A Taxing Situation
By Nanisi Barrett D’Arnuk
I packed all my papers and receipts into the new plastic crate I had bought yesterday and snapped it shut. It seemed strange to me. I’ve never kept all this stuff in one place before. I didn’t know I had so much of it. Sandy had told me I’d better see a CPA. I laughed. To me, CPA was the Cosmic Planetary Alliance.
Joanie, you can’t live twenty-four-seven in your sci-fi worlds,
she had said. The IRS will catch up with you one of these days.
No, we don’t want that,
I had answered, although I wasn’t sure the Interplanetary Reproduction Services had jurisdiction on our planet. Still, I wasn’t sure I was ready to have offspring yet.
So, I hefted my crate and drove to the address Sandy had given me. She had made the appointment for me and had reminded me almost hourly to be there on time. I hated schedules. I never checked my chronometer, and I expected computerization to keep things running. If someone wanted to be specific to Alliance Cosmic Temporal Chronization, then they had to have a chronometer to pick it up. I haven’t seen any in the stores lately, even though the price of an ACT-C had come down quite a lot.
I walked into the office—a small side room of a typical urban house—and was greeted by the CPA herself. She was dressed in a cherry silk suit, which looked like it had just been synthesized by Cerulean spiders.
Joan Howell? I’m Darlene Rogers. Sandy said you’d be in. Let’s see what you have.
Rogers? Are you a descendant of Buck’s?
I asked.
It took her a minute to make the connection. No. Usually, I’m asked if Roy was my grandfather.
Was he?
No.
Oh. I never followed Roy, but Buck was my Grandfather’s hero when I was little. I couldn’t wait to grow up and be like him.
Like your grandfather?
No! Like Buck Rogers! I definitely didn’t want to be like Wilma.
Oh.
She laughed, not knowing who Wilma was. Bring your stuff into my office, and we can start to go through it.
I followed her into the next room and set my crate on a chair. Sandy tells me I’m not very organized,
I admitted. This feels like lot of scrap.
"Yes, Sandy told me the same thing. I have all
