A woman walks out onto the stage, the crowd cheering as she unveils her face. Her high heels click on the floor as she bites her tongue, anxiety rushing through her veins, her heart beating like a drum. Her hands feel clammy, but she doesn't care. She keeps on walking, her head held high, prepared for her speech.
     She steps up to the microphone and begins to speak. "Good morning everyone and may God be with you."
     The crowd says back, "Good morning and may God be with you as well." Then everyone sits back down.
     The woman takes a deep breathe and then begins her speech. "As you all know, I am here today to announce my retirement. After being in the teaching career for 35 years, I think it's about time to take a break." Laughter ripples through the crowd. "After some time, you get tired of hearing 'Miss Way this' and 'Miss Way that.' It's time for me to settle down and take a nice, long, forever break. Even though we're all immortal." She chuckles and continues. "But before my final departure, I would like to share with you all a story. A very, very important story. One you have heard but know nothing about. It's about our savior, the second coming of Christ, who unexpectedly disappeared after the war." Everyone bows their heads and forms a cross on their chest. "So please, everyone, take a seat and enjoy my tale of despair, hardship, and love." The woman sits down and begins her tale.
