Ask the Futurist!
Unknowable forces at work.
Actual, real pronoucements of gnomic wisdom from a bona-fide, true-life Futurist!
- Soothseeker A
- What does my future hold?
- Futurist
- The light grinding of your left leg on a spinning mill wheel. Torrid love in the back seat of a Morris Minor. Indifference where there should have been remorse. Accordion lessons. Death. Next!
- Soothseeker B
- Will there be peace in death?
- Futurist
- Yes, there is no dancing. Next!
- Soothseeker C
- Where are my car keys?
- Futurist
- Where you left them. Next!
- Soothseeker D
- What is the secret to eternal life?
- Futurist
- Never grow old. Next!
- Soothseeker E
- How can I prevent my barberries from withering in the frosty winter months?
- Futurist
- Gather your barberries and horde them in the inner caverns of your abode. Next!
- Soothseeker F
- How might a blind man perceive a rainbow?
- Futurist
- Through the feeble pronouncements of the partially sighted. Next!
- Soothseeker G
- Where is my treasure buried?
- Futurist
- Sail to the Salty Seas. Tack west some eighty leagues from Skull Promontory. Land at the Island of Freudian Nightmares. Follow the direction of the setting sun until you reach a tree in the shape of a panther riding a unicycle. Turn right and walk one hundred and fifty paces in the gait of a one-legged man. You are in a nunnery. Renounce all treasures. Next!
There is no next. It is the end.
