(D.E.Winter, extract p. 304-305)

So we're all standing up and the priest is saying this prayer and I know this

prayer and all the people are saying it with him, they're saying:

Our father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name

And I'm easing my way over to the aisle.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven

And I'm walking to the aisle.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses

And that's when I trespass, and I need forgiveness.

As we forgive those who trespass against us

Because I just can't seem to forgive.

And lead us not into temptation

So I'm not walking away.

But deliver us from evil

I'm walking the other way, the only way that's left to me. I'm walking down the aisle, I'm walking toward the priest, I'm walking toward the altar, and everything seems to go silent but the voice in my head, the voice keep going, and I think, I really think, it's my mother's voice, and I'm almost to the altar, I'm between the groomsmen and the bridesmaid, and that's when I pull the Glock from my belt; I pull the Glock and I turn on the CK and I point the Glock at him and he's about twenty feet behind me and he raises the Magnum in his fist and points the Magnum at me and there's this strange silence, the priest has stopped talking and there's silence, just silence, just silence until I say, along with my mother, I say: Amen.
