Shrine
A little girl called Alice. A deaf-mute. A lady in shimmering white who says she is the immaculate conception. And Alice can suddenly hear and speak and she can perform miracles. Soon the site of the visitation has become a shrine. But Alice has become the agent of something corrupt, a vile force that is centuries old. Innocence and evil have become one.
