Pompey’s Trip to Glory Ends in Silence and Escape
A troubling tale unfolds as Pompey, elated by talk of dying and joining the afterlife, warns a nearby crowd at a prayer meeting of awaiting glory. At midnight a gruff voice returns for Pompey, but the cabin door reveals that Pompey already moved north months ago and will not return. The narrator ends with a racial refrain about shared humanity.
