#sinners lisa

Part 2 of the monstrosity that are my thoughts on sinners. Side note: I have too many and won't be posting them all because I physically cannot.

Others on tumblr have mentioned this already but: the dead?

60 people leave one night and vanish? The devastating hole that must've had been is immense. We never see what happened to Lisa, what happened to the widowers of Mary and Pearline, we never know. All we see is Sammie going back to the curch just in time for Sunday service.

Does someone bother to file a repport for those missing bodies, for those people? And what is Sammie supposed to do with all that grief? With the knowledge of everything that went wrong that night?

Do you think anyone asked? Did anyone remember the Preacher boy that was with the SmokeStack brothers the day before that dreadful night? Do you think anybody asked him about what he'd seen? Do you think Lisa looked for him searching for answers? For what happened to her parents?

Do you think she came to him running with tears streaming down her cheeks, yelling, running across cotton fields, asking, demanding, what went wrong? Why did her parents not come back? What did they do to get them killed? Do you think she asked where the bodies were to give them a proper grave?
