This story kept me awake last night, thinking. That’s a compliment (though sleep would have been good too). It’s about truth and consequences, yes, but it’s also about sin and redemption and youth and adulthood and taking the side of the victim rather than the victimizer; and how a victimizer comes to live with integrity, but not fully; and community strength vs. individual and economic strength; and so on. The victimizer becomes sympathetic; it wouldn’t have been nearly as interesting if the victimizer had been evil through and through. Then I could have gotten to sleep earlier.
Thanks, Dave. I’m so glad the story made you reflect, and I appreciate the share. 🙂
Oof, what a story.
