12:07 THE SLEEPING
The crux of the book is about The Unwanted and The Sleeping. Everything else is purely unconnected suggestion, or is it? Fate plays upon them all. In its simplicity: James is having nightmarish visits. Lance is struggling to understand who James is. Both love Katherine and lust over Imogen. A living-dead, 154 year-old-man, is on a mission for souls and a Nun is simply everybody’s heaven-and-earth answer.

The Custodian – The keeper of sins inside the ‘Room of Truth’. Sister Miriam is a nun and the original Protector. She is also the Great-granddaughter of The Messenger. She studies in secret, far beneath the Sisters of Hope Convent and the church of St. Thomas. A passage from both leads to ‘The Room of Truth’, were sacrificial mass was offered to Satan, in which Pretty Things gave their souls, freely, to Him.
