Epilogue
That night the Dove returned to Needy, but not in a dream. She was lying in bed awake when she heard the delicate flutter of feathered wings and her room became luminous. The Dove appeared in the air above her. In his beak, instead of an olive branch, it had a green stem with three pink snapdragons. The Dove put this on Needy's chest and alighted on her pillow.
And the voice of the Dove, like three voices in harmony, whispered in Needy's ear, "Jennifer is my lamb and you are my lion: both of you and Charles are my beloved children, in whom I am well pleased. The Kingdom is within you and it is outside you. When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living God. Behold, I give unto you, Anita my child, power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
Forty days later, a band called Low Shoulder came to town.
The End.
