The evilness that lurks in someone's mind, brings an awareness of the goodness that tends to dwell in people's heart. If I'd dreamed up these stories, they would have been nightmares, or at the very least, a bad dream. The events happened as the 11th hour elapsed within the time zones which comprise a day.
