In the future, when new leaders of countries, worldwide, realize that the cancer of unforgivable crime cannot be healed with treatment, new methods of cutting it out are invented. As humanity's hunger for blood grows along with its desire to improve its society, these methods become more and more grotesque and macabre. Like the public hangings and beheadings of criminals and offenders in pre-20th-century eras, the townspeople gather to witness the cleansing of their population; and, in doing so, relieve the natural human desire for destruction and carnage by being showered in the blood of those they despise. The young and old are present, brandishing umbrellas so that their evening-wear remains unsoiled. This is the new Church of the people; the new congregation of faith in that the human species may redeem itself, not to God, not to the Creator, not even to Mother Earth, but to itself.
