We're on the dusty Avenue of the Dead facing 
the Pyramid of the Moon and somewhere an 
archaeologist apologizes, but the sunlight's 
faded to shadow, flickering flame, the crush of 
dancing shouting bodies; atop the pyramid 
feathered priests flourish a beating heart and 
as the crowd's chanting crescendos a familiar 
black shape eases silently over Cerro Gordo's 
dented crest; the priest drops the heart, the 
crowd's jubilant cries morph into terror as the 
stone city burns, burns, a fleeing warrior 
jostles me and once again I'm looking into 
clear blue eyes and "Scully," I croak, "there's 
definitely an X-File here."
