Dial 9 - Chapter 1

This story has been knocking around my head for a few years now, and in many ways it's time has passed. Generally It's what i'd call it's a dystopian future history that all goes a bit metaphysical once it's warmed up. It's relatively short, but not one for the impatient. I'll be publishing it in chapters, one a month, over about a year. It will also appear, with commentaries, at http://dialnine.wordpress.com/
