Summary
Dan asked Herbert the same question again one night, playing with his fingers in bed. “Am I going to Hell?”
Herbert had sighed tiredly. They’d been over this. At this point, Dan should have made his peace; he’d either punish himself until the end of his days, or he’d set himself free. Herbert was sick of the attention afforded to this particular fallacy, anyway. And yet, that night, he chose a new answer.
“Who knows,” Herbert said, “but I’ll be there, too.”
He expected a spark of fear in Dan’s eyes, but instead, he saw only relief. Dan pressed Herbert’s hand to his mouth.
Now, 9 months later, sitting alone in the cold basement, just one floor below Dan and his perfect girlfriend, Herbert would like to change his answer.
