When Father Michael is officiating a funeral service for a woman, he notices that she has a birthmark on her neck that is a peculiar shape and is identical to his own. The next step is to embark on a voyage of self-discovery while going through the loss and grief process. Will Father Michael be able to satisfy his insatiable desire to discover the answers he seeks?
The cathedral was devoid of sound, and the heavy atmosphere of loss hung over it. As the pews were filled with mourners dressed in black and their heads bowed in reverence, the shadows cast by the towering candles flickered along the marble floor.
Eleanor, who was known throughout the community as a woman who was generous but reserved, had left behind not only a sizeable fortune but also a mystery that would forever remain unsolved.Father Michael took a deep breath as he approached her casket, feeling the pressure of yet another funeral pressing down on him. Eleanor was someone he had never met in person, but there was something about her presence that had always seemed familiar to him, almost in a very haunting way.
Although he was getting closer, he was stopped by a peculiar compulsion. For whatever reason, he was unable to provide an explanation.Following a brief pause, he lowered his head and leaned in closer to begin the prayer. However, as he did so, his eyes moved to her neck, and he became completely still.Against the background of her pale skin, a small birthmark that was purplish in color stood out just behind her ear. It was close to having the shape of a plum, and it was the same color and shape as the one he had carried with him throughout his entire life.
