  • Sufferance

    Creator

    King, Thomas

    Abstract

    Jeremiah Camp, a.k.a. the Forecaster, can look into the heart of humanity and see the patterns that create opportunities and profits for the rich and powerful. The problem is, Camp has looked one too many times, has seen what he hadn't expected to see, and has come away from the abyss with no hope for himself or for the future. So Jeremiah does what any intelligent, sensitive person would do—he runs away. He goes into hiding in a small town, at an old residential school on an even smaller Indian reserve, with no phone, no internet, no television.
