By getting Petrus Detritus for me. Now.” “At your command…” Domitian returns within/ viewing wordless his badly disrupted tent/ Petey’s head breaks the inner flap almost immediately/ -G.O.D. is not that stupid. Or that inventive.

My mother, father, brother, sister, my wife and child, all gone. I have read my ‘ancient’ history, if you must call it that. You believe that you are not safe here? Do you believe that I am?” “But Dominus et Deus, everybody is afraid of you.” “That gambit did not work when first I was Emperor, why would it work now, child?

The catacombs continue to be dug out, and more and more ‘Japanese’ and/or ‘Chinese’ (my workers’ terms) are being located. They continue to be trucked out to the countryside to be buried in pits, at your command. The Cardinals are protesting this as well, and my response has been that these are without doubt not Romans so they are not due the largesse of the Roman ... Ken Egbert (aka K.
