It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. –Voltaire
Dangerously Right
As I sit before this microphone I often wonder what it would be like not to be Virgil Vox. Not to hide this secret of mine from those I know and love, or loved. To walk around freely, or as freely one can walk on this hellhole, in the marketplace or bar. Not having to look over my shoulder at every armed person I pass, or figure out escape routes. But looking at that plaque nailed above me stops those thoughts from going farther.
"You have nothing to fear but fear itself," it reads sternly. That saying has become sort of a motto for us Virgils to live by. Ever since that thing was nailed up there it has watched over countless Virgils. I still am in awe over how many Virgil Voxs there have been since,well since long as anyone can remember. I guess you can say where the last voice of freedom in this place. And that's something I'm proud to be right about where being against authority can have you killed. And you know something I love being Virgil Vox, dispenser of songs and wisdom.
