NOTE: If you're interested in this sort of

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."
