Lips as Red as Blood
Hair as black as coal…skin as white as snow…lips as red as blood… Oh, if only people knew where the blood on those lips came from, maybe then I wouldn’t shackled to a wall, talking to myself as I wait for a trial I don’t deserve for a crime that…well, I did try to commit, but righteously so.

The Prophet Algorithm
The sanctuary was glass and chrome, humming softly with neural datafeeds. A massive LED cross floated above the congregation, pulsing with synchronized colors.
