I started trying to write a long piece complete with reflections on the content of the mass, observations on hypocrisy and the comfort of rote ritual, as well as snarky remarks about incense and stale Jeez-Its, but I just couldn't seem to focus. It's been a hell of a week and I'm terribly afraid that I won't get anything else written, which will really suck for my KHverse series that needs a couple of pieces from this batch of prompts in order to progress the plot. In the last eleven hours, I've only managed to write these hundred words. Guh. Death in the family sucks, even when you know it's coming.
Anyway, probably TMI, so the tl;dr version: thanks so much for reading and commenting, I'm glad you liked it. :)
