Chapter 81.
Five hundred years later

Five hundred years later, that is to say
Last week. Washington, D.C. Near the Italian Embassy.
Ambassador Enrico Tustesso had plenty of reliable, highly-paid security guards, so he
didn’t worry too much for his own safety when he saw an old vintage-looking folio on the
doorstep to the home he was renting in Cathedral Heights. Odd, though. Doesn’t have an
envelope or Fed Ex box or anything. Just the folio. What is that, a picture of a bat, or a demon
or something? Ambassador Tustesso picked up the folio. On the cover was a small yellow
Post-It which read:
“Red spheres = corporations
Salamanders = the workers; proletariat
Putti = science
Now stand back and observe.”
