The only thing separating them were six feet of dirt and an illicit bible verse. It wasn't written in the Big Book like all the rest yet... Devine found it beautiful and complex.

Much more worthwhile then some dusty old text, passed down by some unseen, un-forgiving being shouting orders down at us mere mortals.

No, Devin had been smart. Where Marty had preached the good word and impending Apocalypse on the streets... Devine had cultivated a close knit following he'd command.

Control...

A bullet was sometimes needed to silence unrest.

Devine's judgement befell his scapegoat.

Murder begets obedience.

    The drabble reminds me of a lot of the stylized movies I've been watching lately. Very nicely done!
