Lost Little Lamb

Cindy shows up at the pastor's place because she's been thinking dirty thoughts the Church would call sinful. Mrs. Murphy answers and says her husband isn't home, but offers to walk with Cindy until he gets back. Halfway around the block she blurts out that she knows exactly why Cindy came—those lesbian urges. Cindy freezes. Before she can bolt, Mrs. Murphy suddenly remembers cookies in the oven and drags her back inside. They sit in the living room, cookies on the table, and Mrs. Murphy drops the bomb: she’s a lesbian too, and so is the pastor. They use his job to hunt for people wrestling with their sexuality, then “shepherd” them into bed. Cindy’s jaw drops—this can’t be what the Church wants. Mrs. Murphy just smirks, flips open her Bible, and quotes the line about God loving the ones who wander. Says she and her husband are the shepherds sent to save the lost little lambs. She slides closer, tells Cindy she can save her too, and reaches out.
