I woke up dizzy and naked in the open air. The sun was hammering out of an empty blue sky. I was radically, painfully thirsty. My body ached and my tongue felt thick and dead in my mouth. I tried to sit up and nearly toppled over. My vision was blurred. I didn’t know where I was or how I had got here. Nor could I really remember where I had come from. All I had of knowledge was the sickening conviction that almost ten thousand years had passed.
I forced myself to sit absolutely still, eyes closed, until the worst of the vertigo passed. Then I raised my head and tried to make sense of what I saw.
The desert was hardpacked sand all the way to the horizon, but it was littered with fragments of what looked like gigantic broken toys. In the distance other broken parts were in bright but fading colors, as if a giant’s tea party had come to grief. Beyond all this there was a range of mountains. The air smelled of mineral dust and hot rock.

The conversation evolved toward triviality as they lingered over coffee, and Sandra left the restaurant still unsure whether she ought to treat this as a professional exchange or a boy-girl size-up. Or which she wanted it to be. She found Bose at least superficially attractive. It wasn’t just his blue eyes and teak-colored skin. It was the way he talked, as if was speaking from some calm and happily reasonable place deep inside himself. And he seemed equally interested in her, unless she was over-interpreting. Still . . . did she need this in her life?
Not to mention the inevitable gossip that would ensue in the parched social universe of the State Care staff. Nurse Wattmore beat her back to work by half an hour, time enough to spread the word that Sandra had been lunching with a cop. She got a set of knowing glances and half-smiles from the nurses at Reception. Back luck―but Wattmore was a force of nature, as unstoppable as the tides.
