In the centre of this vast, and yet empty city, there stands a tower of stone. The cracks suggest that it is of a hardy nature, able to withstand severe weather conditions, although the day is mild. The whole structure throbs with an unexplained electricity.

There is a scent of salt in the breeze, there is a beach nearby. It may well be a safe place to swim today, but at night the sharks know no fear, and everything fears them.

	1944? Liberation of Paris? What year was it when you went to bed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	1926. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, there you go then! It hasn't happened yet. Give it another 18 years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Everyone is so obsessed with the future lately that they forget about the present. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Heh. The future is the past, it all repeats in one form or another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2013-06-10 12:29 am UTC (link)
	And the past is always present. Time is an illusion, then. Yes, I like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Glad you do. Welcome to 'Neverland'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, Peter Pan? Goodness, you all do enjoy your literary references. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well it seems to fit. You'll find people here from several eras and dimensions, several of which are works of fiction in one place or another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This must be what Gil was blabbering on about. How interesting. Fiction? Curious. Most curious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-06-10 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Oh its curious all right. Who's Gil? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	An American writer. Always going on about living two lives, being from another world, the future, God knows. I always assumed he was on the absinthe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know, I suppose its possible. I never heard of that sort of thing back home, but considering I kept quiet about my own situation it wouldn't surprise me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2013-06-10 12:40 am UTC (link)
	I imagine most people would keep quiet unless they wanted to be thrown in the looney bin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That or killed or experimented on. So 1926! That was a fun year. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2013-06-10 10:10 am UTC (link)
	Yes, better to avoid all of that. Fun? Do you think so? I haven't been having fun. Or perhaps I've been having too much fun, and you have to pay for fun, and not with money. Not only with money. I haven't enough to light a fire in the winter, and the baby always cries. It hasn't been fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-06-10 10:23 am UTC (link)
	Fun for me anyway. Hang in there, it gets better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2013-06-10 10:24 am UTC (link)
	Good for you, sir. I find that hard to believe, but this whole place is rather hard to believe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-06-10 10:43 am UTC (link)
	You get used to it, don't worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2013-06-10 03:48 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not worried. I'm very adaptable. (Reply to this) (Parent)
