@Koppenhofer281 burn em down

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

@KyleTrotter281 he's gonna be there to taunt Anse too, maybe all the life after death Addie needs

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

@Jarvisw281 it's up to a parent to make things better.. but that's assuming they can escape their own burdens

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

V- Mom's still a fish. And these black dots are coming thick like flies. I seen a fish like that before. Dead, all getting eaten up.

AD- He loved me too, loved me when I was dying. Funny though. If I'm going to his God I'm going with his secret. If I'm going to his hell...

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

AN- He'll get on and tell me what to treat my family like. Since when it's other folks problem to tell me what I do with my family?

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

J- I could ride away. Ma did that. Didn't work for her though. She's still here. Sure won't work for me neither.

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

DD- Not sure if I love the guts, or if I just care too much about this damned tub.

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

V- The mules knew too, I knew, but Anse told me it would be just fine, but the mules knew and the mules can't hear Anse.

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

AD- He'll always be there. He'll always remember.

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

J- I could ride away though. Away from this smell of death and that hangdog grin.

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

DD- "I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth." #FromTheText

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

AN- Well, I made it didn't I. I crossed that river- kids did their best- I crossed it like I said I would. With all that extra wood too.

Looking back- there's a bitter mystery, imagining what would have been, if I hadn't become myself.

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

...where his great, innate prophecy of being would spark the feeling anew.

A leaf of the Sybil of Cumae; lifted by a caring wind to the exact place in time's fine length...

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

...happy, but wearied on the eve of his latest journey, off to his next setting.

[JohnMichael Chelmins @jchelmin281]

Then, in one final muting flash of light, I looked upon the smile of God's own peripatetic...
