Inadequate Shelter
|
|
A piece of corrugated tin, leaned on two sticks, and pathetically augmented with a tire (on one side) and a cardboard box (on the side towards the wind). And that's what you've got between you and the driving rain.
|
|
|
|
At the moment rain is all you can remember, in fact.

You've seen worse, but not often: it's falling so hard now that the tin rattles and the runoff, on the low side of the roof, would be a tenable source of hydroelectric power.

>[2] remember power
|
|
It's not as though you have any sort of light bulb in here to turn on, even if you could power it.
|
|
|
|
>[3] remember light bulb
|
|
Light bulbs, like so much else, are a thing of your past. Or is it your future? Tricky, the way the world loops round on itself.

Living backwards has its drawbacks. A tendency to confuse and annoy your friends, being one; the total inability to maintain a stable relationship; and a deep dissatisfaction with most of the bodily processes people enjoy, since they ultimately make you hungrier, colder, or-- no point dwelling on it, really.

|
>[5] remember backwards
|
|
It's not even exactly *backwards*, now is it? It's more like a series of forwardses stuck back to back. As though someone had taken each track of a CD and put them in the exactly wrong order. You miss that. The music on demand.
