1. Terrifying- Gabriella Cilmi
UfOtext=
Count Bling strolled through the streets of Naples, blending into the  
crowd of tourists and natives. Deja vu walked by his side, guiding his  
every step. And then, in one instant, deja vu vanished as if the count  
had wakened from a dream of great significance.
"Count Bling, I cannot believe my eyes- tell me, is it really you?"
"Doge Kasanova- I cannot believe my ears or my eyes," and then the  
count checked his breast pocket and felt for the fullness of his  
travel wallet.
"Count," said Doge, "still you do not trust me?" And Doge feigned a  
look of injury.
  At this the count smiled and said
"I trust that you have not changed any more than mankind itself has  
changed!"
Later that evening Doge asked
"Count, what brings you to Naples?"
"Actually," explained the count, " I am just passing through Naples  
enroute to Pisa. I wish to see the renowned SuperNaturalist, Don  
Gregor," and the count took another drink of his wine.
"Oh yes, I think he creates devices of excited light" said Doge  
thoughtfully.
"Exactly, now have you heard of traders from the edge of our galaxy,  
traders who have small yet powerful devices that work by a form of  
magic without magic?" inquired the count.
Doge thought for a moment, " there was a trader who came by last year  
who said he belonged to some sort of foundation, Yes, I think he must  
have been one of these magicians you speak of."
"Very interesting," said the count, "I have never seen one myself, but  
I would like to some day." And the count took  one more drink of his  
wine.
"But count, before you go, could I ask of you one small favor?" and  
Doge appeared sincere.
"Of course" said the count, "my service of good will shall never end."
"There is to be a great Carnival in Rome, including an underground  
auction of fresh Turkish slaves. Could you attend?" And Doge appeared  
hopeful.
