"Let's give an earthman his -wish for a day. We haven't played that game in ages."</p> - -<p>"How do we pick him?" Firepride asked indulgently. "Phone book?"</p> - -<p>"Intensity's more fun. But no more nomads, I got so bored putting -connoisseur features on synthetic camels!"</p> - -<p>Peter Stone put on his hat and started for the station. Every third -step he inhaled and told himself: "It isn't that bad." Peter had a good -job, a good wife, and commuting was wearing him down to a twitch. Sooty -teeth-rattling train, Penn Station's steaming caverns, a soggy lurching -bus, lunch down in sun-seared, exhaust-ventilated streets and the ride -home ... as the hated maroon dot of his train appeared, a convulsion of -revulsion shook him.</p> - -<p>"I <i>wish</i> it weren't that bad!" he thought with every fiber. And -Powers-of-pearl, suffused with the glow of challenge, laughed.</p> - -<p>Peter Stone, fighting at the newsstand, noted with annoyance that a -crew of maintenance men swarmed about the train. "Broke down <i>again</i>," -he thought bitterly. Halfway down his car two men ran a vacuum cleaner -over the tired plush. Keeping pace behind them, two others aimed -wide-mouth silver hoses upwards, spreading thick sheets of foam on the -ceiling. It wasn't until Peter Stone unfolded his newspaper that he -noticed how quiet had spread with that foam. Next, his ears registered -with surprise the purr of freshly-oiled machinery, and his eyes the -sight of a tree, for once without its double window screen of hair-oil -and dried grime droplets.</p> - -<p>When he boarded his bus, a maintenance man was just hanging a sign over -the gagged fare box:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"><p>Due to Tax Readjustment, Urban Transportation Free.</p></div> - -<p>The driver, liberated from change-making and police duties, smiled a -greeting at him. No crush in the bus, perhaps because there seemed so -many about. The silver one coming towards him had a big green and white -sign: DOWN FIFTH TO 33rd. WEST ON 33rd TO SEVENTH. PENN STATION LAST -STOP. It was the first readable bus sign he remembered seeing.</p> - -<p>Whenever the light turned red, he found, squads of maintenance men -darted about the stopped cars and trucks, slapping silver cylinders -over each exhaust pipe. He could hear snatches of explanations: "City -ordinance," "Free service." As soon as a cylinder was in place, smoke -and noise stopped coming out of the exhaust.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>When his hat sailed gaily towards the hook, Peter Stone realized that, -incredibly, he wasn't tired. Work flowed through his fingers, his -secretary smiled, his boss looked in once and whistled. At noon only -the thought of paraffined carton coffee restrained him from staying in.</p> - -<p>"Coming right up, Seventeen!" said the new silver grille next to the -elevator button. Cheered, he clove the mindless rush downstairs and -pushed inside a luncheonette where maintenance men were finishing the -removal of every second stool and the re-upholstery of the remainder -with foam cushions. A smiling waitress brought him a menu and a pencil. -Opposite each item was a small circle, and a line at the top explained: -THIS IS YOUR MENUCHECK. PLEASE MARK WANTED ITEMS, DROP MENUCHECK IN -SLOT.</p> - -<p>Served incredibly fast, Peter Stone ate in blissful peace. On his way -out he saw that the cashier's cage had been replaced with three silver -cabinets with hoppers for Menuchecks and money, recessed cups for -change and a turnstile each. When he walked through he found that he -still had forty minutes of his lunch hour left.</p> - -<p>Forty minutes! He could walk to a bookshop, or the park ... walk, -through exhaust fumes and the belches of airconditioner waste? But -silver mesh covered the noisome vents. A cautious sniff assured him it -worked.</p> - -<p>He decided to walk to the Library newsstands for a foreign magazine. -As he reached 42nd and Fifth an army of workmen were putting the last -touches on a structure of dull silver that spanned the four sides of -the intersection. Airy and elegant, with faint echoes of Library style, -the quadruple arch provided the perfect finishing touch for the square. -Each side was composed of three escalators and moving platforms in both -directions, with a set of stairs and a promenade.</p> - -<p>Timidly, he set foot on the silver filigree. He was wafted up, -across and down. Beneath him flowed a brilliant river of quiet cars. -Fascinated, he took the trip back, then stood on the promenade watching -the pattern, breathing in incredulous lungfuls of clean air.</p> - -<p>The afternoon fled on newly silent feet. Once more he put on his hat to -face the ride home.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>His small, air-conditioned silver bus reached Penn Station ten minutes -earlier than usual. By now Peter Stone was not overly surprised to -see silver moving ways disappearing into the Station's maw, nor, once -inside, to feel breezes that blew silently from silver gadgets like jet -engines. He also accepted the waiting passengers dancing in the great -lobby—the piped music there had long been excellent.</p> - -<p>A low, pleasant voice announced his train in diamond-cut syllables -that floated from silver-dollar speakers spangling the walls. Silver -escalators swept to a bright platform covered in springy non-skid -green plastic.</p> - -<p>One wall of his train was made up of clear plastic sliding doors. -Inside, there were deep pile carpets, reclining chairs, low blue -overheads and movable reading lights. As the doors slid softly shut, -Peter Stone remembered as usual the letter he'd forgotten to mail for -his wife; but this time he could see a stamp machine and mail box at -the end of the car. When he got up he saw that there were also milk, -coffee, soda, fruit, cigarette, aspirin and newspaper vending machines, -and three telephone booths.</p> - -<p>The train glided to a hushed halt three minutes after a speaker at his -elbow had murmured the name of his station. Before his wife's goggling -eyes, Peter Stone bounded down the steps and ran to their car. She -remembered that evening the rest of her life.</p> - -<p>Powers-of-pearl let the silver evaporate, and with it the memory of it. -"The best game yet," she smiled, leaning in happy exhaustion against -Firepride's shoulder.</p> - -<p>"You were magnificent," laughed Firepride. "One step ahead of an entire -city!" Powers-of-pearl blushed radiantly.</p> - -<p>No trace of their game remained. But for some obscure reason, Peter -Stone decided that one day he would run for Mayor.</p> - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Long, Silvery Day, by Magnus Ludens - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE LONG, SILVERY DAY *** - -***** This file should be named 51550-h.htm or 51550-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/5/5/51550/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

"Let's give an earthman his -wish for a day. We haven't played that game in ages." - -"How do we pick him?" Firepride asked indulgently. "Phone book?" - -"Intensity's more fun. But no more nomads, I got so bored putting -connoisseur features on synthetic camels!" - -Peter Stone put on his hat and started for the station. Every third -step he inhaled and told himself: "It isn't that bad." Peter had a good -job, a good wife, and commuting was wearing him down to a twitch. Sooty -teeth-rattling train, Penn Station's steaming caverns, a soggy lurching -bus, lunch down in sun-seared, exhaust-ventilated streets and the ride -home ... as the hated maroon dot of his train appeared, a convulsion of -revulsion shook him. - -"I _wish_ it weren't that bad!" he thought with every fiber. And -Powers-of-pearl, suffused with the glow of challenge, laughed. - -Peter Stone, fighting at the newsstand, noted with annoyance that a -crew of maintenance men swarmed about the train. "Broke down _again_," -he thought bitterly. Halfway down his car two men ran a vacuum cleaner -over the tired plush. Keeping pace behind them, two others aimed -wide-mouth silver hoses upwards, spreading thick sheets of foam on the -ceiling. It wasn't until Peter Stone unfolded his newspaper that he -noticed how quiet had spread with that foam. Next, his ears registered -with surprise the purr of freshly-oiled machinery, and his eyes the -sight of a tree, for once without its double window screen of hair-oil -and dried grime droplets. - -When he boarded his bus, a maintenance man was just hanging a sign over -the gagged fare box: - - Due to Tax Readjustment, Urban Transportation Free. - -The driver, liberated from change-making and police duties, smiled a -greeting at him. No crush in the bus, perhaps because there seemed so -many about. The silver one coming towards him had a big green and white -sign: DOWN FIFTH TO 33rd. WEST ON 33rd TO SEVENTH. PENN STATION LAST -STOP. It was the first readable bus sign he remembered seeing. - -Whenever the light turned red, he found, squads of maintenance men -darted about the stopped cars and trucks, slapping silver cylinders -over each exhaust pipe. He could hear snatches of explanations: "City -ordinance," "Free service." As soon as a cylinder was in place, smoke -and noise stopped coming out of the exhaust. - - * * * * * - -When his hat sailed gaily towards the hook, Peter Stone realized that, -incredibly, he wasn't tired. Work flowed through his fingers, his -secretary smiled, his boss looked in once and whistled. At noon only -the thought of paraffined carton coffee restrained him from staying in. - -"Coming right up, Seventeen!" said the new silver grille next to the -elevator button. Cheered, he clove the mindless rush downstairs and -pushed inside a luncheonette where maintenance men were finishing the -removal of every second stool and the re-upholstery of the remainder -with foam cushions. A smiling waitress brought him a menu and a pencil. -Opposite each item was a small circle, and a line at the top explained: -THIS IS YOUR MENUCHECK. PLEASE MARK WANTED ITEMS, DROP MENUCHECK IN -SLOT. - -Served incredibly fast, Peter Stone ate in blissful peace. On his way -out he saw that the cashier's cage had been replaced with three silver -cabinets with hoppers for Menuchecks and money, recessed cups for -change and a turnstile each. When he walked through he found that he -still had forty minutes of his lunch hour left. - -Forty minutes! He could walk to a bookshop, or the park ... walk, -through exhaust fumes and the belches of airconditioner waste? But -silver mesh covered the noisome vents. A cautious sniff assured him it -worked. - -He decided to walk to the Library newsstands for a foreign magazine. -As he reached 42nd and Fifth an army of workmen were putting the last -touches on a structure of dull silver that spanned the four sides of -the intersection. Airy and elegant, with faint echoes of Library style, -the quadruple arch provided the perfect finishing touch for the square. -Each side was composed of three escalators and moving platforms in both -directions, with a set of stairs and a promenade. - -Timidly, he set foot on the silver filigree. He was wafted up, -across and down. Beneath him flowed a brilliant river of quiet cars. -Fascinated, he took the trip back, then stood on the promenade watching -the pattern, breathing in incredulous lungfuls of clean air. - -The afternoon fled on newly silent feet. Once more he put on his hat to -face the ride home. - - * * * * * - -His small, air-conditioned silver bus reached Penn Station ten minutes -earlier than usual. By now Peter Stone was not overly surprised to -see silver moving ways disappearing into the Station's maw, nor, once -inside, to feel breezes that blew silently from silver gadgets like jet -engines. He also accepted the waiting passengers dancing in the great -lobby--the piped music there had long been excellent. - -A low, pleasant voice announced his train in diamond-cut syllables -that floated from silver-dollar speakers spangling the walls. Silver -escalators swept to a bright platform covered in springy non-skid -green plastic. - -One wall of his train was made up of clear plastic sliding doors. -Inside, there were deep pile carpets, reclining chairs, low blue -overheads and movable reading lights. As the doors slid softly shut, -Peter Stone remembered as usual the letter he'd forgotten to mail for -his wife; but this time he could see a stamp machine and mail box at -the end of the car. When he got up he saw that there were also milk, -coffee, soda, fruit, cigarette, aspirin and newspaper vending machines, -and three telephone booths. - -The train glided to a hushed halt three minutes after a speaker at his -elbow had murmured the name of his station. Before his wife's goggling -eyes, Peter Stone bounded down the steps and ran to their car. She -remembered that evening the rest of her life. - -Powers-of-pearl let the silver evaporate, and with it the memory of it. -"The best game yet," she smiled, leaning in happy exhaustion against -Firepride's shoulder. - -"You were magnificent," laughed Firepride. "One step ahead of an entire -city!" Powers-of-pearl blushed radiantly. - -No trace of their game remained. But for some obscure reason, Peter -Stone decided that one day he would run for Mayor. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Long, Silvery Day, by Magnus Ludens - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE LONG, SILVERY DAY *** - -***** This file should be named 51550.txt or 51550.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/5/5/51550/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
