About
Graphic Novel:It Takes a Village, Part 3
The Haitian and his father take a "dark walk" or Petro to a mountain with skulls and images of death etched into its face. Guillame says this is a place where people come to make amends with what they've done wrong. Guillame thinks his son is the sin and, in a trance-like rage, lunges at the Haitian.
Graphic Novel:It Takes a Village, Part 4
Guillame and his son struggle—Guillame lunges at the boy with an axe and throws him down the cliff. When Guillame gets control of himself, he shares a brief tender moment with his son, then throws himself off the side of the cliff to his death.
Graphic Novel:The Crossroads
In March 2007, many years after fighting his father, the Haitian returns to the crossroads. He performs a ritual and experiences visions in the forms of his victims, a serpent/crane, and his father.
Memorable Quotes
"That day, at the top of the world, where the realm of spirits and world of man met in blood and shadow."
