“Couple of times.” I like museums.

“There’s a tablet there. Babylonian; before the Bible. Bunch of cats exiled or something. The were called Amankandu. ‘People who in sorrow roam’. Their leader was named Ka’in.”

“They’re still out there, the Amankandu. Still wandering. And when they meet, they know one another.” He raised his glass to me.

  2. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, Anon, I must point out that if I don’t know who you are I can’t send you the manuscript.

    Oh, yeah, and it’s not done. Not even close.
