Nagrobek z lastryko

A narrator in the distant future, a citizen of the Sixth Republic working in the funeral and entertainment sector, where a reality show called Become a Corpse breaks records, finds a holiday photo of his grandparents in Croatia in 2005. His grandmother nodded rather than said yes when proposed to; his grandfather kept trying to escape. Then came a great war, in which 'our little Poland was sold', and an uprising that left the Vistula flowing through the metro tunnel. The future is a pretext for a mocking portrait of today, from passwords for everything to dreary office jobs.
