Reflections of a Housekeeper, by Angela Burnes, week 36

There's no electricity. The entire block is without power, quieter and darker at night. Everything across the city is grinding to a halt.

You need a massive infrastructure to supply energy to all the homes in a city like San Bavón. But if that infrastructure enables political agents like Miraflores (or Nixon back home, for that matter), I wonder if it's worth it. If people can't provide for themselves without also feeding the machinery of an oppressive regime, then maybe we'd be better off living in the wild.

Gabriel didn't leave a task list today, and it's not like him to forget. I hope he's all right.
