Hard as their life had been, they managed to get by.
The only problem was that a housing project was to be carried out in the town these days and the developer had circled out a piece of land which included the area the temple was built on. The old priest had been putting painstaking effort into keeping this temple going for his entire life, there was no way he would agree to move.
After a few rounds of negotiations, which were to no avail, the developer had lost all their patience. The big "Demolish" outside was their ultimatum. It was common knowledge that once the developers had their eyes on a piece of land, they would have their properties built even if God himself was sleeping on it!
