Women with sharp angled cheek bones and copper to gold eyes stood peering out into the water. Looking into the onlooker; inviting with sly subtle smiles and open palms. The men leaned or stood with their armor in heaps and their weapons sleeping unsheathed. Suffusing the shore was a glow which emanated from the inhabitants. A soft ghost light nuzzling each shadow and fall of silk.

The spinning pinwheel of death appeared over the water and the screen froze completely. As Mark watched the supposedly un-crash-able device devour his art final he began to weep.
