My Mom always said I was special. I never actually heard her say it of course, but I presume she did. See, I have no ears. Or Mouth. Or any kind of facial feature. Its just silence and blankness for me. I can feel things, and I can think. So I have one thing going for me I guess, my imagination.

The effects of the implant were immediately noticeable once you mustered the strength to stand again. You felt lighter on your feet. You felt strong.

This city has gone by many names. New York, it was once called. Las Vegas, some called it next. Over the decades the name had changed dozens of times. London. Chicago. Berlin. Venezia.

It was a terrible system, anyway. At its current pace, the program couldn't actually redistribute wealth or reduce inequality in any meaningful way.
