Into the Dark
Rick Mofina
This book is for Carsten Stroud,
a wise master who showed me the way.
This is an evil among all things that are done
under the sun, that there is one event unto all:
yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil,
and madness is in their heart while they live,
and after that they go to the dead.
—Ecclesiastes 9:3
