Pam's Journey J R Sweeney

Surprised, the young scout spied a sturdy man in a grey robe sporting a shaved head and wearing what looked like sharp silver claws on his hands. He was sitting above, on the overhanging branch of a tree, directly over where the crusty old captainapproached. The man lunged off the branch landing upon the older Roman captain's shoulders. The young scout watched the man scissor the captain's neck with powerful legs and then with a quick twist of his torso snapped the captain's neck with a crackling noise. Riding the captain off his horse and down to the ground in a dead thump. Pam's Journey as told by the ferryman. This is a tale of souls searching for the answer to an unanswerable question. For in my time I have learned that the passage to hades or paradise is not the will of man. Yet some souls look for passage out of hades, other souls are destined to hades and all souls wander hapless.
