The Cleanse

The girl stood before the old man, waiting to be rid of her sins. She tapped her foot impatiently, Why must this take forever? The man currently being cleansed had been there forever.

The old man had his hands placed on either side of the younger mans head and was mumbling incoherently.

She was starting to think it was a waste of time when the man shouted with joy and skipped out of the church. She stared at him, rolling her eyes.

He waved and blew a kiss in her direction, she scoffed, crossed her arms, and walked in front of the old man. "Get on with it then." she said gritting her teeth. The old man stared at her.

She waited for a couple of minutes and then yelled; "Go on, then!!!" The old man placed his hands on her temples. The girl huffed. Suddenly her mind went blank.

The next thing she knew she was sitting on a cot not remembering anything.
