Chapter 2: Champagne Collapse

The physical trauma of the accident left large black and blue marks on Samuel’s back and neck. The analgesic cream provided by the robomedic did not do much to soothe the pain, but Samuel knew what would: real alcohol. But since alcohol was prohibited in the Great Cleansing, soothing his woes was going to be a difficult prospect. One sure bet that one could find it, however, would be to host a Gathering of Friends. It being the festive season, Samuel had no trouble filling his guest list with likely prospects.

The one alcoholic beverage allowed during the annual cycle of Renewal was champagne, so that was to be the beverage of the evening. Toasting his good fortune to be alive with his friends, Samuel began to feel the effects of the alcohol working at his body and his mind. Though black and blue, his body felt relieved from the real alcohol numbing his pain, but his mind felt heavier, still wondering about the incredible coincidence of “The Cutoff” (as the comm controls were now referring to the incident with the aircycle). How could such a thing have come to pass in a world as orderly as his? Were the people living in The Dregs slowly rising up to express their… their… what is the word? Their will? The champagne flowing, these questions continued to disturb his reverie at a subliminal level. Unfamiliar with the intoxicating effects of real alcohol, Samuel collapses on his bed to sleep uneasily.
