The Farm

as reply to waiting for something to happen

Other people didn’t believe that Pete spent all of his time like this. Jack and Sean Don didn’t at least. They’d heard about it, that some people would spend their time watching others. They knew the cameras were up, they didn’t know that their area was one of the most watched areas. It was touted that it would stop crime. Always have someone watching. It was also meant to be helpful for people who didn’t want to leave to see other people doing real things. That was one of the ways to get them back to reality albeit was slow process.


Pete sometimes didn’t believe that that’s how he spent all his time. That was another tenet of the lifestyle, never check the time. That got in the way of the experience it pushed you out. Some people even went further. They tried to eliminate all elements of time, even natural ones, they blacked out their curtains. 

Pete didn’t do that, he liked the sun too much, wasn’t necessarily made for gooning. His family came from Italy, in the past they’d get up in the morning and have to tend to the farm.
