The possession of a conscience was surely the greatest imposition ever laid upon mankind, Ezra reflected as he sat in the dirt, underneath the hot, desert sun, in chains. He had, yet again, found himself chained to his six coworkers, who he knew secretly were the only real friends he'd ever had.

"We're going to get out of this, brothers," Josiah spoke.

The men smiled. They knew the truth, but also that Ezra would never leave them.
