Chapter 38

.

Jacob and Lily went to this underground nightclub. For an underground club, they were suprisingly strict on alcohol. Everyone had to either show proof they were 21 or older, or take a stamp on their hand telling the bartender not to sell them alcohol. Because Jacob and Lily were 16 they each took the stamp. Lily looked around, couldn't help but notice that roughly half the couples here were of the same-sex. That must be the underground part of this, because much of the chrislamic community didn't approve of homosexuality. The music wasn't hardcore, Jacob and Lily danced together. When Lily went to the ladies room Jacob was approached by an old friend named Michael. Michael was a year older than Jacob, they'd attended the same elementary school. Michael's parents wanted him to attend a chrislamic highschool, he and Jacob drifted apart after that.

.

Jacob: It's good to see you again Michael.

Michael: Good to see you too.

Jacob: How have you been?

Michael: It's been a little hard. My parents thought sending me to a religious school would cure me of my homosexual tendancies. They were wrong, so I come here and they pretend they don't know. I never saw you here before.

Jacob: It's my first time.

Michael: You here with anyone in particular?

Jacob: Yeah. You remember Lily?

Michael: Yeah. Didn't you two used to help old mrs Rose?

Jacob: Yeah, we've been dating for a few months now.

Michael: Good for you. Came here because, I'm guessing it's not easy?

Jacob: Not always, but she's worth it.

Michael: I believe in Christ, in a little over a month I take his mark. But I also love men, it's one of the few things I disagree with chrislam on.

Jacob: Who am I to judge, hope you find the man of your dreams.

Michael: Thanks, and I wish you and Lily the best. It isn't easy for defectors like her, too many of our people don't accept them, the fanatical satanists try to murder them. That's why we need clubs like this.

Jacob: So this is a chrislamic club, I thought it was just underground.

Michael: Nope, it's for chrismujews who have homosexual leanings, or where defectors from satanism can come and feel safe. Lily is a defector right?

Jacob: Yeah. She can't take the mark until she turns 18 but yeah, she's a defector.
