Perspective: The Future Historian · Sight
The streetlamps flicker across sharp, wool silhouettes and newsboys’ caps as the headlines scream of the Kaiser’s collapse, a crumbling monarch foreshadowing the total geopolitical shifts I’ve cataloged in the archives. I watch a driver grumble while handing over a thin dime and a nickel for a gallon of fuel, cursing that **$0.15** as if it weren't the bargain of a dying age. People hurry past toward the electric glow of the **movies**, their eyes wide with the frantic energy of a world pivoting toward total war. Through my lens, the stiff collars and long, heavy coats are merely costumes for a generation about to vanish into the mud.
