Imagine being Joshua as a boy whose father was the mad bomber, sentenced to pay for his crimes. Imagine him receiving news that his wild Daddy had been killed in the act of being wild and bad yet again. Then imagine him speaking with you, his contemporary, descended from another rebel father (albeit less violently inclined) whose sense of justice moved him in very different but somehow compatible ways. Not every human could or would want to participate in this conversation between survivors. Thank you for letting me eavesdrop. Please be kind.

My father was a Marine. Sam was by contrast a pacifist, really. Thanks for the caution.
