<p>She stepped into that office building from the dry bed of a river, walked up two flights of stairs, and into a floor of empty cubicles. She turned at random, moving through the rows, and sat down at one of the desks and thought a while.</p>
<p>A thought: <em>Why is the first instinct upon creating a wholly blank medium such as this to build in the nature we remember?</em></p>
<p>She stepped from the cubicle and turned left, out into a rolling, open field, dotted throughout with dandelions. She bent down and picked one, twirling it between finger and thumb, then tucking it behind her ear where the yellow could shine bright amidst the black fur there.</p>
<p>She could almost feel em, sometimes, as part of the very fabric of existence within the System. Almost. A dream of a dream of her friend, always just out of reach.</p>
<p>A thought: <em>Why do we drag our memories around with us like luggage?</em></p>
<p>So, she walked, and as she walked, she strove to draw her thoughts in the other direction. She strove to draw them forward, away from the past, so that she could consider the future.</p>
<p>What would this place look like, after seceding from the rest of the world? What would a land &mdash; if such could be said of the System &mdash; of those who had already seceded from the rest of humanity look like? How many would notice and rejoice? How many would notice and hate every second of it? How many would notice and not care, and how many would not even know that it had happened? That it had even been on the table?</p>
