"The actress was a furry hominid with thick black nails and hairy calloused
feet. She was naked and covered in wiry black fur. People could do this
sort of thing conveniently if they were willing to activate some of the
human junk DNA. It wasn't a medical activity that lengthened the life span,
so it was the sort of thing that one did in a spa.
In certain modern circles it was considered very relaxing to retreat to a prehominid form. A few soothing months of very dim consciousness, with the hunt for food to keep one toned. The prehominid guests at the spa ate fruit and chased and killed small animals with sticks. They wore tracking devices and were feted once a week on carrion..." -- from Holy Fire (1996) |
