The virgin & the bad boy (Gravity)

Chapter 9/32 feet with problems

Video:Rutger Bregman on the basic income. This is the economists words for the universal income everyone on Earth ( in the book) lives on, while the robots do all the work. This is not  necessarily an endorsement but a speculative fiction about this idea.

Question: What has 32 feet and screams ? Answer:on your first second of falling  (on earth). The acceleration due to gravity on earth is 32 feet per second per second. It's a lot less on mars. How do people play things like tennis under this gravity like everything would just drop straight to the ground like everything is made of lead. On Mars in spring blossom is so light it flys all over the biome. You can be finding blossom hiding in cracks all over the plant for weeks after it has fallen. Like someone has had a wedding in an Egine room. I found my stomach tightening as we went up.

I looked up and wondered about the house.

"This is the first time I've seen a house which could run away from home" I said to no one in particular while I looked up at the floating building.

Kentro approached Grouthouser with a box. I recognised the animated logos running on the side. It was a pair of Christian Louboutin Pigalle 120 patent calf pumps. Not cheap, I wondered what sap had sent a dead woman pricey shoes. 

"Knowing your owner's preferences. My mistress purchased a pair of shoes for her as an offering and to show her gratitude." said Kentro.

"Sure my mistress would be very pleased" said Grouthouser.

"She is worried if her great grandmother already owns the pair in question, and is desirous to search your mistresses collection to ascertain their uniqueness and as such suitability as a gift, with out revealing this to your mistress. This is her first visit to earth and is very eager not to offend."

Grouthouser paused for a moment. "Mistress is still having her afternoon rest. It would not be any difficulty accessing her shoe collection"

I had never seen a machine be sneaky before. It was like coming back home to discover your phone had been playing cards with the toaster. Or finding your TV set has been able to get like twenty channels it just happened to forgot to tell you about but has been watching it's self while you were out. I think I might have been annoyed because he was talking his way into great grandmother's house with a pair of quite sexy shoes which I wouldn't have minded my self. I hope you've figured out by now, I'm a smart independent woman, because if you haven't your going to be dropping questions like crazy. OK I like books, as much as my great grandmother liked anything which buzzed, and I can normally wipe the floor with the nerd team but I do a have a slight weakness for high heel porn. Some might say I'm a bit contradictory, but truth be told I am a little bit crazy. I like not making sense and any way stereo types are for stereo typewriters. Perhaps I'm sympathising with shoes which just have to words 'wear me' written all over them. Poor things.

Clearly Kentro was up to something. We left Grouthouser and moved to the opposite side of the wall.

"<ZIng> I hope mistress does appreciate the deception involved. I hope madam would not be offended at my taking the liberty of ordering these shoes as a gift" Kentro said quietly through my earrings.

"No it's fine" I said into my ring.

We were rising up over the small winch house up towards the building floating above us.

George came over. "You get a wonderful view over the national park from here." she began "you don't have a problem with heights do you?"

"No" I said "I go climbing quite a lot back on Mars. I've vacuum climbed in the grand canyon. I've quite a good head for heights" admitting to climbing was enough for now. I smiled inwardly about how good I was at heights. Like handstands on the ledge of a skyscraper good.
