Mikal Fanon didnt join up so he could hurt people. Sherry Nicolas didnt meanto fall in love. Niani Shange didnt want to inspire any violence. Jack Currydidnt want to love someone who didnt love him back. Richard Lovecraft didntintend to be made a fool. Hatred??????seething raw unblinking hatred??????canbe as inspiring as love. And when Mikal gets caught up in a rally part of agroup of new friends with whom he finally feels he can belong he doesntreally question the message. He doesnt stop to think about the meaning of thecrowds chanting. Hes just happy to be a part of it??????a part ofsomething??????and hes basking in the glow of the man on the podium. A man whoconfidently knows himself. A man who can control a crowd. A man who thinksbeing white makes him superior. And Mikals not the only one attracted toRichard Lovecrafts light. But Richards isnt the only light around ?????? andwhen attractions are pulled in two different directions a violent tearthreatens everyones world. «
