A Convincing Lie

Micah shook his head with slow, deliberate movements. "There are those who rebel against the light, who are not acquainted with its ways, and do not stay in its paths. The murderer rises in the dark, that he may kill the poor and needy; and in the night, he is as a thief. The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight, saying, 'No eye will see me'; and he disguises his face."
Janice tipped her head slowly down to her breast, and then up again. "So he does."
"In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves up; they do not know the light. For deep darkness is morning to all of them, for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness." The boy stretched his left arm to place its hand upon Janice's knee, which he patted with a strangely familiar tenderness. "What sort of sinner have you been, Miss Janice?"
Hypnotized by the horrors of her short future, Janice replied dreamily, "I have been slothful and vain."
"We are all slothful and vain," returned the boy, his voice void of compassion, though it was heavily leaden with a genuine, if morbid, interest.
