One day, just as the sun was setting, a priest took his sister up to the altar to show off his priestly status, even though he had never had a true divine encounter. When she reached the top a cloud emerged, as if in response to her presence, and struck the altar with the force of the divine will. The priest was knocked back by the explosive force of creation, already unsteadied by his impiety. His sister, feeling the rush of a yet unsatisfied hunger, stood in the luxurious heat of that presence she knew belonged to her alone.
