“If you want. I’ll be here.”
“I want you to be with me up to the last moment, if you don’t
mind. You and my lawyer.”
“What exactly do you want to pray about, Sam?”
“Well, I’d like to know that when I leave this world, all the bad
things I’ve done have been forgiven.”
“God expects us to confess our sins to him and ask for
forgiveness.”
“All of them? One at a time?”
“Yes, the ones we can remember.”
“Then we’d better start now. It’ll take some time. I want to say
a good prayer for the Kramers. And also the Lincolns.”
“Who are the Lincolns?”
“It’s a long story. More victims. There was Joe Lincoln, but I’ve
already written a letter to his family and told them I was sorry. I
always felt bad about killing him.”
