The Minister had been bringing homeless people here for as long as he could remember. Sometimes, if he strayed far enough, he had thoughts about what his life had been before. He vaguely remembered other places, other people, a thing named “God”.

“That’s it,” said the minister, “Instant transport … a life among the stars”.

“Well,” said the homeless man, “You’re the priest …”

The tree moaned, just a little, but it didn’t give the game away.
