...an excerpt -
Marge shakes the dust from her notes. Turns her eyes back to what’s written. She pages, glances at names. Headings.
Nitocris.
Caesar.
Magdalene.
Red Jack.
Bovary.
De Sade.
Crowley.
She sits back, a blank stare, then glances at a bulletin board peppered with lost and found notes. Mostly people, relatives, and friends looking for people, relatives, and friends. Some notes are otherwise. Notes of information and requests. Like Marge’s note.
Marge’s note clings to a corner of the board. Looking for information about Ibn Schacabao. That strange man from the 8th Century. Still alive. A pact with the Old Ones, it’s rumored. So said Marge’s research.
And he’s here, in London.
Marge knows; she smiles.
