MEERGA
By John Shirley
"I don't have time to arrange for a driverless to pick you up, Ryan," Murray said.
"Dad, hey what: You could send one, on your way, just link in, shit." The boy was looking at him steadily, with something closer to disgust than defiance. Not such a boy, perhaps, Murray thought. Ryan wanted to go see his girl friend and he had that primeval flatness in his brown eyes, that stony lack of expression that teen boys got when they were strategizing getting laid. But he had his mother's skin, the color of a latte, and her long slender hands. Murray ached, when he looked at the boy's hands, and thought of his wife, and the suicide…
"You can see Tarina tomorrow," Murray said. "It's not that easy to get a driverless in here, they're booked up this time of day. Eventually I'm going to buy a personal driverless. But not right now--and I can't afford a lifter—"
"Nobody's asking for a fucking helicopter."
