Legend
Hallo everybody! I'am Francesco Franceschi, 
the  author  of  the  science-fiction  tale 
"The Meeting"  that  you  are  in order  to 
begin to read  (or that you have  only just 
read). It's a short tale that I wrote years 
ago. I wrote  this tale  for an underground 
magazine,   called  "The Bad Tongue",  that 
I created  with  a friend  of mine,  with a 
good success.  The tale  is very short  and 
strange, but I'm fond of it,  because it is 
one  of my first tales.  I hope you like it 
and  I  hope  also  to  not  hurt  anyone's 
religious beliefs,  as certainly this never 
was my purpose.
Also if some years passed from glorious years '80, I always keep this my science-fiction tale
entitled "The Meeting"  in my mind  and  also today I think it is of fairly good workmanship, 
but obviously the judge concerns at the last the readers.  In last years science-fiction left 
the limbo of poor sister of the so-called  "serious"  literature,  also if since past century 
brilliant writers  used  this literary way  in order  to spread  their thought and their more 
daring ideas.  The scientific world  still does not succeed to  explain in exhausting way the 
masterly intuitions  of forerunners  as  Julius Verne or the prophetic,  also  if terrifying, 
socio-technological forecasts of E. G. Wells. Many other forecasts about our future have been 
and will be foreseen  from the science-fiction writers, following these big forerunners, also 
because  several  world-famous  scientists,  as Clarke or Asimov,  only to mention someone of 
them, have written in the last few decades exceptional "fantastic" stories.  If also only one 
of their  "visions"  in a hundred had  to come true,  we will live really a fantastic future! 
In order  to conclude  this my short speech,  I invite anyone wants  let me know the feelings 
that this my short tale gave rise to him, to write me an e-mail. Under here you can read a my 
short Curriculum Vitae (Resume),  with my private e-mail.  I really  would like  to know your 
judgment,  because  I'm  always  a  lot  interested and curious  to learn  the moods of other 
peoples  in front  of  something I have created,  both  their moods are positive or negative.
