In the front row, second from the right, is Sister Shin.
The Yongsan Catholic Seminary observes morning prayers from 7 am to 8am.
It is 8:25am and Sister Shin is pregnant.
She is also an agnostic, resting in routine.
Her smile is not for the camera.
In the back row, first on the right, is Sister Gi.
Sister Gi joined the convent to escape what he is, but couldn’t escape Sister Shin.
It is 1963 and they offer identical smiles, to a mechanical eye, as a metaphor for a moment which they they can feel flashing bright and fading.
Ahead of them... there be monsters.
