children of the New World

I was willing to believe that total openness wasn't the opposite of safety but the only true guarantee of finding it. So late that summer evening, Kate and I sat on the bed, gazing into one another's eyes, and we gave each other total access.

By then most everyone had heard of the Dark City. It was there on the horizon...It was common knowledge you could travel to the city spend a few hours, days even, among its pleasure domes and massage parlors.
