Short Story

Equal Rights For Futurians!

Tony Milligan tells a futuristic story about the rights of future people.

The statue of Boudicca shows the warrior queen urging on an invisible army with more than usual vigour. Striding past her plinth, a man approaches. He is dressed i n the classical style with a decorative partial-toga. His hand is raised and he booms: “Greetings Near Earthians!”

“We seem to be lost. What is this place?’ I reply, hoping that the natives are as friendly as they seem.
