The Oyster Coast

By Matthew B. Thompson

The high technology of the late 21st Century has given us 300-story hyper-buildings for working, sentient robots for laboring and immaculate white sand beaches for relaxing. Texas’ innovative thinking has helped to usher in this era of prosperity and progress. The closer people get a goal, any goal, the more flaws they seem to find. The flaws may be real or only imagined. That's the dark side of perfection.

Both knobs are light brown in color.

Some of the students are in their seats, but most are not. Come on, Kids! the male teacher bellows. Get to your seats! Jonathan! Take your seat! He waits for the last of the students to sit down.

The teacher is clean-shaven and has very short, wavy hair. It’s mostly gray, but it still has bits of dark brown in it. He dresses very casually, wearing a dark gray t-shirt and light khaki slacks. Okay, good. Yesterday, we learned about farming sea-life in the
