Rory stood on the east side of the Temple Mount. A large golden statue of Carlo Simpato had just been unveiled. As he scratched the two sores on his body, Rory noticed a young woman now standing next to him. Rory also noticed that she was not scratching herself.

" Hello Rory".

Rory stared at the young woman. " Do I know you?".

" My name is Edith". She smiled. " I was in your mother's bible study group".

Rory looked perplexed. " I thought all of those ladies went under the blade".

" God had an assignment for me".

" And what is that assignment?".

The young woman frowned. " To warn you".

" Edith, I cannot believe in a God I cannot see". Rory looked up  and frowned. " A God who has caused me nothing but pain my entire life".

" Rory, God simply loves you". She grinned. " Give him a chance".

" Edith, you better leave before I turn you in".

Edith smiled. She quietly left.

Rory scratched his sores while he watched thousands of people getting into the loyalty application lines.
