GRACE COUNTY CHAPEL, est. unknown is a location placed in the heart of Grace County, ████ with a population of █. Known for its serene and calm environment, the town itself is also referred to by its other, more prominent name that both locals and visitors outside use regularly: God’s Grace.

It’s chapel— a grand building made with marble, stone and concrete stands in the center, where light from the clouds always seem to land on. Its wooden steeple leans slightly, though it has never collapsed— not during storms, not during floods, not during any incident documented in county records.

Strangely, no founding date is listed in the preserved county archives. Multiple restoration attempts have been recorded, but each is marked ‘inconclusive’ or ‘unnecessary’. Photographs taken decades apart show the building unchanged, down to the position of dust motes caught in the morning light.

We had the privilege to meet with one of the chapel’s oldest members, Father Dozer. Who— Sla uv vaoly wyhpzl fvb iba fvbyzlsm;
