Nathan’s first reaction had been to swing a punch at Benjamin, hard enough to knock him out cold. He’d taken boxing lessons to keep him fit, so he could’ve swung one before Benjamin knew what was happening. Violence never solved anything, but it sure would’ve made him feel good at the time.

As Nathan walked along the side of the dark road with only a half moon to light the way, he remembered crying as a child, scared of the dark. He was sent to bed in a darkened room and left to imagine scary creatures under the bed. His father would not even allow the bedroom door to be open slightly to let some light in.

He knew if he crept out at night he would face his father’s wrath. It was scary to stay in that darkened room, hiding under the quilt. That’s when he first learned to pray, and every morning when he woke he thanked God for keeping the monsters away. When he grew older, he realized that the only monster in the house was the alcohol with which his father overindulged.

He wasn’t scared of the dark as a grown man; he wasn’t scared of anything. Benjamin had made him feel like an idiot, but perhaps he hadn’t fully thought things through. Why would he open himself up to the community only to be hurt again? Benjamin didn’t even know him and hadn’t known his parents and somehow, he was against him.

Then Nathan remembered the people who had been wonderful to him, like Violet, Valerie, Nancy, and Hezekiah.

When he was halfway home and had calmed down some more, he wondered if Violet had been the reason he was thinking of returning. Yes, she was an incentive, but she was right, he couldn’t let her be the only reason for coming back. It was kind of hard to take her out of the picture and make a decision. It would be easy to walk away from the community just as he was walking home right now—one foot after the other and never looking back. That is, if it weren’t for Violet and if it weren’t for one day wanting to see his mother again. In the past, every time he’d thought about returning, someone like Benjamin would block his way.

Right now, he was flip-flopping with his decision and he hated being indecisive. He remembered a scripture about God not liking people to be lukewarm. He’d rather someone be hot or cold and he would spew the lukewarm out of his mouth. He’d have to make a choice and the sooner the better. Was he going to go back to the community or continue with the life he already had out of the community?
