The last two chapters were a bit short and this is a long one. You know how sometimes you have time to kill and it dies hard? You know how when that happens everything you try to do to kill the time winds up sucking? Yeah, me too. Church has that experience. He has it with his memories, and with his brother, and with his old friends, Fidum and Pravus. Have a look to see what i mean. THANKS FOR READING!!

Joe finds out about Andy's power. That discussion goes about as well as you might expect...not at all. Joe digs deep and seems to find some humility. We'll see how long that lasts.

Firstly, I'd be particularly interested to have your thoughts on this chapter. Beyond that, I'm not sure what to say about this one. Church goes back to Joe's and finds Shawn awake. Shawn and Church have a short, emotional conversation that ends with Shawn asking Church to let him all the way inside of Church's tormented psyche. Church does just that. He reveals more of himself than he ever did to anyone. THANKS FOR READING!!
