upside down
In slow motion
afraid of what
he was about
to witness, Langdon
rotated the fax
180 degrees. He
looked at the word
light a long time
Stunned, Langdon
collapsed in a chair
He sat a moment in
utter bewilderment
Gradually, his eyes
were drawn to the
blinking red light
on his fax machine
Whoever had sent this
fax was still on the
line waiting
to talk. Langdon
gazed at the blinking
He felt like a paleontologist
Langdons eyes
were locked on
the brand. Illuminati
he read over and over
His work had always
been based on the
symbolic equivalent
of fossils
documents and historical
hearsay but this image
before him was
today. Present tense
