Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady

“Lawndale Sun Herald?” Aialah asked as she looked at the newspaper. She supposed that was the name of the town. Lawndale. ‘Sounds very suburban,’ she thought.

 

 

“Name of settlement confirmed,” the computer reported. “Lawndale.”

 

“Aialah to Baffin. It’s called Lawndale.”

 

“Acknowledged,” Alpha said. “Investigate further. Find a library and research the history of the area.”

 

“Understood. Aialah out.”

 

“Computer, access the internet. Download information on Lawndale and it’s neighbouring region,” Alpha ordered.

 

“Affirmative.”

Excerpt from: Daria – The Youngest Barksdale

Daria sighed.

 

 

Having endured Ms. Barch’s misandry Daria went to lunch. She entered the cafeteria and saw the cliques various people were in. ‘Where to sit?’ she wondered. She looked around. She saw Brittany sitting with other cheerleaders and Jodie sitting with an African American guy. ‘Looks like they’re a couple,’ she thought. She decided to sit by herself.

Excerpt from: Daria – Trouble in Lawndale

“Yes, Daria,” Ms. Defoe said. “This is Jane Lane.”

 

“Hi,” Daria said.

 

“Jane Lane. Ms. Defoe says that you’re into alternative art.”

 

“I suppose,” Daria allowed. “Are you to?”

 

“I have some of my art here,” Jane said. “Ms. Defoe?”

 

“The storeroom is open, Jane,” Defoe said.

 

 

Daria entered the storeroom after Jane. She could see many paintings with a similar style. All of them alternative.

 

“You’ve picked an interesting time to start here,” Jane said, interrupting her examination of one of the paintings.

 

“Oh?” Daria asked.
