The Diary of the Centurion
They call me the Centurion, but I don’t think I’m Roman. Most likely, I think, I’m from Northern Africa. That was a very long time ago. I remember a woman. She may have been my mother, or my sister, or an aunt, or even just someone from my village. It must have been a village,…

The required study to adjust the very laws of nature without unforeseen effects demands such an effort as to render it impractical for daily use.
