nineteen

I guess it's about time I shared something with the flock. I thought about keeping it private at first, but honesty is a virtue.

I remembered my name. I'll still go by Chapel--I've gotten kinda fond of it--but if you want to, you can call me Nicholas. Nicholas D. Wolfwood.

"Flock"?

It is good that you can recall your true name.

The congregation, the community I serve—a priest without a flock's like a sandworm without the earth.

Good for who? Well, I guess it'll let me order those monogrammed towels.

So you are a man of faith, then?

You jest. For many, the recovery of true names is a matter of great personal importance. For myself - the name I have chosen suits, although I fear that I cannot live up to the, the inherent expectations. But I do find myself wondering who and what I used to be, and might be again.

Something like that. Once upon a time, I was a priest.

A name is just a label. Maybe it tells you what people call you, but it doesn't say what you used to be. Or who you are.
