He’s the last one left in South Royalton with a working laptop, a silver incongruity whenever he takes it from its case and plugs the white cord into the charging tower’s concatenation of rusting cables. Before that, before the last supplies ran out, he traded unleaded on the red market. Quentin is a Resurrectionist, a money hoarder. But it’s worth biking the seven miles just to bask in the shade of Quentin’s unrepentant optimism. Dorrie, the owner, is a strict no-currency Vore, and you have to know her to get in on the bartering for the really good stuff. The café serves mostly sassafras and stinging-nettle tea, but now and again there are red-market goods, unearthed from a collapsed house or a forgotten box in the pantry: half-rotted Lipton bags or dented cans of Bustelo two years past their expiration date. She’s sitting with Quentin at the Caf Café, set up under an enormous beech tree next to the South Royalton charging tower-a collection of salvaged plastic tables and chairs and a wheelbarrow cut up and welded into a wood-burning stove.

An envelope with only a check inside flapped like a flag, but an envelope containing a two-page letter had a solid integrity on every plane. The dignity, the businesslike efficiency of these slim objects, asking nothing, never disclosing more than they needed to. Still, she loved folding the paper twice over, into three equal parts she loved writing addresses, but especially her name and address in the upper-left corner. Her flaps were always overwet and lumpy when she pressed them down, she made them worse. In those days, perfect meant as if untouched by hands. Hence, please allow the 20% difference between advertised images and the actual item you received.She had never perfected the trick of moistening the envelope flap with the tip of her tongue so it would stick and lie perfectly flat. Also, advertised images may slightly different from actual item in terms of color due to the lighting during photo shooting or the monitor's display.
