A Bitter Place

Saka (31) was diagnosed with an undiagnosed illness after suffering a work accident while driving a truck carrying hazardous chemicals. Saka, who did not believe in non-materialistic beliefs, visited a cult that practiced mass healing rituals. During the ritual, a riot broke out among the impatient worshippers who wanted to be healed. The cult leader appeared to heal the followers' wounds to diffuse the chaos. The incident left Saka amazed and convinced of the miracle, strengthening his faith in the cult. When it was Saka's turn to be healed, his condition worsened, and the wounds on his body grew larger. His faith began to fade, and Saka wanted to expose the cult's fraud.
