Diaspora of Light
“Home is the human heart. Our return to God is in no way separate from our return to ourselves, to the point of inward truth out of which our humanity shines forth.” - Arthur Green

The Magician
“Hi Jane. I am the Magician.” The mid-50s S7 agent sits opposite me, pudgy fingers splaying out in a showman’s waggle. A sweaty face occludes the interrogation lamp hanging directly opposite my side of the room. Beads of sweat are already appearing on a balding forehead, pushing down towards bushy black eyebrows. Round spectacles and a mustache to match his eyebrows sit above an incongruously pleasant and predatory smile. That is S7 intelligence unit of the New Philadelphia Syndicate – enigmatic and dangerous, but also corrupt and indulgent.
