On Lin & On Ice

Both take place in the near future, after The Collapse. ON LINE deals with the reaction to The Collapse by four strangers who meet on the line where all citizens of the city have been summoned by their new masters, the Civil Servants of the City, who are the only ones who know where the remaining civic resources are. ON ICE takes place a few years after ON LINE: The city is now shrouded in thick polution. Mick and Meg, two of its elderly citizens, in partially refrigerated state that requires less oxygen, outwit the young Recruiters for the deadly Games that are held by The Managers.

Without herself knowing why, Helen appears in the theatre where the audience has assembled, and after realizing what has happened, seizes the opportunity to set the record straight about her life, during which recitation, she makes clear that despite all the plays and books that have been written about her, her story has never been told. It is a story that recognizes all the known events, but, in each instance, gives a different meaning to them.

In South St. Louis, people used to say, "When you're standin' there hurtin' so bad you could die, an' you know you won't-that's the blues." And in August, 1919 in the midst of war-born inflation, while her eldest daughter is being wasted by tuberculosis-Liz Madden, a widow at forty-one, tries with what laughter, tears, and raillery she can muster, to hold her three younger daughters around - at least until Bud, her only son, "can get back from the Navy."

The City of Athens has been at war with Sparta for 17 years, and now, on the eve of her embarkation for an attack on the City of Syracuse, the city is a cauldron seething with frightened civilians and brawling soldiers, both of them frightened by the prospects of this greatest sea-attack ever mounted. And on this night of fear and apprehension, a band of bitter young veterans comit an act of terror against the populace: they deface the images of the god who guards wevery house that can afford one, thus throwing the city into such a paroxysm of fear that they turn their affairs over to a demagogue, who proceeds to lay waste to them and their democratic institutions. This man's power is finally broken by the testimony of a young man - the first on record to put forth the idea that an Accused person should be considered innocent until proven otherwise.
