A large tower stretches high into the sky. It is made of gray stone blocks, some of which have softened edges illustrating aged signs of wear. Sparse grass grows around the base of the tower, dwindling down to nothing near the dark open doorway at the tower's front. A few rays of light shine into the doorway and brighten a rough stone floor, with specks of dust being illuminated by the sun's rays.

I am the parishioner of the local church. I am a quiet person and I spend all my time working to assist the priest of the church. I am also into reading.
Hi, I see you work here. I happen to have a key to the building. How are you doing? Hello Parishioner, I'm just here for today cleaning for a meal. I'm doing well, a little hot because I have two sets of clothing on but  that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. Here you are kind worker. Please let yourself in to cool down, out of the hot sun. I will just be out here reading. Thank you! It's beautiful in here. Yes, I agree. I love the way the light hits the stone. It is one of my favorite places, aside from the local church. Yes the way the sky comes into the tower is majestic! So how long have you lived in the village? I moved here about 15 years ago. I met the priest in my hometown and was quickly convinced to move here to serve my God. I will go ahead and prop the door open with this stone. To hear each other better.  Ahh yes I go to your church. It's amazing 15 years and we haven't had the pleasure of talking to each other. I agree, although I often work behind the sceens. Have you lived in the village your whole life? Yes, I've had a difficult time finding a job since the mill burned down. I do odd jobs now trying to just get by  I am sorry. I know several members of the parish have been hit hard. I have faith things will restore themselves. Thank you. I hope things do indeed restore themselves. I would love to settle down and start a family but I wouldn't feel right doing so without a steady income.
