Transcript

A tale well calculated to keep you in... ...soft Spence. In a moment, act one of the Sin Eater, written especially for suspense by Bob Cochran. This first portion of suspense is brought to you by the makers of Parliament, Cigarette.

Extra Margin. Yes, Extra Margin. Moak after smoke, resist, build her a parliament. He is the cigarette that gives you an extra margin. If reparlement is his work, extra margins, the bill to three steps and made you stay.

I need to clean that. Quarter into a. Extra margins, provoking, need your smoking queen with filaments to bed. The little death comes after him. Rare enough sunlight, striking a man back.

You're just gonna set there reading of the book. How is he, Mo? Same as he was, Jesse. Only being dead, I swear he slips across the black river. And then his terrible fear brings him back again.

Sloot's eye asked you. You're just gonna set there. I figure praying for him. He ain't just sitting here. Praying ain't no good for him, and you ought to know it. What you expect me to do?

Back to the let him die. He know what he is doing all these years. You can't put it on me. Now when it's time to pay. Don't talk, so he's got the burden, not you.

He's looking to lay in the ground while his soul walks and torments through the great, gray world for all eternity or burns in hell fires a damnation. It's pain so terrible, fierce. I see it staring out of his eyes like an animal in a trap.

That's a'd be a mercy for any man. But he can't let his self die. It's not yet, not like he is. Each of us owes God a death, and no man can pay for somebody else.
