A short extract from the story Go Home:
The priest began his sermon thus:
Go home
Go home
Go home
And he went on:
“Forgive. Forgive them and go back home. If you are a father or a mother forgive so your child should return home. If you are a child and peeve and upset with your father and mother, forgive them and return home. Go back home.”
