The Last of the Hypocrites : ZAPFIC50 | Based on 5 Minute Freewrite (Day 1792) | Prompt: the good preacher

ZaPFICWeekend50WordsImage.jpg

This microfiction story was developed for the prompt "the good preacher". It reminds me of the numerous stories my father would tell me about the church and why he distrusted those in charge. I always felt my father had no tolerance for those who operated in two different arenas, thereby leading duplicate lives. As an adult, I understood his point of view. However, I also came to realize some of the complexities of life and relationships. I attempt this ZAPFIC50 story that's told in exactly 50 words with these thoughts in mind. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.

Here is my story.

Mr. Donnelly stood in the shadows. The door behind the peephole masked his desires.

Operating between dark and daylight, he felt exhilarated; in control.

His family, friends, and congregation admired his longstanding community service.

Pressured to condemn others, how could he now divulge the secret that haunted him for decades.
