Abandoned by his master, Caleb must make his way from the filthy, forsaken city of Benton-Worthy to the holy city of Blauvelt, and as he cannot afford the meager price of a bus ticket, he must do this on foot. Beset on all sides by sinners and fiends, Caleb encounters an odd man (looks odd, talks odd, smells odd) who offers to be his escort and guide, asking very little in return...or so it seems.

On the road, Caleb must swallow his pride and re-evaluate everything he once took for granted, but the pain and the inconvenience might just be worth it in the end.

Sam Better has just enough free time to write very short novels, but not enough time to write them well. He thanks you for reading them.
