Micheletto p.o.v.
As I entered the rectory discreetly like some thief, I'd been thinking that whether I should use this sleeping herb or should I talk to him first. I was thinking, Father might be reading the bible, or chanting his night prayers, or eating...even sleeping but never in my mind, I could think of this, could think of seeing my strong father kneel on the floor with his back filled with deep wounds, blood gushing out from his body like a river flowing from the mountain, his flesh ripped apart from his bones, but still, that harsh whip was slapping against his back, he wasn't stopping, he wasn't flinching and whipping himself as a man possessed, over and over again like he was punishing his body for a thing he couldn't even understand himself!
