Challenging chapter

“ and isn’t it strange that three grown men here in a century so many thousands of years away to discuss this crime as though it happened in King city yesterday and hadn’t come up for trial”
Discussion between adam samuel and lee

“ well every little boy thinks he invented sin. Virtue, we think we learn, because we are told about it. But sin is our own designing.”

“ And you have left them fatherless” samuel to adam

“ the sheriff was staring at a picture of three cherubim- just heads, curly haired, lipid eyed with wings about the size of pigeons wings, growing out of where their neck would be”

Samuel and Adam are getting closer- Samuel is helping Adam find a well/water, helping him in that digging process.

“ I seem to be telling you everything.” “You must want to. There is always a reason.”
-adam to samuel
