”Why me?!” she shouted, finding her voice. ”I’m no more guilty than anyone else!”

Re: Ch. 16g Working for the man (Lawrence)

“Garden of Eden stuff, but nothing more than that,” said Billy . “Just regular sermons, like they all do.” He looked relieved at Alex’s words, seemingly unaffected by whether they might be true or not. “Thanks. That sets my mind at rest a little.” Anything else you want to ask or happy to move on?

Re: Ch. 16g Working for the man (Lawrence)
Lawrence cleared the blood from the wound, then stopped. The twin puncture wounds he expected to see, weren’t there! Confused, he looked up into the face of Ezekiel who grinned wolfishly, his teeth red with blood. As Lawrence was still trying to process this, he heard sudden movement behind him and...

”Agreed,” said Kris. For once, Simon was right.
He took the chit from Malone. He’d get the keys and his tactical gear and then they’d be on the road.

“I spoke to him often after she left,” said Billy. “He was the one who kept my head above water. I can’t believe that he could sit there and talk to me like that if he’d been having an affair with my wife, I just can’t.”

Re: Ch. 16g Working for the man (Lawrence)
”Jus’ here,” the woman replied, pointing in the direction of a nearby tree, where another woman knelt by a young man with light brown skin, who was sitting propped up against the trunk. His trousers had been torn up as far as his knee and Lawrence could see twin trickles of blood running down his c...

“Are you saying we’re gonna die?!” cried Bill. “I thought you were a rescue mission?! You’ve got guns, haven’t you?!” With shaking hands, he pullled out his hip flask, then thought better of having a drink, and put it away again.

A young, dark-skinned woman woman - one of those who worked in the cotton fields - looked over the fence at him. ”M...

Re: Statement 5: The Road to Hell
Des’ self-belief eroded in a heartbeat and she sank to her knees, staring in shock at the hellish townscape in from of her.
”Fuuuuuuuuqqqqq… …” was all she could say.
