EXCERPT: ... sermon stretched on... Carol glanced... at the cloth [she was sitting on]. Did it move?... kept looking... moved again!... evil-looking pinchers ripped a piece out... a neat round hole in the cloth... termites in the mud pew had sensed the cloth and determined it was good eating... were starting to devour the cloth. That was bad enough... [But what if?]
EXCERPT: ... brick building... grass roof... preaching... Adam, Eve... sin... boy sitting leaning against... pole holding up the roof, asleep... woke up... his eyes... on the rafters, realized something was moving up in the grass. "Nzoka"... congregation looked, saw and started rushing out. The startled snake lost its grip in the grass and plopped to the floor.
