Er... no offense intended, but actually, you don't seem to have remembered the Aztec gods yourself as clearly as you thought you did. Quetzalcoatl wasn't a rain god. Quetzalcoatl was a god of wind, and of knowledge, among other things; he had nothing to do with rain at all. The Aztec rain god was Tlaloc.

Not that it particularly matters to your story, since the god was never mentioned by name, but... eh, just thought I'd bring it up.

I value his opinion I just didnt like how the work looked when it traced a longer period of time (in the bi-weekly notes style) so i compacted it. Changing the dates to represent a longer timespan however does lend some verisimilitude.


Your...human jaw sig...it's hard to not just watch it.
So...look away...

The concept that murder isnt something you can dabble in is very old. MacBeth explores it in depth even. If you kill someone in liturature, eventually you need to kill again to resolve the problem, or kill again to silence a witness.

Realisticly a human in desperation is more and more willing as time goes on to accept extreme measures as neccisary. Once the first step is taken the Sunk-Cost-Fallacy can keep them locked into a course of action.
If one can accept the farmers diary as factual and the sacrifices to Quetzalcoatl really are bringing the rain we can see how he might fall into the trap of deciding he needs to keep killing.
