I do, however, enjoy being a story-teller, which is why my works may be read over a campfire on a starry night to the young and young-at-heart."Scott Sigma* * * * * * * * * * * *Mr. Sigma is the author of The Angelicon Anthology–short stories about the angels in our lives.He is also the author of The Cosmodotia Saga–the stories of ten-year-old Susan Shuford's journey into the realm of Cosmodotia to find the truth about her missing parents.Mr. Sigma has also penned three Christian musical dramas: “Alive?

Wicker Glade Parish Church had long-welcomed everyone into their sanctuary. The open invitation to worship included all persons regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, ability, gender or economic circumstance. Since Christ loves everyone, so should the church, was the maxim which bonded their committees, congregation and fellowship. Such a statement adorned the front of their weekly bulletins.

Welcome or not, the unexpected visitor they received during the First Sunday’s service in Lent proved to be a revelation which they could never have imagined would grace the doorway of their holy temple.
A gentleman, approximately twenty years of age some surmised, arrived late to service and opened the central sanctuary door five minutes into Pastor Marge’s sermon. The squeaking of the hinges placed an unrehearsed pause into the minister’s delivery, as the young man, dressed in all black, bent down to remove his sandals. Although he tried to close the wooden door behind him without disturbing the gathered congregation, the hinges sent their shrill cries across the sanctuary a second time. He walked over to the usher desk and took a bulletin for the day’s order of worship.
Pastor Marge noted the young man who had entered the church and interrupted her sermon. Although she did not recognize him, his short-cut brunette hair and thin, trimmed beard made him seem familiar somehow. She paused a moment and
