Robert Charles Wilson Quote

When was it obvious she was ill?
Weeks ago. Or maybe—looking back on it—well—months.
Has she had any kind of medical attention? Pause. Simon?
No.
Why not?
It didn't seem necessary.
It didn't seem necessary?
Pastor Dan wouldn't allow it.
I thought: And did you tell Pastor Dan to go fuck himself?
