Dial - Season 1 - Episode 6

Evidently, whereas some took Bishop, Apostle, Evangelist and other great-sounding titles, LIGHT was the highest title of honour here.

Light Grayhem nodded finally and said indeed he could see the glory of God in me, and so I could join the Main Lighters congregation!

Bajoe was ecstatic as she walked with me down a splendidly lit corridor.
“Wow, Yao, this is an honour!” she said with unfeigned delight. “He accepted you straight into the Main Lighters Congregation! That is reserved for top Lighters, those who really understand the calling! Oh, my love! Sorry I doubted you! Indeed, you and I shall be a couple!”

Well, I didn’t know what the hell they were talking about because I wasn’t going to stay in any Main congregation. I was just there to crank her thighs open, take a dip, and go my way! But if getting into that Main Lighters Congregation could get her so excited, then so be it!

We were ushered into a glass-panelled peaceful reception where I was expected to pay a Congregation Fee in honour of the Supreme Light, God the Father.

I gave them a cheque with a handsome amount that made their eyes bulge.

Next, before I knew it, I was ushered into another room with Bajoe going another way.
“I’ll see you in Congregation soon, Yao,” she whispered excitedly, and then she was gone.

A young man in the room told me that service would start soon so I should take a bath. He was there to assist me.

“I took a bath before I came,” I informed her with a little uneasy smile on my face. He looked stonily at me.

“You must bath in the Purified Light Water, please,” he said calmly. “In there, please.”

I didn’t want to argue, and so I nodded and entered the room he indicated.

There was a huge bath filled with some slight bluish water, and which seemed to be bubbling. There were mirrors and towels, but no sponge or soap.

I took off my clothes and slipped into the water.

It was amazingly lukewarm, perfumed and quite pleasant.

I soaked in it for a few minutes, enjoying the caress of the special Purified Light Water.
When I came out I dried myself and…

My clothes were not where I had left them!
I looked all around, but my clothes were gone!
Had the boy taken them? What was happening here?


I wound one of the white towels around my waist and went to the outer room, and found that the boy was waiting patiently…and he was stark naked!

Now that wasn’t funny one bit.
“My clothes,” I said softly. “Where are my clothes?”

He looked at me, and I had the palpable feeling that this particular young man didn’t like me one bit.

“We are late for service, please,” he said in his totally cultured voice. “Your clothes have been taken to the Apple Room, where all sin began. From now on you must go to service in the form the Supreme Light, God the Father, created you.”

I looked at him, and then I giggled.
“Wait a second,” I said softly. “You mean naked?”

“Not naked, sir,” he replied with the patience of an adult toward a troublesome child. “Bare. Please, drop your towel and follow me.”

I didn’t know what to think.

For a moment I thought I was dreaming, that this was some kind of mad joke.

The young man walked to the end of the room and drew the heavy curtains aside, and then he opened the glass windows.
