My Sunday began like every other: I woke up by tossing aside my loose blanket and shuffled myself around the past week's laundry to the bathroom. A quick look in the mirror confirmed that my stubble had grown enough that I began to consider shaving and that my green eyes were still framed by dark, puffy bags. I pushed my blonde bangs off of my greasy forehead, revealing a field of dark red pimples contrasted against my pale skin. My eyes then wandered over to the part counter where my toothbrush and razor sat, only for me to shrug my arms and exit the bathroom, mentally promising that I would use them tomorrow.
Once back in my bedroom I quickly tossed on whatever clothes looked clean from the floor and assembled an outfit consisting of of a wrinkled grey button up over a black T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I then went to my small apartment's tiny kitchen. Not feeling like taking the effort to make anything complicated, I reheated some Chinese food from a few nights ago and scarfed it down. At this point I would usually sit down at my computer and waste the day away on the internet but I instead left my apartment, took the elevator down to the ground floor and began walking down to the local church
I wasn't really a particularly religious man; my parents had been, however, and the familiar atmosphere of a morning service had become a simple comfort since losing my job two months ago. The building itself was fairly small, only having enough seating for a few dozen people, but for a church in the middle of a decently sized city it did its purpose. In front of the door, greeting all people as they entered, was Father Liam. The preacher was an older white man, probably in his late forties to early fifties, with thinning grey hair and blue eyes that stared me straight on as I approached the entrance.
"Good morning Jacob, It's always wonderful to see a new member of the flock return, most people stop coming after a week or two." the older man said, a warm smile on his face.
I responded to his greeting with a quick nod and wave before entering the building, giving my messy blonde bangs a quick tuck behind my ears. Inside I saw that of the four pews, all of them arranged in a single row, the first two were completely full. Despite coming every week for the last two months I still didn't know any of the names of the other regulars, as I preferred to sit in the back away from everyone else. Besides, most of the regulars were middle aged and elderly people, with the youngest looking person besides myself I could see appearing to be in their mid thirties, so I doubted I would be able to make friends with anyone even if I tried. As usual, my habit of sleeping in ensured I was the last one to arrive and a short while after I took my usual spot in the back right corner Father Liam kicked off his service.
I never really listened to Father Liam's speeches, simply using the nostalgic atmosphere as a way to clear my often troubled mind. Today however, I found myself unable to relax as I usually did. I had realized yesterday that I would be six hundred dollars short on rent this month and I had been up late last night trying to figure out how I would come up with that much money in just a few weeks. I had hoped that today's service would help me calm down and let me figure out a solution, but the stress and anxiety just kept building up inside me until I felt like I was about to throw up. My spiralling was broken by Father Liam when he raised his voice to bring the attendants together in prayer.
Normally when Father Liam called for prayer I would simply put my hands together and mutter along with everyone else. This time however, as desperate as I was, I decided to truly and earnestly pray. So I put my hands together and whispered a simple prayer, asking for an opportunity to turn my life around
My voice had been drowned out by the others that filled the room, barely even reaching my own ears let alone some higher power's, but just speaking my worries aloud had eased the knot in my stomach, if only just a bit, and I found myself able to relax, able to lean back in the pew and let my mind empty for a bit.
As the sermon continued, my eyes found themselves subconsciously drifting over to Father Liam, my attention drawn when he raised his voice again, only for my relaxed reverie to be broken as I slowly realized that he looked different. It was hard to place it at first, especially from so far away, but eventually I noticed that he looked younger, his face was less wrinkly and his hair a bit more colourful. As I continued to stare at him it became obvious that he was still changing, his wrinkles continuing to vanish and his hair fully returning to the vibrant brown that it must have been back in his youth. These changes continued over the course of several minutes before the middle aged man preaching before me now looked like he was in his mid-twenties.
Despite this drastic transformation Father Liam, or anyone else for that matter, seemed to not notice. I thought of saying something, and even managed to (almost) muster up the confidence to interrupt his speech, but my words were caught in my mouth when I noticed he had once again begun to transform. His baggy robes pulled tight against his body, allowing me to watch as his limbs became slender and delicate, his waist and shoulders narrowed and his hips widened and what could only be a pair of average breasts. His hair grew down to his shoulders before being hidden under a black and white coif as the rest of his outfit reformed into one not typically worn by priests.
Father Liam had become a woman wearing a full nun's habit, with an angelic voice that continued to deliver the sermon without her or anyone else acknowledging what had just happened, or as I soon realized, was still happening to her. Her transformation continued, no longer a gradual shift but rapid fire bursts of localized transformations. Her habit was pulled tight across breasts that swelled until they were larger than their owners head. What was once a long concealing tunic became a knee length dress as it was pulled up by widening hips and an inflating ass. Tears began to form in the fabric as the woman before me shot upwards until, just as she crested seven feet tall, her entire outfit morphed all at once into a form that not only fit her new frame, but showed off her newly enhanced assets.
Her new clothes still resembled a nun's habit, but it was now twisted into a fetishized version of itself. The chest not only had a generous V-neck to show off the woman's cleavage, but a pair of heart-shaped holes that left her nipples visible. The skirt part of the tunic, still only coming down just past her knees, gained a slit down its left side, showing off one of the woman's shapely legs. Said legs were now clad in a pair of tight black leggings, with a pair of black heels on her feet.
Distracted by the unbelievable sight before me, I only just now realized that the sermon had changed at some point. Now sounding unlike any other church sermon I had ever heard before.
"...and so the Goddess gave birth to the first of the monsters..."
As I listened to her speech, the woman that had been father Liam started to change once again, beginning with a pair of holes appearing in her coif that allowed black, upward curving horns to exit through the top.
"... but her children were at first reviled by the humans..."
A pair of bat-like wings unfurled behind her, with a wingspan larger than she was tall, that quickly folded back behind her.
