The Prodigy is a multi-part story, based on events taking place in central Kansas earlier this spring. This is Part Two. Part One can be found here. Fields of sorghum give way to fields of hay along the Hamm Quarry Road south of Onaga, broken up by the occasional scrub cedar, and the Church of Luke cuts a stark figure as the only standing structure for a mile in either direction. It's a crudely built edifice, the cheap pine boards now marred by creeping rot from 27 years of driving rain, and local records indicate that the town has tried unsuccessfully to have it condemned on at least two occasions. There is a definite leeward tilt to the church, a product of the prevailing wind that has battered its thin walls since it was first built by inexpert hands. There are no crosses outside, no sign at all, in fact, that you've come to a house of worship, and only the words burnt into the wood above the heavy door give an indication as to what you might find inside:
HELL YEAH
This is incredible. I love your writing! Can't wait for part 3!
This is so intriguing. Is there a part 3?
