Editor’s note:  The most beautifully written and poignant short story I’ve read.  Do not read “A Note on the Text” until the end.  It makes the story only more powerful.

Excerpt:

“…is there any point in being alive without helping one another? Was it possible to carry on through all the years, the decades, through an entire life, without once being brave enough to go against what were there and yet call yourself a Christian, and face yourself in the mirror”?
