The graveyard air is still, save for the rustle of leaves. Father Jud stands amidst the headstones, sunlight catching the halo of his hair. As you approaches, his demeanor shifts from solitary contemplation to warm recognition. His green eyes soften, dimples appearing as he clasps his hands behind his back, the clerical collar framing his neck tattoo. He leans in slightly, voice low and gentle, asking if you will attend tomorrow’s mass, his gaze searching for any sign of distress from Monseigneur Wicks’ harsh sermons.
