  1. City Of The Dead & YernoBy: Charlie Vazquez Kenneth Dortche & Jesse Drinks

  2. City of the Dead Quotes • "The strange man began humming a spellbinding melody. He took off his banded straw hat, fanned his face five or six times with it, and rested it on his knee. He was sweating (I could see a sheen in the dark) and his smile, the little I could see of it, was one of eerie mischief." • "He smelled of sweat and vanilla—a mysterious haze of smoky aromas arrived with him; colors perceived with the sense of scent. My head filled manically with the aromas—my newly awakened nose afire with the deep musk and flowers that surrounded me. The bitter odors turned sweet—from dark to light and vice versa—the sweeter ones to sweetness beyond description. The odors sedated me and I began to swim pleasantly in my powerlessness."

  3. Discussion Question • The narrator doesn’t seem comfortable with the strange man at first but is intrigued by him. What are your thoughts on this encounter? Was this an arranged meeting? If not what was the narrator there for?

  4. “Putting his lips onto mine, he blew air into and through me. This caused the candles around us to conflagrate, their flames grew by threefold and that was when I realized we were standing in the center of an abandoned and half-destroyed church—its gothic windows pale in the fire glow, sections of stone missing from the wide vaults of the ceiling. I coughed my way back to life, as my heart began to beat on its own. It was then that he whispered, “I now give you the power to pay tribute to me always—and forevermore.””

  5. More Questions • Who do you think Jesus is? • At the end of the story it is revealed that they are at an old church. What is the significance of them being at a church? • What do you think of the title “City Of The Dead”?

  6. Yerno Quotes • “Though there was bitterness about you I basked in your superior sweetness...fantasy you were becoming.” • “How funny is it that I was going to kill you before you can do so to me...and for what."

  7. Discussion Question • Discussion question: why do you think it was so easy for Carlos still follow Yermo's demands even though he feared the situation?
