From the first little section of Chapter 1 that ends in stunning fashion, this story is a wonderful, emotional ride full of action and angst. Every chapter has something big and dramatic happening, so it's a very hard story to put down once you start reading it. It centers around a case that personally involves both Mulder and Scully in a way unlike most (every?) other casefile fic. Plus the mytharc is involved, and it also brings back the intriguing character Detective Kresge, who was so important in "Emily" and "Christmas Carol." It is AMAZING. Read it! Title: Locusts Author: syn Summary: An unexpected death begins a terrible journey for Dana Scully and Fox Mulder; one that threatens to tear their faith, their beliefs and their partnership apart. Length: 168k (~28,700 words) Classification: Adventure, Angst Rating: R Spoilers: Season 5 up to "Emily" Favorite line: How she loved pathology; it had the emotional benefit of the story combined with the distance of science. Read the story!

This early twentieth century can of S.S. Kresge paint advertises that it dries in four hours. Someone was careless with reaffixing the lid, and so the contents of the can dried solid.

"No historical sense of our country’s history of enslaving and exploiting African Americans for profit and for control, a system that’s still perpetuated today, if not in the owning of humans then in their imprisonment, in economic disinvestment, and controlling their images. For most of its history, and you could argue even now, that when it comes to capital, it’s a medium largely controlled by white men.”
