Keeping sailors from mad headlands.
Mine is a stellar angel
Leaving danger in my wake.

Rolled up tightly in his trouser fob pocket was an item so tiny and unexpected that it was missed during the first examination.

Staring at up them from the delicately unfurled piece of paper were two words: Tamm Shud. Persian for "It"s over"
