[{"comment":"The ending is sort of how I feel when anyone tells me writing short story fiction might be a waste of time. But then I think, I just want to believe it will lead somewhere someday, and start typing like wild again.Great writing and good pacing. Look forward to see what you come up with next.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/scott-christenson\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/1512632\/thumbnail_afc30ec38177d2ec9620254c83d0cd754fcb079c.jpg","author_name":"Scott Christenson"},{"comment":"Sam, you are a good storyteller. Congrats and welcome to the show. Unfortunately, I don't think that is how Pope would handle it. It would be handled as this new human nature was handled ten years eleven years ago. Each person would suddenly start finding holes everywhere in it. And the discovery would bow to a superior force after attempting to cow, intimidate and manipulate.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/philip-ebuluofor\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/avatar\/default\/3ddbb55116373e04a0b9c15f93eb1706e4a87bee.png","author_name":"Philip Ebuluofor"},{"comment":"Sam, you are a good storyteller.

Modern story telling can tend to over inform the reader. Less was more here, especially in a short story format.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/lance-sims\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/2362145\/thumbnail_f21331f72bcec3b43ed6dd5610a9683ab3e71330.jpg","author_name":"Lance Sims"},{"comment":"I have to disagree, because like you said yourself, evidence so conclusive regarding God not existing is hard to imagine and has never been done before. The story is fiction, so how would there be any explanation of the evidence that God doesn't exist without it being nitpicked for being incorrect?

I have to admit though that I was hoping for some unique and unexpected proof that the Pope would come up with to counteract the discovery. But your ending was very creative and unique, nonetheless, and your entire story was really interesting.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/julie-squires\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/452547\/thumbnail_db10833e7ded037272ded6ab2725fbe43bbddf62.jpg","author_name":"Julie Squires"},{"comment":"Brilliant!","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/kendall-defoe-ce7767\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/590206\/thumbnail_867b9a00623e417b4844f0dffcffb808848bad58.jpg","author_name":"Kendall Defoe"},{"comment":"Brilliant!","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/alyssa-ayres\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/avatar\/default\/801c34269f74ed383fc97de33604b8a905adb635.png","author_name":"Alyssa Ayres"},{"comment":"<removed by user>","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/alyssa-ayres\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/blog-cdn.reedsy.com\/packs\/static\/upvote-d194bed6aa8ccd6965b6.svg","author_name":"Alyssa Ayres"},{"comment":"You are right on point in the ending.

I was nervous when starting because I thought that this might be a science lesson that I wouldn't understand, but instead was a thoughtful exploration of life's biggest question.

I really enjoyed how you paced the story. The structure kept me guessing and I think you blurred the lines of believable and unbelievable very well.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/kevin-b\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/avatar\/default\/315b39a0fc19fb45d146c17b813d46c7acb0b872.png","author_name":"Kevin B"},{"comment":"Science fiction isn't usually my jam, but I had to read the winner :) Kudos to a unique concept, an (unfortunately) all too real reaction from the world at such news, the multiple points of view btw Lexi and the Pope, and the unexpectedness of both the Pope's attempt a suicide and the nun jumping to save him, leading to a kiss. That was a great ending. Of course I have so many questions...what was the discovery, namely? But I think part of the craft of short fiction is that you can only allude to some things.
