From the sordid beginning, follow the tail that led to the creation of the PLEA and PECA class androids of the future.

This is just a quick little love story. It’s a slightly expanded version of a writers challenge where a 1,000-word story had to include portions of lyrics from several different songs. That’s why certain scenes may seem a bit forced, like the bar room. This story has references to 5 songs. If you’re the type that enjoys this sort of thing, name as many as you can in the comments. Fair warning—several are quite obscure. Have fun!

This Story is Part of Jake's Universe
After 22 years of marriage, things go astray for Noah. A man without vision to see ahead, but highly competent at his work. Cultural pressures in a land he does not know create a current that pulls him along to a place he knows not. But he ends up with a wife and two mistresses! While this story is not specifically attached to the Jake’s Choices Universe, assumes knowledge of life in the Philippines, which I have covered in the Threads Joyfully and with Ganda stories in the Universe.
