a demon, a fairy, and the Zeenus (chapter 16)

From the headlines of today comes the ultimate adventure story of discovery. Two scientists unwittingly introduce a small tribe of prehistoric people living in isolation for a half million years to the ultimate modern predator: humanity.

Fifty brides flee their fifty grooms and seek refuge in a villa on the coast of Italy in this modern re-making of one of the western world's oldest plays, The Danaids by Aeschylus. And, in this villa on the Italian coast, the fifty grooms catch up with the brides, and mayhem ensues.

An exploration of people's funny, poignant, sad, sometimes tragic attempts to make connections. 'All the words that I know' is a poem from Bob Stallworthy's book 'From a Call Box'.
