Gallery Fight

A sophisto milieu. A fight has broken out and most of the involved have drunk too much of the freely available, ubiquitous Red Circle beer. They were supposed to be subdued by the universal beverage, not unlike Orwell’s Victory Gin, rendered placid, pliable and more sociable, but the opposite has happened. Now there’s real trouble. The small boy knows the ‘restorative’ power of the stolen fish and offers it to one of the victims.
