It started with another "all the sudden," and the man seemed quite foreign in those present surroundings. He'd had enough to drink to own the place by then, but his goal wasn't even small business, so that was right out there; right out there with a flock of sheep and the souvenir she'd picked to prove that the world was once here.
"Step right up and out of the way for a stunning display of mass disintegration." ...and oh what a stunning display it was. I was hardly a practiced human being of thirteen years when I'd heard the glorious voice of this sculptor of fascination. Mind you time had stopped for the benefit of my understanding. And the sound of frozen space; far more superior than anything once imaginable.
And they'd preached of gods and kings; ha! They'd once told tales of evolution; ha! This was no fable as paralleled to these crude visions. This was the whore of decapitation, though evidence with head to begin with was as rare as any guilt-bleached confidence man in drag. The words which could squeeze between his lips had so far been nothing but the experience of dreams, and this was his time to speak. Damned if I was the only one who could listen.
Three, two, one; horror. Immense torture; the combination in the bank of truth. History had been figures in my shoe box, and I thought I'd enjoyed the quiz shows on my radio. The greatest treatment for the modern brain was being bathed in beautiful nonsense. As he peeled the daguerreotypes and filters from my eyes, I'd gathered that this man was a dying one, (the packaged breed, spent in his next fall to rest). Somehow I'd survived lesson one in hundreds counting. This came as no surprise to him; he knew exactly who he had chosen.
