Oh no! Elijahís off on one again. Liam is grateful to the religious community that takes him in off the streets ñ the people are ëniceí and the food is great, but Elijahís ranting worries him and the lack of privacy begins to eat away at him ñ between work, Morning Meeting, Afternoon Assembly, Circle Time and Social Hour the only time alone is in the bathroom. But it isnít only the feeling that someone is always watching him that is awry in this closed community, and as things wind towards a disturbing climax it isnít only Elijah who disquiets the reader; does Liam have his own emerging demons?
