David: Your Guess Is As Good As Mine

The moon moved to eclipse the sun at noon on the day of the summer solstice. A red goat with two heads had been born a week ago, bleated the secret name of God, and died. The planets were in alignment, and the stars were right.

Two figures faced each other across an altar set in the middle of a great salt flat, observing the cosmic ballet.

“It is time,” one intoned.

“As we foresaw,” replied the other.

“Our fates are pre-ordained.”

“So it is said.”

“Are you afraid?”

“I am at peace. And glad to have seen you again.”
