Most of it is as he remembers it, but there is the occasional change. A new building here, a bit of glass there. Behind him, the door clicks shut as a smiling young man, pushing an empty wheelchair, leaves. A woman walks over to him wearing a white, plastic apron. As she tends to him, golden light flows over the city from the low sun, and the city of Rome, stretching into the distance, seems to glow slightly. text/html 2010-03-09T16:28:04+00:00 http://classified.chaosdeathfish.com/fic:a_vision?rev=1268152084&do=diff I am not the expert on this, but I propose the following: * Governments must never again be allowed to hide so much from their citizens, to watch them day and night or to have them 'disappear'. We must teach people not to listen to their fear, or to delegate responsibility to states, but to stand up and deal with their problems as a community. * The nature of magic has been hidden from the vast majority of humanity.

There is a bearded man in a blue tabard doing most of the talking and the others, a cloaked figure with a scythe, a hermaphrodite holding a golden staff and a lizard-man seem to be clinging on to his every word; asking questions and making astute observations on what he seems to be describing. text/html 2010-03-10T14:19:22+00:00 http://classified.chaosdeathfish.com/fic:end?rev=1268230762&do=diff They sat watching the sun set over the sea.
