In Session, The First
Chaos. Disorder. Confusion. These are things I enjoy. I don’t just do them because that’s my lot in life. It happens naturally, and they look at me as if I’m a monster.

“Much, thank you,” I replied. I walked over and knelt by her right leg. “Spread your feet.” Muttering under her breath, she parted her legs slightly. “A little more.”
Then a second dog slowly plods its way into the room, limping on its right paw. It’s a black and white border collie with a shiny coat and wolf-like eyes.
“Who is this man? What did he mean by ‘sacrifice’? Is he going to kill my daughter in some freaky ritual you people do?”
He put his hand on top of mine and gently squeezed. “He’s still alive, little one, don’t fret.”
“She blasted the windows open and out the window she flew. She’s been trying to smite people all over the city.” “Apparently, she was successful at least one time.”
I turned around to look through the wood bucket again when I felt something stab me in the back of my right arm. With my left hand, I reached around and felt a knife.
Another sacrifice is required; we came here to get it. While you have been down here with me, the mission was completed inside the mirrored mountain.
She poked me in the chest. “You will be there, or I will send Dad to get you to make sure you go. Or better yet, I’ll send Mother.”
Placing my hand gently on my guardian’s back, I could feel him shaking. “Don’t be afraid,” I told him. “I won’t let anything happen to you while I’m here.”
I hung there struggling, screaming myself hoarse, praying one of the gods hear me. Praying that this was not the cycle of my existence.
“If she gets her hands on that flying monstrosity, there will be smite and runs all over the city.”
My father’s eyebrows shoot up at the statement. “Why do I feel your grandfather is somehow involved in that decision?”
“You could have been killed just as easily as I that day. I’ve had many men risk their lives for me, but I’ve never had anyone do what you did.”
Today is Veterans’ Day, and these flowers are worn by people to remember all those that have fought in the world wars across the globe.
