Spring is here. The annual renewal of the town means that colors abound, including in the faces of every passerby. People say hello to each other in a friendly manner that hasn’t been seen since the previous year. The smiles are contagious.
Stephen, the town priest, is perhaps the only unhappy soul to be found. He sulks from the portico of the church as the healthy and eager parishioners who remain alive celebrate as if he weren’t there.
Business was much better during the plague. For once in living memory the townspeople actually welcomed his ministry instead of the doctor’s.
