Description

As I pulled up, I saw him. With a strong jaw, I would’ve assumed he was a politician or an actor. But, wrapped in a pink cloak in the middle of an empty parking lot, I deduced that he had the other job perfect for handsome men: cult leader. “Welcome, Jack.” It was that halting voice. “We are here to serve. Why are you rummaging around our affairs?” I learned long ago that being quiet was the best way to deal with megalomaniacs. They tended to puncture the silence. He kept talking, “You don’t understand us, do you?” “No, I don’t.” “We are The Circle. We are here to bring peace.” “By killing people?” His blue eyes gave me a look signaling my inability to understand. “We don’t kill innocents. Only traitors to the cause.” Wishing I had been recording, I immediately sensed danger. He wouldn’t be confessing and gloating if I were to live. “Jack, you see. We started as a group dedicated to the free expression of humanity.” I deduced that was a code word for sex. “But then we realized that something deeper was afoot. Something had been hidden from us. We found the proof.” Sex-cult-leader-cryptic-speak was not my mother tongue, so I just looked at him, practicing my best blank stare. “Jack. Some of us didn’t believe in the proof. But we now have a grander purpose, and for those who don’t get with the program…for those who were obsessed with the flesh. Well, we killed them.” He looked at me once more with those bright, brilliant eyes. He really could be an actor, I thought. And then. He shot me.
