Fiction of another world - The Ginette's Pub
I was there at the 43 - Ginette's Pub, seated on my leather stool - a safe bet - to sip my café as it seems to be several decades ago. Ginette didn't get old from this time, me too, and the pub friends - always pressed or lied down after their daily absynte competition - too. This place was sober-minded, the light didn't truly spread, in a way that when we weren't going outside it gave us the envy to return inside. It was calm, we could constantly hear the fan blade upside of our head at least if the other boozers were K.O. Sometimes, The old radio, as an old machine from an other time, hummed "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire". Everything was calm. Until 2:00 PM. 2:00PM, It was time to return to work. I needed to insert a coin to Ginette for the café. There was the first difficulty of the afternoon, which money to use ? It's over a century now than the traditional currency rates was fallen down. Those countries have been another world, The Old Americas is fallen, as Europa carried away by the economic tsunami. Anarchy has been installed in these countries. It's a little ironical, countries which wanted evolution has fallen, leaving blasted areas. Thousands of currencies born there. Everyone filled with hope, and the next weed destroyed by the competition causing the poverty of the one which believed in those courrencies. Here on the other hand, a solution has been found by the governement thus reconciling economyt and peace, at least within the region. There weren't to hesistate, not having a million of currency but only few I had already my payment habits. Ginette'd be happy to know my my faithfulness in each case, defunct Euros, or Dollar, Bitcoin... It does not matter. I needed to leave of the 43 taking place at the 5th floor, It was ironical to see a place with so old value while the foundation of the 43 took place above of the 22 du 4th floor, all modern, all spacious, all free et all luminous... However the work is waiting for me.
