Title: Sacrifice, I


   THIS SUCKS! How did I get myself into this mess? Well, let’s see here…. I decided to go on a trip with my archeological class. Then we came to South America. We visited temples and pyramids…and of course, human sacrificing-tribes! Why me? Why? What in the WORLD did I do! I just wanted to go on a trip with friends and go home and just have fun, but noooo. I had to be chosen to be sacrificed to this weird god of this tribe.
   I can’t believe I was the only virgin in a twenty mile radius. That just left me, a visited who suspected nothing. All my friends are dead and the only thing I’m worried about now is getting out of here. Where is here? Here is a temple which I am currently chained up in. They, the leaders of the tribe, chained me here after they fit me into very scandalous tribal clothes. Also they nearly drowned me in pungent smelling oil which was very uncomfortable.
   I was laid out on a table naked for all to see. I looked down the stone steps and I see who must be the High Priest. There are two other men by his side, both of them carrying clubs. Those are more than likely the weapons chosen to kill, no sacrifice, me with. I shut my eyes tight and turn my head. I just can’t bear to watch. While I wait my death I say my last prayer. 
   “Dear Goddess. I wish you to take me into your bosom and save my torn soul. Keep my heart pure in my last dire moment. Oh, my one God. May you smite these men and women for killing your sons and daughters. Please reincarnate me and make me one in my magical body.” One solitary tear slid down my cheek.
   They killed me.
