" The Model"

I think Tally and Shay do have it exactly right. I do think that what the models are doing is a disease. I think they would be just as nice if they looked like them natural selves.

"A few solar panels glimmered feebly, gathering what sun was reflected from the mist. Garden plots were planted in random spots between the buildings, twenty or so one story structures made from long planks of wood. There was wood everywhere: in fences; as cooking splits; laid down in walkways over muddy patches; and in big stacks by the fires. Tally wondered where they had found so much wood."
