The pew is worn from many years of being sat on during services.  It looks fairly basic upon first glance.  But there is something just under the surface, something moving.
Pew, Inside Church
organist
priest
I am a priest from the nearby abbey.  I take confessions at Sunday mass.  I am even tempered and mild.
Thank you for agreeing to work today! I love working in the Church.  I do live here. Please take one of these as a token of our appreciation. It is bounded with a gold-lined cover.  Oh thank you so much. This is the best gift I have ever gotten.  Do you want to prepare for service tomorrow? I would love that, but we need to investigate something first.  What do we need to investigate?  A parishoner reported there was something moving just underneath the surface of the pew. I have no idea what it could be. We've had these pews for years.  Oh no. Do you think it's a snake?! Eww! I hope not. The whole serpent in the Garden of Eden still causes me distress! Same, priest. Do you want to look under the pew? Yes, but can we do it together?  Yes. I am scared too. Priest.
