What I am actually paid for

They call it public relations. What it is, is making the panic sound like a plan.

Nole taps a plot on the map and three thousand people have somewhere to stand in four years. I write the sentence that goes under it. The sentence is true. It is just not all of it, and being the person who decides how much of it fits is a strange way to earn a living.

A planet told everything at once would tear itself apart. I have read that line so often I have stopped checking whether I still believe it.
