Lightning streaked the sky.
Randy woke as the thunder crashed to find himself strapped to the cold concrete of the mausoleum. He wished he could rub his aching back. Or just stretch, but rough rope cut into both wrist and ankle. A scream squeaked past strained vocal chords and trembling lips.
The gathered didn’t notice his struggles, their glazed eyes stared into the distance from within deep hoods.
Eyes he knew. These people bought his goats.
A smiling, dagger toting man approached the mausoleum.
“Wait! I’ll give you a goat. A freebie.”
“Goat?” He smiled. “Tonight, you are the goat.”

What did the poor bugger do to end up being the goat?

Well I suppose that some sacrifices require a little more than a goat. And Randy had proved his proficiency at supplying sacrifices, so…

But still… that makes him the next sacrifice?

Lol, I know right! Plus, they’re eliminating their future goat source. Maybe they were just in a pinch.

These things always escalate… but usually it would go from goats to dogs and horses before they go for humans…

Maybe Randy stumbled on some impatient cultist. Seems like they’ve cut a few corners!
