I crouched behind one of the grotesque statues and
observed my neighbors at their blasphemous rite. They dancing and gyrations
were obscene, seeming to defy the possibilities available to the human form as
they moved with reckless abandon to the music issuing from the large speakers ringing
the ceremonial cavern.
At the center of it all was a great altar, carved from a
single piece of blood-colored rock. My father had been a geologist, but had
never mentioned such a rock as the one these people were dancing around. Atop
the alien stone was a skull carved from clear crystal.
