[WP] A man enters a confession booth and confesses horrible things to the priest | I sat on the wooden bench, anxiously awaiting the priest to enter.
*I can't go through with this*, I thought to myself. Just as I was about to leave, I heard the opening of the door. The creak of the old, wooden bench in this dilapidated church rang throughout the booth.

[WP] A man enters a confession booth and confesses horrible things to the priest | "I did my first job in Chicago," I said quietly. The shadow on the other side of the screen didn't move. Something in me wanted to shock him, to make him realize what kind of person I really was. "I took a razor to his eye."
"Go on, my son," the priest said, almost sounding bored. That couldn't be right.

[WP] A man enters a confession booth and confesses horrible things to the priest | “Father, forgive me, for I have sinned.” I said, staring nervously at the mesh frame obscuring the priest.

[WP] A man enters a confession booth and confesses horrible things to the priest | Violent rain laid sheets of water on the already weather-beaten facade of St. Francis de Sales.

[WP] In a new intelligent and prosperous society, men and women covet factual knowledge, and learning has become the new pastime. Fiction, fantasy and sci-fi literature/cinematography have been banned, as they distract us from bettering ourselves as a race. | I would say it was a Catch-22, if the mere thought of that book was not banned. They said that banning science fiction would promote real science, but it only destroyed our motivation to do the same. Of course, the solution to this new problem of motivation is to ban philosophical works. That ought to fix it. | 0 | 0 | 4 | 27,391 |
