Fire on the Altar

Some people have a unique ability to control others in such a manner that whatever they say or do is appropriate. This story depicts characters who, through blind loyalty to a leader, can destroy the lives not only of innocent children, but adults who have lost touch with reality and become as hurtful and destructive as their leader. While right does not always win, there are those who will continue to fight for the preservation of goodness. In doing so, they may lose the very thing that means the most to them.
