Pastor Allbright

Pastor Allbright - a man the community knew as a pious man diddled his niece under the Thanksgiving table testing her leg with his salad fork and inching his bulbous thumb across her thigh. Slipped out back through the screened porch out of sight of the family lit a smoke and stepped into the starry, autumn night. A sixty pound ball of frozen waste - a blue ball of doom dislodged from the belly of a passing airliner struck the pastor square in the center of his baldpate killing him instantly his cigarette still burning in his mouth as he lay across the kid's red wagon, not to be found until everyone had their pie and coffee.
