[384] Forgive me, Father

Critique
I'm in the middle of working on another piece but couldn't let this idea go, so I decided to start on it. Wanted to get feedback on the very, very early draft, mostly to get feedback on the use of italics as dialogue. I'm also outside of my comfort zone writing in first person, so let me know if that falls flat. Any other critique also welcome!!!

Here's the piece: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yLDrGye2Fds_CTnBbSkW6wBQIqyBAwINK9LLzfD50w0/edit?usp=sharing

The idea:
Priest-confession moral dilemma where the protagonist (priest) keeps having a man come for confession with increasingly heinous "sins". This then creates a massive conflict in the priest trying to uphold the confessional seal but struggling under the moral weight of not acting on what he knows. Will probably end up being a short story. I hope I explained that right; I'm very tired right now, so excuse me if not.

Thank you!!!
