Staring through the flicker of gaslight, I observe a woman adjusting her S-bend corset, her pouter pigeon silhouette casting a jagged shadow against the heavy lace curtains. The morning gazette screams that the Lawton Fund Now $45,097., a staggering sum that marks the precise fiscal dawn of a century defined by such concentrated capital.
It is a bally strange sight to see the future etched into her high collar and the glint of a new Kodak camera on the sideboard. These primitive mechanical pulses are the first tremors of the technocratic empire I study from the far end of time.
