Work was a drone of a day which he was quite content on actually leaving for once since he was bored. There was nothing to do also no one to help so he shut down he shop early and went for a walk. Since it was nearly sun down he knew there was not many things to do at home other then watch television. Such a waste of time he thought so he shunned away the thought of that and thought to do something else. Putting away his reading glasses into his office desk he grabbed his suit jacket then head out. Locking up the shop to make sure that no one was going to break in. Though who would want to break into a electronics repair shop, he was not sure, but could be possible. Some people were so unpredictable now a days so he was being safe of course, logical enough. Once he was all locked up he shoved his keys into his pockets.

A small sniffle came from him since he was kind of sick with a cold because of all the cold, which sucks to be him. But he would survive, he was nearly better just had a stuffy nose. Wrapping his coat around him since it was a little nippy cold outside and at the same time thinking where to go. Finally the bells just hit him, where else would be go, the same thing he always did in his lone life. His eyes looked down at his wedding ring which still fit him and he sighed deeply. Hard to let go? Yes it was so hard to let go which he just hasn't want to let go for a long time. He wasn't really sure how to do it so he just didn't even bother at all to go out really other then home, work and church. Sometimes he would go to dinner but it would be a rare occasion for he liked to be home alone.

Watch some pointless television then fall asleep just so the whole thing can happen all over again. Such a boring life, he needed to do more things but hell he did not want to do it. No didn't own a car at all so he walked all the way to the Notre Dame de la Garde on foot but it was not far from his work. He can hear the bells go off every now and then which was quite enjoyable when he was not in a good mood. Always seemed to lift his spirits like they were now, he can hear them going off at the 5pm mark. With a small smile on his face he was happy to head right to the church. He was a religious man, which his curse was also in his name, his parents choose biblical names for their son. For his sister she did not get a biblical name at all. Why he was cursed who knows? Maybe they were foreshadowing his grim future of his religious practices.

With a sigh as he walked in he automatically did the motion of the cross across his body. Then he walked over to a seat in the church then took his seat, sat down on it. All he could think about was thinking to just cry out and pray some more but no he did not. His dark brown eyes looked around the church he always arrives every Sunday to think and reconstruct his life. Also this was where he would be able to talk to her and feel like he is connected still. Adam's sister thought he was crazy for still going on about it for these long ten years and not move on. Especially since he shall be turning 33 soon which he has not hooked up, dated, looked or even really married another girl since Lillith. After just staring off for a little bit he grabbed the bible in front of him then just began to read Genesis, again. His name Adam was because of the names in Genesis, stupid parents, he hated his name. But he did not care he has dealt with it for too long to care really anymore.

A graveyard waited for her in Marseille. Her red-brown hair was curved out at the ends, making her hair look even shorter. A black coat was wrapped around her, tied by a black tie made out of the same fabric as the coat. It was good to be off of San. Everyone month she tried to visit Marseille atleast once. She would have moved to Marseille, but there was a good deal on a place on the land across the waters. She had found a person to take over her guest room, and even had a guest room for her nephew when he decied to stay over. Three was a storage room, that could easily become another room that she could rent out as well. The man who was in her guest room, was cute. IT didn't cross her mind to think of him any other way than someone that was renting out her guest bedroom.

As her eyes looked forward blankly, her feet passed the gravestones. She wasn't extremely relligious, but whenever near a graveyard she felt as if she needed to pay her respects to all who lay in it. The graveyard was her wake-up call. Her sister was happily married with two kids. She was thirty five and hadn't really been in a relationship. The last time she even had a relationship was when she was about 24. He just wasn't the one, cheated on her. In Bernice's mind, she felt as if she'd never even feel pleausre none the lessa date. She had morals and wasn't a desperate woman to resort to picking up some guy she just met.

A smile came to her eyes, a feeling of warmth came over her. She turned and looked to the headstone she was near. "Hmm." her mind blanked from her thoughts for a moment, but that didn't last long. Ever since she was a young girl she wished that one time she would just meet a guy and instantly get butterflies in her stomach. Those warm thoughts faded as her mind was brought back into the real world. The bells had been ringing. The church was not too far away.

Looking back towards the grave, she gave a smile. " Thanks." Something just came over her when she stood near that grave. Labeled Mary-Sue because the name was not known. A crack was now visible in the gravestone, her head looked towards the church. Something told her she should go and with one more glance, her feet moved. Her walk turned into a graceful sprint. Smilling from the feel on f the wind running around her, she slowed down when she got to the door. Slowly she walked into the church. Her eyes looking forward. She had thought she had hear dsomething. Her eyes didn't move though. Bernice might have not been tainted, but you didn't have to be tainted to think something was there that shouldn't have been. She was a believer in the supernatural. She believed in the Lord of course, but she wasn't closed minded. Someone walked passed her, brushing her shoulder as they passed. It was a beautiful church, one which she hadn't stepped in since she was little. It brang memories of her family, that she just didn't want to remember.

'This was a bad idea' the voice in her head confronted her. She stood there with no emotion for a moment. Then turned around and walked outside. A second later and the wind once more seemed to be circling her. The same feeling she got from the grave game over her, but it quickly changed. Something was wrong, something negative. She dind't have to hear aything or see anything to have that feeling. Walking back in, she figured it would be safer inside the church. Bernice sat in the back, looking to the alter.

Sitting in the back of the church he was just day dreaming on about his life and such thinking maybe he should give up. His hands were together and his right hand was messing with his wedding ring on his left hand. Maybe another reason why women were not interested in him since he had the ring. Though he was not married he still kept the ring on as dedication each day to his deceased wife. His sister says he should cut it out but he does not want to and doesn't know how to move on really. For some reason he just ended his life with his wife as well and was devastated. At this point he should of have children but his wife couldn't convince any children. Sad thing, he did want children a lot which he was thinking maybe to just adopt one on his own.

He found out he would be rejected if he went to try so he did not even bother and didn't think the natural way would be good. He sighed deeply did not notice the person sitting near him and clasped his hands together finally. His dark eyes closed which he did let out a little pray out and it was nothing much, he just wished for something maybe more in life. But for some reason he felt something inside of him to just stop praying, open his eyes. Which he did his silent 'Amen' then he looked up at the alter as well. With a small shake to his head he was wondering what his God had in store for him in life. That is when his eyes kind of shifted over to a woman who was sitting in the back row as well. No she was not near him but she was close to him which she seemed like she was alone too.

For some reason he just felt some urge to talk to her but he did not know why since that was not of him. Looking at her, contemplating, he was thinking of his approach which did not seem like a good one. God he would look so lame just sitting next to her and talking but he had to think of something. Looking down to the ground he looked at his hands again then he stood up finally. This was him making his move, no not hitting on her, just talking with her since she seemed so troubled. He got up sat over near her but did not say a word for he did not know the words at all and looked down to the ground. Words, he needed words, he sat there trying to form a stupid sentence up but no nothing good came to him.

"You know if you do pray then he does hear you nice and clear. If you have troubles in your life though it is keen to look to maybe someone more close to home to speak with. Um..." He said since she probably thought he was some creep out of no where. So then he scratched the back of his head with one hand then the other hand went out. "Sorry to butt in on you. I'm Adam. I just am normally here all the time and never seen you around before. Also you looked like you needed someone to talk to so just offering a helpful hand. I'll go away if you want." He said the last part out just in case she was uncomfortable with him being there. He did agree this was so odd of him since he never went up to some random person. But she was screaming for attention, help maybe, so he came to her to help. All good intentions, nothing bad, he was the same kind hearted person trying to help out a stranger in need.
