The apocalyptic landscape was no one's friend. As another day dawned,
The scrap dealer Scrap once again put on her protective gear and exited

A person enters a bus and asks the driver how much a ticket costs. "2
units of the currency," the driver responds. The person is confused: 2
of what currency? After two seconds, the driver hands a ticket, closes
the doors, and starts driving. Cleverly, and with a satisfying sense of
comprehension, the person realises that the currency was time, and the
units were seconds. The bus then promptly stops, the driver looking
perplexed. "Was I wrong?" the person wonders, as the driver picks up an
LED lamp and touches the person twice. Nothing happens, the driver
apologises for "forgetting the new rules", and the person is thrown off
the bus -- after all, the person did not have two units of *the state of
being current*. (The funny point is that rules can be unclear and
change without making sense.)
