It all started out as a game. Just a way to have fun. We figured as long as we had rules, it wouldn't be a problem. RULE #1: Only break into one another's houses. RULE #2: Only take stuff that can be replaced. It worked for a while. Whoever's turn it was to break in got a rush, and the rest of us laughed over the trophies they brought back. But then someone went too far. Lives got ruined. Someone is dead. And I might be next.

"But, gentlemen," said the Physician, "I really don't think we can consider any religion which has human sacrifice as an integral part as a humane religion."
