Jesus is King

Finally working on a new story after a complicated move back North. It's another second person POV - an approach that's challenging but I think interesting. So many stories rely on first person POV these days - too many I think. But second person remains fairly uncommon. The story is another inspired by my sojourn in the South - this one by an older gentleman who walks around downtown with a sign reading "One Nation Under God Jesus is King" in bright red letters.
