I finally picked out my bag of chips-barbecue, tasty, and
easily beatable by mint. That settled, I reached in my back pocket
for my cell phone to let Spoony know I was on my way. Darn. Left it
in my ROTC uniform. So I set my duffel bag on the floor, squatted
down to unzip it, the bag of chips tucked under my arm. At the
moment the duffel was open, the lady with the beer stepped
backward, accidentally bumping me, knocking me off balance.
Actually, she didn't really bump me. She tripped over me. I thrust
one hand down on the floor to save myself from a nasty face-plant,
sending the bag of chips up the aisle, while she toppled over, slowly,
trying to catch her balance, but failing and falling half on me and
half on the floor. The bottle she was holding shattered, sudsy beer
splattering everywhere.

At first i was afraid to approach him—then the fear left me. he was sitting looking out over the city—he was dressed in the clothes of the gods. his age was neither young nor old—i could not tell his age. but there was wisdom in his face and great sadness. you could see that he would have not run away. he had sat at his window, watching his city die—then he himself had died. but it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit—and you could see from the face that his spirit had not been lost. i knew, that, if i touched him, he would fall into dust—and yet, there was something unconquered in the face. how does the conflict at the beginning of the paragraph move the plot forward? the narrator realizes that he is scared of the gods. the narrator realizes that he distrusts the spirits the narrator realizes that the god was a man. the narrator realizes that he is powerful like the gods.
