"How wonderful! Would you like me to escort you to your room number?" I knew that this was less of a question than a statement. "Ya, that'd be fine." Before beginning to escort me, the woman asked a single question. "What is your name, sir?" I paused before replying. "Jesus." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a world obsessed with social status and perfection, Jesus prefers to stay in the sidelines . All he cares about is remaining unnoticed. It isn't until the things he loves are put into danger for Jesus to become the hero no one knew they needed, and to become one with the court of Chess. WARNING: Contains extensive violence and explicit language (Note: It's pronounced hey-zeus not G-zuss)
