The girl sat uncomfortably in the pew as the preacher was talking, but every time he uttered a "damnation" or "fire and brimstone" a bright pink sign would intermittently flicker "Don't just exist." It was just so annoying. Perhaps it was her age, but for someone else, the sign...might have felt like "a" sign. Church services were a chore her step-father imposed on the family...it was a bothersome Sunday interruption that took up too much of her day.
