The Four Dans
Chloe stretched out on the upholstered platform in her quarters and relaxed after washing and dressing in the shower room, all accomplished with the help of the Robo-Wash unit. Her clean ‘uniform’ clothing hung in the adjacent closet alcove. Chloe and all children under 18 wore leggings and t-shirts in assigned colors. Chloe had been assigned the color black because she was from a top-caste family. Not that Chloe ever went anywhere. Children in Dan Nor were cloistered in their quarters from the age of ten until they were of age to reproduce. Before the age of ten they stayed in communal nurseries and attended school there.

Glory
“John, it’s me, Glory. Guess where I am? I came back to the farm to say goodbye to this old barn. Tomorrow a big-business chicken farming corporation will tear it down and turn this land into a factory farm with hundreds of chickens that will never see the light of day. Can you believe that?”

Mom's Century
Velma was born on August 25, 1917 to two poor people. But her mother had not been born poor. Her mom’s family felt that Harriet had married badly so they severed all ties. Hattie saw her sisters once in a great while but they made it clear she was an outcast. Velma’s father was a mason who would not join the Masons, so not many jobs came his way. He must have been a kind man and funny though because Velma would never say a word against him, and her mother, Hattie, stayed with him.
