Lent (Blogophilia 51.7)
Moonlike, the face reflected the glow from the screen.
“..and now my Brothers
and Sisters as we begin the quadragesimal journey into the personal wilderness that is Lent, we strive for a
plan of examination for our souls…”
The white clad figure droned on.
“Yeah, right.” Jeremy spoke at the screen. “I’m tired of
being in the wilderness.”
Ever impatient, he pressed the remote button.
“..I’m feeling like a
bad boy, mmm just like a bad boy. I’m ripping up a rag doll…”
The singer’s curls looked almost three dimensional on the
little screen. Jeremy smiled at the cute
figure, knowing what was to come.
Click.
Blackness replaced the glow. There was a lot of data to
process, and like the Priest said, a lot to plan. The forty days for him was
up.
And yes, he was going to be very, very bad boy.
Pigs think they are smart, don’t they? They were too obvious
rooting around those cars. They were in the wrong place for the hit. Who cares?
It wasn’t time, yet. Two packages were safely tucked in the trunk and they didn’t
know. Just put on a song and dance out the back seat and let them wonder.
Time out.
Tomorrow is go time.

This section was brief but interesting! You canture Jeremy's thoughts, often twisted and confused, very well when you write for his character! I like that.
