    “This is where the wise man turns away. This is where the holy kneel and call on God. These are the last miles, my brothers. Don't look to me to save you. Don't think I will not spend you. Run if you have the wit. Pray if you have the soul. Stand your ground if courage is yours. But don't follow me.

    Follow me, and I will break your heart.”

The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.”

    "How old are you?" I asked, a quick glance down at her, still waving.

    "Twelve."

    Damn.”
