A 100 Years Project workshop
Bateson was working when his boss came up to him and said that he was entering him into a horse race. He entered him into the horse race to make more money. Bateson was happy that he was going to get more money to provide more food for his family.
On the day of the horse race Bateson was feeling nervous about riding his horse. He was worried in case he lost. He told his boss, ‘I don’t want to do this race! I don’t get paid enough.’
His boss told him if he didn’t do the race he would be fired.
Bateson said, ‘If I don’t race, you’re not going to get any money!’
He agreed to the race because he knew he needed the money to feed his family. He hoped he would be paid a bonus.
Then the horse lost control when another horse bolted into him. It galloped while Bateson shouted for it to stop. The horse shook him off.
He fell, broke his back, then he blacked out and woke up in a different time zone where there was a different generation of people...
