The events happened as the 11th hour elapsed within the time zones which comprise a day. They are unsolved crimes that only the victims and the perpetrators were duly aware of, till subsequently revealed during confessions. They are rendering of the confessions that caused the worst mental anguish to the priests. Conversely balanced with the best acts of kindness they ever experienced.
The evilness that lurks in someone's mind brings an awareness of the goodness that tends to dwell in people's heart. If I'd dreamed up these stories, they would have been nightmares or at the very least, a bad dream.
Enjoy,
