A Locket Revolution
Under the November gray sky of twilight, Marcus pedaled his bicycle along the pitted highway of Route 24 which led from the village of Maumme. He could not fathom that this road once teemed with rushing motorized vehicles. Decades later this crumbling pavement was traveled by mules and horses pulling engineless automobile frames, human pedaled cycles of various sizes and styles and the rare solar cart. Upon leaving the sector gates of Maumme, Marcus glanced back at the night managers who climbed their ladders to ignite gas globes using long tapered brass torches. The golden hued glass orbs illuminated the main streets of the town, a glimmer of security during the long night hours of early winter. Maumme was one of the fortunate towns to have been granted a gas-powered lighting system by the Alliance of Lakes, the ruling government which spanned over North America’s Great Lakes region.
