In a twilight hazy suburban world there was a metal structure housing a large pool of liquid shit. Floating on the surface was a grid of technological devices harvesting energy. I had gotten one of these devices get electricity for my family. To link it to the system I had to reach over from a walkway to put it on the surface of the liquid and connect it to the others. Then I clipped in a heavy battery unit. I got it connected OK, but my hands were splattered with shit.
I woke and got up to drink some water. I started washing my hands and only realised half way through that there was no need.
