Night Flyer

Sacred Heart priest enjoying Satan’s playground.


Thousands of copies were sold, the feature story being Father Michael and his nightly jaunts into the city without his cleric’s collar. It caused scandal to break out all over the city when picture after picture were splashed all over the tabloids, the media making sure they were taken in such a way to make him look guilty.


This hit Deuce hard. He tried to hold on, to carry on as usual, but one day he noticed that the faces of his usual congregation had slowly turned to strangers. Even the atmosphere of the church had changed. It seemed cold, unfeeling, aloof, even frosty, and Deuce knew that his ministry was over. He’d never live this down, and maybe he shouldn’t even try since he was no longer holding services for his parishioners, but for curiosity seekers. Those who wanted to get a look at the scandalous priest who Gossipsaid loved sin more than God.
