The Dominion, Part One: Gods
From the top of Central Tower Cassandra White could look out over the whole of the Dominion. Her Dominion. A grin spread slowly across her lips, stopping well short of her eyes, as a fire flared somewhere far below. It’s yellowish orange glow shining small as lights on a festival tree among the glittering sea of white pinpricks beneath her feet. One more slum up in smoke.

The Living Arc Angels Part 2
(TYLER’S POINT OF VIEW) In the alley behind the Italian restaurant a white light appeared in swirling circles. Out of it stepped the four living arc angels. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but that was what Thomas had called us. We were once again back on earth. We stood together a moment in silence. Then the silence was broken as Eric yelled, “Whoa! Guess what?” Our attention quickly turned to him with interest not knowing what could have caused such an outburst. He looked back at us a moment and then with obvious embarrassment said, “I’m hungry. I just never thought I’d be hungry again.” A roaring laughter filled the alley. “Well, I would love to taste food again. After all, it’s been 3 years since the last time I ate.” I didn’t wait for anyone else to respond. I held tight to Andrea’s hand and started toward the end of the alley. Eric and Christine quickly followed. Andrea jokingly said, “Maybe that’s why they brought us back behind an Italian restaurant.” Once again we all shared in much needed laughter as we rounded the corner and headed toward the side door. Then after several more steps we were walking through the door, stopping just behind the register and waiting to be seated. Promptly, a waitress came up and asks us where we would like to sit. Christine said, “it doesn’t matter… we’re just glad to be here.” The waitress looked a little baffled by the reply but still grabbed a few menus and then headed off to show us to a seat. Eagerly we followed her toward the front of the restaurant. Finally the waitress stopped in front of a table that rested against the windows that made up the front wall. From here you could see the cars moving back and forth on the road that ran adjacent to the front of the establishment. To most this would have been an annoyance, however it had been a little while since any of us had seen any roads even with out any cars to be on them, so it was a new wonder to rediscover to us. So happily we sat down. Andrea slid into the booth on the left side and I slid in after her, and Christine slid into the booth on the right side followed by Eric.

John Biz24Published 10 months ago in ChaptersThe Interview
It was just after 9 o’clock in the city that never sleeps. The traffic settled from the early morning rush, and the sea of blurry faces on the crosswalks reduced to vague flickers of familiarity. The lines outside the coffee shops dwindled, and the diners were filled with the usual natives of Manhattan- the music teachers, the housekeepers, and the retirees. The restaurants droned with a melting pot of Polish, Italian, Spanish, and Hebrew dialects. How they managed to break away from the hustle and bustle of city life, no one can say for certain. Most never bothered to ask. Those who did left none-the-wiser. But every morning started the same. They read their newspapers and nursed their coffee as if they had all the time in the world.

They just sold me what I asked for. I’d had to return to the apartment to load all my clips and pack my ammo bag.
