Men and women from different corners of the sector came together to sell their wares while others came to buy.

Colonial credits were not worth much to the Imperial Merchants. The experience alone was enough for most. Price took the opportunity to see all this for himself. Looking for a good place to sit down for a drink, he came across richly decorated establishments, gentleman-ish clubs, your shady round-the-corner bar

Stevie told them it was only a short ride to an undisclosed location. They arrived at a slum area called Toothpaste, which was once known as Tondo in old Manila. It was a place of degradation and filth, with druggers, squatters, and homeless people living in makeshift tents and dwelling houses. Zeke and Trevor had never gone to this part of Neo Manila and were distressed at the squalor. Stevie saw the apparent shock on Zeke's face and said: "Do you see them?

Miami was no longer a city of neon and asphalt; it was a "Hydro-Biological Gateway." Twenty years of rising tides had claimed the South Beach skyline, turning the Art Deco masterpieces into skeletal reefs.

If he closed his eyes, ignoring the smell of exotic plants, he could almost imagine himself on his own beach, surrounded by grumbling fisherman and the remains of the old pier. The dreariness and drabness, the local gossip, he never knew how important it had been. All the while convinced the city, or anywhere else, was better than the ghetto he felt he was in. It seemed so far away, clouded and blurred like a waking dream. Temptingly in view but never obtainable.

I had never seen so many shells littering that beach as I did in my dream. My grandma used to say that there was a huge storm about fifteen years ago.
