...We then knelt away the conscious realization of our selves among music in the House of the Lord, I conscious of a voice that, slowly, coarsely, wandered—

I counted two (2) full stops. Wow.

I was intrigued by the title, but it's just a 762 words story about a boy going to church, him describing what he's doing, seeing and who he's meeting in the church, and then him going back home from the church. It's a whole one paragraph, really 🤭

Trash. I know the writer is dead, but it looks like the full-stops in his work are dead, too.

A young boy grasps the true meaning of Christmas while in church deeply moved by the sermon. You discover the wonder of Christmas thru the eyes of a boy who takes in the magical delights of the holiday. In awe of his surrounds and moved by his pastor this very short story is sweet regardless of the time of year.
