Cyberpunk 1876

Scenes of the Most Revolting Character

When you see a boy sitting, looking
at the moon, you may know he
meditates migration. Our fast rising
city became an adept in gamblers,
roughs and prostitutes, a fountain from
which sprays of champagne injure
itself more than any enemy could do.
All the necessary machinery have
become accomplished facts. The lame
walk, the blind see, the deaf hear.
Midnight orgies are made square, then
cooked and packed in tins. A pump
may be seen in operation at the Bee Hive,
that place along the wharves, where
all the choice parts are sold to markets.

Daily Contemporaries

She looked as neat as a new pin,
abaft and between, but no stranger dares
to go near. Everything was the very
acme of spring, a bouquet of pear
blossoms plucked from the Chinese
empire. Dick says he has a partner
for life, an accomplished lady assistant
who accompanied him in various
shapes from La Du's up the valley.

Those Allowed to Remain In Situ

We have before us a cheese in even
the minutest details. It is the same
with leather, the men, and everything.
Antoine no longer takes an interest
in things going on about him, there being
no such person at that place. He was
a man twenty-seven years of age, light
complexion, blue eyes, brown hair.
No violent paroxysms, but hourly grows
weaker. Such investments are to be
made very different from those of 1798.
Very different ideas prevail now. This,
of course, would horrify the old Jeffersonian
theorists. It really makes no difference.
