FIREFLI-I-A-I-A-I!

Reply: Item #8370618 from URTH at LISTS.BEST.COM@INET00# Nutria, Glad you like the firefly--something just clicked in my head. I guess we or I (if there are such distinctions anymore) just reached critical mass--listen, this is kinda scarey--'member the mine at Saltus? Sure you do. 'Member the man-apes? Course you do. But at first ol' Severian couldn't tell what they was, just points of light off in the distance . . . five pointed stars . . . glowing . . . with phosphorescence . . . like man-size fireflies . . . I have to go lie down now. =mantis= P.S. Oh yeah, one last thing--a fire fly is also known as a "lightning bug." Re: wand of Cim ("But don't call her `Wanda,' Severin!") =m=
