Shawn: Middle of the Night, Murmurs in the Office...
There was a figure in the office, all hunched over and rocking back and forth while sitting on the ground. It took a few seconds for Shawn to realize that it was his Dad. His face was covered with a three or four day five-o'clock shadow, gray bits of hair peppering and otherwise black beard that was growing. He was wearing a suit. The same suit that he had worn for the last two days. It was dirty at the the edges of the sleeves were frayed.
His eyes were closed as he rocked back and forth with his knees against his chest, murmuring.
"Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen."
