IN THE NAME OF SIN TWENTY TWO
PANIC SIMON The morning sun was harsh, flashing directly into my eyes. I squinted my eyes as I got up. It was Sunday, a day I would have looked forward to, if he weren’t around. The air smelled different since he arrived. The incense smelled the same, and the choir hymns sounded the same, but something was different. It was him. His presence was like incense, curling into every corner of the room, suffocating me even when he wasn’t there. I walked to the mirror, staring at my reflection. I told myself I wouldn’t let this bother me. The boy he had once cornered was the person I had grown to be. Even tho I wasn’t raised with love, I wasn’t going to let his Presence get to me. I repeated it continuously. I hurriedly freshened up and went down for service. Everybody was present including him. My body betrayed me the moment I saw him. I straightened my collar, forcing my trembling hands to be still.“Are you okay?” One of the altar boys whispered. “You look pale” “I am fine.” I forc

HIDDEN SHADOWS SIMON The air in the rectory was thick. I woke up to the scraping of chairs, and the sisters shouting commands. Maybe something was happening. I freshened up and hurried downstairs to help. The air shifted the moment I walked down. The sisters whispered amongst themselves, wringing their hands and darting their eyes to the heavy doors, which made me know this was more than just a guest. Father Cadwell stood straight, his face tighter than usual. He didn't even acknowledge my presence. I walked away, helping the sisters to sweep the church. I was sweeping the chapel when the heavy door opened, letting in a gush of wind and a voice I dreaded to hear. My heart sank the moment he walked in. “Simon” his voice was deep and smooth. “You’ve grown,” he smirked. The broom slipped out of my hands, and my chest tightened. My heart was beating so violently that I felt the whole cathedral could hear it. I felt bile rising to my throat, and I tried to maintain my usual face.

THE FIRST PRAYER OF HAPPINESS. SIMON I coudn’’t sleep. Not because of fear, but because every time I closed my eyes I was standing there again, his face so close to my eyes that I could feel his breath. I stared at the ceiling, watching as the burning incense smoke covered the air. For once my thoughts were not heavy. They were not about the parish, or the weight that comes with being the miracle boy, or about Father Cadwell and his whips. But about him. Arson grey. Even his name felt dangerous on my tongue. It echoed like a forbidden hymn, yet it was all I could think about. The way he smiled after I gave in, like I handed him the stars. The way he said I love you, like it was the easiest truth. The way he kissed me! God I almost didn’t want to let go.I smiled so much, that my cheeks ached. I pressed my face into the pillow even though no one could see me. I touched my lips, feeling the tingly sensation from the kiss. The way he kissed me. It wasn’t gentle, it made me feel

FORBIDDEN PSALMSARSON The night lost its colour the moment Simon walked back into the rectory. I stood there like an idiot, watching his back fade away. His Scent also faded, except for the ones that clung to my skin. I felt empty. Like he took something away from me, maybe he actually did. I sat under the tree, watching the stars. Maybe he might come back again. But I was wrong. Simon wasn't as reckless as I was. He knew better than anyone to push his luck twice. I turned away, walking back home. God, I was pathetic. For the first time in years, I didn't feel like the Rebellious Arson Grey, the boy who always made headlines in Edavanes’ newspaper. I felt weak. I didn't even know when I admitted that I loved him out loud. But he hadn't said it back. He had kissed me, yes. But he hadn't said it back. Maybe I had ruined it again, maybe I was too hasty. His expression was serious at first, but it softened lightly when I continued. I don’t know what he did, or what he said in h

A KISS IN THE CHAPEL SIMONI shouldn't have come outside. When I heard the sound at my window, my heart raced. I knew who it was without looking. Only one person would be so reckless as to do that. Only one person could come to find me.I didn’t want to open it. I didn’t know how to face him. I wanted to forget about him and his promises. But somehow, my hands found my coat and my trembling legs took me outside. I stared at him, and he looked at me as though I were a miracle. He closed the space between us, giving me a hug that I didn’t realize I needed. “I shouldn’t be here” my tone was flat. I needed it to be. It was the only shield. If I allow myself one minute of softness, I would break. “You’re avoiding my eyes” he muttered. “ I have to” I responded. “You don’t.” He said. I scoffed. “Do you think I can just walk into your arms anytime without consequences?” I said raising my brows. I looked around to see if anyone was looking.“If he found out, or even suspects this, do
IN THE NAME OF SIN SEVENTEEN
THE FALL OF SAINT SIMON ARSON Since the night at Scout's house, I haven’t been able to sleep. I listened to the heavy rain pouring, staring at the ceiling as his face haunted me. The way he snatched his coat and ran off. I should have been angry, I should have been mad. But instead, I felt hollow. I saw his green eyes glistening with tears each time I closed my eyes. The way his hands trembled before he let me in, showing me his scars. I’d touched him for a few seconds and I knew I wasn’t letting go anytime soon. By morning, my head was pounding, my stomach rumbled, and my skin had turned paler. I hadn’t eaten for two days. My dad noticed, asking if I had fallen sick. I just made up an excuse. I couldn’t actually tell him what was going on. I was starving but not for food, for him. Simon Cadwell. Always with his head bowed, that perfect fake smile, his hands folded behind his back, giving out love he never received. He deserves to be loved in any way he wants. He deserves to b
