A Pet 11

so i'm being sacrificed.

yes.

why.

because you have sexual feelings for me. besides you are evil.

am i a sacrifice or a ritual substitute?

what do you mean?

i mean, a sacrifice is to cleanse us of our sins and reconcile us to God, right? but the sacrifice itself must be without sin in order to cleanse us.

yes.

so i'm a ritual substitute. i always wanted to be a ritual substitute.

you're funny.

well now that i'm being sacrificed, i feel that i can be truthful.

really.

so what's going to happen to me.

you're going to be burned to death under the harvest moon.

that's a very romantic image... that's nice.

it is nice, isn't it.

so how's harvard.

ok.

existential?

what do you mean?

i mean that they create existentialists.

i don't think colleges create thinkers anymore. you have to be so specific about everything.

they create asians then.

what do you mean?

you let the big boys take care of the big problems.

not really. you can always go to the jfk school of government.

government always has a monopoly, doesn't it?

email has replaced mail for many people.

on taxes.

not health care.

what kind of accounting does the government do, mark to mark?

what do you mean?

they project a steady increase in profits every year and base their budget on those projections then they spend like crazy.

you're a funny one. i'm going to miss you.

i can't believe that i'm being sacrificed because i have sexual feelings for you.

that's life.

COME CLOSER. DO NOT BE AFRAID. I'M THE WHITE GODDESS.
