Light In August

By William Faulkner

Ultra-Condensed by Samuel Stoddard


Joe Christmas
Well, here I am.
(Some people tell Joe Christmas what to do.)

I am now an uncaring wretch. (Kills somebody.)
(Somebody else tells Joe Christmas what to do.)

I am now a hateful devil. (Kills somebody else.)
William Faulkner
Human life is so absurd.
Joe Christmas
(dies)
