I was a complete cunt to you all. I tried so hard to ruin your freshman year." I don't hold grudges," I said. "And I'm not sure you deserve the name a...ymore. You aren't exactly acting high and mighty like you did then." You're going to have me executed aren't you? I'm not flashy that Aine or as loving as the rest of your ladies. You'll decide I'm not worth the time and throw me away," Constance insisted.I put my arms around her. Constance buried her tear filled face into my chest. "Constance,". However, there were a lot of limits on what a teenager could do,not to mention the ever present specter of New Years in the future. And that led to where I was at the moment. It was New Years Evenand I was a 17 year old boy with a bit of an acne problem, and a coupleof parents in the next room. But not for long. There were only a fewseconds left until... Suddenly, the dizziness hit me... the wave of darkness and thebottom of reality dropping out from beneath me. It was what I had. There the people had torn down their pyramids, stone by stone.King Xyl had left the pyramids, as monuments to their gods, but had killed the priests of those gods and ended the sacrifices to them.He reached down and pried another stone loose and carried it in his other hand as he descended the pyramid. A day and a half later he tossed them into the lake at the pyramid's foot. Then he resolutely turned his face northwards. If the king was there, the king who'd stopped the sacrifices, why, he'd. I pulled off the highway and into the Walmart parking lot just as the street lights were going on. I parked the car and opened the door swung my legs out and again my heels hit the pavement with that little click that is unmistakable. This time I remembered to grab my purse and started walking to the entrance. Now it was 9:15 pm or so on a Saturday night and I thought, the store should be fairly empty, but as the parking lot showed it wasn't as slow as I had hoped. I was thinking, do I still go.
