    Summary

    The time has come. The youth has breathed mature life into the village. With each passing dusk, the ache to satisfy sits heavy in my lungs. I cannot deny Him any longer.

    The skin of the ground rises and welts, splitting open to reveal the end. The end of the misery. The end of the sickness. The end of the labyrinth. The door has opened, showing me the cure. Just within my reach, He waits for me. To be The One. To bring us back to revelations. Something resembling peace.

    Until next year, of course.

    Once a year, the village priest takes a lamb to slaughter.
