Welsh werewolf British Labour MP Magog Rhys Petley looked out his apartment window and pondered the letter sent to him a few weeks ago.
It was from the billionaire President of Set Research And Development Corporation- a mysterious individual known only as Set.
Rumour had it that he was a vampire.
At one time Magog Rhys Petley would not have believed in vampires.
But ever since he got turned into a werewolf, his mental horizons had broadened somewhat.
Set was requesting a meeting.
Hm, Magog thought to himself, what would a billionaire want with him a far Left-wing member of the Labour Party caucus in the British Parliament?
He still hadn't made up his mind whether he'd agree to the meeting with this mysterious billionaire.
On the other hand, there was something he had agreed to just today.
His neighbour Constance Elleroy, an eccentric artist, had for years wanted to paint his portrait.
Constance, who often painted using classical themes, had for years pointed out that most statues and paintings of the Greek god Apollo had always painted him as being beardless.
She was going to paint a bearded Apollo.
And she always thought Magog Rhys Petley fit perfectly her idea of what a bearded Apollo should look like.
Finally this morning Magog had given in and agreed to the request.
This afternoon he would be going next door to her apartment/studio to begin the process of posing.
Magog looked at his watch.
Well he supposed he better be heading over there.
He turned off the TV just as BBC News showed Pope Benedict XVI giving his final Apostolic blessing to the City (of Rome) and the World.
Magog Rhys Petley had never thought of himself as a bearded Apollo but he'd give it a shot.
To be continued.
