Quetzalcoatl: These Hearts Won't Go On and On

Quetzalcoatl: These Hearts Won't Go On And On

The Aztec feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl was feeling famished.

He was on his goddaughter the Aztec vampire princess Qonzilqointec's ranch in Mexico having just flown in from Havana, Cuba where he had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Pope Francis and Russian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarch Kirill at Jose Marti International Airport.


Quetzalcoatl was now in the barn eating a bunch of fresh human hearts to regain his strength.


The ranch hands had captured a tourist bus and brought the tourists to Quetzalcoatl to rip open their chests and eat their hearts.

The tourist bus capture and the vanished passengers could easily be blamed as an abduction on narco-fighter gang members of the Mexican drug cartels (making the drug thugs good for something in Quetzalcoatl's opinion).


"You deserve a break today at McDonald's," Quetzalcoatl sang cheerfully as he ripped out the heart of a Scottish tourist.


There was a sudden tapping as of someone rapping, gently rapping at the barnyard door.

" 'Tis some visitor," Quetzalcoatl muttered, "tapping at the barnyard door- only this and nothing more."


Quetzalcoatl opened the door and standing there was a pair of young men dressed in white shirts with black ties and black dress pants.


"My friend," one of the young men spoke up as he held in his hands a copy of the Book of Mormon, "have you heard about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and read Another Testament of Jesus Christ- the Book of Mormon?".


Quetzalcoatl stood there at the barn door and said nothing.


As the two young Mormon missionaries stood there and noticed fresh blood dripping down the chin of Quetzalcoatl's gargantuan grotesque serpentine bird like face and then noticed all the bodies and ripped out hearts on the barn floor behind him, both young men simultaneously made the Sherlockian deduction that now was probably not the best time to share the good news about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and Another Testament of Jesus Christ- the Book of Mormon.


The Mormon missionaries leapt on to their respective bicycles and vigourously pedaled off the ranch in the direction of Mexico City.
