Supplication and Gratulation

“It is right to give thanks and praise,” the children say in the church. She knows the words from a life long ago: they were said in Latin, and an obedient child gave thanks and praise to her Creator who would protect her, even as her own mother shunned her in His Name.

She trusted. She hoped. She sang a glad song unto the Lord. She had faith.

Now her song is not so glad.

The year is 2004. Dust flies in the alleys of Los Angeles. No one so much as remembers what her name had been in life.
