More DescriptionIn an overcrowded world, juggling is almost a lost art, since the poor processed diet of a global factory production line has left most of the population weak, dizzy and forever ill. When the Juggler - one of the very few left with such a skill intact - agrees to take a young boy, David, with him on his travels, he discovers just how far someone will go to steal his art for themselves. 'One in a million people aren't affected by the pollution. One in a thousand didn't get any of the hundreds of diseases that spread like wildfire and mutated when the heat rose. One in a hundred were able to adapt to the diet of processed food. One in ten did not succumb to depression after they stole all the natural light and put us in plastic cages. I'm the one in a billion who escaped all of these.'The Juggler is a short story, and is also in the collection Apocalypse: Five Dystopian Stories.
