High Functioning

2

I’m glad you’re still with me here, on Day 4. I had a very nice time yesterday for my Live Reading (linked below today’s story) and also my Flash Fiction story.

Today we have a really short one. This happens. Sometimes they’re super short, for whatever reason. That’s fine, it is what it is. Thanks for sharing out there, whoever you are. I'm getting a lot of views and downloads.


Part 1

Paper is worthless, and stacked to the ceiling, there is no place left to pile it. Anything resembling productivity and purpose has long since been replaced with cheap, insulting facsimiles.

There is a lot of screaming and not well done sleight of hand. Very few really know what the purpose is and why there is no plan to right things. Getting close to answers results in lambasting and ostracization.

When communication and the natural processes of human organization come to their natural end, where thinking toward a solution arises, the thinking is outlawed, and the process is sabotaged.

Part 2

The paper is pressed smaller and thinner, becoming a cheap, insulting facsimile of a cheap, insulting facsimile. Now the old paper can be replaced, and the stacking can continue. The facilities could be anywhere. There is no pretense of a sense of place, or honor to protect.

The screaming and poorly executed sleight of hand has been buttressed with violent, violating technology, which enforces limitations. The reasons that things are not being righted are becoming clear, and an ability to articulate it fares better in hermitage.

Any interesting system that will provide relief and becomes popular is co-opted and claimed, for the purpose of shepherding the young; newly motivated, and for exploiting that new energy.

Part 3

There are yet so many trees.
