The “well-informed” think they know something about matters that the experts are reluctant even to speak of. Information at second hand always gives an impression of tidiness, in contrast with the data at the scientist’s disposal, full of gaps and uncertainties.

It's date night!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter preview under the cut:

Well it took a bit of convincing, maybe even some shameless begging, but I finally managed to wrangle Esther into sitting for us again. Turns out Mina wasn’t a fan of the temporary sitter I got to replace Sleeper. And while nobody can compare to Sleeper in Mina’s eyes, Esther’s still someone stable in her life. That’s not something I’d easily give up. I pay upfront now of course, an expected contingency after having let Esther down so many times. 

“It’s nothing personal,” Esther says in the doorway of my unit. I finish counting out payment and place the chits in her outstretched hand.

“I know.” I shoulder my work bag with a polite nod. “I appreciate the second chance. So does Mina.”

Esther’s eyes crinkle with a pitying smile and after pocketing the chits she reaches up to pull her long, graying hair into a low ponytail. She glances inside past me and that familiar shame bubbles up. The unit feels smaller and more worn every time someone looks at it, even if they’ve been here before.

“You’re a good, young man, Lem,” Esther offers in that doting, matriarchal tone that led me to hire her in the first place. As I step aside to let her in, Mina, who’s been curled up in the living room all morning, finally looks up from the masterpiece she’s been drawing on her slate.

“Good morning, little one,” Esther says in her usual calm rasp. “Looks like we’re spending the cycle together.”

Mina, the one bright spot of color amongst her otherwise drab surroundings, grins at Esther from the couch but doesn’t hop up to greet her the way she does whenever Sleeper arrives. Instead, she directs her attention to me after a moment.

“Ask Robot, okay?” she says, reminding me of a promise I made at her request last night.

“I will. I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to visit again soon.” With that, I bid them both goodbye and hit the walkway.

Un lem todo insano

[thirdity]

People do not want immortality, they simply do not want to die. They want to live... They want to feel the ground beneath their feet, see the clouds overhead, love other people, be with them, and think. Nothing more. Everything that has been said beyond that is a lie. An unconscious lie.

A hug for Lem 🤍

[whatachaos]

I’m so normal about Citizen Sleeper,

Technically this is an illustration for chapter 9 of my lem/sleeper fic, Carving Through the Dark, but let’s be honest I was gonna end drawing them like this no matter what.
