A few words for Six Sentence Stories where the given word is Turn
.

Let me read it to you.

“Will you welcome Emma Mia and uphold her in her new life in Christ?”
The proud parents, the godparents and priest are gathered around the font, family and friends sit upon the pews.
A creak as the door slowly opens, some turn to see who’s entering; “Christ saves you as your own”.
He stands at the rear and looks on; “Receive the sign of the cross”
The babe’s mother glances in his direction; “I baptise you in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit”
The father’s parents smile, ‘if only they knew’ he thinks as he crosses himself, turns and leaves the church.

Thanks so much, Frank.

Heartfelt thanks, Beth.
I’ve lost count of how many illegitimate cousins I have found in my family tree. Of course, better than discovering your fifth cousin murdered his wife.
Absolutely!
We are only as sick as the secrets we keep, right?
Right!
