Sepulcher

sepulcher \SEP-uhl-kuhr\, noun:
1. a burial place; tomb

Sepulcheral sighings.
The room is large and filled with pews, lines upon lines of them, angled towards the center, where the walkway lies, a velvet worn carpet, leading the way towards the pulpit, which is carved out of wood, accented with gold, filled with spirals, but also crosses, and at the top, a space, where the anointed orator stands and speaks.
The room is high with tall and narrow windows of stained glass, each masterfully cut to portray the stages of a life of a man believed to be so great that the building that holds this room was built for him. Each window more intricate than the next, the scenes becoming more violent than the last, until one shows Death, and then the remarkable rejection of It.
The room is long and the columns, archways, and lines of the floor do nothing but make it appear even longer, larger, more like a great hall than a room for worship. All is ornate and powerful. Grand and humble. Worn and resilient. Fearful and awesome.
The size of it dominates everything. Despite its height and empty spaces of waiting, it weighs heavy. It holds silence like a tomb. A step taken is an echo made. A breath is a wind. To perch on a pew is to creak and set the whole place to cracking like bones.
