Fragments from 1987

A health club that provided instant sex changes to its members. Had to do with school registration in some way.

Gathered in an auditorium with a bunch of my fellow drama department geeks. Erik S. was there. So was Melanie. Both Melanies, in fact. There was some sort of experiment being conducted with THC extract. Also, explosive cigars.

We went to eat at a diner. There were four of us; we sat in a booth and had our food brought to us. Halfway into the meal, however, we all reached up over our heads and pulled down locking braces, the kind you see on amusement park rides. Once we locked them down, the waiter came by and checked all of us for safety. We continued eating until the entire dining hall lurched forward and then started moving along a track, then up a slope. Our food began to slide around as we climbed up up up the track mountain, and then at the top, we went over and DOWN, into a hair-raising roller-coaster ride as all our food began flying all over the place.

A dark future tale set entirely within the discos of a crime-ravaged England.
