Storm Kissed
“Despite a year′s worth of practice, he still spent the first ten minutes or so sitting there cross-legged, staring at the small chac-mool altar he’d set up in the spare room of his suite, breathing incense . . . and going through a mental litany of “this is stupid,” “how long do I have to sit here?” and “great, now I need to pee.” Even after that, he usually had a hard time turning off the chatter on a good day. And today wasn’t all that good.
