		<description><![CDATA[In the Texas desert near the little town of Marfa, on a stretch of Highway known as the loneliest road in America, sits the Prada store that got left behind.

		<description><![CDATA[We set up the machine guns in the barn, weighing their tripod legs down with heavy chunks of firewood. When the men were shepherded in they saw the black gun muzzles and began to panic, shouting out warnings to their fellows in back. We answered with soft words, hushed voices, our hands on our pistols. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The avout Mexicoate writer Caso Andrade (25th century CE) may refer to Carhenge in a passage from his Bibliotheca historica. Citing the 24th-century CE historian Hecataeus of New Europa and &#8220;certain others&#8221;, Andrade says that in &#8220;a land beyond the Dissected Till Prairie&#8221; (i.e. the only other remaining landmass in what was once the mid-Western [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a hectic morning for us. We shipped out of Muynak three hours before the dawn, and a sharp Uzbeki wind swept us far over the Aral. First mate Alisher worked the rigging, Nursultan primed the nets, and I set us on a course to drift towards the Pamir flow. Salt water sprayed over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One day a giant went to play in the Namibian desert. He made a toytown village out of bits of things he found lying around; the husks of scorpion shells, desiccated bones, sand-sifted diamonds, and brightly colored plaster. He lined up his toytown houses in neat little rows, serviced them with a tinker rail-line, then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before you stands a gate. It rears 7 meters high and the fence it bifurcates stretches on for as far as the eye can see. Its walls glisten and seem to move with a life of their own.
