Absolution Quote by Carlyle Labuschagne

““© Carlyle Labuschagne 2014 " As I watched her run down the path and melt with the shadows, I wasn't sure how to feel about her, or the fact that I may just have aided in her escape and doomed us all. I wanted to believe that anyone given a second chance would use it wisely. But wisdom I guess is hard to obtain when destiny stands in its way.””

It is by far the most elegant worship, hardly excepting the Greek mythology.
