The sparseness of City Park frustrated Jack. This passes for nature in the city, he thought. A patch of grass with playground equipment.
A white car belched black smoke as it chugged slowly past. He coughed as the car pulled around to park beside another, much nicer, car. Tinted windows rolled down.
Something shiny lay in that direction. It was mirror-like, but didn’t reflect. The grass in the frame swayed as he looked into it. Jack reached through, plucked grass from the other side and smelled the freshness he longed for.
He slipped through as the white car backed away.

Take me away, Portal. I’d like a white, sandy beach with gentle surf rolling in; a glass of sweet tea, and a cute cabana boy to keep me restocked 🙂

Sounds great! I like beaches, especially if there’s some good surf to be had.

Eternal confrontation between nature and technology. One we need, other is not going away.

We definitely need nature. The tech is nice too though, so hopefully those two can find a way to play nice.
