In a small town

 

in the desert.

 

No hotels or anything like that.

 

The town is centered on a small church. The church is very special because it's the original church of this or denomination. Perhaps it's because of its true purity. Ed Opus has been wandering trying to find the right resting place where he feels his soul can be at rest. He knows his death is upon him and could happen any moment now. He comes upon a small town and eventually his spirit is led to the steps of a small, old school church. He immediately feels the ground is special and knows this is where he wants to die and be buried.
