When the poor cripple by the pool did lie
Full many years in misery and pain,
No sooner he on Christ had set his eye,
But he was well, and comfort came again.
"Thank you," Herb Asher said.
Above them the city machine worked, gathering up the remains of Belial. Gathering together the broken fragments of what had once been light.
