Damn, those were the days. But, I've got to make a living somehow, and the Mars Worker's Program was the best way to get it.

The librarian asked smoothly. With her hair up in a bun, sharp, horn-rimmed glasses, and business dress that showed all the right curves in all the right places, the poor teenage boy could barely stammer a yes.
