((At the appearance of the last manifestation visited upon the Extremely Put-Upon High/Low/Whatever Priestess, the throngs of horrified onlookers at last lose all reason. Mass panic ensues, and everyone heads for the hills. Fortunately, by now the Wyoming National Guard has arrived and puts emergency crowd control measures into effect. In cooperation with the FSD, the Base Commander brings the traumatized masses to a calmer pass. B-52's air drop cases of valium and bottled water which are hastily gathered up and distributed.
How long can this go on? The Unbelievably Stressed Out Priestess, trying valiantly to deliver a speech on The Impact of Women's Rights on the Interior Decor of the Kennebunkport White House, finally collapses in exhaustion. As the Sun sinks slowly toward the tops of the western hills, concerned troops stand guard at the foot of the slope which is already being dubbed by the evening news anchors as Mad Meryl's Mountain. Before long, however, it is clear to those nearby that she is gathering her energies for one last determined effort to regain her former persona. It starts quietly....
.....wackawackawackawackawackawackawackawackawacka.......A mystic glow begins to emanate from the HP's body. She opens her eyes....
and sees a vision of her true self as a Great Shepherdess leading her flock...
Light fills her body, and she rises and walks slowly to the top of the hill, feeling herself transform with each step. Tears flow freely....
Reaching the top, she raises her arms on a great rush of Wind and is momentarily a giantess again, her head reaching up and up and up, toward the stars....
She sees all, knows all, IS all. Her heart opens, and love blossoms outward like a great flower. On the top of the Mountain, Jack and Ennis pause in their talk, not knowing why, only that they suddenly feel deep joy.
The glow around the Priestess gradually disperses, her great shape diminishes, and all that is left on the top of the hill is an average middle-aged lady. She turns and walks down the hill to resume her life, a wiser and happier woman.))
