We Are What We Are Page #2

We need to stick together now.

You understand?

"And the seed shall become the tree,

which bears the fruit."

- "And feeds the kindred. Amen."

- Amen.

When the Earth has claimed our limbs,

then shall we come home to walk with Him.

To the better place He calls us,

free from want, and hungry

desires of this Earth.

But should some urgent fate,

untimely lot,

bring you to meet your fate,

nameless out the haunt that the lone

regions where has drawed no foot of man,

commend myself to God.

Behold, the Lamb of God,

who taketh away the sins of the world.

- Amen.

- Amen.

He hasn't eaten... since Mama...

Take him home, put him to

bed, let him get some rest.

If he wants something to eat, give him

something light, like soup or something.

- I'll call you tomorrow.

- I'm sorry, Iris.

Thank you for coming, Anders.

It was really sweet of you.

No, no hon... she didn't suffer at all, no.

We're home, Daddy.

She was the first. Now it belongs to you.

December 24th, 1781.

Papa has found our new home.

It is a peaceful place, high on a

mountain overlooking the valley below.

The forest is rich with serenity. The

land, it knows not the industry of men.

Our harvest dwindles as winter approaches early.

Mother has forgone her rations,

so that the children may eat.

Father and Uncle Burnett left

yesterday in search of game.

We pray for their safe return, as I fear we have

not yet seen the whole of nature's cruelty.

- Hi.

- Hey.

I hope I'm not bothering you, but uh...

I wanted to say that when my dad died...

it was really hard on our family.

Especially my mom.

Where have you been?

I haven't seen you all summer.

Academy training? Down-state?

Yeah, this is my first

official week on the job.

- They made you cut your hair, huh?

- Yeah, academy regulation.

- You wanna come in?

- Um... no, it's, uh...

it's just... do you

remember a Valerie Kimble?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, well, uh, have you seen her lately?

Hmm-mm.

Not since school let out.

She's pretty.

Yeah, well, um, well she's gone missing.

And, uh, it was just before the storm,

so I thought that maybe, since she had to

come by this way on her way home everyday,

that maybe someone had seen her.

Well, you could check up at the trailer park.

Only the new girl left, business has been slow.

Yeah, it's been slow for everybody.

All right, well um, well

I'll go ask her then.

I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way, you know...

I thought that maybe, um...

maybe after everything calmed down... uh, we could, you

know, we could go to a movie or somethin' sometime?

- A movie?

- Yeah.

Or... or a restaurant, we could go eat,

you know, whatever you want to do.

- Ask me again some other time, and we'll see. Okay?
