The Forlorn Hope
I “Rejoice, ye who abide within the camp of the saints!” The Reverend Hájek lifted his crosier above his head like a corpulent Moses striving to summon motion from a sea of wan, sunken faces. He searched them for a vestige of acknowledgement. The mouthing of a hosanna. But the congregation did nothing save behold him with taut anticipation. It occurred to him that if his crosier turned into a serpent, his parishioners would only prostrate themselves in their attempts to eat it.
