Prayer Beads Sliding Through Fingers in Las Vegas Chapel

Warm candlelight glows against deep blue evening shadows in a quiet chapel corner. Polished wooden beads slide between fingers, their smooth surfaces reflecting tiny points of firelight. Stained glass panels cast geometric patches of ruby and sapphire across the stone floor and the back of a hand. A dark wooden arch frames the close-up action, creating a window within the room. The beads move slowly, their texture rough against the skin in some spots, glassy in others. Dust motes hang still in the warm air near the flame. The final bead rests against the palm, catching a sharp glint of the dying light.
