This is the first two chapters of a story I am trying to write.This is the first two chapters of a story I am trying to write. It contains some way sacreligious (esp. to catholics) material, some sex, and some violence. If these things bother you, please hit 'n' now. Please email comments, since I don't read all the groups I posted to regularly. All comments, questions, and especially suggestions are welcome. Do anything you want with this as long as my name stays on it. More to come, probably after Xmas. Thank you. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ Chapter One. "Amen." Laura stepped out of the confessional, into the dimly lit chapel. Sunlight showed weakly through the high stained glass windows, adding its illumination to that of the candles. She was a tall woman, able to look over the heads of many of the men she knew. Not that she really knew many men. She thought of herself as ugly, gawky, too pale, too skinny, and many other things. About the only thing she liked about herself was her faith in God. In truth she was anything but ugly. She had the statuesque beauty of a goddess, but it was well hidden. She didn't style her hair in any flattering fashion, she wore no make up, and she dressed in only the drabbest of outfits. |
