I. Prague
Home was no longer home. Astira stood in line with her i5 passport. She felt the distortion in the emotions of the people around here. She tried to smile at the zombie man, & show him her passport image. His synthetic smile twisted into a stupid happy face. She wanted to cry, but she focused her mind instead- way too much was at stake.
A bridge to the city of the lost- she worked her way through the shine of the nightlife.
……II. Paris
The Count smiled warmly. Fresh from Neptune's coast, Doge Kassanova breezed into the room.
"Count, I am but a poor player who struts & frets his hour upon the stage- but I return to your side." and Kassanova bowed politely. Then he let loose a mighty thunderclap of wind. For a full ten minutes they laughed their asses off.
Later, at dinner on the balcony, Doge spoke seriously,
"Count, this actress Teresa*, you say you have a relationship?" and Doge looked at the Count with incredulity.
"Well, sort of," said the Count.
"We send signals to each other."
Doge leaned back in his chair with an amused worry.
"Count, you saved my life once. Now let me return a favor. This popular actress is known to me. Count- listen to me, there are unpleasant things you need to know- about her. She is not what she seems. After all, she is an actress."
And Doge looked upon his friend with mild concern.
