The Heretic

Emmett Casey is a man desperately trying to outrun his own history and his family’s heritage. He seeks forgiveness but knows there is no redemption in it. The long road of life now behind him in which he has attempted to atone for the sins of the past while they still haunt his dreams and waking thought, Casey fights his way toward respectability as he lives his life for those that can no longer live it for themselves. No longer young he recalls his past lives and the youthful energy that fueled his frenetic struggle to acceptance. Sorry for those lives of others that he took, thankful for the lives he saved and regretful for the life he didn’t live himself, in this, the third chapter of the saga of Emmett Casey, he at last turns and comes to terms with his past.
