... “In the name of the father, the son and the holy ghost. Amen.”
“Amen.” The congregation said together. Katrina remained seated in her usual spot, somewhere around the middle. Father Garibaldi had done a great service as per usual.
Members of the congregation socialised for a short while before slowly filtering off and heading home. The reverend had been busy packing his things while the local church know it alls played their usual game of Who is last to leave.
Katrina had sat down in her pew 10 minutes ago, pretending to pray so she did not have to interact with them.
It was not that she hated them... ok maybe she had a dislike for them. The I’m more holier than thou routine got boring very quickly. But hell, they were worshipping god as they should do, however those women pretended to be perfect. It wasn’t perfection that she hated, it was that she knew it to be an act. Even other members of the congregation would groan when they saw one of them walking towards them. These women were usually assholes with it and that’s what Katrina hated.
She heard the church doors close and looked up, they had finally left. Next time she attended an evening service she would be getting a look of death from them. Not that she cared.
Katrina sat in the pew, waiting for the good father to finish packing up and clearing up. Usually her remaining behind meant she wanted to talk. They had some fairly good discussions over the past few months although tonight was the first time she really needed his help.
