By Neal Shusterman. Trade Paperback. Hardcover eBook. About The Book. Perhaps the universe should have deigned to provide such warnings, but scythes were no more supernatural than tax collectors in the grand scheme of things. They showed up, did their unpleasant business, and were gone.
Her mother answered the door. What she saw was how her mother stood there, suddenly immobile, as if her veins had solidified within her, scythe neal shusterman pdf download. As if, were she tipped over, she would fall to the floor and shatter. Resonant and inevitable, like the dull toll of an iron bell, confident in the ability of its peal to reach all those who needed reaching.
Citra knew before she even saw him that it was a scythe. My god! A scythe has come to our home! He stepped over the threshold, his soft slipper-like shoes making no sound on the parquet floor. His multilayered robe was smooth ivory linen, and although it reached so low as to dust the floor, scythe neal shusterman pdf download, there was not a spot of dirt on it anywhere.
A scythe, Citra knew, could choose the color of his or her robe—every color except for black, for it was considered inappropriate for their job. Black was an absence of light, and scythes were the opposite. Luminous and enlightened, they were acknowledged as the very best of humanity—which is why they were chosen for the job.
Some scythe robes were bright, some more muted. They looked like the rich, flowing robes of Renaissance angels, both heavy yet lighter than air. Just as many were drawn to them. But none of this changed the fact of who and what he was.
He pulled off his hood to scythe neal shusterman pdf download neatly scythe neal shusterman pdf download gray hair, scythe neal shusterman pdf download, a mournful face red-cheeked from scythe neal shusterman pdf download chilly day, and dark eyes that seemed themselves almost to be weapons. Citra stood. Not out of respect, but out of fear. She tried not to hyperventilate. She tried not to let her knees buckle beneath her. They were betraying her by wobbling, so she forced fortitude to her legs, scythe neal shusterman pdf download, tightening her muscles.
A scythe in the foyer could still turn around if the door was open. He looked around, spotting Citra immediately. He offered a smile. The fact that he knew her name froze her just as solidly as his appearance had frozen her mother.
Ben was barely able to squeak out the one-word greeting. He looked to Citra and to their mother, thinking the same thing they were all thinking.
Who has he come for? Will it be me? Or will I be left to suffer the loss? Nothing special. Then he sat on the sofa and waited patiently for dinner. Was it too much to believe that the man was here for a meal and nothing more? After all, scythes had to eat somewhere. There were rumors of scythes who required their victims to prepare them a meal before being gleaned.
Is that what was happening here? Whatever his intentions, he kept them to himself, and they had no choice but to give him whatever he wanted. Will he spare a life here today if the food is to his taste, Citra wondered?
No surprise that people bent over backwards to please scythes in every possible way. Cooking was not her specialty. Usually she would return home from work just in time to throw something quick together for them. Tonight their lives might just rest on her questionable culinary skills. And their father? Would he be home in time, or would a gleaning in his family take place in his absence? As terrified as Citra was, she did not want to leave the scythe alone with his own thoughts, so she went into the living room with him.
Ben, who was clearly as fascinated as he was fearful, sat with her. The man finally introduced himself as Honorable Scythe Faraday. Like many scientists, Michael Faraday was underappreciated in his life, yet our world would not be what it is without him. It was rare for a person to let themselves reach such an age before resetting back to a more youthful self.
Citra wondered how old he truly was. How long had he been charged with ending lives? I admit to having turned the corner four times. My natural age is somewhere near one hundred eighty, although I forget the exact number. Her mom had apparently informed him of the situation, so he was much more emotionally prepared than the rest of them had been. As soon as he entered, he went straight over to Scythe Faraday to shake his hand, and pretended to be far more jovial and inviting than he truly must have been.
The meal was awkward—mostly silence punctuated by the occasional comment by the scythe, scythe neal shusterman pdf download. Some scythes prefer the spotlight, but to truly do the job right, it requires a level of anonymity. He just ate his ziti. It could only be read as a demand. He knew their names before he entered the apartment, so he probably already knew all the things they could tell him.
Scythe neal shusterman pdf download why ask? The scythe raised his eyebrows. The growth of civilization was complete. Everyone knew it. When it came to the human race, there was no more left to learn. Nothing about our own existence to decipher. Which meant that no one person was more important than any other. In fact, in the grand scheme of things, everyone was equally useless. Citra was well known for her temper. It often arrived before reason, and left only after the damage was done, scythe neal shusterman pdf download.
Tonight scythe neal shusterman pdf download be no exception. Dad put his arm around him, but the boy was inconsolable.
