This is my story about a legendary gunslinger that returns from The Civil War to become a librarian in West Virginia. He falls in love with a Christian schoolteacher who invites him to teach her students to shun violence.
Her students idolize
him to the point where he recalls the dead and the dying that soaked the earth
with blood. He tells them guns are not a solution. We need education to solve
the problems that face our country. Are you saying we should give up our guns?
My pa ain’t gonna like that, said a freckled face tow headed boy with high
water pants held up by hemp. The Librarian smiled and said one of The Apostles
used a sword to cut off an ear of a messenger boy who brought bad news to
Jesus. The Son of God picked up the ear and put it back on the boy as if he was
Mister Potato Head. Then The King of
Kings proceeded to scold his apostle who might have been Judas. He who lives by
the sword will die by the sword. The children asked him what Jesus meant.
It means that the blue light sword turned red because the
apostle lost control to The Dark Side Of The Force. A little pony-tailed girl
raised her hand. So it takes a good Jedi to take out a Sith Lord, she said and
then made the sounds of light swords hissing and clashing.
