"SF looks towards an imaginary future, while fantasy, by and large, looks towards an imaginary past."
- Frederik Pohl

Handicloset  
  A self-organizing closet  

Lars Powderdry, weapons fashion designer, enters his place of business to begin work for the day.

Leaving Miss Bedouin, he entered his own office, removing his outer cape, cap and slippers, and extended these discarded items of street-wear to the handicloset.
