No Dove, No Covenant…
- The apartment building and the stairwell are musty. The attic apartment is definitely not.
- That's because all of Campbell's windows have been broken in.
- It's okay—Campbell likes it.
- Sort of.
- At least it's fresh air.
- Plus, it all reminds him of Helga and that time they survived bombings and climbed stairs in buildings that led to nowhere.
- Campbell and Helga were like Noah and his wife. Except that God hadn't promised them anything.
- It reminds Campbell of a time during the bombings in Germany when he saw the wife of a schoolteacher shout to the heavens begging for answers. For a reprieve. Her husband hit her to knock her out then apologized to the Nazi patrol.
- The Nazis offered forgiveness.
- The teacher woke his wife and reverently told her she was forgiven.
- Meanwhile, bombers continued bombing.
- The couple's kids sat there like nothing was happening.
- We can't relate. Something is happening. We want to know what it all means. Urgently.
