The fear that had been a tight knot in his stomach for weeks began to unravel. He looked at the altar and saw not a crisis, but a transition. If the weapon of joblessness was meant to break his spirit, it had failed. If the weapon of debt was meant to steal his faith, it had missed the mark.
The church was empty, save for the faint hum of the air conditioning and the dust motes dancing in the afternoon light. Marcus felt a desperate need for something—a sign, a word, a reason to keep his head up.
"It won't work," he whispered. Then louder. "It won't work!"
Marcus walked out of the church ten minutes later. The sun was setting, painting the sky in defiant oranges and purples. He still had to call the landlord. He still had to find a job. But as he started his car, he hit the back button on the CD player.
The heavy wooden doors of the sanctuary creaked open, but Marcus didn’t look up. He sat on the front pew, his head buried in his hands. The eviction notice in his pocket felt like it was burning a hole through his jeans. After twelve years of loyal service, the factory had closed, and Marcus felt the walls of his life closing in with it.
