The Preacher and the Private
After a lengthy period of contemplation and meditation, Father Sebastian Morte had decided that everything was the damn book’s fault.
He broke into a coughing fit as another cloud of waxy yellow dust was thrown into the air by the impact of a nearby shell and looked down at the shiny red splatter that had materialised on his chest. He raised an already slick hand and wiped his mouth clean; taking a moment to marvel at the mustard constellations forming on his hand as the dust gently obeyed the laws of gravity.
