Pontifex Maximus

by Jon White

My story:

"Lord Pontifex! Lord Pontifex!" he awoke to find his personal severitor tring to wake him up. "Lord Pontifex," he said "the great parade is today!" "It is!?" said Pontifex Maximus "I can't belive i forgot about it!" Huridly Pontifex Maximus put on his  power armor and his computer pack, that all techs wear, connected himself to it and slip on the custamary robe. He could see out his apartment window the Martian sunblazing down and the people gathering in the streets. He thought to himself "This day will be a glorious one." As he headed down the stairs to the street he saw a darken clad figure and thought that it was odd he was not out in the streets for the parade. When  he got outside he noticed that there was a huge amout of people about, it  must  have been the whole city! He also saw that the Manufactuer of Mars himself was there on a stage area! Well what a fine parade this'll be he thought.

Soon he saw new and great things for the furture because this was a parade for new ideas. All the day he watched the parade and heard the speachs made by the Manufactuer of Mars and other esteemed people. As he watched he saw somethings that gave him a feeling of dred. The feeling was that if these new this came out surily they would have to change the very laws of the universe and the many books of law that the finest scribes of the Imperium had written over many years. After the parade Pontifex Maximus went over to the stage to ask about this. The Manufatuer of Mars told him not to worry nothing would change at all. With relief he started walking up the stairs to his apartment when he saw the same darken clad figure. "Hail, Pontifex Maximus!" he said. Pontifex Maximus was confused and said "Do I know you?", just then the figure removed his hood to revel that he was in fact Jervis! "You are dreaming Pontifex." Ponitfex began to screem but awoke to find that he was still siting whistling in the dark. And so ends my tale of horror and stupidity of one gaming company.

"Non sum pisces!"
