The Cathedral Thief

We all have stories we keep hidden in the deepest and darkest corners of our souls. We all have secrets, things we keep preciously, like a treasure buried on a desert island. Except the island is not lost somewhere in the Pacific Ocean but is deep inside our minds, and the treasure is not a treasure at all, but rather the memory of an event which changed and shaped our lives and destinies.

We all have secrets and mine lies buried in a dirty backyard, along with a fragment of tainted glass stolen from Notre-Dame and the story of the Cathedral thief.
