Yearning Apotheosis (2)

   
   "Yearning Apotheosis (2)"
   
   Cindy Simpson used to be your garden-variety, ALL AMERICAN GIRL.  Got her undergraduate education, drank heavily and carnally partied while using illicit substances; next, after working as a banker, her conscience ignited to a form of spiritual life; specifically, the Virgin Mary (Queen of Angels) appeared to her vivid imagination, glowing in platinum white and azure blue.  Therefore, Cindy was inspired to throw the past out of the haunted window, and become a Dominican Nun.
   The Dominicans were founded by Saint Dominic, them mystically morphing into an Order of Preachers; plus, associated with dogs.  Domini Canes is a play on the Latin language that kinda/sorta means:  "Hounds of the Lord."
   Cindy loved working at hospice and holding the hands of those corporeally ill; next, their holy-crafted spirits giving flight towards the Almighty Maker.  She fed them optimism in a Christian sense, having prayed over many that had passed away into the Otherworld.  
   Little did Cindy know, she was about to make a new friend.  At Catholic Mass on Sunday morning, she encountered an emaciated, lonely-looking man sitting humbly at the back of the Church; furthermore, she felt an intrinsic desire to speak to him--his name was:  Britt Flynn, the anti-hero of this story.  And the Pillars of Heaven would soon shake with Divine Inspiration.
