> > It might've been the lack of sleep, the sheer relief of getting clear of Jeshimon, but Reef began to feel some new prescence inside him, growing, inflating -- gravid with it seemed he must become, he found excuses to leave the trail now and then and set off a stick or two from the case of dynamite he had stolen from the stone powder-house at some mine. Each explosion was like the text of another sermon, preached in the voice of thunder by some faceless but unrelenting desert prophesier who was coming more and more to ride herd on his thoughts.


It seems to me that Reef's epiphany is short-lived.  How did he end up
from this highpoint to wasting time over in yurup playing the role of
a card shark con man and sex toy?  And abandoning wife & son...
