It is true that I seemed dull and insignificant next to her, but we really were in love. “You know what they say: a beautiful woman brings trouble into the house…”
I waved my hand carelessly. She was just taking a dangerous curve when, all of a sudden, came to me the idea to kiss her. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. With money, it seems easy to accomplish anything. I wanted to go to her. It was terribly unfair… and sometimes I would blame myself because so little had to change then so that she could still be alive now. Then, as newer gods appeared and the belief in the older gods disappeared, their powers would disappear as well as their capacity to manifest themselves in the world. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. I did not know what else to do. I took another pill from the bottle and thought again of Diana before sinking into the thick mist of the brutal sleep induced by the sleeping pill. At the time I had pronounced the word goddess I knew I thought of her.
