I hadn't talked to Pat in ages… word has it, the government got wind of our thesis, found out Pat did most of the heavy lifting, and that was the last we talked for years.  So, I was a bit surprised to see an e-mail from Pat.Dionne@FreeMailNow.co.ru… even more surprised when it was a series of nostalgic references to a D&D game we played years earlier.",

The situations were close, but not right, and when I put it all together, it told a story.  A story about a scholar whose kids were being held captive by a corrupt government, forced to research dark magic for them.  And there was a clincher: A warning that the magic had escaped, a warning that all heroes had to leave the kingdom before it fell.",
