Al I herd wɘz that familyer yelin. Maga maga maga maga.

Set in a dystopian future many years after The End of Elections, everything is run by The Company and the State. Seth Hibard, a sludge farmer who lives in Hill Country, leads a life full of quiet contradictions. He is in turns shy and talkative, outgoing and awkward, and though not religious himself, he has a loving relationship with his very Christian wife, Jayn, with whom he shares a fondness for the Godly Stories, including one about Seth's biblical namesake. Seth is also fond however of an old book from before the End of Elections, An Atheist Christian Gunslinger, which speaks to a more violent side of his nature that he has kept in check.

But when his intolerant neighbors start harassing migrant farm workers who have settled in the area, Seth finds himself taking a stand. He knows that, one way or the other, more blood will be spilled. 

Seth's story cannot be separated from the language he uses to tell it. He records the spiraling violence in his own unique way, his dialect and way of writing being integral parts of the world into which the reader is thrust. It is a world at once familiar and strange, a place where the basest of human impulses are set against a simple man's desire to do good.
