“The kid was surprised by the old man’s wickedness, but for some reason, he wanted to hug him and found his evil and baseness sublime and endearing, and even a little comforting somehow. But all this passed as the old man went on another tangent and started talking about poorly divided subdivisions out in a new housing development east of town, and all his murderous mystique fell to the wayside, and he regained his normal and deaf and offending demeanor, a counterfeit only playing at the sublime, a man less than the sum of his crimes.” — Darby Guise
