Righteous04 - The Blessed And The Damned - Plot & Excerpts
They’d left half their tents. Shirts and women’s skirts flapped on a clothesline. An ax lay embedded in a log. Dishes soaked in a tub of soapy water. A teddy bear sat in front of one tent, staring through beaded eyes across the camp. Jacob tore open tent flaps while his father and Stephen Paul stood by with rifles at the ready. But they found nobody. “Where did they go in such a hurry?” “I think they split up,” David said. “The men were fighting about what to do next. My guess is that once they settled that, they sent the wives and children on to some other place to hide while the men circled back around to continue whatever they were up to before.” “That’s your guess?” Abraham said with a scowl at his son. “No, it didn’t happen like that. They’ve got a secret society of apostates. Men like that thrive only until their deeds are brought into the light. When that happened they acted like the Gadiantons in the Book of Mormon. Righteous judgment was descending, and so they took their wives and children and fled deeper into the wilderness where they can continue their iniquity in secret.”
