What was your day like?

The sexton of Holy Saviour Anglican church in Curepe, Trinidad, had a real drama this morning. He was abducted right in front of Royal Castle, Curepe junction. A man stopped and offered to drop him to church. Then when he got there the man said, "We going for a run." They stopped at the corner of Ragbir and Maclean Streets and picked up 2 other men. One took out a note book and the other asked the questions: When the collection is taken up?... If kept at the priest's house?... How much he works for?... What bank they put it in? They took him as far as Cane Farm Road, Trincity, then dropped him at Kaydonna Cinema. The sexton came to church later to tell the priest and make the report to the police and he was still in shock, most likely counting his blessed stars he was still alive. There have been a recent wave of hold-ups of business places in Curepe. The St. Joseph Catholic church got held up a short time ago - the crooks stayed in the congregation the entire service and then held up the persons counting the money. A woman was abducted on Tuesday. Police says she put up a struggle. This was evidenced by the discovery of her bloody dentures. I can't describe the level of disgust I feel right now. This isn't the first time I am going to say it, but it is definitely the most passionately I think I will ever meant it: I have no intention of ever living in my homeland again.

Oh, by the way, my mother is the priest at Holy Saviour Anglican Church.
