Professor Johnson looked up at his class and smiled. She had been away for six weeks. And here she was back jumping in with one of the most famous conspiracies.

“I can bring you some later tonight.”
“And read it to me.”

Sally went straight to writing. She didn’t even go back to the apartment. She found a quiet courner in the library and started writing without a plan.

... card. The Mayor knew not to suggest paying for the meal. Not with Taxpayer’s money. Silversnake was the kind of rich that didn’t pay taxes.
“I’ve got to get back to my office Mr. Carrie.”
Silversnake stood up and stuck his hand out. The Mayor tried to read him. All he knew for certain was that he hated the man.

Silversnake sat in his office and stared at the fish. He had his hand on the phone. He looked at it and notice that the phone was not broken. He smiled. He almost laughed and punched in the number for his friend.
“Longgate.” ...

... Silversnake hung up and rubbed his hands together. He rubbed his hands together for most of an hour smiling and watching the fish. Then he stood up and went to the tank and tossed in some more food, a little more than usual.
“Eat up, my little friends. Life is short.”

After pacing back and forth in his library for most of an hour, Silversnake took his favourite Book from the table where it always sat beside the leather armchair he almost always sat in. The light was perfect for reading. There were a few thousand ...

... “Spare the rod. Spoil the hoard.”
The doorbell rang and Silversnake slapped his book closed, dropped it on the table and went to meet his friends.

The phone rang.
“Silversnake.”
“Good morning, Mr. Silversnake. Mr. Rutherford is here to see you.” ...

Sally went home and let Billy cook a meal for the three of them. It was good to clear her head. But after the meal she sat at the kitchen table to work a little more on her story.
“What’s that.” ...

... writing a story for my class.”
“Okay. I’ll drink a glass of wine and not distract you.”
Sally watched Caprice help Billy clean up while she sipped occasionally on her wine. Then she went back to scratching out the rest of the story while it was still fresh in her head.

Maybe something very different is true. So different that it is just about impossible for us to perceive it even when it is simple and obvious. Maybe because it is horrible but also, it might be so beautiful that it’s embarrassing and we find it ...

... “That’s what I said. I mean with the Ark.”
Sally was frustrated with her story. She put her pencil down and sat on the sofa with Caprice and stared out the window over the city.

Everything had been arranged. It had to be the 11th of September for it was a significant religious day of war with the Islam and Christian world. And although religion and all its rituals were completely retarded and pointless, it kept the slaves busy trying to figure everything out. ...

... Sally didn’t like the ending but she couldn’t work on it anymore. And it was already getting a bit late. She kissed Billy and Caprice and went out for a long run. One that would have a long break with the professor.

After their meal they took a walk through Central Park to let the meal settle in. They hadn’t made a plan for further entertainment. They were content to talk about basketball or biology. Their walk through the park landed at the Prescott Hotel. ...
