Georgie loved his camera. Probably a little too much. It remembered for him, so he didn't have to. Once upon a time, he'd had reams of photographs, obsessively organized in boxes that were nearly falling apart. Now, though, now, society had joined him. He had many cameras now. A camera in his phone, in his tie, in his watch. And gigabytes of photographs, stored in neat virtual drawers, locked away for only him. A jpeg breadcrumb trail through his past. When he felt the need, he'd take out his old camera and stroke its curves, more familiar than any lover's.

Tea was delivered from slender tubes that twined with the tangle over the laboratory table. My host pulled aside a curtain. "Imagine a lake out there, filling the entire horizon, created by we impertinent mortals, its power harnessed by great water wheels!" he declared.
I left the tea where it was, since it was steaming purple. "Harnessed for what?"
"Why, to power my army of kinetically powered soldiers!"
Y'know, I don't think they really want to take over the world, I think they just want attention.


Bed now.
