Comments on 'Adam: Explanations, the Unexplainable, and a Picnic Table'I sighed. He still didn’t know of my deduction, and I had a feeling this was a way for him to ask about it without arousing my suspicion. “I’m not sure,” I said. “I’m not other people.”
As Anthony shifted in his position, the water in the lake behind plinked up for no apparent reason. His eyes burned green simultaneously.
“It’s funny,” he started, “how the ways of the world work. I don’t understand it. In fact, what makes it funnier is that barely anyone else seems to understand it either. How there can be so much pain and death, and yet a balance of hope and life. Does this mean there’s a God who controls it all?”
“Some people believe so. I do. It’s an explanation for the impossible-to-understand.”
“Explanations,” he snorted. “They’re only elaborations on pre-formed judgments. I do better without them.” And he did. He was part of the unexplainable.
No, Anthony Petrov was not human. What he was, I had yet to find out.
