Danny Orlis Goes To School (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
When she had gone, he sat heavily on the side of the bed and for a long while stared at the floor. Back home Mom and Dad would have long since finished reading the Bible and gone off to bed. Laddie would be lying on the hearth asleep, and if the wind was blowing, the lake would be lapping gently on the shore. The young woodsman got up and walked over to the desk and back again. He could still see the disgust that had flashed across Uncle Claude's face when his uncle had realized that he was praying. He could still see the surprise and scorn in Bob's and Larry's eyes. It made him weak and sick inside. Danny turned back to the dresser and picked up his Bible. It was the first time in his life he had ever stayed with anyone who wasn't a Christian. Slowly he laid down the precious Book, switched off the light, and dropped to his knees beside the bed. He did not know how long he stayed there praying, but when he finally got to his feet and began to undress in the darkness, he felt better.
