Last night I dreamt I was at my Nanna’s house in Linlithgow. I’ve always believed her house to be haunted. I should know; I spent almost every sch...ol holiday there. A faulty radio switches itself on and off and broadcasts loud static (and maybe quiet voices, and maybe not). Curtains billow wildly after dark. I would never spend the night alone there, even now.In my dream it is five years ago. I am fifteen years old. My Nanna’s best friend has had a fall. Nanna is telling me she has to visit her. "Your -- circumstances -- were unique." If you had been someone else," Margarita said, "I would have just been a naked girl on a bed, to be fucked."I was shocked at her choice of words -- even if she had spoken it in Spanish. It was the first time Margarita had spoken to me in this manner. "I don't know," I said. "I think many men would have reacted as I did, to your -- captivity." Some would, yes. Some others, I'm not so certain." It doesn't matter. You are safe now. We must look to your. I must have got that from my mother. Not the cursing. I'm much more creative than her, and of course she can only curse quietly to me and to no one else, especially not the chief. But there's a reason she teaches the chief's offspring." You curse him and he punishes you, sentences you to death?" Salomé growls."He had to. The whole tribe heard me. It was a ceremonial moment."Everyone listening nods, and they nod again when Salomé proclaims, "You're coming with us." I ... I can't," Ahchkah. Lots of couples, and some singles, had children in nuclear families. That aspect of society hadn’t changed much, but there were no unwanted children.Jim smiled as he reflected on some things that maybe could have been done differently. They didn’t need to get rid of the incest taboo. But with the original rogue virus he’d already been having lots of sex with his daughters, and so had sons, daughters, mothers and fathers throughout the world. Why make them feel guilty? And he had to admit that.
