Seven-year-old Davis fell into an abandoned church, landed in Alaric's arms, and gave him half a cookie.
Eighteen-year-old Davis met him again in the wine cellar - the devil who was injured by a silver cross.
"You remember me?"
"I always remember it."
Virginia's grassland farm, sunshine, sheepdogs, and rhubarb pie.
The devil in the ruins of the church, with its charred true body, aura of ashes, and unblinking eyes.
This is a story about "sunshine and ashes".
Demining and Reminder
· Rhythm: Slow and intense. The first few chapters lay out the world view and daily life, and the emotional line gradually unfolds.
· Style: With dark/religious metaphors, the depiction of the real devil may cause discomfort.
· Scale: There are kissing and ambiguous descriptions, above the neck, without turning on the light but not over the line.
· Historical background: It involves real historical backgrounds such as World War II and German immigration, with light research.
In the Old Testament, God made a covenant with man.
Outside the Old Testament, the devil makes a pact with the farm youth——
"You are not allowed to die in front of me."
Purpose: To explore where love and self belong in ordinary life and mysterious legends.
