Dragons were gone. Faded to memory. Everyone knew that. The great beasts who had command of the skies, who fed on raiding thugs and the beasts of the field alike, who shielded the race of men from the vicious, twisting thread that fell from the sky. The last queen passed hundreds of years ago. The hills of the Mojave hold the last of her clutch, in the great bowl of a dead volcano. Every now and then someone climbs that rock, into the weyr's bowl and counts them. There was no choice. Men had to invent suits of steel, great machines that pumped flame onto the writhing masses of thread. Magic, curiously, has not died. The Seer's Guild always said that magic was the shadow of the dragons over the earth... ----- "Morning, Shockers. Leslie Willis here, bringing you the dirt." "See, what I'm pissed about is with that plane in the river, we're gonna get some [bleeps] movie. Everybody lived? Couldn't some fat [bleep] have the decency to have a [bleep] heart attack? Now we got Tom Hanks in Miracle of Flight 237. [bleep]horse[bleep]." "Hi, caller, you're on the air." "Hi, Leslie. Longtime listener, first-time caller. So, did anyone else see that dragon catch the plane?"
