Jesus VR
Dennis Longhorn lay motionless in the leather recliner with his head inside of a black cube. Sometimes, as if dreaming, he would smile. Outside, rain rolled down the window and smeared the lights of the city. A man stood at the window and regarded the super-city while he waited for his partner to wake up. Ken Brown flicked his cigarette into an ashtray that sat on a desk by the window. The lights out there appeared to reach eternity. This was what used to be known as Phoenix. Las Vegas was now a suburb of Los Angeles.

Franklin Evermore
In Alaska in the spring, great grizzly bears gorge themselves on berries. A diet of northern red currants, raspberries, low-bush and high-bush cranberries, and crowberries turns bear fat pink. Berry-fed bear fat is melted down and mixed into teas with honey. It’s used for making biscuits, pancakes, and waffles. Women, and men, too, apply the rosy fat on the skin and it cools and tones the complexion, and it gives hair a healthy shine. It’s believed by some to restore hair, fortify gray matter, and increase sperm count. Berry-fed bear fat may as well be rose gold — it’s as expensive. An ounce can sell for a hundred dollars. Each year in the spring, hunters come to Alaska in search of brown bears, kodiak, glacier, and black. Franklin Evermore is one such hunter.
