No Saints Day

Iscariot drabbles. Alexander Anderson, Enrico Maxwell, Father Renaldo, Yumiko Takagi, and Wolfe Heinkel all have their moments in these short ficlets. Some spoilers, all genres.

10. Serving God

Who do you think I serve, Maxwell? Do I serve you? The Pope? The name of our Church?

Have you forgotten?

Of course you have.

I serve God.

I don't serve your ambition. I don't serve territorial greed. I don't serve a human construction.

Not above God.

And I'll put aside my feelings to serve God. I'll put aside my loyalties to serve God. I'll put aside my very soul in service to God.

Today I will serve God as only an Iscariot can. As Jude gave Jesus to the Romans for sacrifice, I give you, Enrico, to the dead.
