This is a story about Larry and Zelda. Larry's post-doctoral work had taken him to Thailand, to study tropical rain forest ecology. He knew that when global warming destroyed all the ice in the Arctic, understanding tropical rain forests would be the key to the survival of polar bears. His whole life had been spent agonizing over the unfairness of America, and the hardships people endured at the hands of conservative haters whose only goal in life was to obstruct people's happiness by the invention of cruel and arbitrary devices such as their definition of marriage.
It was there, in the ancient Mekong river valley, that he met Zelda. At first he had no idea what to make of her. Romance was the furthest thing from his mind, he was driven only by the need to save the planet. But she was beautiful, and she moved so gracefully. In Larry's free time, they would spend hours together on the banks of the vast Mekong River, talking quietly about how conservatives had brought the world to the very brink of destruction, and what the future held. They both understood the harm caused by the evil boundaries placed on marriage by conservatives. They both knew that one cannot place limits on true love. The bond between them grew, and they knew that, in spite of the haters, they would spend the rest of their lives together.
