Cole peers through the cloudy glass one last time, his hands loosening on his gun. He sets his gun down on the corner of the couch, carefully moving around the furniture as he makes his way toward where I stand at the wall.

“Who are they?” he asks, placing his palm against the cement blocks.

“Sinners … like me.”

“You mean, like us,” he says in a firm tone. I tilt my head toward him but his eyes are glued to the names on the wall.

Mollie Bayberry, Gluttony.

Sam Buckwalter, Wrath.

Kelsey Miller, labeled Lust. I’ll never be who they say I am.

I can totally relate to that.

Naif Gwinn III, Greed. Midwest. I lived in a bomb shelter underground for five years with my family. When we came out, we were all accused by people we didn’t even know. When they came for us, my parents fought the guards and were shot in front of me. I lost everything. I ended up in hell. But I met others inside and have survived living here for two years. I don’t know how some days. I wasn’t greedy before, but I would kill others for food now if it meant I’d make it one more day.

Kimberley Drajogvic, Lust.

Ben V. Shunnemaker, Pride. It’s who I am.

My fingers shake as I strain to read all the names. Some of them leave messages related to their sins, others write just their names and brands. I can hardly believe my eyes as I take it all in.

Jerry Piagentini. I was born here. I don’t remember my parents. I grew up on the streets, working odd jobs for guards to make enough to eat. I’ll probably die here. Life is hopeless.

Kristen Dayspring, Lust. From High Society, formerly known as NYC. I was accused the night of my 18th birthday by my best friend. I had a party while my parents were away, and she was jealous of the gift her boyfriend got me. I liked him, I’ll even admit to wanting him … but it wasn’t worth it. I never got to say goodbye to my mom and dad. If you ever meet them, tell them I love them.

“Did you know her?” Cole asks.

“No, I don’t recognize the name.”

Cole lapses into silence, and I wonder what he’s thinking.

“After Keegan left, I wasn’t allowed out much. I think my mom was afraid of losing me too.”

“Huh, isn’t that ironic,” he says quietly.

“Yeah, tell me about it. Keegan forgave her for everything before he died … Sometimes I wish I could do the same. But I’m still angry with her for sending me here. How can I not be?”

“Lexi, you can’t hold on to that anger,” he says. “Trust me. You might end up doing something that later on you’ll deeply regret. Forgiving someone who hurt you is hard as hell to actually do, but in the end, it brings you the kind of relief you need to move on. Like when you close a book, so you can open up a new one. I have no clue where that weird metaphor just came from.
