  • “God! Are you listening? Do you think this is funny?”

    The silent response made rage snake up his spine. Once again, the Lord had abandoned him to a fate worse than death, and he was sick of it. In anger, he picked up Father Allen’s heavy iron cauldron and flung it across the room. “Where are you? Where have you ever been? What have I ever done to you to deserve this?”

    The clatter of the cauldron continued to echo around the empty chamber as it rocked on its side, reminding Léo of just how alone he had always been. “Why did I never dream about being locked in prison? Why did your prophecy never reveal to me that I would be locked away for the rest of…” Tears choked his throat but he sucked in a breath, forcing them away. “For the rest of my God-forsaken life? And that’s what I am. God-forsaken.”
