Desert Trees Bent and Burned


PR: Are you a "nostalgist"? What time period would you prefer to live?

VN: In the coming days of silent planes and graceful aircycles, and cloudless silvery skies, and a universal system of padded underground roads to which trucks shall be relegated like Morlocks. As for the past, I would not mind retrieving from various corners of time-space certain lost comforts, such as baggy trousers and long, deep bathtubs.
