This morning felt different.
Lighter, like I got a load off I didn’t know I was carrying.
It’s Pre-dawn.
Lake Ontario, steam coming off the water and normally I’ll pull a few % of Darkforce and anti-grav around like a jet pack.
This morning more.
I draw enough to darken my hair and I get close to the sound barrier and pass aquatic dinos, Bigger plesiosaurs tend to whale pod and small ones like campysaurs are more like dolphins.
There’s some flying dinos but most are game sized or land predators and they’re not a huge danger but they’re wildlife.
Cool to see, cooler to fly around and some fishing boats and patrol boats and kicking up spray as I say hi to a few fishers I know and then I shift and pop the sound barrier and head to Lancer-Manesque… a trade port and MI owned but also American..ish.
I downshift and head to my favourite coffee place here and take out my headset and start taking orders since I’m here.
Derelict Doughnuts is a port coffee early shift, hangover, punk bar meets coffee shop and bakery and we’re talking get a medium rare burger this early and coffee and doughnuts.
What would she want?
I get their timbits which have all kinds but cool ones like frosted mini-wheat or black forest full cherries and sauce in a chocolate timbit, and a semi sour cherry too, brownie chunks, jelly filled, lemon, coconut creme.
And a medium light roast black coffee.
Because they’re take out cups are black with middle finger drawing and too fucking early written on them in American.
I borrow their whitemarker and write down the translation.
???
Waitaminnit, that’s a language?
