The shout echoes so loud in the church that the priest bounces back.

"The Holy Spirit in the form of a cat descended from the heavens carrying the message of the times to come. The cat spoke as clear as you and me, Father, and its voice was the voice of angels, and my heart stood still in wonder! And the truth was clear as whisky as I was right there and then, and I knew that it was all true! _All_ true! The _end_ is upon us, Father! The Holy Cat has spoken! All the kingdoms and nations of people will perish, and all that will remain of us will be the tooth fillings!"

Father Albert was speechless.

He had known this moment would come sooner or later. He had known that, at some point in time, Old Tom, like any self-respecting alcoholic, would either hit his head in a ditch or fall off a roof, and then he would walk around talking to himself and seeing holy cats falling from the heavens.

Oh well, what can I do? Every village has to have an idiot in the end.

Now that honor would be bestowed on good Old Tom.

"One Our Father and three Hail Marys before you go to sleep," he instructs.

"Thank you, Father. Thank you, thank you! I will go and spread the word of the Holy Spirit cat for the ages to come."

The door opens, the door closes, and Old Tom steps triumphantly outside, feeling like a new man. After he recites those Hail Marys, all his years of drinking and cursing will be forgiven, and he will be reborn with a brave new life in front of him.
