INTERMISSION       -------------------    we       were     children,        father     took      us      to      see      a     man       with     a        buzzing       machine,         all of us,       had    to    get    it.      otherwise,     he  couldn’t   tell  us   apart .    i   went   first,    because    i     didn’t    want    to   see    my    brothers    afraid.

“   and   where’s   that   somewhere   safe?   ”    alice   still   wasn’t   quite   sure   about   the   danger   he   must   have   been   talking   about,   but   the   way   people   were   talking   .   .   .   but   then   she   feels   an   anger   ——   what   were   people   hiding   from   her?    “   are   you   going   to   be   there   too?   ”

❝ you met the fates. remember them? ❞ lara spoke into the dead of night, the only sound breaking through is the distant flow of a creek. recalling fondly their shared course work on greek archaeology in boston.   ❝ always singing in the back of your mind...sometimes i wonder, if this is our fate. eternally meant to wander.  ❞

@shawky​:   the only person i’d run through an airport for is you.

     “   then why don’t you ?   “     chris asked.     with certainty that bordered on absolute ,    he thought about the last and maybe only time he had ever seen shawky actually run before ,    and how it was when he’d fled from a threatening looking insect of unknown origin in the sand outskirts of alexandria.

     “   oh.     ‘cause you’re always asleep over by baggage claim by the time my flight actually gets in.    that’s right.   “     chris threw an arm over shawky’s shoulder to draw him in toward his side ,     “   you’re sweet.   “     so close that they stumbled a little on the red bricked streets of yesterday with a chest born and happy laugh ,    and press a kiss in his hair.     “   really ,    though ?     not even for madonna ?   “

FROM THE CROFT ARCHIVES. One of the only known photographs of the legendary archaeologists: Lady Lara Croft (centre, with Howard Carter), to her right Professor Werner Von Croy and, in glasses, famed explorer Seth Shawky.  (photograph circa 1933 or 1936, Cairo. A young Lady Croft was invited on the expedition by her mentor Von Croy according to a series of letters unearthed in 1992. Following his death, Winston Smith curated much of his later writings and unpublished works - this photograph was amongst the documents. The Historical Society thanks Mr. Smith for his work and his generosity.)
