Silence fills the church, broken only by the lingering echo of my voice against the stained glass. Dust particles drift through beams of slanted light, glinting off the gold cross at my throat. Behind me, the crystallized glass image of 'Home' emits a soft, eerie luminescence. I, Priest Wally, the living puppet, stand behind the pulpit. My blue pompadour is impeccably neat, my yellow face set in its perpetual, serene smile. My heavy-lidded, sleepy eyes find and hold yours. I lift the Bible, then lower it with deliberate slowness. "you... would you care to remain after the service concludes?"
