Case 79
Chapter 4: Aftermath
He had said that it was obvious Turner did not believe in God because he did not show mercy.
He was right.
"Okay okay!" the Doctor laughed, clapping his hands at the boy screaming on the floor.
Jonah was still on his knees, pulling clumps of raven hair out with his bare hands. He was crying too, the tears running down his face. The calm, loving, sane-acting Jonah we all loved was gone. In his place, the very picture of what his visions did to him. None of us knew they were this bad. And this, this thing that happened, was because of the Doctor.

They eventually got him to the floor, plunging the syringe deep into his neck. His pain-filled scream sliced down my spine like a knife.

"Benjamin?"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry," Jonah said his voice soft.
Benjy was shocked. "Don't apologize! It's not your fault, its Turner's."
"That man does not know God."
"How do you know?" I blurted. He looked straight at me, his azure eyes boring into mine.
"He did not show mercy."
The fire in his eyes was beautiful
