Reverend Doctor Bunsen Honeydew

He watched the scene before him. Falling trancelike into reverie. Though the episode slipped his memory, the emotion never faded.

All the science in the world could not replace the feeling of peace that washed over him as the face of God appeared before eyes, blinding him instantly. He could not remember details such as the color of the eyes, shape of the nose, nor even the width of the mouth. All those years of practiced observance, down the tubes in a flash.

He did, however, recall the words, “Bunsen, you are mistaken in your ways. Follow the path to me and you will have all the answers you seek.”

At first Bunsen argued that it was an experiment gone bad and dealt angrily with the blindness. Once Wayne and Wanda convinced him that the words spoken by God were in fact, spoken by God, he lay down his lab coat, picked up a Bible and was returned to a sight filled life.

He went on to pastorial college and was now Reverend Dr. Bunsen.

Waving a hand, he pressed through the crowd, “I am a Doctor.”
