There was a man who was newly in charge of preparations for the Meeting between the elders and the people. This was always the most important Meeting of the year, of it the Agreement would come. It was when the people could tell the elders they needed and when the elders could tell the people they would provide. It was a great tradition. Not only did it serve useful as a means for making sure both would be happy and secure for the time to come, but also as a ritual to bring the sides together and show they were different but one. Much was to be ready for the circumstance and celebration. The preparation man who was newly in charge was very much aware of this, having been witness to other men who were in charge of this doing. Now it was his turn and he should make it better than it ever was. He had an amount of time and he set forth to make use of it. He thought of the many options of how it could be done.

He researched all the preparations from Meetings before. He at whole became familiar and intimate with that all had ever been done for the preparations of every Meeting which at every historically took place. He scoured every document and record of the preparations that had been heretofore accepted with heart and beloved by sentient and conversly those that were shunned by scandal and repaired by shame.

This was indeed going to be the most magnificent Meeting that has ever to the world occured, thought the preparation man and he made his way to the place where the Meeting was to occur.

When he arrived he crumbled to the ground, crushed under the weight of what he rendered and what he bore. The Meeting was over. Since there were seemingly no preparations, there was confusions, since there was confusions, there was no harmony, no ritual, no Agreement. The peoples were scattered randomly on the field, cross at each other's throat, showing a broughten harm that threatened and ended. There were to be no more Meetings, no more Agreements. The congruity was finished. Multitudes of men were shown no preparations. They fell upon each other. It was over.

The preparation man was the only one left. He looked upon the end.

The preparation man knew they had to be buried. His mind went at once to work on how it should be done. He thought of the many options of how.....
