    About this ebook

    A short story about Pete and Alex. Two very private people who have a special interest in old chapels, where they stage some very unusual performances. Together they are all-powerful and enjoy doing things that lesser people would think of as cruel, wrong or just pain evil. But today they will discover that actions have repercussions, and that they are about to have their worst day ever
